[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: 1. Nubian, Garamante and Egyptian pyramids are relevant because they show that African people have been creative in pyramid building and at different times in different places Africans built pyramids. 2.I have never said the Olmec came from West Africa. I said they came from the Sahara or the sahel near one of the ancient tributaries of the Niger river. 3. The Mande speaking people had not reached the Niger Valley when the Olmec founded civilization in 1200 BC they were at this time spread from the Fezzan in Libya to Dar Tichitt in Mauretania. [/QUOTE]So you are saying that the Olmecs came from Mande in North Africa, spread from the Fezzan in Libya to Dar Tichitt in Mauretania? [/qb][/QUOTE]Of course there were no Mande in West Africa in 1200BC. The Olmec came from North Africa and the Saharan zone. See: Clyde Winters, Olmec (Mande) Loan Words in the Mayan, Mixe-Zoque and Taino Languages, Current Research Journal of Social Sciences 3(3): 152-179, 2011 http://maxwellsci.com/print/crjss/v3-152-179.pdf People did not begin to settle the Niger Delta until after 300BC . The Garamante were Mande speakers so the Mande had experience building pyramids.
