Were Africans the First Americans? 🗿

About this video

The Olmec heads challenge everything we’ve been taught about the first civilizations in the Americas. These giant stone monuments, carved over 3,000 years ago, don’t have the features we typically associate with modern Native Americans. Instead, they show broad noses, full lips, and strong facial structures—features that many link to African ancestry.

What if Africans were here first? Evidence suggests deep connections between ancient African civilizations and early American tribes, long before Columbus or European contact.

The Olmec heads resemble African kings and warriors.

Stories of Black explorers like Mansa Abu Bakr II point to transatlantic voyages.

Tools, symbols, and cultural practices between West Africa and Native tribes share uncanny similarities.

Southeastern Native tribes, such as the Yamasee and Washitaw, have oral histories of Black ancestry.

This isn’t just Mexican history—it’s African and Native history intertwined, revealing how Black influence shaped the earliest civilizations on this land.

The Olmec heads don’t resemble classic Native American features—they show broad noses, full lips, and strong facial structures that many believe connect directly to Africa. Pair this with oral traditions, ancient artifacts, and even the voyages of African rulers like Mansa Abu Bakr II, and the narrative gets even harder to ignore.
