Barbados (Ichirouganaim-Arawakans)

It is felt that the name the Caribs call Barbados, Ichirouganaim, suggests an African mixture in pre-Columbian Barbados.
The name of the linguist mentioned in the video is Dr. Allsopp. The two groups of Amerindians are the Caribs, which I might have pronounced, Aribs, and the Arawakans.
The names of the islands I had difficulty prounouncing that were compaired to Ichirouganaim are:
Barbuda:Wahomoni. St.Kitts:Liamuiga. Antigua:Waladli. Nevis:Walie. Monsterrat:Alliwagana. Gaudeloupe:Couchahahalalwa. Dominica:Waitukubuli. Martinique:Wanacaera. St.Lucia:Iwanalao. St.Vincent:Iouloumain: Grenada:Camaogne. The Amerindians just written seem to be Carib.It was not clear from the script. But since the Arawakan word for Martinique is Madaninna, I think, those names previously mentioned could be Carib.

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.

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.

[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]

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

[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.

[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 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.
