First Africans in America
King Ramses III of ancient Egypt
While there have been many tales of African sailors in the americas and Africans living among the native Americans before the arrival of Columbus the most well known account starts Back in 445 B.C.,when the Greek historian Herodotus wrote of King Ramses III leading a team of Africans at sea with astounding seafaring and navigational skills. Together, both accounts would point to Africans sailing over to the New World before Columbus. Even Columbus himself noted in his journal that the Native Americans confirmed “black skinned people had come from the south-east in boats, trading in gold-tipped spears.” It was found also that the ratio of properties of gold, copper, and silver alloy were identical to the spears then being forged in African Guinea.
