The January 11, 1988 issue of Time Magazine's cover story stated once more the scholars agree that the plains of Africa which now comprise the still growing Sahara Desert was indeed the Garden of Eden about 200,000 years ago. The January 16, 1989 issue of the Honolulu Star Bulletin had a little article about an anthropologist named Wilson who claimed his genetic research showed that the capacity for language was traced to a single woman who lived in Africa 200,000 years ago. Her descendants supplanted all other humans who lived in Asia and Europe within the next 20,000 years. The more you study history and ultimately anthropology the more you become aware of the many vast mass migrations of people which have taken place many times over the continents. Dr. Louis Leake and others have proven within the last generation that all of humanity and the first burst of civilization traces back to the Oldavai gorge of Eastern Africa, the upper Nile.As late as 1906 A.D. fresco art work was discovered inside rock caves in the heart of the now barren Sahara which proved through people, societies and game animals thriving on the then verdant (green) plains of the Sahara desert, years old lie under the sands at Meroe, Axum, Zimbabwe, Timbuktu and other places now part of the desert.
There are even some who say the Druids, builders of Stonehenge and Pics, who inhabited The British Isles thousands of years before the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and Norman conquests were dark of skin and African in origin.
Certainly one of many reasons Prime Minister Tanaka is ignorant of the vast millennia of African history is because Julius Caesar's troops burned the huge and unbelievably ancient Egyptian state library in Alexandria Egypt while Julius was wooing Cleopatra there in the third century B.C.
Typically, when Hollywood did the movie Liz Taylor got to play Cleopatra instead of Pam Grear or Cicely Tyson. Many of the troops who fought with Caesar in his subjugation of the British Isles in 350 B.C. were Ethiopian, as was the General he left in charge when he returned to Rome. Some say one of the reasons Caesar was assassinated was because his only blood heirs were his two sons by Cleopatra, who as the saying goes was "Black and comely".
What incredible but true histories, poems, genealogies, mathematical theories and astrological discoveries were destroyed by Caesar's drunken hoards that
It is said the Egyptian Pharaonic empire began to form around 5,000 B.C. and arose to its fullest flower around 3500 B.C.. The largest Pyramids and the Sphinx were built then by warrior pharaohs who dominated the countries around Egypt at the time. Ancient Greece is the commonly accepted cradle of "Western "Civilization" and it is now very interesting to read, in the ancient Greek what the Greek writers said of the major influences upon their culture. Diodorus Sikeliotes of Sicily wrote in 50 B.C.
"Now the Ethiopians (Africans) as historians relate were the first of all men" and the proof of this statement is manifestly proven in the history written in that time, which also established that the Egyptians were actually colonists send down the Nile from the Ethiopian (African) nations of the interior of Africa around 5500 B.C.. The mathematical theorems for their pyramids and their system of gods and ancestor worship they brought with them from the ancient Empires of the upper Nile and then green Sahara plains.
Even today pyramids and monuments of architecture similar to the Egyptian pyramids may to seen among the growing sand dunes in Meroe 2000 miles west of Egypt
Herodotus of Helicarnassus wrote 10 volumes of world histories around 450 B.C. The second one deals at length with his lengthy journey to Egypt, where all Greek scholars had to study in those days before they could call themselves truly learned. Aristotle wrote "Egypt was the cradle of mathematics". Pythagoras spent 21 years in Egypt before returning the Greece to teach geometry.The great pyramids of Gizeh was already 2000 years old then and built with exacting mathematical precision. One had but to gaze upon the exquisite solid gold mask of the boy king Tutankhamen for three seconds to know by the lips and the nose that was a "brother" in the solid gold casket. The Egyptian royal tombs were repositories of vast wealth in art, jewels and bullion.
Africa
The South African government passed a statute making illegal for a black man to own a gold mine there for the first time in 1872. Prior to that, of course Africans had mined the substance for many millennia. Mansa Munsa Emperor of Mali in 1328 A.D., which encompassed present day Senegal, Mali and Sudan carried and dispensed so much gold on his legendary pilgrimage from Timbuktu to Mecca that he caused inflation in every country he passed through. All 60,000 men in his entourage carried golden staffs, it is said. He returned to Timbuktu with architects to expand the university there, which thrived in literature, law and medicine until the Berbers sacked and razed the city in 1520 A.D.
