explorer6, I posted those Sertima book covers only as a friendly jab at Omar (Pinguin) who's also my friend on PM.
Anybody watch the Sertima lecture I posted? Had it playing while doing some stuff; interesting to get his full story.
Most of what he says makes some sense, but it's all focused around very circumstantial evidence.

Another example - the Greek woman's skin is white but the Greek men's skin all black, therefore these men where black!
Sertima needs more conclusive evidence.

Great!!!
I knew there was something more in common between Greeks and Mayans, besides intelligence.

Look. All moais have thin lips, long faces and pointing noses. Apllying Van Sertima's "scientific reasoning" , that prove Polynesians where all British fellows
Do this experiment: buy a large granite rock in a garage sale and try to make a statue with very sharp facial features, just using hand tools. Just try it. Perhaps you'll get convinced of many things. For example, than in granite people try as much as possible to save work, and flat noses and lips result
Please, forget about Van Sertima and study the issues seriously. Well, in case you want to be taken seriously, of course.

Why do you say Europeans first made claims.....you bring the Greeks down with you. We never claimed anything we just left our culture behind in Mesoamerica.

Who is "we"?
If "Europeans", I'll tell you they were very coward to attempt to cross the Atlantic, although they could manage it.
If "West Africans", then is pathetic. West Africans of the time didn't have writing, didn't know the wheel, didn't know how to make textiles, didn't produce massive stone structures, etc. But even worst, they didn't know the sail. The most advanced ships they had were river canoes. So, common, be serious.
So I will say loud and clear one more time:
NATIVE AMERICANS DIDN'T NEED TEACHERS.
Do you get it? Don't you? Well, I repeat it once again?
NATIVE AMERICANS DIDN'T NEED TEACHERS
If you still don't get it, please repeat the above phrase one thousand time more.

Omar, I know what you mean, but just to pester you, this is from another thread:

Spaniards, after all, brough a real technological revolution to the Americas with the comming of the horse, cows (milk, chesses), wheet, rice, paper, alphabet writing, iron and the technologies of theirs times. |

Looks like they needed some 'teaching' |
Not really. Look at the others:
Greeks just copied Egyptians and Babilonians
Roman copied Greeks
Indians copied Greeks
Chineses copied Indians and Arabs
Westerners copied Arabs and Chineses
Subsaharians copied Afroasiatic peoples.
Native Americans developed all what they had by THEMSELVES. And if you add all what they did is pretty much, though.
For instance, they developed hydraulic toys before Heron of Alexandria!!!
Yes, they didn't have machinery, the alphabet or iron, but developed by themselves paper, the zero and rubber balls. And they selected half the food the world consumes today!
When the unwelcomed teacher finally arrived (the Spaniards), Natives could put most of theirs history on writing (except from classical Mayans who wrote it themselves), and got all the tech they need it. However, they lost the most important thing the Americas had: Its Originality.

Dear friend, what is the contradiction? What make you laugh?
Yes, in the old world was PRETTY EASY to develop advance civilizations COPYING from the neighbours. In the New World everything was done from scrath.
Greek originality? Ha Ha
Let's continue:
Gaul, Norse and Celtic brutes advanced because of the Romans!
Japaneses because of Chineses
Russians because Byzantines
etc.
The only isolated territories in the world were the Americas, Australia and SOME parts of Subsaharan Africa and the Americas did pretty well and a lot better than those.
Think about it, what could have been Greece without Babilonian astronomy, Egyptian science and the Hebrew Alphabet? Do you want an answer?

I said nothing about what you're writing so much about. I mentioned only this:

That's not entirely fair. You lump all native americans together but divide old world civilizations in separate cultures. If you say Greeks learned from Romans and Japanese from Chinese, you should also say that Aztecs learned from Toltecs, and Mayas from Olmecs.
