"It is indisputable that in very ancient times the Negro race occupied our territory [Mexico]." -- Vicente Riva Palacio, historian, 1870
"In Aztec mythohistory, the Olmecs were known as ‘the people who lived in the direction of the rising sun’...." -- Victor W. Von Hagen, archaeologist, The Ancient Sun Kingdoms of the Americas, 1957
"Remember that, just like in Egypt, a great [Olmec] civilization flourished and then died. And then people forgot all about it. The pyramids lay under the sand, the sphinx lay under the sand, something stood there like enigmatic witnesses of a glorious past, but many people continued to live for centuries without recovering the majesty of that civilization, without being able to go back to their roots." -- Ivan Van Sertima, historian, 1976
"They didn't believe black Africa was capable of producing high civilization." -- Timothy Kendall, archaeologist, The Nile's Other Kingdom, September 15th 1997

The never ending display coast to coast of "PROOF" WE WERE/ARE HERE only stands against the logic of a mind set on non-acceptance for whatever reason they conjure up!! But the end result of knowledge of (resistance),"wattage/unit of power, would be discovered by the very culture "Ohms" who in this age deciphered what these monuments Present to this world stage!!
