Columbus Dramatic Exchange
Sooner
or later some human beings from anywhere in the world were obliged to come to
the Americas and they were bound to bring with them the epidemics the whole
world, except the Americas, had gone through and learned how to be immune to.
It was Christopher Columbus from the Iberic Peninsula, but it could have been
any Smith Smith from England, Braun Braun from Germany, Dupont Dupond from
France or Belgium, Minh Minh Minh from Vietnam, or Xi Deng Mao from China.
There was no escape, no way to avoid it, no cure, and no solution, not even the
slightest alleviating procedure or solace. The health tsunami genocide was
bound to happen. But what were the Americas before that instant catastrophe
Christopher Columbus brought along in his ships?

"BLACK AFRICA’S
HISTORY
This book was salvational in many
ways at the time of its publication. It asserted the historical participation
of Black Africa as far back as the birth of the Egyptian civilization. It
insists on the leading role it played in some periods and it tries to find out
in what periods there existed contact between Black Africa and the Americas.
We cannot of course reproach the author with what he could not know in 1976. He
could not know Gobekli Tepe, the surrounding settlements, the Natufian
villages, etc., all going back to 12,000 years BC which is more than 6,000 or
7,000 years before the Egyptian civilization and 9,000 before the invention of
the first known writing system in the Middle East, the Sumerian writing system
too often identified as the Akkadian cuneiform writing system because the
scribes were Akkadian speaking a Semitic language though the language was
Sumerian, a synthetic-analytical language, probably post-agglutinative.
Something like 100,000 years part in linguistic phylogeny."

Info: The book is old in
the field it is considering. The last twenty years have completely transformed
our vision of what happened in the world after the end of the Ice Age, or even
after the small icy episode between 10,800 and 9,600 BC.
