    I am watching from Canada. I am from Papua New Guinea. We Melenasians sailed out from Guinea port. Melanesians are descendants of West Africa. Abu Bakr II from the Mali empire sailed out crossing Transatlantic over to North and South America with 3200 ships. Some of the ships sank during the voyage across America. Those Melanesians are the ones who couldn't make it over because of the Global Conveyor Belt (great ocean waves). I am very happy to see you visit Melenasia and hope someday we will reconnect our history back to West Africa especially Mali and Shongai Empire and Maccabees of Judea in Philistine. We are not lost, we follow our King Abu Bakr II crossing the transatlantic oceans and drifted away and that is how we are here in Melanesia. We are brothers and sisters who also live in the Philippines and Taiwan. Roman Catholics and white anthropologists hide our history and that is why most of us are lost including Australian Aborigines. I hope we could meet someday if the time is right. Much respect and may you continue to connect Melenasians back to West Africa. May God of our ancestors Holy Amun-Ra Blessed you.
