West has a determination to put ancient Greeks as the birth place of civilization. A few city states as the originator of everything. Actually 95% of their people were slaves of quite different origins. The same was true for Egypt, Rome, Sumerians, Persia and India.They all had the same pool of slaves. There are a lot of similarities in their language, religion, myths and folklore. Similar architecture. That commonality is due to wide spread reliance on slavery. These were stratified societies, based on cast system. The war was the main vehicle for collecting slaves. Once 5% is defeated, the victor got everything including the population as slaves. There are ancient African kingdoms with armies. Some were nomadic, and had no need for slave to use in agriculture. Urban civilizations needed lots of slaves. It is good to hear about alternative views.

"And how can this be answered mathematically"? WTF does this question mean? Where does it come from, in terms of his lecture? Some one please me?

[@pamulahwilliams1744]

This came up in my algorithms 😊. I'm a tad confused. Who is this scholar that was speaking 🔊 🤔. The Elder that you Bro. Jeff was interviewing? I enjoyed the scholarship. But I must disagree and say that some of us Melonated, bronzed in color people were already in these Americas. Respectfully, I'm not here to debate...I enjoyed the dialog inspite of, never the less, even though. I just didn't get clarity on who he was and I was trying to discover if it was somewhere in the description below. Thank you 😊 kindly 🙏 🤲😇.

Thank you for your comment. Here is Muhammad's bio: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foSanox8g5uWhck

@@brothaampah Hi, in the description above it says that he's a mathematician but in that other video in the link he says that he studied chemistry, biology and history, not mathematics.

The scholar is correct in saying that Africans were the first in the Americas. My I respectfully suggest the book "They Came Before Columbus" by Ivan Van Sertima.

@@tl6155 Apparently we were also the first on the Moon, long before N. Armstrong but nobody wants to admit it.
