[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [b] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [B]Rasoul,many modern African archaeologist have overturned centuries of Eurocentric infringement upon legitmate African civlization. [/QUOTE] Of course, to do so means challenging the boundaries placed upon African civilization. You seem to be implying that it is illigitimate to theorize on possible contact between Africa and North America because that is outside what you consider the acceptable boundary of African history? That is another way of constricting African history. [QUOTE]Nobody honestly sees Swahili states nor Timbuktu as Arab colonies.[/QUOTE] I don't know. Some say you can make a better argument for Islamic African civilizations being Arabic/Semitic/Meditteranian than you can for Ancient Kemet. While others say that virtually all arguments to the effect that Timbuktu, Swahili or Kemet are anything other than Black African, are equally disingenuous and tactically identical. [QUOTE] Recent archaeological findings also refute the notion that iron metalurgy flowed from Meroe or Carthage to Western Africa. Please keep up to date on recent archaeological findings. [/QUOTE] lol. I know that. Recent archeological findings also demonstrate that early and predyanastic Kemetian populations were Black Africans who migrated from the South to the North, and from Kush to Kemet. But that does not stop so called "historians" from continuing to falsify the record. [QUOTE]Our time should be more focused on these claims[/QUOTE] ??? Which claims. The ones you say have already been disproven? [QUOTE]instead of trying to impose ourselves upon other minority groups historical claims that have also been minimized by Eurocentrics.[/QUOTE] Why do you think the idea that early Africans and early Americans had contact with each other, is an "imposition". More to the point, either Africans had contact with Meso-Americans or not. You are not arguing that they did or did not, as a fact of history. You are offering an ideological objection, that is every bit as bad as Eurocentric historians who ideologically object to the notion of the Kemmau being Black, and the country being African. [QUOTE]I do believe African and Meso-American contact is pluasible but not from Egypt or Nubia. The most plausible claim I have heard come from Medevil Mali from a person named Abu Bakari II that is well documented by a Syrian historian named Al-Omari from Cairo.[/QUOTE] Perhaps that is the case, or perhaps not. But we can't learn the truth by refusing to examine the facts because we are politically opposed to what we might find out. DENIAL, is not a form of science.[/b][/QUOTE] Wow, you've hit the nail on the head! [/QB][/QUOTE]
