Yes Columbus himself said that the natives he met in the Caribbean carried gold tipped spears which the natives said they traded with dark skinned sea men from what we know now was west Africa. Columbus had the gold tested and it proved it was the same gold composition as that In Guinea. I don’t think Columbus himself had any doubt that west african traders had made contact earlier it’s just the people who write the text books today that don’t tell the true story. Did you know there was a west African emperor named mansa abubakari of the kingdom of Mali who is said to of travelled to America with a fleet of ships of over 2000! Also did you know the oldest human remains found on the American continental named luzia was a west African woman. If anyone wants to learn more about any of the this I would recommend reading Ivan Van Sertimer - They Came Before Columbus
This theory hasn’t been proven it’s still being hypothesised. I personally want it to be true but we need to continue the research into this. We don’t need it to be classed as Afrocentric, instead we need it to be considered as fact.
I admire your attempts to teach us more but you’ve left out so much stuff. I done my dna and that leads you to explore and research things discovered. Eg I have hundreds of USA cousins both black and white with no known connection to Jamaica. The slaves didn’t all arrive directly from Africa some of us got here from areas like North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. St Elizabeth and its connections to Scottish slave owners seems to be ignored. This story lacks depth and substance.
Study uk history and you will be shocked of the west indian presence pre colombus, we had sweet corn, pineapple, & tobacoo, trading all over uk pre colombus they took over our trades & our plantations which was already suppling other nations, this is how the rest of the world got tobaco.
@EliteJamaica Thank you so much for this informative and important work. I would love to know more about the Parish of Manchester. Will you be doing profiles of the other Parishes?
@@EliteJamaicaThat’s fantastic! I look forward to learning about all, especially Manchester and thank you again for all the research and hard work you put into your videos.❤️
Thank you for your information on the beautiful parish of my birth.Queensbury Southfield St.Elizabeth . You failed to mention Colin Powel who resided here in the USA.
I remember my Social Studies teacher in my high school days once told me that Christopher Columbus did not discovered Jamaica but only visited it especially when one of his ships damaged and had to repair it.
Yes there was a lot of information, 226 pages to be exact had to break it down, however I am contemplating doing a video about the German roots, and the real history of the Maroons. Thanks or watching
Take me home country road. Thank you for this journey, from the plains of Pedro,Alligators pond my childhoods playground,Alpart the home of my ancestors and my home town down in the valley surrounded by those majestic mountains, the rich history and beautiful landscape. Thank you.❤
Christopher Columbus did not discover anywhere on this planet. The Maroons or the Moors introduce Columbus to the Caribbean and America. We need to learn more about the Moors who the British called Maroons meaning wild dogs. Even the Portuguese were in Jamaica before Columbus. The Maroon Bible is being kept in a museum in England. Please hand over the Maroon Bible to the Jamaican people.
if the maroons were indeed there before columbus’s arrival wouldn’t they have had their own language that should have survived to this day?…the british did recorded them as being collaborators
The maroons are the African's who meet up with the tanio and mix taino Indian in the Mountain create the different set of maroon throughout the island. When the Spanish start bring slave. On the 4 trip to jamaica after meeting the taino and tell the royal family the king there people over there

What part did steel drums play in St Bess.
We all have been lied to. Portuguese did not bring any slaves from Africa to Jamaica. Majority of Jamaicans are Irish. Do your research people.
Big up Musgrave st Elizabeth

They do have a language
So how comes the enslaved African don't have their own languages to this day ?
You have to remember just as in the bible they were forced to loose their languages and identity.
Mulgrave. St elizabeth. Here
The maroons are the African's who meet up with the tanio and mix taino Indian in the Mountain create the different set of maroon throughout the island. When the Spanish start bring slave. On the 4 trip to jamaica after meeting the taino and tell the royal family the king there people over there
