  • Lo que buscan todos estos afro-centristas es legitimarse en este continente a costa de nuestros ancestros. No hay precedentes de culturas avanzadas entre los africanos. Es una infamia querer emparentarnos cultural y racialmente con esa gente envidiosa y acomplejada.

  • ppl quit crying here if ur an african dessent or not, the solution is DNA test as some one said.

  • some statues like in the 37 second are dressed like egipcians.

  • i wonder if ALL the artifacts in this video are Olmec art. or if some are Mayan thrown in. there are some with features thats very mongoloid, and yet i cant get over how African 2 of the heads look.

  • Estoy orgulloso de mis raices Espa~olas e Indigenas.I am proud of my Spanish and Indegenous roots,the Aztecs,Olmecs,Mayas were a great civilizations that built one of the 7 new wonders of the world,Chichen Itza. Viva Mexico y toda Latinomerica.

  • hey garyflight i am with you the mexicans are descendants of africans hence broad nose and wide thick lips also lots of melanin too however if they want to be in denial about it let them but there is no doubt that they are of african blood therefore there would be an absolute absence of melanin and skin pigmentation and clearly there is lots of that

  • @thesunwillshineonme What about Koreans and Philipinos,they have full lips and boad noses,are they descendants of africans too?

  • @josemezatorrez well from my understanding yes from the african pymies who traveled to asia a very long long time ago 

  • @thesunwillshineonme So basically EVERYBODY is African.I wonder why they have descriptions of people like Caucasian,African,Arabs,Asian,­Oriental,Mongoloid,so what is our true identity? Did africans travel to Europe?

  • @josemezatorrez well according to the history channel everyone has a missing link and they believe that it was adam the first man who is african so therefore i guess everyone is basically african and in my opinion the only reason why there is so many different so call races was to confuse the world and yes i believe that albino africans traveled to europe and developed their own lifestyle a very long time ago but this is just my opinion

  • @thesunwillshineonme I believe we ALL share many common roots and I still dont understand why their is still so much racism/hate based on color and geographpy.First time I have heard the Albino theory,must admit that is interesting.

  • AWsome chinese art work .

  • Miguel Covarrubias published a series of photos of Olmec artworks and of the faces of modern Mexican Indians with very similar facial characteristics. In addition, the African origin hypothesis assumes that Olmec carving was intended to be realistic, an assumption that is hard to justify given the full corpus of representation in Olmec carving.

  • @spurscitizen Putting up pictures of Mexicans with broad noses and thick lips IS not helping you LOL! Who do you think they inherited those characteristics from? These carvings arent supposed to be realistic? SO they were just dreaming about black people or they wished they were black so bad they carved GIANT heads of black men right?

  • @garyflight your ignorance is gross....There is NO dna evidence to back up any of these silly claims. Or any type of evidence to back up your claims. Natives are simply.......Natives. not black or white.

  • @zinakan Ha! Ha! You wish keep dreammming babay!

  • @zinakan Ha!Ha! you wish keep dreeaaming babaaay!

  • @garyflight hahah the one who is dreaming is you!! nice try u racist donkey!!

  • Comment removed

  • @zinakan Check out Dr neves and the luzia skull, no evidence Ha!

  • i'll give it to them that the heads do look african but the rest of the art kinda reminds me of chinas art ,the motifs even share 164 basic Characters with ancient chinese writting.the clift head carving in this vid look like old chinese clift head art and olmec and china as far as i know are the only cultures that created those clift head art. interresting non the less. art olmec has more vid of the artifacts.

  • Given that the heads often wear helmets, I'd say they are probably warriors, or maybe athletes! u never know...

  • After watching the Olmec heads I found them similar to some Africa heads of ancient dynasty called Benin head You can find it in GOOGLE. The particular vid watch?v=RCnnzr7LzAc

    is so similar to Benin heads arte facts of Ancient Yoruba dynasties of West Africa

  • seen them no similarities between them at all

  • for thoes who don't know some of sculpture in here show transformations from human being into animals like juguars fish, ect a strong olmec belife

  • Wow. The olmec heads do not look like any asian that ive ever seen. Yeah some can have flat noses but what about the lips. You gotta have all the features. and africans posses all the features of the olmec heads. even u asians caint except the fact that they were africans. i can except the fact that native americans came from asians but natives dont look a damn thing like the olmec heads. if u dont know this already its been proven that africans populated the earth.

  • you ever been to south mexico if not you should it would answer your questions-(they were and always ancients indians with "asian eyes")

  • I wasnt even refering to the eyes at all. But okay.

  • thats true. :) people have been telling me that i look philipino. hahaha

  • @HBX27 Yeah but the Filipinos don't have a history of having advanced civilizations. Name one?

  • i guess you never heard of genetic mutation. Olmecs were not black buddy get your head out of your ass...

  • Bering Strait

    ever heard of it

  • I am a chinese, I have to admit that Olmecs were from chinese culture, their writings, scupture styles and technologies all are similiart with chinese counterparts. Althought the technologies were from china, but blacks were among the olmecs, 300 blacks skeletons were found in a 3500 year old graves in northern China. Our government denies access to those strange remains. Black people was a part of chinese civilization.

  • Your all fighting for nothing. Which is the Eurocentric design. The Ancient peoples of America, Africa, Upper/lower Asia etc knew something fantastic that Western Europeans weren't a part of! "Negroid/Mongoloid/Caucasiod" are all psuedo terms. There's no validation to them other than to create pointless divisions. There's a universal train of thought within the ancient cultures. There's a global connection of ideas in terms of science architecture, symbolism and spirituality. It's cool shit!

  • it wouldn't fucking matter if early olmecs if the olmecs were black, chinese, pygmy, or what-the-fuck-ever, they're all humans. and what if this theory is true? why did the olmecs build statues with bearded men, when genetically indo-americans couldn't grow facial hair? would be a shame if a discover like this was ignored because of "offense."

  • Mesoamericans did have some facial hair & also much like the Inuit in the upper northern parts of north america unlike the Native Americans that didnt

  • i've taken college courses solely on the topic of pre-columbian mesoamericans, and there representations of curly bearded men, which look nothing like the stingy beards they MIGHT have been able to grow is regarded as a mystery. and it's not just that, there are an entire slew of mysterious out of place artifacts. look it up yourself. everyone should.

  • @littledropofcum mesoamericans, mayans, olmec, ancient egypt and mesopotamia all built ziggurat or pyramids and all use the same type of wring called hiergohpyhs and they all speak the same language. Its because of the ancient astronauts called the Annunakis who came form planet which originated from the orion contaslation they engineer the homospaien as a slave race.

  • @littledropofcum Olmec weren't human they were a group of extra terrestrials brought by the annunakis after the humans laves got mad and rebel so they got wiped out. Annunakis ruled egypt and sumer both have pyramids Ziggurats. The azlue towns in olmec look like ancient egypt pharaohs so annunakis brought slaves from egypt to built pyramids and mayans but they rebel so enlil killed them all. Zitchin warn us!

  • @xCuetlachtlix I am aware. These Afro-centrists nutjobs have failed to provide evidence of their claims.

  • Evidence supports the African origin & perpetuation of an Olmec civilization in Mesoamerica from 1200 BC. The ones I will point out are the "African" scripts found during archaeological excavation, the presence of "African skeletal" & materials excavated from Olmec graves. Unfortunately, this vid does not show the scripts & materials. The writing system used by Olmec, which was later adopted by the Mayans, was first used by the Mande speaking people in "North Africa" It is called Libyco-Berber.

  • @ScarBro2006 thats not true...where is your evedience?? have you ever been to mexico?? have you ever study the mexican history?? your evidence is just youtube videos that crazy people create with out any real evidence or studies. the olmecs were one of the first nomads tribe that came from the north to seattle in mexico. even today there is alot of tribes all over mexico that are decendant of those first nomads that came and they still speak their own lenguage and they dont look african.

  • @xCuetlachtlix

    Although your post is 2 years old, I felt the need to address it anyway. You stated that; “You don’t blame the whole world for hating on people that don’t have respect for other cultures ", Well sir, I do believe that psychiatrists call your behavior, projection, meaning that what wrong you have done, you place that act on to someone else! White have long been removing people from what is rightfully theirs culture!

  • get out here fuck blacks and whites,i'm olmec decendents from central america,we're mongloid race not negroid. what, is an african talking about my culture,they don't know mexico and central america,

  • some of us has had many different bodies on this planet. i have been in many different bodies. south america, africa, asia, india.......i was long long time ago catman from space, depicted in olmec temple on wall, hailed as a God, purr

  • olmecs were not part of GUATEMALA

    moron

    and why should they get out they have the right to see as anyone else

  • actually there have been olmec remnants found on Guatemalas southern coast.....

  • @xxchapin3 good that's telling them.

  • @xxchapin3 they done fuck so many of them so called native women that y all blood line is messed up just like black people you aint no olmec them dudes were and are black.

  • @xxchapin3 really?! you are a decendant of Olmec? or do you mean Mayan? cool if you are. Maybe you should get your DNA tested, to better our understanding of your heritage.

  • @xxchapin3 i in a way agree with you because a majority of the arguments put forth are cosmetic, based on how sculpture look. but yet again i feel alot of humanities may be more interconnected than scholars officially acknowledge.

  • big lips to the olmecs meas two snakes face to face

  • africans were not olmec just because found these head statues with wide noses and big lips means there were african the asians also have wide noses and big lips the only ones that know the history are the main indigenous people there are african in mexico u.s. central america south america cause of the white conquistadors that landed they had african slaves the only ones to believe this will be the blacks no one else will accept it or believe many archaeologist have made mistakes

  • africans were not olmecs yet olmecs had the same langunge as africans from west africa? ok buddy.

  • Comment removed

  • well as far as olmecs not having mayan features the olmecs pre dated the mayans by thousands of years. the mayans are asains mixed with the olmecs. both oreintals from asia and africans from egypt traveled to the new world before anyone in history.

  • Isn't it funny how Afro-centrists point out the "black" looking heads but disregard the various other Olmec artifacts clearly depicting non-African features?

  • All this shows is that there were two distinctly different looking people existing on the land at the same time. None of those big old heads have Mayan features. Why does it anger people to know that these Africans traveled here? I mean I don't agree that the Olmecs gave Mayans their culture by any means. But this just proves that there was definite interaction with these African looking people and the Natives of this land.

  • Maybe the Mayans made those big heads because they were glad that the Olmecs showed them something new and different. This dissention being caused by this debate is ridiculous. AFROCENTRIC PEOPLE Just because the OLMECS came from Africa doesn't lessen Mayan culture one bit and it doesn't mean that the Olmecs gave the Mayans their culture. PEOPLE PLEASE STOP THIS STUPID DEBATE!!!

  • There are a lot more than just black and white people on this land you dumb fuck. And we're all gonna be here until this country falls. Deal with it. And fuck you too.

  • Comment removed

  • No we don't. And it's not an "idea". It's common knowledge. Every great nation falls. And every race that resides in this one will remain here until this one passes away. You can think that's a fucked up "idea" all you want but that's just the way it is.

  • The only thing you know about Africa are the handful of most South African Nations that are publicized. There are just as many African Nations with stable governments as there are with dictatorships. And last I heard the Chinese dictatorship were killing their citizens and abducting them for practicing a peaceful religion. It's kind of hard to get the claws of Westerners out of African resources and people do what they can. So shut the fuck up because I can tell you don't know much about Africa.

  • Just because all eyes are always on the problems of Africa doesn't mean that other places in the world don't have people that are just as fucked up, as evidence by all of the white homeless ex home owners here in America due to their white government. Also I don't know where Africa came into the equation in the first place. Obviously it makes you feel superior to place all Africans into one boat, which is typical. You're a sheep.

  • It would be kind of stupid for white people in this country to do that since black people don't hold much real power in this country and it is well know that as a whole powerful white people are responsible for these ills. Dumb fuck. Also yes the government knew that the levees were going to break eventually and even though it was brought to their attention they did nothing to fix it. They also left many people for days without water or food. So Kanye was right yet Bush cares for no one.

  • There's also slavery in China ie. the trafficking of young girls and boys as sex slaves. So your point is flawed. People do what they can for money and at times for their very survival. It doesn't make it right but the world is fucked up. As by evidence of your mind, for you to broad stroke all black people by asserting that we all blame whitey for all of our problems. You're a dumb ass. And you also only know what you've heard about the slave trade with out doing any study. Go screw your dog.

  • Africans did not have slavery as people such as your self love to claim. They had a system of Feudalism just like most other places in the world at that time. Some empires such as Benin conquered others and absorbed them into their society the conquered were mostly farmers so that's who they became in the society. But these "slaves" as you and everyone else call them had rights and they could move up in society. What Europeans did was provide these farmers and soldiers from empires with guns.

  • Europeans would only accept humans in exchange for guns so empires exchanged their lowest ranking citizens the farmers. Empires like Benin also gave away their enemies who tried to fight against them. But foreigners would also gain the upper hand at times and capture their people. Europe interacted with Africa long before slavery. There are paintings to prove it. They just waited for civil war so that they could manipulate the circumstances. Chattel slavery was nothing like feudalism.

  • No one had any idea what Europeans had in store for Africans. Except the Europeans. If you do the research you will find that this form of "slavery" i.e feudalism was implemented everywhere in the world. But unlike in European society in Africa farmers could move up from their status and they had rights. When kings and chiefs finally realized what was going on they tried to fight the Europeans also. But by that time most of the soldiers were gone. And I don't have a dog I can't stand them.

  • The soul purpose for the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade was to depopulate Africa enough so that it would be easy to get the riches and also for the obvious benefit of having a slave. But these African people did not know what monsters they were dealing with. They didn't know that these people killed 97% of a population before the excessive exchange of slaves. This is my last comment. You're a cruel person and I refuse to exchange comments with you any longer. You obviously don't believe in Karma.
