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.
@@courtneywalcott513 it’s frustrating and difficult to even discuss these topics of African / west African history without being immediately shut down and have the label of Afro centrism attached to it without even having a proper rational discussion about it, it’s so counter productive to just disregard thousands of years of history because of modern day political beliefs and bias. Why is the whole world so against the idea of a pre Colombian African presence in the Americas I just don’t understand it.
A few me parish dat big up St Best love the country of my birth love my parish too thank you so much for your profile much appreciated stay blessed my brother nuf respect peace and love to you
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.
Alexx, I have been hopscotching all over UTube and practically abandoned Elite Jamaica! Then I just watched your Banana vlog on Vintage Jamaica and loved it so much(my father was a Tallyman in 50's and 60's) and trying to write a comment, I discovered it was your Vlog. So I got unto your Channel and saw the wealth of Vlogs you had put in! Great Job❗️ I AM NOW BACK❗️😄 I have nuff catching up to do! Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea maxima Mea culpa❗️❤️
@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.❤️
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.
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.
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.❤
This is a Great video! I wish they taught this in school. I live in Florida, and our governor banned teaching about black history in schools, so they are taught the Columbus f#ckery. I wish more people cared about teaching the truth and real black history, not just about slavery, but also about all the great nations of Africa. Your video should be part of the Jamaican school curriculum. Thank you for spreading truth!
Alpart wasn’t one of the largest bauxite companies in Jamaica, it was the largest in Jamaica and the world at one time and was about the second or third largest when it closed in the 2000s
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
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.
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
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
Baxite been shipped to england BC befor colombus, these people only took over allready exsiting trsde routes sugarcsne corn pineapple etc, pine apple was the most expensive food in uk in victorian times how did it get there before colombus???
I looked at flat bridge & the stone crash barriers & compared them to mexico pyramids stone construction, not only that it looks way older than the 3500 year old spanish bridge, the islands people were the first to have concrete in the world thats why cement is used on the crash barriers unlike mexicos stone pyramids, Its called conch rete conch shell is the original concrete that built flat bridge, Kingston harbour & port royal are ancient construction man made The port sank because it un natural, & today is the blueprint for dubia's construction, everything is dated to AC after colombus, Question all dates, gp was there before colombus came, aqua ducts train line & electricity, was all there already, the british train line is west indian we built it before slavery then they sent us back as slaves from europe not africa, the evidence is there if you look,,,
Stop yuh lies !!! and go do your DNA test and si waa part a ireland you come from . The Irish came as slave drivers and plantation overseers for the british slave plantations and missionaries to force religion upon the Enslaved Africans in jamaica and elswhere , the irsh were white indentured servants under the british . Columbus was actully a portugese working for the spanish govt and onboard he also had African conscripts one was the ship caprain called Estvenico and another African from north Africa name Juan Garrido who introduced wheat to mexico and America now go yuh research on real facts please
All Island and the America had all types of tribal native Indians. Columbus was saw all other islands when he landed on Haiti and saw the island of Jamaica, no history said he landed on it. Stop stirring. Read the history with understanding.
He did not land on American soil, but He definitely landed in Jamaica, Two times in fact and there is evidence to prove that, I am not stirring, these videos are for people like you who only READ but don't understand then perpetuate a false narrative. Anyway thanks for watching

Alpart wasn’t one of the largest bauxite companies in Jamaica, it was the largest in Jamaica and the world at one time and was about the second or third largest when it closed in the 2000s
One thing I know for certain is St Elizabeth possesses some of the prettiest brown skinned women In Jamaica.!!
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
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.
@EliteJamaica if you know please say each one teach one.
Video coming up has that information
Appleton Estate & Revere

Thank you for another educational video. However, I didn't hear anything about the strong German presence. Thank you again.

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
Baxite been shipped to england BC befor colombus, these people only took over allready exsiting trsde routes sugarcsne corn pineapple etc, pine apple was the most expensive food in uk in victorian times how did it get there before colombus???
He didn't discover anything. He was lost hungry and thristy. Facts
Musgrave or mulgrave
st elizabeth me come from a place name leeds↙
You forget to mention Middle Quarters, the shrimp country...
I looked at flat bridge & the stone crash barriers & compared them to mexico pyramids stone construction, not only that it looks way older than the 3500 year old spanish bridge, the islands people were the first to have concrete in the world thats why cement is used on the crash barriers unlike mexicos stone pyramids,
Its called conch rete conch shell is the original concrete that built flat bridge,
Kingston harbour & port royal are ancient construction man made
The port sank because it un natural, & today is the blueprint for dubia's construction, everything is dated to AC after colombus,
Question all dates, gp was there before colombus came, aqua ducts train line & electricity, was all there already, the british train line is west indian we built it before slavery then they sent us back as slaves from europe not africa, the evidence is there if you look,,,
Maroons are sell out
You left out the arrival of the Germans that was brought there
All of that coming in follow up videos
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.
Stop yuh lies !!! and go do your DNA test and si waa part a ireland you come from . The Irish came as slave drivers and plantation overseers for the british slave plantations and missionaries to force religion upon the Enslaved Africans in jamaica and elswhere , the irsh were white indentured servants under the british .
