Columbus Knew India In 1492
Columbus was not stupid nor was he lost,in fact he had maps,He knew that in 1942
there was no country named India. Instead it was known as Hindustan. He did not name
the people he found on his first voyage to the western hemisphere “Hindustanis”. So
where did this word “Indian” derive? The Spanish friars who accompanied the Italian
navigator Columbus to the land….were so enamored of the total trust and innocence of
the inhabitants that in Spanish they called them Los ninos in Dios, the ‘children of God.”
This was, of course, soon shortened to “Indios.” And even today, throughout South
and Central America, the indigenous people are still called “Indios.” As the White
European cultures bumped into each other in North America, the name again changed to
“Indian” or “Indigenous” in America and Canada.
o THE MUSLIMS, who sailed west from 889 AD to 1324 AD, were avid sailors and
theoreticians and in the 800s gathered their scholars together in Baghdad to calculate
the exact circumference of the earth. The Muslims occupied Spain, and it is said that
Abu al-Hasan Al-Masudi wrote in 956 of a voyage from the port of Delba (Southern
Spain) in 889 with the intent of circling the globe. It is said the ships encountered a very
large land mass to the east, traded with the natives and returned to Muslim Spain. The
land mass was named “the unknown land” by Al-Masudi in his famous map.
o THE EGYPTIANS/NUBIANS sailed west from earliest times for trading purposes.
Traces of coca and nicotine found in some Egyptian mummies have led to speculation
that Ancient Egyptians may have traveled to the New World. The initial discovery was
made by a German toxicologist, Svetlana Balabanova, after examining the mummy of a
female priestess called Henut Taui. Follow-up tests of the hair shaft, performed to rule
out contamination, gave the same results. According to their history, from 100,000 B.C.
to the Americas (both north and south) where they stayed for tens of thousands of years.
By 30,000 B.C., to about 15,000 B.C. a massive migration from the Sahara towards the
Indian Ocean and the Pacific in the East occurred from the Sahara.) Africans have a long
history derived both from the continent of Africa and from Mexico, of traveling to and
settling their peoples in the Americas.The colossal “Olmec” faces are undeniably Negroid
and admirable in appearance, showing us that at one time the Black influence was
dominant in the areas where they are found. They did not come to the Americas as

slaves, but as settlers and even lords. It is claimed that they settled islands in the Atlantic
and remained there over the centuries, long before Black slaves were brought to the
Americas. It is certain that ancient Africans visited the Americas from about 3,000 B.C.,
staying and building cities. I is believed that a massive group of Blacks left the Sahara,
moving towards the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, then going even further to the East,
across the Atlantic. Blacks continued to cross the Atlantic to the Americas from that time
on, until the time of Columbus' first voyage.
THE WASHITAW (Ouachita) People have an oral history of seafaring trade between the
Americas and Africa. And it is claimed that the Washitaw are in origin an aboriginal Black
nation. The original settlers of the Mississippi Valley region, the former Louisiana
Territories and parts of the Southern United States were these peoples. According to oral
traditions, their ancient ships, on missions of trade and commerce, frequently plied the
Ocean between Africa and the Americas. In 1964, the International Congress of
American Anthropologists was held in Barcelona, Spain. A French anthropologist
claimed that Negroid skeletons were needed, in addition to the already found Negroid
featured terracottas, to prove there were Blacks in the Americas before Columbus. In
February of 1975, skeletons of Negroid people dating to the 1200s were found at a pre-
Columbian grave in the Virgin Islands. Andrei Wierzinski, craniologist, concluded that a
good portion of the skulls were that of African Blacks, and that Negroid skeletons had
been found throughout Mexico. Mexican professionals conclude that Black Africans
established early trading centers on the coasts of the Americas, beginning at Vera Cruz,
from which Meso-American civilization grew. If we can believe the general consensus of
contemporary scientific studies, Blacks continued to migrate from their homeland in
Africa to settle throughout Asia, Europe, Australia and the Americas.
