About this video
Did Black people reach America before Columbus? The answer is YES—and the evidence is overwhelming.
Centuries before 1492, Mansa Abu Bakr II, ruler of the powerful Mali Empire, abdicated his throne and led an ambitious expedition across the Atlantic Ocean in 1311—with over 2,000 ships. His mission? To discover what lay beyond the sea. According to Malian historians, including accounts preserved in the manuscripts of Timbuktu, Abu Bakr never returned. But what if he made it?
📜 In this video, you'll learn:
How eyewitness accounts from Indigenous Mexicans described Black African sailors arriving on their shores—hundreds of years before Columbus.
The discovery of African tools, sculptures, and architecture in ancient South America that closely resemble artifacts from Mali and Egypt.
Why Egyptian mummies tested positive for coco and tobacco—plants that are native to the Americas and not found in Africa or Europe at the time.
The role of the Transatlantic Current—a natural oceanic route connecting West Africa to the Americas—that made this voyage possible.
Biblical connections: how scripture foretold truth being revealed in the last days, and what that means for Black people reclaiming historical identity.
How this narrative was erased by colonial historians to maintain the myth of white discovery and dominance.
Modern scholars, archaeologists, and geneticists are revisiting these suppressed facts. DNA evidence, ancient maps, and cross-cultural similarities between African and Mesoamerican societies all point to one conclusion:
Columbus didn’t discover America. He invaded it.
And before he got there? Black explorers had already arrived. It’s time we reclaim our legacy, dismantle whitewashed history, and tell the truth that was buried for centuries.
