There are actual buildings, theatres, palaces, and temples that existed
in 3,000 B. C., and were mere guess work in Homer’s time. What has been
unearthed shows that there was communication between Crete and Egypt
2,000 years before Christ. One of the frescoes found shows some
religious ceremonial in the Egyptian style. Some of the priestesses are
black, others white, and the connection between African and Cretan
civilization as to dates will soon be settled.
Enough appears to show that there were two great civilizations at a very
early time, that in the Nile country begun and maintained by black men,
and the other in Crete. The Cretans seem to have been a dark race,
rather small, with regular, almost Greek profiles and full lips.
Nothing has been found in this newly discovered cradle of the human race
to indicate that civilization came to them or to Africa from Asia,
whence it has always been thought all knowledge originated.
Everything so far unearthed in Crete and in the Soudan, favors the
theory that all around the Mediterranean there arose in the stone age a
common race of men, who in the course of centuries developed differing
physical characteristics, and they peopled Europe and Africa where the
first civilizations arose in Crete and the Soudan.
There is tremendous food for thought in these discoveries. It may
transpire after all is discovered the Colored American descended from
the African, the Hamitic, or the Negro—call him anything, it will not
harm his ancestry—is in fact descended from a superior race of people.
While the colored race do not care for any admixture of their blood with
the Aryan, the latter need have no fear that it will ever be forced upon
him.
