message: IT IS POINTLESS TO CONTINUE DENYING THE AFRO-OLMECS WERE BLACK AFRICANS
The Olmecs included two races. A prehistoric African Negro race found in West Africa/Sahara who spoke Manding-Shi and the Mongoloid 'Indian' race found in North America/Alaska.  
The Afro-Olmec civilization was founded by Emperor 'Meci' about 5 thousand years ago. African ancient books note the date to about 3113 BC, when Meci sailed from West Africa in eight ships.  (See "A History of the African-Olmecs: Black Civilizations of America from Prehistoric Times to the Present Era," published by www.AuthorHouse.com  also see "Susu Economics" pub by www.AuthorHouse.com and "A History of Education Book II," pub. by www.Xlibris.com  http://community.webtv.net/pabarton
It is rather shameful that some historians and writers have shamelessly tried to deny or hide the fact that the Olmecs were African NEGROES and not 'Negritoes' Pygmies or other Blacks living in Asia.  
The Olmec language (UNKNOWN TO MOST OF THESE 'EXPERTS' HAVE BEEN DECIPHERED ALREADY) is identical to the ancient and present Mandinga-Shi language of West Africa.  The ancient Olmec alphabet in its formative style is identical to the Manding alphabet.  The Olmec cosmogony is identical to West African cosmogony.  The Olmec use of leapords skin, religious rites, worship and recognition of the thunder/lightening God and such is identical to West African Shango religion.  The Olmecs were also among the purest type of Negro IDENTICAL TO AFRICANS FROM THE GHANA/GUINEA/NIGERIA region of today.  
However, Olmec civilization is an extention of the Mandinga-Shi and Mandinga-Kush civilization spread from Sudan to Sierraleone and from Sudan to Melanesia/SE Asia.

:Sez you.
:All kidding aside, there are few if any professional archaeologists who would agree with your statements.  Moreover, there are a number of inaccuracies in your text.  Just as one example, there is nothing known about the Olmec language, and there is great discussion concerning whether the Olmec 'alphabet' is a true alphabet or, instead, complex iconography.

replies: text: olmec heads cannot be taken as evidence of African heritage.  All cultures have images of beauty that they do not fit.  Drawing sand sculptures could be used to say that the Toltecs were Caucasian and the Teotihuacanos were Arabic.  Anthropomorphic sculpture is common throughout mesoamerica.  And the Olmec iconography system is simply picture writing, how can it be related to any african alphabet?  you should be cautious about posting arguments by other authors without stopping to analyze them yourself. Also, try to be a little more careful about posting the word negro on a public forum.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.50.197.49 (talk) 21:09, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Hey Rsheptak, thanks of the citations.  I had a hunch they might be in that volume.  I can throw them in the text as academic citations, but our man Cjll knows the citation templates quite well.  Whenever I've tried using them, and the in-line referencing section, I usually end up erasing the entire article.  So I'll defer to those who know.  Oaxaca dan 02:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  References for Teotihuacan-Monte Alban interaction 

message: I looked up this page to find recent info abut the Pigmy tunnels and was surprised to find nothing. 
My source () states that they were first discovered in 1933 and explored the following year. They were lined with stone and measured 20 inches high by 25 inches wide. The first tunnel was a bit more than 320 feet long with smaller side passages, containing two skeletons, and ended at the edge of the northern terrace. Two more filled tunnels were found and a third, more complex, was found to the east of tomb seven. Their use as either a drainage system or escape tunnels has supposedly been ruled out.
More info would be appreciated.--Auric (talk) 01:49, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
