DARK MATTER PARADIGM | http://www.darkmatterparadigm.blogspot.com Dr. Gary Ajamu Young has been researching the genealogy and history of Africans and African-Americans for many years. Several years ago, he presented a lecture series on the African impact on the Olmec civilization. In the lecture, Young provides scientific evidence on the African origins of the Olmecs, contradicting generally accepted scholarly consensus. The evidence provided goes beyond alternative speculations and theories, illustrating clear contact between the ancient cultures of Africa and Mesoamerica. Young suggests that the Olmecs were related to the peoples of Africa based on epigraphical, genetic, and osteological evidence. Simply, the interpretation of facial features of the colossal Olmec head statues is undeniable proof of a "Negroid race", since it matches up perfectly with that of the Mende people of West Africa, as was first espoused by Jose Melgar, Leo Wiener and later proponents like Ivan van Sertima and Clyde Ahmad Winters. An interdisciplinary analysis of Native American skulls has shown that there is real evidence, that Native Americans have any many links to an African presence in America before the European encounter. According to studies and research conducted by Young, the Olmecs were Africans from the Mandinka region of West Africa. They used the Mende script to write and they spoke the Mende language, the same language spoken by Cinque in the movie 'Amistad'. The Mende script found on monuments at Monte Alban in Mexico, has been deciphered and it was found to be identical to the Mende script used in West Africa. Afterwards, the language was found to be the very same language spoken by the Mende of West Africa. One of the most important connections made to show that the Olmecs were West Africans is the very strong similarities in race between the Olmecs and West Africans and the ancient Nubians. In fact, during a scientific conference held years ago, West African scientists identified Olmec artwork and representations of Africoid peoples as West African. The Africans also identified cultural traits such as ear plugs, scarification marks and keloid tatoos on the skin and face, cornrows, braids and tassels and even afro hairstyle as West African. Moreover, according to van Sertima (African Presence in Early America), giant heads of stone to represent important people in Africa was being done in the present era as well as in ancient Egypt and Nubia. The 22 or more colossal stone heads carved out of solid basalt rock has identifiable Black African in racial features as well as cultural traits like cornrow hairstyle, braids with beads and kinky hair as well as a type of war helmet identified as Nubian have been found carved in Colossal Olmec sculpture connecting them to West Africa and the Egypt/Sudan region. Hundreds of clay and terracota busts, statuettes and figurines also show Black African racial and cultural traits. For example, scarification marks and keloid tatoos identical to those worn by West Africans and Sudanese Africans can be seen on some Olmec busts and terracota heads. Kinky hair, cornrows, braids are also represented. DARK MATTER PARADIGM | http://www.darkmatterparadigm.blogspot.com The mystery and history of the first peoples - The Indigenous, Original Moors.
