    Our fijian oral history says that there were 3 migrations. 1st from Ancient Egypt, 2nd from East Africa, Tanganyka, and then the 3rd group.

    It’s because of Dr. Runoko Rashidi that my wife and I visited Fiji (Viti Levu). Everything that Dr. Rashidi said (of the Fijians and their history) was confirmed by the Fijians. Rest in Power among the Ancestors, Dr. Runoko Rashidi (1954-2021)🖤

    OLMECS WERE MELANDIGENAL. https://youtube.com/watch?v=jLU9qFHZYho&feature=share
    How did this slip by US???
    WE were obviously TACTICALLY distracted with otherisms/othertivities.

    Rule number one:
    if it looks like a duck then guess what. Qwak qwak.
    It’s more than likely a duck.

    Believe the ARTISTIC IMAGES over invader-settler worded interpretations.
    Don’t be fooled or you’ll be a Fool.

    Next i guess the Scandinavians will be claiming the Benin Bronzes were them.
    What balls Neandertalbinos have.

    Olmecs were neither ALBINO (pale) or NEANDERTALIC (mutant/degenerates).

    That means what?
    They were Melandigenals, not pale faces.

    Whether from Papua Melanesia, Melapolynesia, Patagonia, or Greater Mauritania (west so-called Africa/ancient Ghana) matters not so much (at this time) as who they WEREN’T!!!!

    They (WE) were Megafaunal Giants.
    They were waaay before the nomadic plains Mongindians (Bering Strait Walkers).

    They ((WE) were before the melanated so-called Vai-Kings, and any Palepers from what is now called Europe.

    Who says people have to always be from somewhere else?

    Why is it so hard to digestate that a people may originate from where they’re at?

    Before the 400ft sea level rise after ‘Meltwater Pulse B1’ at the end of the so-called Ice-Age, OUR Megafaunal Megalithian Golden Age was pre-dominate.

    A global naval trading network of Phoenixian MAURitime shipping moved plants, animals and people around OUR planet Ghaya.

    Just to temporarily digress and use some old terminology, please understand that the giant Olmec Cabezas were in actual fact giant mastodon/mammoth riding ‘NEGROID’ peoples that flourished below/outside the Laurentide Ice Sheets.
    Fact!
    Period!

    Trust no lies that came through government controlled Indian/Negro schools.

    Those Neandertalbino people fraudulently calling themselves Mormon are hijacksons trying in vain to claim MAURality.

    They are not MAURS, WE Melandigenals are!!!

    Yet there is an ongoing campaign the influence people who gaze at OUR Grandcestors carved heads, that what their mind sees is not what went through their eyes.

    A masterful yet failing attempt at perception management/mind control.
    It is engineered cognitive dissonance at it’s not-so finest.

    Believe not pronouncements from the Priest Doctors from the Temple DNA Laboratories of Euromerica.
    They be lying of course.

    They have a vested interest in maintaining the MYTH of their genetic supremacy until the last minute of the demise of their paradyme (paradigm).

    Now for those who don’t know, so-called ‘negroidal’ HUEFULL BEINGS are the SEED peoples of every diverse not-so-negroid looking people on this planet earth (Ghaya).

    So all you non-negroid looking ‘hueless beings’ (mutants?) just suck it up, and own your archaic Melandigenal ancestry.

    Honor your 16,000 year old Golden Age AngElders so that your days may be longer.

    16,000 years ago there was only ONE phenotype on Ghaya (earth), and that was the pre-neanderthalic/pre-albinocal so-called ‘negroid’.
    Megafauna Man.
    Melandigenal Man.

    Ask an Eskimoor or Australian Blackfella?

    Hidden HIStory has now become REVEALED OURstory.

    Dr. Ivan Van Sertima and Dr. Runoko Rashidi are no longer in the flesh (by design?), but their research has bountiful meat on the bones of found artifactual evidences.

    Fools and enemies can choose fantasy, fiction, and lies if they want.

    OUR children will be taught at HOME to know (not believe) the TRUTH based on evidence.

    Will the Olmeca Cabezas go the way of the Bamiyan Cliff Buddhas of Afghanistan and be destroyed by agents pretending to be radicals during some hoaxical conflict???
    Seriously consider this!

    Those Bamiyan Buddhas were ‘NEGROID’ too, as are ALL true Buddha statues.

    Somebody’s EGO don’t want dots connected.

    Yes, the Buddha was Olmec and/or the Olmecs were Buddhas.
    Suck it up and digestate THAT!!!

    Read Godfrey Higgin’s 1830’s Magnum Opus ‘Anacalypsis’ and weep.
    free downloads on archive.org

    Were gonna call the Cabezas ‘Olmec Buddhas’ and end this charade.
    Who’s gonna stop US?

    Isolationism is a colonial ‘divide-and-rule’ tactic that is also applicable to academia and the media.
    It’s just another form of ‘claimerism’ thievery by the grandchildren of the usual colonial suspects.

    WE have OUR counter offensives (defenses) too.

    Everbody claiming OUR HERitage snd inHERitance.

    Who is everybody?
    Paleper Egyptians.
    Paleper Lebanese.
    Paleper Greeks.
    Paleper Libyans.
    Paleper Italians.
    Paleper Tunisians.
    Paleper Spaniards.
    Paleper Moroccans.
    Paleper Britons.
    Paleper Francs.
    Paleper Scandinavians.
    Paleper Mauritanians.
    Paleper Meso-Latinos.
    Paleper so-called Civilized Tribes.

    ALL these people mutationally diverged from their ancestral negrotype (olmecan) and can’t seem to own up [psychologically] to their Grandcestors.

    OUR giant, George Floyd, was one of many Descendren of OUR so-called Olmecan Grandcestors.

    If you are in rebellion to that truth come try putting your knee on my neck an see what happens to that leg.

    We ain’t playing stupid with the children of invader-settlers any moore.

    This Paleper gaslighting will not succeed.

    OUR Melandigenal HERitage & inHERitance will be re-claimed from the clutches of invader-settler acade-media ex-perts.

    Melandigenal Free-Men (not freed-men), or so-called Indians who never submitted to colonialism (slavery) are the Descendren of Olmecs.

    NO albinos or neandertalic invader-settler colonialists children can or will successfully claim/hijack OUR HERitage and inHERitance.

    Y’all might as well consider that ideological statue pulled down.

    Their pseudo-academic OPINIONS on MELANDIGENAL ourstory is un-credible to US.

    OUR children will know nothing of colonial HIStory’s LIEducation.

    Nice try.

    Wiggle with words all u want, our Melandigenal quicksand will suck u down irregardless of your obsolete fantasy desires.

    memento a-MAUR-i

    If the aboriginal Indonesian people are black; then why are they racist towards the black Papua New Guinean people? Indonesians they fight with Papua New Guinean people.
    An Indonesian man told me that Indonesian people are not black, and they don’t have curly hair. Most of the Indonesian and Malaysian people that I seen in person; they look Samoan (Polynesian), and Chinese, when they speak their own dialect or language it sounds Polynesian, like the Samoan people. Indonesian and Malaysian people look like a hybrid or mixed ethnicity of Chinese and Samoan.

    The Blacks of Asia may resemble us in the African diaspora but they aren't closely related to black Africans. They are most closely related to East Asians and are in fact closer related to people in Europe than anybody in Africa.

    Start using ancient terms for continent's. And why can't nobody say people of color is indigenous to all land masses and islands?

How Africa Shaped Our Christmas Celebrations: Discover the Hidden History

Published

on



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.
