Ile Ife is not even in Nigeria. It's simply a composite mythical kingdom assembling history and myths from ancient and medieval Nubia (Kush, Alodia, Nobatia and Dongola) and the land of Yam/Negritia or Nok Culture, from which the ancestors of Yoruba royalty descends from. My guess is that, at some point in history around 300 BCE to 900 CE, a royal or aristocratic bloodline of Pan-Sahelian descent connected to the Nile valley kingdoms and to the Nok Culture migrated westward and southward in a migratory pattern reminiscent of the Hausa people and other Afro-Asiatic speaking ethnic groups now settled in present-day Nigeria, Chad and Niger, intermarried with the common ancestors of all Kwa-speaking and so-called East Kwa/proto-Yoruboid/Volta-Niger/West Benue-Congo speaking people alike (or so-called Defoid speaking populations) during the African Iron Age-- giving birth to the Yoruba, Igbo, Akan, Kwa-speaking and other alike royalties living in the region of Eastern Guinea, then that at some point around the last quarter of the Ist millenium CE to 12th century CE, the Yorubas began to splice apart from the lot as a distinct ethnolinguistic polity and to found kingdoms all over Eastern Guinea starting 900s CE due to significant climatic changes and political upheavals all across the Sudano-Sahelian region caused by the drought of the Lake Chad, the expansion of concurrent Sudanian and Saharian kingdoms, the economic downfall of Nubia and its polities (mostly caused by the further desertification of Sahara in Sudan) by the 500s CE, the Arab invasions of Egypt and Nubia by the VIIIth century CE and at last the uprise of Empress Gudit and of her Zagwē Havilah Dynasty in Abyssinia followed next by a period of Abyssinian expansionism back to East Africa and Central Africa, causing numerous Alodian and Dongolian princes and clans to migrate into regions tropical Africa yet unoccupied by Gudit (such as the Central African Shenzi Chwezi Empire of Kitara, its Zanguestan/Zanguebar/"Swahili States" province and South-Central Africa) and West Sudan.

Ifa is Yoruba information retrieval system that is dated about 250,000 years ago and it is premised on the concept that gave birth to modern day computer. Ifa has 256 Odus and computer has 256 bytes. Ifa is based on the binary of 1:0, computer is based on same principles. So, if Ifa is far older than a 19th century invention by several thousands of years, then it is obvious to know that the west learn the concept of computing from the Yorubas.

That's a possibility. But as far as I know there are no written or oral accounts to back this meeting up of Yoruba and peoples of the Americas. Since these continents were connected millions of years ago, that is probably why maize is in that area of Africa.. For example the most sacred tree to many of the indigenous of central and south America, the ceiba, is also found in the jungles of west / central Africa and is on the flag of Equatorial Guinea. But there is no evidence that one gave the other the tree or shared the tree's medicinal and spiritual aspects. Just parallel evolution.

We know that West Africans (particularly Mandinka), called the "Olmecs" have been traveling the Canary Current and trading with Mexico since 3,000 B.C. or earlier, and West Africa traded internally among all the nations, so we should expect many similar things to be found in Central/South America and Africa (foods, animals, pottery, etc.) as the result of very early trade, and this fact is being "underexplored". West Africans living in Los Angeles typically do half of their shopping for food in Mexican grocery stores BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL THE SAME STAPLE FOODS. They buy their spices from African grocery stores, and buy their meat, peppers, vegetables, and produce from Mexican grocery stores because they have everything they need. I used to tell my Black and Mexican students in South Central LA about all the food and cultural similarities between Central Americans (Mexicans) and Africans and talk about the trade and contact, AND THEY LOVED IT, made them feel closer to each other, since they already had so many similarities already. Ivan Van Sertima already pointed out that African cotton was found in the Americas, but THAT'S JUST FOR STARTERS. We need to thoroughly research and explore beans, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice, and even flamingos, because we know Africans frequently traded exotic animals as well. In Central America, flamingos are found only in a place very near to the Olmec civilization (where Africans frequented) and also found all over South America and the Caribbean. They're also found in Africa, Asia, and Southern Europe, but they are concentrated mostly in South America, are less ubiquitous in Africa, and only found in very few places in Asia and Europe, with their distribution clearly coming from Africa. I believe that the Flaming is a native South/Central American bird, as it is more widespread in the Americas, has more species variations, and actually resembles birds commonly found in the Americas, as their very colorful plumage and huge and strangely shaped beak are both features common to the Americas, and much less common in Africa, hardly seen in Asia or Europe. The toucan (a South American bird) for example has very similar brightly colored plumage and the very same kind of huge bill as it's beak. How can a bird spread out over a much wider area (Africa, Asia, Southern Europe) and have much less species diversity than South America, a place in closer proximity and with extremely similar ecosystems. It doesn't make sense!!! My theory is that the very beautiful flamingo, highly prized for it's beautiful plumage all over the world, is one of the principal exotic animals traded between Central Americans and West Africans beginning in a very ancient date, then spreading into other parts of Africa and into Asia and Southern Europe. The peanut is also some serious evidence, as it is clearly native to South America, but found all over Africa, particularly in West Africa. Here in The Gambia the peanut (called groundnut in Africa) is the chief staple crop of the Mandinka, - THE VERY SAME AFRICANS WHO TRADED WITH MEXICO, THE SAME AFRICANS WHO ARE CALLED "OLMECS" IN AMERICA, AND LEFT THEIR WRITING AND GIANT STONE HEADS OF THEMSELVES. The Mandinka are of the larger "Mende" language group, which includes the Bambara - who have their own subspecies of peanut called the "Bambara nut", which (if I'm not mistaken) is the only other native peanut species growing outside of South America. Isn't that strange? = The very same people - The Mandinka/Mende/Bambara, called the "Olmecs" in the Americas, 1) Have made the peanut (a South American plant) their chief staple crop, and 2) are growing the only peanut sub-species in the world outside of South America, clearly suggesting that they obtained the peanut (through trade with Central/South America) so long ago that the peanut became one of their principal crops and they even cultivated their own species of peanut!!! But nobody is exploring this evidence!!! Also, the Yoruba religion called "Ifa" is estimated to be at least 2,500, and in its sacred verses called "Odu Ifa" (the cornerstone of their religion) corn is mentioned MANY TIMES and was clearly a staple food of the Yoruba since ancient times, just like it still is today, and just like it is for many other African peoples, particularly West African - where trade with Central/South America occurred. The Portuguese didn't first contact the Yoruba until about 500 years ago, SO DID THE YORUBA'S MEET THE PORTUGUESE, GET CORN FROM THEM, QUICKLY SPREAD IT ALL OVER THEIR PEOPLE AND CULTURE WITH LIGHTNING SPEED, AND THEN CHANGE THEIR SACRED VERSES TO INCLUDED REFERENCES TO CORN ALL OVER IT??!! The thought is absurd, clearly West Africans had corn and many other Central/South American staple foods and other things long before Columbus, just like the Central/South Americans had many African things long before Columbus BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TRADING WITH EACH OTHER FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, which we already knew from the Olmec evidence, BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO BE EXPLORING THIS!!! Whoever is in this field GET ON IT!!!

Oki, Piikani here, Quechua of Tawantinsuyu and Taino of Boriken. While there existed and pre-existed contact with foreign people, trade and commerce between our continent and the like. There also existed an extensive inter-continental trade network throughout the continent. And neither codex nor oral tradition established in this period speaks of African presence here, and in particular the garnering and exchange of something as fundamental as maize, prior to 1492. Including that of what has been so erroneously defined as Hispaniola. Which is where Columbus first (and lastly) set afoot his presence. Not in what has been recast as the “New world.” There was extensive trade between the caribbean coastal, central and south by way of andean and amazonian venture. As well as coastal floridian peoples. Who brought along with them and exchanged for maize through aforementioned trade relations. However maize was limited to the highlands of our empire. Through commerce and exchange with (unlimited to) the Purepecha people, as well as the Nahua alliance because of its sustainable nature and economic value. Ie.it was not cultivated to be a staple grain for us beyond that introduction. However the trading network was of course unlimited to the exchange of maize and was a precursor to longstanding relationships. That is to say, it is boldly implausible that this was the case.

There is another possibility. It could be that domesticated maize from the Americas floated over and took root in Africa. Coconuts do it and various small animals like spiders and rodents made their way across the Atlantic on natural rafts created by storms. Or perhaps the Yoruba domesticated their own grain that looks similar to corn that got supplanted by maize in later centuries. Unless sherds were found, securely dated, that came from the other side of the ocean or there were human remains belonging to one group in the other land from before the 15th century it would be hard to convince the broader archaeological community of contact. It's still very possible, but more evidence is required.

I have a problem with the idea Africans ventured across the ocean to the Americas. Back in the day Ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian times EVERYONE without exception when they set sail, followed the coastline so as not to get lost at sea. With that said, why is there no record of them venturing north into the med and up to the English Channel to trade???? Has ANYONE replicated just one of their alleged sailing ships, let alone put them to sea to PROVE a point? Somehow, I am to believe they supposed to have ignored common rule of following land mass, but rather set sail across a vast ocean with no compass, little or no knowledge of astronomy yet to be established, I have no doubt that native Africans were aboard European sailing ships in those early days, there may even have been a few black people on some of the early Viking voyages, as they were known to have traded in the med and could easily have bought slaves to take back home.

The story of us is older and more complex than we will ever be able to historically understand. We must first understand that the topography of the planet has changed dramatically over countless ions, and that climatic changes and environmental disasters makes it difficult to definitively state that African civilization is older than the American civilization. We can be certain that there was a time in our planet’s history and our collective history, where the Americans and Africa were connected. If we’re the first people of earth it would be reasonable to conclude that our ancestors were never disconnected, but in fact continued to exist as a highly advanced global civilization. The existence of pyramidal structures found globally are indicators that let us know our ancestors were there. The United States Government has practiced selective mutism when informing the public of what’s in the Grand Canyon. The government location the existence of pyramids, and Egyptian temples artifacts and other historical oop arts. The connection our ancestors had between the two continents is apparent in the names Utah and Hopi. Utah is derived from the name of the Egyptian god Ptah and the Hopi have named themselves so in honor of the goddess Hapi. The God Bastet is in the center of the Mayan calendar. While in Egypt, many of the deities’s animal totem are native to the Americas. Take for example Anubis who’s an Xoloitzcuintle dog of Mexico. My ancestors are indigenous to the Americas, but we are connected with the Yoruba who are our kin across the water. Ifa is our connection and it was through the practice that the ancestors spilled and tea 😂😂

It doesnt matter if Yoruba came here first or not. I'm shocked this video missed one huge undeniable easily verifiable fact. When Columbus came her, they were told by the natives that Black People come from across the sea and traded with them. This was documented by Columbus crew and still available today. We dont know what tribe it was but we know there was contact with Black People before Columbus. And what's amazing is was verified by Columbus himself. Not to mention, Eric the Red came before Columbus as well, but that's another story. Again, whether it was the Yoruba or not doesn't matter. But it was Black Africans. It's already documented in history. There is no need for a senseless debate about it.

Ile Ife is not even in Nigeria. It's simply a composite mythical kingdom assembling history and myths from ancient and medieval Nubia (Kush, Alodia, Nobatia and Dongola) and the land of Yam/Negritia or Nok Culture, from which the ancestors of Yoruba royalty descends from. My guess is that, at some point in history around 300 BCE to 900 CE, a royal or aristocratic bloodline of Pan-Sahelian descent connected to the Nile valley kingdoms and to the Nok Culture migrated westward and southward in a migratory pattern reminiscent of the Hausa people and other Afro-Asiatic speaking ethnic groups now settled in present-day Nigeria, Chad and Niger, intermarried with the common ancestors of all Kwa-speaking and so-called East Kwa/proto-Yoruboid/Volta-Niger/West Benue-Congo speaking people alike (or so-called Defoid speaking populations) during the African Iron Age-- giving birth to the Yoruba, Igbo, Akan, Kwa-speaking and other alike royalties living in the region of Eastern Guinea, then that at some point around the last quarter of the Ist millenium CE to 12th century CE, the Yorubas began to splice apart from the lot as a distinct ethnolinguistic polity and to found kingdoms all over Eastern Guinea starting 900s CE due to significant climatic changes and political upheavals all across the Sudano-Sahelian region caused by the drought of the Lake Chad, the expansion of concurrent Sudanian and Saharian kingdoms, the economic downfall of Nubia and its polities (mostly caused by the further desertification of Sahara in Sudan) by the 500s CE, the Arab invasions of Egypt and Nubia by the VIIIth century CE and at last the uprise of Empress Gudit and of her Zagwē Havilah Dynasty in Abyssinia followed next by a period of Abyssinian expansionism back to East Africa and Central Africa, causing numerous Alodian and Dongolian princes and clans to migrate into regions tropical Africa yet unoccupied by Gudit (such as the Central African Shenzi Chwezi Empire of Kitara, its Zanguestan/Zanguebar/"Swahili States" province and South-Central Africa) and West Sudan.
