- [9/30/2008 10:38:16 AM] Ife says:
	There is a natural ocean current that flows from the West Coast of Africa to the Americas (the Caribbean, South America, Mexico, etc.). It has been recorded that Africans were the first known "gods of the Olmecs" in Mexico (1400–1300 B.C.). African sculptures, pyramids, and large colossal heads still exist in Mexico that support reports of Mexican and African relationships in the early Americas.

- [9/30/2008 10:44:32 AM] Nyasha says:
	Migration, the voluntary and involuntary movement of people from one geographical area to another, has been central to the development of an African presence in North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean. The earliest African migrants were probably explorers who came voluntarily as early as 800 A.D. 

- [9/30/2008 10:44:45 AM] Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo says:
	yes

- [9/30/2008 10:44:47 AM] Baba Wekesa Madzimoyo says:
	yes.

- [9/30/2008 10:45:05 AM] Ife says:
	It has been documented that two different African civilizations made the voyage to the Americas.  The first one was the 25th Dynasty of Egypt (751-656 B.C.E.).  Any voyages made during this time would have resulted accidentally.  The Nubians quest for iron ore deposits took them up and down the African coast.  They might have journeyed into the Atlantic after iron ore deposits or a storm could have driven them into the Atlantic.  Once in the currents it would have delivered them to the Americas.  This would put them in the Olmec heartlands at the time of the founding of the Olmec civilization.  The second voyage was made by the Mandiga people of the Mali Empire in 1310 and 1311.  In 1324 Mansa Kankan Musa stopped in Cairo and reported that his predecessor, Prince Abubakari II, launched two expeditions to explore the limits of the Atlantic Ocean.  The first expedition he sent out 200 ships of men, and 200 ships of trade material, food, water.  One ship returned and told of the current that seemed like a river in the middle of the ocean.  The captain watched the ships get sucked away, and then returned with the news.  Prince Abubakari II, after listening to the captain, decided he would lead the next voyage himself.  He took 1,000 ships of men and 1,000 ships loaded with supplies.

	Pre-Columbian Africa-Americas contact theories
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pre-Columbian Africa-Americas contact theories propose direct contact or actual migrations by peoples from the continent of Africa with the indigenous peoples of the Americas at some stage during the pre-Columbian history of the Americas– that is, earlier than the late 15th century.
There is no compelling evidence that such trans-Atlantic contacts took place and that there are no generally accepted artifacts of African provenance in the Americas. Scholarly consensus confines such hypotheses to the realm of pseudohistory.
A subset of broader claims of Pre-Columbian oceanic contact between the Americas and other parts of the world, these claims generally contend that one or more expeditions or migrations from Africa crossed the Atlantic to arrive somewhere in the Americas, where their African cultures combined with or influenced the indigenous pre-Columbian cultures. The proponents of these theories claim to detect evidence of this African cultural influence among a variety of artifacts, historical documents, native mythologies and supposed linguistic similarities.
Less commonly, theories concern contact or influence going in the other direction, from the New World to African civilizations (such as Ancient Egypt).
