Anthropologists, and miscellaneous other ologists have studied
the evidence of the Olmec art and agree that the the features
are "negroid".  This is highly unusual.  The architectural,
religious, and linguistic similarities between some Central
American cultures and the Egyptian culture exist.   While there
is no absolute proof (what that would consist of is not clear)
that people from the old world traveled to and from the new,
it is clear that it is indeed possible.

The possibility is taken seriously
by many scholars, and Thor Heyerdahl proved that it was entirely
possible with the successful journey in Ra II.  Ra II was a
reed boat built by Indians in a traditional way.  To ignore
non-white transoceanic travel is to ignore the amazing navigational
feats performed by the people of the pacific islands who
can make landfall on tiny islands without benefit of sextants,
charts, or tables.  It ignores the voyages of the Chinese fleets
to Africa, a documented fact not found in the average
high school textbook.  It ignores the settlement of the Hawaiian
islands.  If an uncivilised barbaric (white) people
like the vikings could do it, why not a civilised people?

If negro people did cross the (also unproven) land bridge from
Asia, where is the proof?  Where are the negro skeletons from
Canada down to the Gulf of Mexico?  Where were the negro tribes
settled in the pacific northwest when Lewis and Clark made
their journey?

However, let us assume there was no trans-atlantic travel to
bring seeds across to Egypt.  Is it not possible that plants
could have become extinct in one region?

Finally, while the findings of the University of Munich have
yet to be confirmed and detailed by other researchers,
let us not allow the current
distribution of flora, some two thosand years from the
events, or our own racial/cultural prejudices stand in the
way of discovering truth.

P.S.
No way is Elvis on Mars.  Black folk wouldn't take that
white boy ;-).
