First Religious statues were Black on every continent

The first Religious statues were Black

India: The first Religious statues were Black in India. Before Buddha looked Chinese, the way we’ve come to know him, he looked like us, an African. And was worshiped like that throughout Asia

Mexico: The Olmec civilization begin in 1200 BC, before the Mayans and the Aztecs. The colossal Negroid heads were the center-piece in religious worship events. The heads are from 5 to 11 feet high and some are over 10 tons.

Egypt: Egyptian pharaohs were also considered religious figures, even divine. The further you go back in Egyptian history the more Negroid Egyptian statues become.

Viet Nam: Viet Nam’s early religious statues were very black. So says this depiction of Vishnu, a Hindu deity. The Chinese called the Champa Empire (now know as Viet Nam) the land of black men.

Thailand: The first Religious statues were Black in Thailand. Thailand’s ancient depiction of Buddha was also very black (negroid).

Rome: The Roman god Hermes was known as The god of poetry.

China: Even China’s early religious statues were very Negroid. 

Russia: The first depictions of mother Mary and baby Jesus were black. And they were worshiped like that all over Europe until the idea of white supremacy came about.  Russia and Poland still worship with the original images.

Cambodia: Angkor Wat (Temple City) is a religious temple that is about 500 acres. It was built in the 12th century by Khmer King Suryavarman. And is the largest religious monument in the world.

The People Of That Time Said The Khmer Were Black

The Chinese described the Khmer people as small black man with flat noses and Curly to kinky hair. At it’s height the Khmer Kingdom stretched from South China to Thailand.

Black Seminole Indian Wars – The War For Florida

Black Seminole Indian Wars – (DVD’s)

The Seminole Wars started in the year 1818 because the Indian tribes of Florida were giving escaped African slaves refuge in their territory. (Our Black Archaeologist episode #2, ‘Black Seminole Indian Wars’ takes place there). Slaves escaped and fled to Florida during The War Of 1812 with the help of these natives. With their new African tribe members, known as The Black Seminole Indians, they raided southern slave plantations, burning many of them to the ground and freeing hundreds of other black slaves.
These additions swelled their numbers and brought skills, trades and knowledge handed down to them from their African forebears. And they didn’t waste the skills they acquired during their lives as forced laborers on the plantations. These ex-slaves played a pivotal part in the Florida Seminole tribes development.
Black Seminole Indian Wars
America, wanting to put an end to the plantation raids and also wanting their black human property back, sent an army, lead by the future American president general Andrew Jackson, to subdue the Seminoles in 1818. There were three major Seminole Wars with skirmishes in between that lasting until 1835 when a peace agreement was signed.

African Female Warriors Of Dahomey

African Female Warriors Of Dahomey

The black amazon of the Dahomey kingdom were a 3,000 strong regiment of heavily armed warriors. Dahomey occupied what is now present day Benin, on the West coast of Africa. They we’re called Amazons because of their similarity to the mythical Amazons of Anatolia (Ancient Turkey). The kingdom of Dahomey lasted about 300 years (from 1600 A.D. to1900 A.D.).  In this Black Archaeologist episode, we tried to capture what it must have felt like to be the enemy of the most fiercest warriors in all of African, The Female Warriors Of The Kingdom Of Dahomey.

Black Panther – Just another superhero movie?

Some people say, oh, Black Panther is just another superhero movie, but others know it’s much more. The film shows black people working together with honor and integrity. It also shows black people with courage and power, Up to now, when a black person was shown with these attributes in movies he was the only black person like that and he is around mostly white people, implying that he got those good qualities from them and not his community. This reaffirms the myth that blacks don’t work together well and need white people to achieve any kind of success. Black Panther shows that black people have a common bond of suffering all over the world because of white supremacy and oppression, when the media rarely speaks of the black peoples connected troubles internationally.

Black Panther – Not just another superhero movie

The blockbuster movie strongly speaks to what black people could have done for themselves had it not been for slavery, the colonizers, oppression, Jim Crow and stolen history. All this makes since when you learn about the Moors, Egypt and places like the west African empires.  The film could quit possibly be the most important black film in a long time

Black Moors were expelled from EuropeThe Moors  BLACK PANTHER Egypt black archaeologist mansa musaWest African Empires

The ground breaking marvel movie will more than likely inspire more positive black characters out of Hollywood. Black directors with enlightened black characters will probably win out over the more negative projects, because of today climate.  Hopefully these content providers give us some quality productions. Yes, I feel we are going to see some interesting productions, focused on the black experience, coming out in the near future.  These are interesting times.
