[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Posted by ausur: [b]Originally posted by ausar: Why do Africans spend so much time trying to find themselves in other people's hsitory instead of appreciating their own.[/b][/QUOTE] I hate being repetitive, but I have to stress that Africans have enough civilizations to be concerned about bolstering their image by claiming other civilizations. That is besides the point! The point is that archeological findings, such as elephant sculptures and scripts with elements similar to the Proto-Saharan script, have been brought to light. I find it weird that people can actually believe Melanesians who are much further away from Americas than Africans, can travel all that distance, overcoming oceans and land mases (Africa and Europe) and finally find their way to America and settle there. The same people who have no hard time making such claims, also never bring up the subject of Melanesians having Olmec head type of sculptures in their Asian homeland. But when it comes to black Africans, somehow all possibilities are thrown out of the window. Africans are much closer to the Americas, only being seperated by water bodies. If Melanesians can travel from as far as Southeast Asia just to get to America, why can't Africans who are much closer to America, be able to do the same? There is no sign of Olmec heads in Melanesia or their Asian homeland, but that question constantly comes up when dealing with Africans, that somehow Olmec heads have to be found in Africa to prove the connection. If the Africans went to another society with different cultures and groups, they are going to adopt some new cultures along side their traditional ones. As such, a "melting pot" of communities of people of different cultures are likely to evolve into new societies. This would explain the unique nature of the Olmec society, and its sculptures! There would still be some signs of African presence through art form, such as the elephant sculptures, and elements of Olmec scripts. [/QB][/QUOTE]
