[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] Sadly many Blacks have an inferiority complex when it comes to history.It is a myth that you can not measure African civilization to Asian and European civilizations because CIVILIZATION was taken to Asia and Europe by Africans. That is obvious in the earlier post on writing and the chariot. The absence of navigable rivers in Africa is a recent phenomena, that is why we find engravings of boats throughout the Sahara dating to periods before the Sahara became a desert.

As early as 12kya Africans already had canoes. [IMG]http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~sfb268/c7/Dufuna.jpg[/IMG] It was African people who spread boating and boat technology around the world, not Europeans. In ancient times a wonderful civilization existed in the Highland regions of Middle Africa. In this wonderful civilization 6000 years ago lived the ancestors of the Dravidians, Black Africans, Elamites and the Sumerians. Today we call this Proto-Saharan civilization the "Fertile African Crescent", because the highland regions in which the Proto-Saharans l lived formed a crescent shape across the Saharan region of middle Africa. The ancestors of the Dravidians, Manding and Sumerians were organized into a federal system during the neolithic subpluvial. These early Proto- Saharans made adequate uses of local game and plant life and they established permanent and seasonal settlements around well stocked fishing holes. They lived on plains, punctuated by mountains and numerous points of inundation due to the frequency of rain in the ancient Sahara. The Proto-Saharans were great sailors. They used celestial navigation to make long voyages. The Proto-Saharans also used boats called PS *kalam. As a result, we find numerous engravings of boats throughout the Sahara.
