Extractions: However, the stone images were not the depiction of Siberians or Mongoloids. The archeologists are not in agreement with the identity of these inhabitants, or more correctly have denied indisputable truth of their origin. However, since the mysterious unearthing of this ancient civilization, one name has surfaced from later transcriptions, the name was Olmec. Who were these people called Olmecs? Can we speculate that these people of the colossal heads were Asians who crossed the Bearing Strait or Siberian icemen who migrated from Europe? Jose Maria Y Serrano upon excavating one of the monolith heads in this region of San Andres Tuxtla, published a short passage in the bulletin of the Mexican Geographical Statistical Society: In 1939, Dr. Matthew Sterling led a joint team from the National Geographic Society into the Gulf of Mexico to spearhead a major digging operation in Vera Cruz to unearth the monolith heads. Sterling concluded: "The features are bold and amazingly Negroid in character." The archeological and cultural data overwhelmingly confirms the depiction of Negroid faces. Further archeological evidence of the Negroid in ancient America is found in the Monte' Alban culture which seems to have begun at the end of the Olmec culture. In Monte' Alban, 140 Negroid type figures have been discovered. Upon archeological research, there is no logical denying of the 'negroidness' found in the art of ancient America. Although there has been denial amongst historians, archeologist have indeed confirmed at least four major facts:

Extractions: var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "tripod.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Gross geography often has nothing to do with cultural lines. That is, the fact that Africa can be easily delimited as a continent by the Suez canal does not mean that it does not consist of several cultural or even racial zones at different epochs. Especially, up until about 600 CE Northern Africa was racially as well as culturally distinct from Sub-Saharan (black) Africa. While there was a Nubian conquest of Egypt, it was fairly short lived, temporarily replaced but did not breed out the uppermost classes, and the Egyptians remained a Semitic rather than Negroid people. Remarks about "Cleopatra being black" are simply silly, since she wasn't even Egyptian, but Macedonian Greek of an inbred royal line, with a narrow, prominently bridged nose. The Tuaregs still show the strongly Europid background of the Libyans and Numidians, who absorbed the Vandals as well. This is primarily a bibliography for Sub-Saharan Africa, which had often more contact with Arabia or India than with its own northern shore. While it will include the Tuareg and the Meroitic Empire, you will have to go to other bibliographies for the earlier peoples of North Africa. Search for Books at

From The Dogons And The Zulus: Two Impossible Stories The dogon Story. The dogons are an indigenous tribe in africa. by these same ET s, but also to illustrate that sometimes indigenous people possess information http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/jan1/dogons.htm
Extractions: ''Aliens from Sirius Visit African Tribes!'' It sounds like a headline from a supermarket tabloid. But the cave drawings and objects that might support such a story actually exist. I have seen them both in real life and in special documentaries. And although the story of the Dogons may be found elsewhere (we'll give you a link later on), and found in detail in books like The Sirius Mystery by Robert Temple, it is usually not known that another tribe in Africa besides the Dogon holds an almost identical experience in their origin stories: the Zulu. And naturally it is how they say they received this secret knowledge that is challenged, yet it is what this knowledge actually is that makes their stories believable. The Dogon Story The Dogons are an indigenous tribe in Africa. About 100,000 strong, they hold knowledge that they could not possibly have received by today's understanding, for it implies, among other things, the use of giant, powerful telescopes and the mathematical concepts of modern astronomy. And yet it is so. And the story of how they came by this knowledge is equally unbelievable by today's standards, for the Dogons claim that it came from amphibious beings who arrived long ago in a spaceship. We present this not only to bring you the new information I mentioned, which is that another tribe, the Zulu, also claim to have been visited by these same ET's, but also to illustrate that sometimes indigenous people possess information that goes beyond our concepts of what they could possibly know. There have been many theories as to how the Dogons came by this information, but they are all inadequate. The Dogons themselves claim that they have had this knowledge for at least seven hundred years and if that's true it defies everything we think we know about both human and alien presence on Earth.

Extractions: Stolen Women: Reclaiming Our Sexuality, Taking Back Our Lives is an excellent book by Dr. Gail Elizabeth Wyatt. Read it today. It expertly examines Black female sexuality. It is afrocentric and candid. It is written so that it may be as valuable to a teenager as it is to the mother of a teenager. Every sister and every person who loves a sister should read this book. It is because I love this book so that I am so deeply wounded by the following quote taken from it: [In Africa] There were sexual practices that were not condoned, such as adultery, rape, incest or homosexual relationships. No true scholar would ever make any blanket statements about any cultural practices in Africa. Africa is a HUGE continent with HUNDREDS of tribes. Each tribe has diverse traditions and practices. It is true that some African tribes do not condone homosexuality. It is equally

The book is vibrant with affection for its subject, measured in its judgments, and it is hard to imagine a more lucid and balanced synthesis of the many disciplines that have cast light on the obscurities of the African past and the complexities of its present.

Extractions: Indigenous modes of education here refer to the native, locally developed forms of bringing up the youngsters by the older and more experienced members of the society. Being native is by no means to deny the fact that indigenous learning goals, contents, structures and methods have not been enriched, or for that matter, polluted or both by outside influences. As far as West Africa and Mauritania in particular are concerned, the deepest foreign impacts on indigenous education were caused by the massive Arab intrusion into the area as part of the 8th century Islamic conquest (Klarke, 1982). Second in importance was the European colonial conquest of the 19th century and its subsequent social, cultural, political and economic legacy (Egudu, 1977). Although not often mentioned, African traditional learning forms have had their own imprints on both Islamic and Western education on the continent. Neither of the two systems has escaped gradual Africanization. The Marabou is increasingly playing the role of thetraditional Medicine Man or spirit medium (
