As we have irrefutably established,ancient Africans were present worldwide. In the case of the Shang in early China,their settling is explained by overland migration from Sumeria. But how did Africans reach the Americas and the Pacific? In many cases they sailed. Both riverine craft as the 8000 year old Maiduguri canoe show and sea going vessels existed.The former is particularly intersting because at the time European models were less streamlined with blunt ends. First of all :rofl :rofl    Sorry to burst your bubble but simple put these:   http://modblog.bmezine.com/wp-conten...n-ethiopia.jpg  Do NOT build these:   http://www.artsales.com/ARTistory/An...Oblique_75.jpg    When you guys are going to bit the bullet and stop claiming the little technology left by Arabian traders/conquerers in Africa as African Inventions? :rolleyes:
