Barbados (Ichirouganaim-Arawakans)

[journeysolo]

Recently a young girl roared across the the Atlantic to Guyana from Africa.

Allsop is using the definition of Barbados which means bearded. No evidence that Ichirouganaim has to do anything with hair.

[journeysolo]

The article that that was done in the Advocate suggested that the word Ichirouganaim meant hairy and broad noses. I have a copy of the article. Dr. Allsop was not satisfied with the way article was done however.

Also there is baobab tree in Barbados that is about a1000 years old. A biologist at Cave Hill UWI suggests that the seed of the baobab could not have survived floating across the Atlantic.

[Salsassin]

Based on what? Trees are usually aged by tree rings, something the baobab lacks. Furthermore there is documentation of people bringing the baobab over. Why would they write records of bringing baobabs over if they were already here?

[journeysolo]

The age of the Baobab in Barbados could have been done by radio carbon testing. I do not know of that expertise but two sources of readings suggest it is that old. Perhaps an estimate of age can be done by size comaparsion. Some Baobabs, native to Africa, have been estimated at tousand of years old. The Baobab in Barbados is the only one of that size. Since it sould not survive the float in the Atlantic, though it is in ancient river bed, some say it was brought pre-Columbian.

Correction: Some Baobabs, native to Africa, have been estimated at THOUSAND of years old.

[Salsassin]

Well, find out how they dated it. Also find out the size of the biggest baobab in the Americas. If they are as big, and there is no history of them being found there, then they grew in historical times. Now if records show these trees were being found willy nilly, then they were already here.

[journeysolo]

About 60, 000 years ago, it is said some Africans left Africa and ended up in Auustralia. What is so big a deal if some West Africans left West Africa 1200 years ago and ended up in Barbados?

[Salsassin]

No big deal, if it had happened. But no evidence that they did.

[journeysolo]

I refer you to: "They Came Before Columbus'' Ivan van Sertima.

[Salsassin]

Already read it as well as the evidence that debunked him.

[journeysolo]

I will try to redo the video if others complain. I am sorry.

[ChicoPeligroso]

this video sucks... I can hear what the man is saying because the music is so loud. its kinda taking away from the lesson.

[journeysolo]

I spelt them the way the article appeared in the Barbados Nation.Thank you.

[jensonm]

the thing about it is that some islands had two names documented, a kalinago name and a taino / igneri name. The leeward islands were mostly correct, only u spelt them differently to the popular spelling (though the pronunciation is the same, eg. Wa'omoni for Barbuda instead of Wahomoni.) For the windwards you used the Arawak names rather than the popularly used Kalinago names on those islands for some. For example Hairoun-St. Vincent, Hewanorra-St. Lucia and Madinina-Martinique.check wikipedia

[jensonm]

some of those island indigenous names are.....wrong.....

[journeysolo]

Could you tell me which ones? The doctor was not please with the article done in the Barbados Nation.

[journeysolo]

I will write the names of the island later. That is names that were compared to Ichirouganaim.
