[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [IMG]http://www.suppressedhistories.net/Gallery/northafrica/wcharioteer_acacus.jpg[/IMG] The fact that the chariots found in West Africa resemble those of Crete does not mean that the riders of these chariots had to have come from Crete. In fact Greek traditions make it clear that the ancient Cretans, called Minoans came from Africa [IMG]http://www.the153club.org/charriot.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_v4u38bXMfLY/TK5j_B7lupI/AAAAAAAAAAU/wLQznywMOAM/s200/thumbnailCAHHZBT1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/214/456438599_0ad557609a_s.jpg[/IMG] The Dravidian and African languages share similar names for the wheel. For example: Galla makurakura Tulu gali, tagori Swahili guru, dumu Mande koli, kori, muru-fe Tamil kal, ari, urul , tikiri Ka. gali tiguri, tigari It would appear that the proto-African-Dravidian term for wheel was *-ori / *-uri *go/uri and *ko/uri. The proto-South Dravidian term for wheel *tigu/ori . The linguistic evidence suggest that in the proto- language the speakers of proto-African-Dravidian used either the vowels o/u or a/i after the consonants. It is also evident that the l and r, were interchangeable in the construction of the term for wheel. It is clear that African people employed chariots in aadition to boats to travel long distances in many parts of Africa. [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/205pk74.jpg[/IMG] . [/QB][/QUOTE]
