AFRICANS VISITED AMERICA 2000 YEARS BEFORE COLUMBUS , 11 UNDENIABLE PROOFS ; Black History.
11 Reasons Tp Prove That Africans Were in America 2000 years Before Colombus.
Let me take you on a journey through some of these fascinating pieces of evidence of African presence in America 2000 years before Columbus. Take them with a grain of salt if you have to, but I think they are worth some consideration.
1. Olmec Heads: The colossal stone heads created by the Olmec civilization in present-day Mexico, which date back to 1500 BCE to 400 BCE, feature distinctly African facial features. These heads feature facial features such as broad noses, full lips, and round faces that clearly resemble those of Africans more than the indigenous populations of the Americas. Tell me this is not a black man right there. The detailed and realistic nature of the Olmec heads suggests they were based on real individuals. It is no wonder not surprising that some researchers contend that these features indicate an African presence in pre-Columbian America.
2. African Artifacts in the Americas: Artifacts such as cotton from Africa and tobacco pipes found in pre-Columbian sites in South America have led some to speculate about transatlantic contact. In addition, metal artefacts with similar metallurgical techniques to those used in West Africa have been found in pre-Columbian American sites.

Before the next point kindly give us a like. I know to you it’s a simple click, but to us it means a lot.
3. Botanical Evidence: Certain plants like the bottle gourd and the sweet potato are thought to have originated in Africa and Asia but were present in pre-Columbian America, suggesting possible ancient transoceanic contact.
4. Linguistic Evidence: Some linguists claim to have found similarities between certain Native American languages and African languages. Some proponents argue that there are similarities between ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and symbols found in Mesoamerican writing systems, such as those of the Maya. The Mandinka word “makala,” meaning “rice,” is compared to the similar-sounding words in some Native American languages.
Dr. Clyde Winters points to shared vocabulary and phonetic similarities, such as the word “yu” in Mandinka meaning “to give” and a similar-sounding word in the Olmec language with the same meaning.
Leo Wiener, in his early 20th-century work “Africa and the Discovery of America,” cited examples such as the Wolof word “tem” (to cut) and its similarity to the Algonquian word “temagun” (an axe).
5. THOR HEYERDAHL’S RAFT EXPERIMENTS: The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl demonstrated with his expeditions (Kon-Tiki and Ra) that it was possible to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans using ancient boat-building techniques, suggesting that such voyages could have occurred in ancient times.
6. Ancient Maps: Some historical maps, such as the Piri Reis map, allegedly show parts of the American continent with a level of detail suggesting pre-Columbian exploration, potentially by African or other non-European civilizations.
7. Skull Analysis: Studies of certain skeletal remains, such as the Luzia Woman found in Brazil, have shown features that some anthropologists argue resemble those of African or Australoid populations rather than Native American populations.
8. Accounts from Early European Explorers: Some early European explorers, such as Vasco Núñez de Balboa, reported encountering dark-skinned peoples in the Americas upon their arrival.
9. Cultural Similarities: Some researchers point to cultural parallels between African and American civilizations, such as pyramid building, similar religious practices, and iconography, as potential evidence of contact.
10. Presence of Black peoples in Asia, Australia and the Pacific. If Black people can be found in as far as the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia many Islands in the Pacific, why can’t they be found in the Americas? I mean it makes no sense for the Americas to be the exception right?
11. Genetic Studies: While controversial and not universally accepted, some genetic studies have indicated the presence of haplogroups in Native American populations that are also found in African populations, suggesting ancient intermingling.

Absolutely fascinating. I would like to have seen a reconstruction of the woman's face. It looked to me that she may have had an abscess, or 2. Very painful. Would it have been possible to enter her DNA into an online database and see if she's related to anyone living now? I seem to remember that the Black Death arrived in England in late 1348. I have a book, "Dooms Day Book," by Connie Willis, which I've read 3-4 times. Part of it tells the story of a young historian who goes back to a village, near Oxford, in December, 1348, where she witnesses the deaths of everyone. She becomes emotionally involved with the people and helps take care of them. It is so well written that I find myself transported there. Never mind the parts of the book that deal with present day. That's terrible.

I had to chuckle when the gentleman; referring to people on farms moving to town to get jobs because so many laborers in town had died of the plague, said they had a “chance for a career change.” More like a better chance of survival…
Also, at the end when the woman who is portraying the woman the skeleton may have been like looks straight at me. I got the chills! Very moving!

This is so interesting, especially the timing of the Yesenia Pettis genome & the body showing positive for the Black Death. Imagine how the disease spread so rapidly, and thoroughly thru entire villages. Imagine having somehow avoided catching the disease ( or recovering from it). You then leave your village because there's nothing & no one left. You begin to travel, & find the same situation wherever you go, except now you're unique ( simply because you're still alive). You see bodies everywhere & there's no one to bury them. Did this lone survivor bury all those bodies in that Garden? Did the Survivor(s) then become somewhat reluctant unpaid Grave diggers during their travels to find a new life? I imagine they would find entire Barns filled with dead & dying Animals; tied up or just trapped in the barn because the farmer & his entire family perished. It really must have been one of the oddest & unnerving time in Human history. The coolest part is the Archaeology is unfolding these interesting possibilities to fill in their history.

Was really interested to consume this episode when it popped up in my Recommended sidebar. Tried, too, but wasn't in a position to read the dialogue on a screen and couldn't understand the speakers due to the overpowering 'background' soundtrack. Shame, that. Do better, please.

i would enjoy it more if we weren't over six minutes in and Still not actually getting to the point. yes, we are aware that there were dead in that time period. there wasn't a glitch in the matrix that skipped an entire era.
cut to the chase.
the title is "the gruesome mystery of the tadcaster castle skeleton". Not "the endless ramble about the political issues surrounding the period with a bonus feature about this one skelie-ton".
between the over dramatic narrator and the ongoing discussion about the times rather than actually going Into what we're here for, i rather lost interest.
normally i enjoy Timeline's work but this one… oi.

So… Riddle me this, Mr. Narrator. They've previously discovered entire skeletons there… Then why on Earth would finding another skull be in any way unexpected?
