@Camillo Benitez yes the natives above Canada carry ancestry with northeast Asians (Mongolic and Turkic groups- some even Eurasian). The natives below Canada look like Tibetans and the old Ainu or southern Chinese. And these groups were originally yellow skinned. They get their ‘brown’ complexion from the Melanesian/Australian and South Asian groups also indigenous to the Americas. Carry on researching!

It's such a beautiful color, it has been analyzed by scientists and now we know. The ancient Maya combined the leaves of the anil plant (from the same family as peas) and a mineral called palygorskite. The baffling part about this is that there are no known palygorskite deposits in Mesoamerica, so it is a mystery where they obtained the mineral. You may see a future show on Mexico Unexplained called "The Mystery of Maya Blue." Stay tuned.

I took a few art appreciation classes in the late 90's and although the prof. touched on these and other indigenous Mexican murals it was apart of a larger section of study and left me wondering about the application techniques and the pigments used especially this blue. Precisely because of the lengthy processes and rare minerals used by European artists to achieve such a brilliant color

I've heard people say those things before. I think there are other comments saying similar things. I don't buy the dreadlocks argument at all, though, because as I sit here there is a white guy working at the furniture store across the street from me who has dreadlocks (that is not necessarily an African hairstyle). Personally, I need more proof that Africans were in Mexico in prehistory. Everyone wants to stake a claim on ancient Mexico for some reason: I've had Chinese, people from India and even Polynesians write comments telling me that their people were in Mexico first, they built the pyramids, etc. I guess I am open to all of this, but I need more proof. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them.

These are not african transplants that did all this. Some of the coloring of the murals has aged with time, but if you just would go beyond color you would see their facial features are not African. And about dreadlocks, well, I'm a pasty white girl and I had dreadlocks when I was in collage during my hippie phase. You're not only trying to appropriate this culture, you are trying to appropriate dreadlocks? Whatever.

I believe the Olmecs looked like Asian people or were Asian, but with bigger lips, wider noses, and darker skin. African Americans are not the only people who are melanated in this world. Some African Americans say nobody else in this world looks like them, but there are aboriginal people of Australia, and etc. Also, that Olmec head called El Negro, the one that some people say has an afro, I’ve seen a different Olmec head statue that’s small, but with Asian looking eyes and big lips that has the same hairline as the Olmec head with the “afro.” It looks like it has a broken helmet on with some short hair showing, though, so I don’t know about that, but even if that one Olmec head has an afro, the Olmecs are still the ancestors of some modern day Mexicans. Also, I saw some Olmec stone carvings with straight hair too. I know looks can be deceiving. We’re talking about artifacts from so many years ago. It might not be that accurate. Maybe some Asian looking people mixed with some type of African or Australoid people back then. Maybe there was an African or an Australoid presence sometime in the past and maybe that explains them Olmec heads, but I think there’s no record of anything like that being the case, just speculation. I only know about a small number of Olmec heads that look African or Australoid to me. Look at the Asian looking eyes and the look of the people of these artworks and many of the artifacts have Asian looking eyes. Also, you can’t forget the tribes that still have their languages, traditions, and DNA and the people who lost their languages and traditions, but still have the DNA, just my thoughts.

I just remembered not long ago, that small Olmec head statue that I said looks like it got a broken helmet on with some short hair showing is called a Yoke Olmec or a Yoke. I just wanted to bring that up, so people know what Olmec head I was talking about.

You think the so call black people in America are from Africa? Do you think the so call black people in Australia from Africa too or the black Philippines they call the Negritos are from Africa too?

It’s not far fetched to say these are “Negroes”. Look at the locs in their hair. Their headdress resembles what black elders (and other races of people most likely) in the church wear. Their skin is the same copper tone as most “black” Americans today. We see what these ancient cultures left behind and their works resemble us like these murals. Let’s not even start on the pyramids here in Central America. They resemble those in Africa. That’s not a coincidence.

I know they were not African; however, they found Inca and Myans skeletons with remains with long COARSE dreadlocks. Many of the women whore micro braids and cornrows with beads. The oldest skeleton found in America was a Negra woman called Luzia, not a Native American. The 12,000-year-old skeleton of a Nigra teenage girl named Naia was found in Hoyo Negro, an underwater cave system on the Yucatan Peninsula The Negro "El Negro" Olmec monumental stone sculpture from Tres Zapotes at the Museo Regional Tuxteco in Santiago Tuxtla, Veracruz, Mexico. You also had Olmec's heads with cornrows in the back of their head as well as full or big lips and wide flat noses.

Hairstyles don't indicate race at all. A white person can have dreadlocks. This is getting old.

The Tres Zapotes head does not have an "Afro." You are seeing what you want to see and what you have been told to see. It has a helmet like all the other colossal stone heads. Try harder.
