Here's a medical journal describing our African and Mexican connection! This article linked here will give y'all the ammunition and illumination needed to dispell Euro-centric historians and their theory that the American continents were isolated. There is scientific evidence to the contrary, though still debated and not accepted my most historians and scientists...
* "Inference of Ancient Black Mexican Tribes and DNA" (2015-03-19, by Dr. Clyde Winters) [archive.is/arKrs].
Background: Controversy surrounds the time period when Indigenous Mexican-African admixture occurred. Most researchers assume this admixture took place after the Atlantic Slave Trade. But, Spanish eyewitness accounts, Mayan skeletons with sickle cell anemia, and West African skeletal remains generally,indicate that there were Black Native Mexican and Meso-American communities in Meso-America before 1492. Using genetic association studies of available Indigenous Mexican and African genome-wide SNP genotypes and HLA we infer the probable pre-or post Columbian date for the admixture. Here we analyze the historical and archaeogentic literature relating to the American foundational haplogroups and HLA to extract ancestry information detailing when Indigenous Mexican-African admixture took place.
Results: Indigenous Mexican and African archaeogenetic, DNA and HLA resources were analyzed to determine to what extent admixture had occurred between these populations. The sample indicated that Indigenous Mexican-African admixture has taken place across Mexican fundamental male and female lineages; and that Africans and Indigenous Mexicans share HLA alleles. In addition, archaeogenetic evidence including, African [Mande] inscriptions, Mande substratum in Mayan languages, Africans depicted in Mayan murals at San Bartolo and Xultun, African skeletons generally, and ancient Mayan skeletons with sickle cell anemia support Spanish eyewitness accounts of Black Native American tribes [Otomi, Chontal (Mayan speaking group) ,Yarura and etc.] in Meso-America when they arrived on the scene.
Conclusion: We demonstrate that given the age of the African skeletons, excavated at Meso-American archaeological sites and Spanish eyewitness accounts of Black Mexicans, Indigenous Mexican- African admixture occurred prior to the European discovery of America. The date for the African skeletons indicate that there were several waves of West Africans who probably introduced African haplotypes into the Americas. The 25,000 Malians who sailed to America in 1310 probably had a major influence on the exchange of African genes in the Americas.

All these identities mingled in the mudflats to create a contemporary representation of who the people of the Bay Area were in the 1960’s and 70’s. As the 80’s ushered in a new conservatism characterized by the policies of then President Reagan, the window of creative output on the Emeryville Crescent began to close.

NASA's New Horizons is doing some sightseeing along the way, as the spacecraft speeds toward a New Year's Day 2019 date with an ancient object in the distant region beyond Pluto known as 2014 MU69.
New Horizons recently observed the Kuiper Belt object Quaoar ("Kwa-war"), which - at 690 miles or 1,100 kilometers in diameter - is roughly half the size of Pluto.
This animated sequence shows composite images taken by New Horizons' Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) at four different times over July 13-14: "A" on July 13 at 02:00 Universal Time; "B" on July 13 at 04:08 UT; "C" on July 14 at 00:06 UT; and "D" on July 14 at 02:18 UT. Each composite includes 24 individual LORRI images, providing a total exposure time of 239 seconds and making the faint object easier to see.
New Horizons' location in the Kuiper Belt gives the spacecraft a uniquely oblique view of the small planets like Quaoar orbiting so far from the sun. When these images were taken, Quaoar was approximately 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) from the sun and 1.3 billion miles (2.1 billion kilometers) from New Horizons.
With the oblique view available from New Horizons, LORRI sees only a portion of Quaoar's illuminated surface, which is very different from the nearly fully illuminated view of the KBO from Earth. Comparing Quaoar from the two very different perspectives gives mission scientists a valuable opportunity to study the light-scattering properties of Quaoar's surface.
In addition to many background stars, two far away galaxies - IC 1048 and UGC 09485, each about 370 billion times farther from New Horizons than Quaoar - are also visible in these images.
Unlike the galaxies and stars, Quaoar appears to move across the background scene due to its much closer distance. Other objects which appear to move in these images are camera artifacts.
In June, the New Horizons mission received the go-ahead to fly onward to 2014 MU69 - considered one of the early building blocks of the solar system - with a planned rendezvous of Jan. 1, 2019.

* "Invented Knowledge: False History, Fake Science and Pseudo-religions" (2009 by Ronald H. Fritze) [begin excerpt]:
The discovery of the Americas revived interest in the story of Atlantis with some people speculating that the Native Americans were Atlantean refugees. Others went further and identified North America as Atlantis or a remnant of Atlantis with the Native Americans as the survivors of the cataclysm that devastated the lost continent (Note 58). Beliefs in the Native Americans as Atlantean refugees and in Atlantis as America moved from learned culture to popular culture as advances in science and history discredited the Atlantis myth. Other hypotheses about Indian origins appear in the wake of Columbus' voyages. One of the earliest and most persistent hypothesis claimed that Native Americans were descendants of Carthaginian colonists. Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes first proposed it in 1535, basing his contention on the mistaken belief that Aristotle credited the Carthaginians with the discovery of a great island in the Atlantic Ocean about 590 BC. Oviedo's hypothesis quickly attracted other Spanish supporters such as Alejo Vanegras de Bustos, whose Primera parte de las differencia de libros q ay en el universo (1540) claimed that both Phoenician and Carthaginian settlers were responsible for populating the Americas. Francisco Lopez de Gomara, secretary to Hernan Cortes and chronicler of the early Spanish empire in the Americas, added a new aspect to the Carthaginian hypothesis in his Historia general de las Indias (1552). He suggested that the Carthaginian explorer Hanno discovered the Americas during his explorations down the west coast of Africa around 490 BC (Note 59). The Carthaginian hypothesis proved popular among Spanish writers and was picked tip by writers from other nations. The Portuguese explorer and historian Antonio Galvao in 1555 wrote a history of the exploration of the world that mentioned the Carthaginian settlement of the Americas in 590 bc (Note 60). It was an obvious choice for early modern Europeans to suggest the Carthaginians as the discoverers and settlers of the Americas. They were an intrepid seafaring people and their great city of Carthage was founded in 814 BC by Phoenicians from the city of Tyre, another accomplished seafaring people. Early modern Europeans would have been very familiar with the Carthaginians because of their epic wars with Rome from 264 to 165 BC. At the same time, because detailed knowledge about the Carthaginians was not available, they were also a mysterious people which actually made them more plausible as the ancestors of Native Americans. Other Spanish writers repeated the Carthaginian hypothesis of Oviedo: Vanegras de Bustos and Lopez de Gomara along with that undiscriminating enumerator of theories about pre-Columbian visitors, Gregorio Garcia, whose Origen de los indios del nuevo mundo e Indias occidentales appeared in 1607. [end excerpt]
* "The Atlantic in World History" (2013, by Karen Ordahl Kupperman), review of the book (.pdf) [is.gd/ojCFs4] [begin excerpt]: Was it possible that Atlantis had not actually sunk, but that the ancients had merely lost contact with it? As mariners who ventured westward during the fifteenth century encountered more and more islands in the vast ocean, it seemed reasonable that perhaps Atlantis remained to be rediscovered. The lost continent even appeared on some European maps in this period. Could the American lands that Europe-ans had come to know only at the end of the fifteenth century actually be the site of that vanished culture? Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes, who wrote one of the earliest histories of the Indies, connected the newly discovered lands to Atlantis in the 1530s. The Reverend Richard Hakluyt, who collected travel accounts and was one of the first great promoters of English colonization, wrote that the ancients had had some knowledge of America and referred to "my Western Atlantis or America."' In 1607 a Spanish Dominican priest, Gregorio Garcia, pointed to the many Mexican words containing the letters "ad" in com-bination, particularly in religious language, and argued that this linguis-tic evidence proved a connection to Atlantis.

NASA's New Horizons is doing some sightseeing along the way, as the spacecraft speeds toward a New Year's Day 2019 date with an ancient object in the distant region beyond Pluto known as 2014 MU69.New Horizons recently observed the Kuiper Belt object Quaoar ("Kwa-war"), which - at 690 miles or 1,100 kilometers in diameter - is roughly half the size of Pluto.
This animated sequence shows composite images taken by New Horizons' Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) at four different times over July 13-14: "A" on July 13 at 02:00 Universal Time; "B" on July 13 at 04:08 UT; "C" on July 14 at 00:06 UT; and "D" on July 14 at 02:18 UT. Each composite includes 24 individual LORRI images, providing a total exposure time of 239 seconds and making the faint object easier to see.
New Horizons' location in the Kuiper Belt gives the spacecraft a uniquely oblique view of the small planets like Quaoar orbiting so far from the sun. When these images were taken, Quaoar was approximately 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers) from the sun and 1.3 billion miles (2.1 billion kilometers) from New Horizons.
With the oblique view available from New Horizons, LORRI sees only a portion of Quaoar's illuminated surface, which is very different from the nearly fully illuminated view of the KBO from Earth. Comparing Quaoar from the two very different perspectives gives mission scientists a valuable opportunity to study the light-scattering properties of Quaoar's surface.
In addition to many background stars, two far away galaxies - IC 1048 and UGC 09485, each about 370 billion times farther from New Horizons than Quaoar - are also visible in these images.
Unlike the galaxies and stars, Quaoar appears to move across the background scene due to its much closer distance. Other objects which appear to move in these images are camera artifacts.
In June, the New Horizons mission received the go-ahead to fly onward to 2014 MU69 - considered one of the early building blocks of the solar system - with a planned rendezvous of Jan. 1, 2019.

* "Invented Knowledge: False History, Fake Science and Pseudo-religions" (2009 by Ronald H. Fritze) [begin excerpt]:
The discovery of the Americas revived interest in the story of Atlantis with some people speculating that the Native Americans were Atlantean refugees. Others went further and identified North America as Atlantis or a remnant of Atlantis with the Native Americans as the survivors of the cataclysm that devastated the lost continent (Note 58). Beliefs in the Native Americans as Atlantean refugees and in Atlantis as America moved from learned culture to popular culture as advances in science and history discredited the Atlantis myth. Other hypotheses about Indian origins appear in the wake of Columbus' voyages. One of the earliest and most persistent hypothesis claimed that Native Americans were descendants of Carthaginian colonists. Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes first proposed it in 1535, basing his contention on the mistaken belief that Aristotle credited the Carthaginians with the discovery of a great island in the Atlantic Ocean about 590 BC. Oviedo's hypothesis quickly attracted other Spanish supporters such as Alejo Vanegras de Bustos, whose Primera parte de las differencia de libros q ay en el universo (1540) claimed that both Phoenician and Carthaginian settlers were responsible for populating the Americas. Francisco Lopez de Gomara, secretary to Hernan Cortes and chronicler of the early Spanish empire in the Americas, added a new aspect to the Carthaginian hypothesis in his Historia general de las Indias (1552). He suggested that the Carthaginian explorer Hanno discovered the Americas during his explorations down the west coast of Africa around 490 BC (Note 59). The Carthaginian hypothesis proved popular among Spanish writers and was picked tip by writers from other nations. The Portuguese explorer and historian Antonio Galvao in 1555 wrote a history of the exploration of the world that mentioned the Carthaginian settlement of the Americas in 590 bc (Note 60). It was an obvious choice for early modern Europeans to suggest the Carthaginians as the discoverers and settlers of the Americas. They were an intrepid seafaring people and their great city of Carthage was founded in 814 BC by Phoenicians from the city of Tyre, another accomplished seafaring people. Early modern Europeans would have been very familiar with the Carthaginians because of their epic wars with Rome from 264 to 165 BC. At the same time, because detailed knowledge about the Carthaginians was not available, they were also a mysterious people which actually made them more plausible as the ancestors of Native Americans. Other Spanish writers repeated the Carthaginian hypothesis of Oviedo: Vanegras de Bustos and Lopez de Gomara along with that undiscriminating enumerator of theories about pre-Columbian visitors, Gregorio Garcia, whose Origen de los indios del nuevo mundo e Indias occidentales appeared in 1607.

* "The Atlantic in World History" (2013, by Karen Ordahl Kupperman), review of the book (.pdf) [is.gd/ojCFs4] [begin excerpt]: Was it possible that Atlantis had not actually sunk, but that the ancients had merely lost contact with it? As mariners who ventured westward during the fifteenth century encountered more and more islands in the vast ocean, it seemed reasonable that perhaps Atlantis remained to be rediscovered. The lost continent even appeared on some European maps in this period. Could the American lands that Europe-ans had come to know only at the end of the fifteenth century actually be the site of that vanished culture? Gonzalo Fernandez de Oviedo y Valdes, who wrote one of the earliest histories of the Indies, connected the newly discovered lands to Atlantis in the 1530s. The Reverend Richard Hakluyt, who collected travel accounts and was one of the first great promoters of English colonization, wrote that the ancients had had some knowledge of America and referred to "my Western Atlantis or America."' In 1607 a Spanish Dominican priest, Gregorio Garcia, pointed to the many Mexican words containing the letters "ad" in com-bination, particularly in religious language, and argued that this linguis-tic evidence proved a connection to Atlantis.

* "The Nikola Tesla interview hidden for 116 years!" [archive.is/19hPu]
Once, in 1899, Nikola Tesla had an interview with a certain journalist, John Smith, when Tesla said, “Everything is the light.” From the interview -
Tesla: I wanted to illuminate the whole earth. There is enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, as a ring around Saturn.
Mankind is not ready for the great and good. In Colorado Springs I soaked the earth by electricity. Also we can water the other energies, such as positive mental energy. They are in the music of Bach or Mozart, or in the verses of great poets. In the Earth’s interior, there are energy of Joy, Peace and Love. Their expressions are a flower that grows from the Earth, the food we get out of her and everything that makes man’s homeland. I’ve spent years looking for the way that this energy could influence people. The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.

* "World's oldest pyramids are discovered" (1996-11-19, independent.co.uk) [archive.is/bX4v2]: Archaeologists have discovered the world's oldest pyramids - on the Atlantic coast of southern Brazil. Like the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, the South American ones seem to have been built for religious purposes. Some contain hundreds of human burials, complete with spectacular grave goods - including stone plaques, shell breast plates and beautifully made stone birds, fish, whales and other animals.
But although the functions of the Brazilian and Egyptian pyramids were to some extent the same, there was certainly no contact between ancient Egypt and Brazil, and the concept of building pyramids was invented quite independently in both places.
Dating from 3000BC, the oldest of the Brazilian pyramids predate the earliest Egyptian example by several hundred years. The construction techniques were also markedly different, each Egyptian pyramid being built in one operation, while the Brazilian ones were each built in several phases, possibly over many decades or even centuries. And, unlike the Egyptian stone pyramids, the Brazilian ones were built exclusively of sea shells.
That is why archaeologists in the past had never realised what they were. For years Brazilian prehistorians had thought that the sites were simply immense piles of domestic rubbish from settlements.
But research carried out over the past four years has revealed that the "piles of ancient rubbish" were in fact deliberately built square structures of roughly pyramidic design.
Initial research suggests that some of the structures were originally move 160ft high with bases covering up to 37 acres. And in terms of volume, they were much bigger than the earliest examples in Egypt, and almost as high.
The archaeologists estimate that originally there were around a thousand Brazilian pyramids - some apparently 5,000 years old, others less ancient - of which fewer than 10 per cent survive in various states of preservation.
Up to this century most had survived, but between the Twenties and the Sixties they were used as a source of raw material for road construction. One of the largest surviving examples - near the town of Jaguaruna in the Brazilian state of Santa Catatina - still covers 25 acres and stands 100ft high - perhaps up to 65ft less than its original height.
Archaeological research is now even showing that some of the Brazilian pyramids - like their Mexican counterparts - had structures on top of them, although the Brazilian examples are up to 3,000 years older than the ones in Central America.
"Our new research shows that Brazil's prehistoric Indians 5,000 years ago were more sophisticated than we had thought and were capable of producing truly monumental structures," said Professor Edna Morley, the director of the Instituto do Patrinionio Historico e Artistico National (National Heritage Institute) in Santa Catarina where most of the Brazilian pyramids have been discovered.
"These massive structures will help revolutionise the way we think about ancient Indian cultures," she said.
