[QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Brada-Anansi: [qb] Osirion I will post this again in case you missed it or skimmed over it. Columbus according to Columbus's own writings, Some of these Africans must have made it to the Americas, because there were sightings that indicated their presence in the New World. Columbus himself reported that the American Indians of Hispaniola had told him that "there had come to Hispaniola people who have the tops of their spears made of a metal which they call quanin, of which he had sent samples to the Sovereigns to have them assayed, [b]when it was found that of 32 parts, 18 were gold, six of silver and eight of copper." These samples were sent back to Spain on a mail boat, and the proportion was found to be identical to what was being forged in African Guinea[/b] Osirion [QUOTE] [b]Interestingly the Black person depicted in this picture seems to have a copper head spear? But I found the beard to be the most tell tale sign of West African contact with these Mesoamericans pre-Columbus.[/b] [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]This is not accurate. This quote is probably taken from Van Sertima who used as 1904 English translation by Thatcher of a report by De las Casas (not Columbus himself) instead of a more accurate one by Morison in 1963. In any case, neither Columbus, de las Casas, nor Thatcher wrote [QUOTE]These samples were sent back to Spain on a mail boat, and the proportion was found to be identical to what was being forged in African Guinea[/QUOTE]. This phrase was added by Van Sertima. Second, [b]guanin[/b] is an Arawak word NOT an African word. Third, gold, copper, silver alloys, in a variety of proportions, had ben made in South America for over a thousand years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
