Ivan Gladstone Van Sertima (26 January 1935 – 25 May 2009) was a Guyanese-born British associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in the United States.[1]

He was best known for his Olmec alternative origin speculations, a brand of pre-Columbian contact theory, which he proposed in his book They Came Before Columbus (1976). While his Olmec theory has "spread widely in African American community, both lay and scholarly", it was mostly ignored in Mesoamericanist scholarship, and has been dismissed as Afrocentric pseudoarchaeology[2] and pseudohistory to the effect of "robbing native American cultures" - Wikipedia

The problem is that all these lectures about ancient civilisations in Africa are in English, not the languages of the continent of Africa. The biggest task facing us as Africans is to translate all the works of our great scholars into African languages so that all the children of Africa know about them. So much research has happened done by black Americans but Africa doesn't or know little about it. Even what Cheik Ante Diop revealed to the astonishment of Europe/America/Arab scholars is not known by the majority of Africans because it's all in French and English. There's a lot to be done by us Africans in order to achieve UNITY or BLACK POWER or PAN-AFRICANISM

There is a fascinating book by another black author named Drusilla Dungee Houston. "Wonderful Ethiopians of The Ancient Cushite Empire" (published in 1926) that I think people will find interesting. Also, I've enjoyed Dr. Van Sertima's books for many years.

Incredible scholar. This is 1982 and so much of what he's bringing to light is still being debated and the political issues are still being debated.

You and me must put all the pieces back together to see the Truth. Just start by asking yourself who told you what you know now. Cognitive Dissonance is hard but deep down inside most of us just want to know the Truth. Historical Truth that we were not provided. Well no more excuses to not put the pieces to the puzzle together. Man Know Yourself for in knowing self you will know the Most High. For the names have been changed to protect the Guilty. He who controls the printed pages controls the thinking of the Ages. Thanks to all of my AnceStars who have provided their Truth based on their research.
