African History
Did Africans Reach America Before Columbus?
Did Africans Reach America Before Columbus?
The conventional belief is that Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, opening the doors to European colonization. But today, we are diving deep into a fascinating topic that challenges traditional narratives as recent archaeological findings and historical research have shed light on a different narrative, revealing that Africans may have reached the Americas long before Columbus set foot on its shores.

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Bull crap. If these people come to America first, why didn't they discover America like Columbus did.

What a crock of crap! I'm from 2 Mexican tribes, there is nothing, NOTHING! But old bull shit in this video, BS that wouldn't hold up to a new Born's fart in the wind. The Aboriginals of Australia r NOT from Africa, they are from Asia! The ancient DNA studies have been done and verified. They are from Asia, so r the Negritos from the Philippines and the Natives of Papua New Guinea and others. Apparently the features that ppl think r unique to Black Africans, Caucasian, Asian, ect,r not! The Natives of the Americas, have always been all shades of brown, fair, to dark, It's been known for a long time that diet and environment can dictate ur physical appearance, including hair texture and skin color. ALL ancient ppl leave footprints. The only footprints besides the Natives, r the Vikings. They came, not many, they stayed a while and left, they had that wonderlust. Where are the footprints? There are several ancient human fossils of the Americas first inhabitants, none have Afro DNA, NONE! No oral written history, no language, no tribe, no spiritual connection to other tribes. Food is culture, we still eat exactly like our ancestors. Corn, tortilla, squash, peppers, beans, avacado, tomato, cactus, cactus dishes, cactus fruit, the tamale has been around since forever. These are all foods and crops of the Americas. The African eats like the white man, mac and cheese,bbq ribs. Do some research before you make a fool of yourself. Catch up, how dumb and rediculous u sound.

The Africans, the Egyptians, the Vikings all were in America before Columbus, let alone the people that were already there. It really shows the power of white people propaganda. But then, did those others try to colonize the Americas? No. Why, I wonder?

Columbus is a Hoax, a Master Pirate. Just like The Jesus The Christ tales to slave Africans, and Native Indigenous owners of The land.
