Description
They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America by Ivan Van Sertima A landmark study that challenges the conventional narrative of history, Ivan Van Sertima presents a compelling case for the presence of Africans in ancient America. By examining navigation, shipbuilding, cultural analogies, and oral accounts, Van Sertima builds a strong argument for an African presence in the New World centuries before Columbus. Through meticulous research and engaging storytelling, Van Sertima reveals the impact of African explorers and traders on the civilizations they encountered. The book sheds new light on the history of the Americas, offering a fresh perspective on the pre-Columbian era.
