David Imhotep - The First Americans Were Africans: Revisited

ENDORSEMENTS

Dr. David Imhotep brings us the evidence that shows that Africans peopled the American continents before any other people. There are bound to be many people who will follow the lead of this pioneering scholar Dr. Imhotep. He puts into context much of the information that has been gathered over the years and makes it accessible to the ordinary reader, as well as to the scholarly reader. Imhoteps intent with this book is to burst onto the scene with a follow-up to the best of the works by Diop. Imhoteps work must be considered in the forefront of our new awareness of the great depth of African contributions to the world of science, art, and human beginnings on this very continent.

Dr. David Imhotep presents keen insight into the ancient history of America. You will discover the long antiquity of African people in the New World, and how they contributed to the rise of civilization in the West: the archaeological, linguistic and genetic evidence supports Dr. Imhoteps thesis of a pre-Columbus, African presence in America. It shows that David has opened a new path of scholarship relating to the peopling of the New World that is long overdue. Finally, we must conclude that multiple sources of evidence substantiate Dr. Imhoteps thesis that the first anatomically modern humans in the Americas may have come from Africa.

Imhoteps collection the maps, photos, drawings an reports comparing the construction by Ohio Valley mound builders and New Mexican Pueblo cliff-dwellers to the Mandingo of Mali are thought-provoking. So are references drawn from Mexican Olmec legends of dark-skinned peoples arriving in bark-skin boats out of the sunrise. Imhoteps collection of evidence is not limited to comparing ruins. He delves into DNA links between peoples of Africa and the Americas, and examines everything from pottery to plants to help prove his theory.

Are these and other points Imhotep makes enough to prove that Africans, and perhaps even Egyptians, explored, settled and traded across the South Atlantic? Whether he is right or wrong in his interpretation of the evidence, is not the issue, he presents a strong enough case to make the reader think it is packed with far too much evidence for the reader to ignore.

Queen, such as Stargate, The Mummy, 10,000 BC and Scorpion King, are fairy tales that paint negative and inaccurate pictures of ancient Nile Valley history and their people. The same is true of most of the movies of the American Wild West, where Native Americans are portrayed negatively. Despite all the evidence available, there are no accurate portrayals of the First Americans beyond depictions of slavery. The First Americans Were Africans paints a realistic picture of what actually took place during ancient times in the Western Hemisphere.

This is the first installment of the Lifting the Veil Series of books with hopes that it will bring people together, rather than cause division. The First Americans Were Africans is dedicated to all souls searching for truth.

Did Africans Discover America? Yes, Indeed.

D r. David Imhotep presents keen insight into the ancient history of America. In this book, he outlines the lost and stolen history of African people in ancient America. You will discover the long antiquity of African people in the New World and how they contributed to the rise of civilization in the West. Most of us learned that people walked across a land bridge from northeastern Asia to Alaska about 12,000 years ago. Dr. Imhotep systemically destroys the notion that the Clovis culture represents the first American civilization.

Rather than begin his story of the African in America with the slave trade, Dr. Imhotep provides details about the first civilizations in the New World, which were created by Black and African people (Blacks are indirectly from Africa. Africans are directly from Africa). We know that the Beringia passage between Asia and North America was blocked by ice between 110,000-12,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence indicates that anatomically modern humans were living in South America between 30,000-15,000 years ago. We will learn that although the Ice Age was a barrier to mans overland migration to the New World, there were many Blacks here even before the ice melted.

Several peoples of African origin entered the Americas, including the San, Anu, or Negrito type and the Proto-Saharan variety of blacks. Proto means original or first and the Anu were the Pygmy people who, were hunter-gatherers in Africa. Yet, it was they who founded the first civilization of Kush, Nubia and Egypt before the rise of the first Pharaoh, as well as the first civilization in Mesopotamia.

Today, archaeologists have found sites from Argentina to Chile that range in age between 45,000 and 50,000 years old. These sites are Pedra Furada (c.45,000 B.C.) and Serra Da Capivara 50,000 years ago.

Yes, the American continent was inhabited by Asian and African Blacks in very ancient times. However, the oldest skeletal remains found in the Americas are of Blacks on the Eastern areas of the Americas. Marquez observed that, it is [good] to report that long ago the youthful America was also a Negro continent [and,] Lanning noted that there was a possible movement of Negritos from Ecuador into the Piura Valley, North of Chicama and Viru in early times.

As stated above, these sites are Pedra Furada (c.45,000 B.C.) and Serra Da Capivara, 50,000 years ago.

All of these are evidence of human occupation. Charcoal samples from the campsite age the site to 65,000 years ago. The evidence shows the oldest skulls in the Americas do not add to the theory that the first peoples in the Americas entered from Asia in the west but from Africa in the east:
