It's funny how people only focus on certain aspects of history without knowing anything about it.

The Sibyls (African - Oracles) were healing the sick, raising them from the 'dead' 100's of years before Christ was born.

Rest well with the ancestor, Van Sertima.

You have shed much light to eradicate the deliberate darkness that was created by evil creatures.

I believe the Africans came and set the gold for traded goods at the edge of the desert because they did not want the Arab traders to know where they were getting the gold from. They did not want the people they were trading with to invade their territory and take what they had. I think that was very sage thinking considering what happened later!

[filmtress]

Yep, It seems we were collectively zero'd in on and got 'caught the the trappers net'. Wow, how long before our influence change them before they better themselves? Cause I'm tired of them.

The reason there is little jungle in Africa compared with its land mass is because of the Saharan desert that covers half the continent. I wonder why he doesn't mention that plain fact. Places closer to the equator have large amounts of Jungle, and very elaborate ecosystems full of biodiversity. This is good thing, not a bad thing!!

[filmtress]

He's from a generation that his wht rivals claimed & supported 'Darwinism' making outlandish statements that blks were of the primate (monkeys, gorillas, etc) strand. So men of his circle didn't promote the 'jungle' theory simply because he didn't promote that theory. You're right, the jungle IS a good thing but then it was used to prove the tarzan theory. (That the white man bringeth civilization) when in fact he retarded it. Remember, whites hadn't recognized the need for rain forests then.
