[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obenga: [QB] "In September 1974, at the 41st Congress of Americanists in Mexico, Dr Andrzej Wiercinski, one of the world’s leading experts on the Americas, announced that African skulls had been found at the Olmec sites in Cero de las Meassa, Monte Alban and Talatilco in Mexico. Prof Alexander von Wuthenau, the German-born art historian, author of Unexplained Faces in Ancient America, and chairman of the Pre-Columbian Art History of the University of the Americas, has also made an impressive collection of pre-Columbian terra cotta sculptures of African chiefs, priests, dancers and drummers. Indeed at one point, after stating his conviction of the trans Atlantic voyage of the Africans, Prof Wuthenau was advised by his colleague, Dr Erwin Palm, thus: “Wuthenau, never say Negro, always say Negroid because then it would mean that the black specimens in pre-Columbian art are derived from Melanesian Negritos and not from African Negroes.” Wuthenau subsequently explained that his colleague meant well and “probably intended to help me maintain my respectability in academic circles; because orthodox scientists are beginning to admit the possibility of Melanesian migration to America but are deadly opposed to that of contacts from Africa across the Atlantic." This is why you always have to be suspicious and form your own opinion. This perception of Black Africans is out and some Professionals will do what they need to to hide what the truth may be: “Wuthenau, never say Negro, always say Negroid because then it would mean that the black specimens in pre-Columbian art are derived from Melanesian Negritos and not from African Negroes.” .......orthodox scientists are beginning to admit the possibility of Melanesian migration to America but are deadly opposed to that of contacts from Africa across the Atlantic." What is this all about? Is this Objective?? To me this is the "anything but Black African" kind of thinking we have observed for theories regarding KMT, Great Zimababwe and Timbuktu to name but a few. I am not claiming the Olmec culture......just that they were there in some capacity obviously as friends not invaders. The collection of evidence is indisputable. Much of the research is not done by Blacks, what reason would Whites have to say that Africans were present here. The Africoid skeletons are not being disputed because they can't be....just ignored or explained away as something other than Black African of course. How much more evidence is needed....the cultural elements point to Africa....not melanasia....u guys can wait for the mexican Gov't to admit that, just like u can wait for the Egyptian Govt' to admit that Ancient KMTians were black. None of those two statements from those Govt's are going to be forthcoming anytime soon....u guys need that kind of Validation go ahead and keep waiting, pack a lunch while u are at it because it's going to be a while.
