Peace all- Lately, i've been reading through Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore, and, on the spiritual front- i've been reading through most of the works of Baha'u'llah and the Bab (check out the provisional translations of the Persian Bayan here: bahai-library.com/), as well as the writings of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, particularly the Barahin-i-Ahmadiyya and Ek Ghalati Ka Izala, which has some fascinating theological gymnastics to get past the orthodox Muslim understanding of the finality of prophethood-those are both at www.aaiil.orgPeace, peeps- |

Peace Tamahu, I read Dhamapada a while back I should probably re-read it. So straight to the heart... I am reading Mencius and the bible right now. I don't have time to read too much as I am constantly reading 4 business text books  |

It is good, well worth buying and reading.
I haven't finished it yet.
It discusses the clear African presence and influence in the Americas. The Olmec Heads, eyewitness and conquistador (the dogs) accounts. The American Pyramids connections in culture, language, spirituality, astrology, astronomy, mathematics etc..
In other words the African civilized (in the terms above) the Americas (tens of) thousands of years before Columbus and Vespucci came.
The author takes the opinion as far as I have read, that the Olmec did not look like the heads they carved, rather It was people who had the appearance of these heads that taught them and by default the cultures that came after , i.e the Toltecs, Aztecs, Maya and Inca.
That these people were Gods, hence the reverence in the carvings and culture.
In my opinion it is irrelevant if the Olmecs actually appeared as the heads they carved. What is relevant is that they did carve the heads, and crafted countless other testaments to the African presence during their time, which predates all other cultures in the Americas.
The Africans had the Americas mapped.
The fact that Columbus was made aware of a route from Guinea that Africans had been taking to the Americas for thousands of years.
He mentions it was Columbus (Templar agent) who instituted race slavery against the wishes of Spanish crown.
He discusses the attempt by the European invaders to destroy, and suppress the evidence of the African presence. In this modern time however with all the excavations etc. it is impossible. He discusses Africoid skeletons, carvings etc. being found from South America to North America.
It is important that we remember before the arrival of the Europeans, the Americas had two people in it, Africans, and Black Asians. Distinctions between the two are unnecessary in my opinion.
The book also has dialog of Columbus himself, and includes information from letters, and records of discussion between him and the Spanish and Portuguese crowns.
I start the chapter entitled "The Mariner Prince Of Mali"
tonight.
Peace
