The document discusses evidence that ancient Egyptians were African and questions why Western scholars ignore this in favor of claims of debate over Egyptian race. It also discusses the Olmec civilization in ancient America, the largest evidence of which are stone heads, and asks which race the heads appear to belong to. If African, it suggests this provides evidence of an ancient African presence in America before Columbus, as supported by studies cited.

Question #3:
1. A large body of credible evidence shows that the Ancient
Egyptians were Africans. Why do western scholars and
historians ignore this evidence to support claims that there is
still debate over the Egyptians' race? What factors do you think
explain this problem?
Question #4:
1. The Olmecs is the oldest known civilization in Ancient
America. The most visible evidence we have of them is the
huge stone heads found in Central America. Review these stone
heads on the Internet. Which race do you believe they belong.
If you believe the heads appear to represent that of Africans,
what does that tell you about Ancient America and Ancient
Africans. Be reminded, several historical studies have shown
an African presence in Ancient America that predates Columbus
[See Michael Bradley's,
The African Presence in Pre-Columbia America
and Ivan Van Sertima's
They Came Before Columbus
