Kemetica Americana
Hidden Heritage
by @nathanjtaylor 

More than a myth but still a mystery of American mounds, pyramids, written in ancient Hebrew and hieroglyphics. Thousands of years before Columbus, and the birth of Christ people from the continent now known as Africa came to the Americas. With routes of trade across the Atlantic Ocean, most popular was African gold-tipped spears and American tobacco. Over time there was an exchange of culture, alliances, intermarriage and migration continued. Religious and spiritual influences like the feather representing the Spirit or Ka and soul was passed on from the ancient to the new. A hidden heritage with clues found in Africa and America. 

Informational Sources: Africa and the discovery of America. 1922.Vols. I-III. By Leo Weiner (Harvard University). They Came Before Columbus. By Ivan Van Sertima.
