  • @itsanillusion100 i have those feautures .. i dont think they were negro or sub saharan but they were dark skinned

  • Can someone tell me the beat to the beginning? Is it a song? It sounds wonderful!! Please help!

  • @itsanillusion100 They look like many from Polynesia, South Asia, Samoa, etc. etc. No, they don't look like the Mayans or Indians of N. America ….but those noses are NOT peculiar to Africans. Even East Africans do not share them. Only when viewed from the front do the Olmec heads resembles Bantu features. Those stones were probably carved with sound technology, not primitive chipping …ANYWAY, watch "The Face of a Totzil Does Not Lie" on here …it is what totally convinced me.

  • @MooPotPie I think one of the main points is that they DON'T appear to be 'Red' Indian, unless the Olmecs' un-refined stone-tool "chipping" simply knocked-out the wrong nose shape by mistake. So, the Olmecs are actually the 'indigenous' Americans, right? The 2nd point being that the DNA won't be found unless modern science actually allows someone for it!

  • @itsanillusion100 Not all so-called Afrocentrists are black people. Most of the scientists on the "Olmecs were Africans" side of this debate are white to my knowledge. And NO ONE is claiming the Olmecs were white. That is ludicrous. The only thing that white-supremacists have to do with this is that they gave us these stupid racial classifications to begin with centuries ago. Those big stone heads must be laughing at us all.

  • @itsanillusion100 I see the full lips and broad noses, but they are typical of the Amerinds that still live in the region. The facial and skull shapes are quite non-negroid. That said, "race" cannot be determined based on superficial observations of stone carvings, for heaven's sake. Only DNA testing can determine that and I have yet to see any confirmed results of such testing. Once such results are confirmed and published let the chips fall where they may. If African, so be it.

  • 'ANYONE who accuses anyone else of being an 'Afrocentrist' is clearly a white supremist or an 'Aryanopath'. The features that the Olmecs represented in their sculptures are clearly of black people. Is it SO difficult to imagine an ancient world where the majority has black skin? The Olmec's sculptures are over 2m tall and weigh 20 tons, if you can't see negro features in them now then give up!!

  • @wallace43020 Recent to videos on my page rip apart the Afrocentric claims just by visuals alone. Check it out, you will be amazed.

  • @RAINONYOURPARADE100 ; You say, "The Negritos influenced Mongoloid ancestry greatly that comes directly from anthropologists." Only Afrocentrics and White Conspiracy Theorists say that, NOT credible anthropologists. You just spouted a lie.

  • The Negritos influenced Mongoloid ancestry greatly that comes directly from anthropologists. They were black people. I'm not going to even go into how Hispanics have gotten African ancestry through the Moors and through slavery. What I call a double dose. While I don't think the Olmecs were a pure black race, obviously African interjected into the culture. But the truth is most cultures aren't pure. God always has a way of showing us things and one day nothing will be able to be denied.
