Following in quotations is primarily, now wholly, excerpts:
SHANIDAR CAVE: “The Shanidar Cave site in Iraq is most famous
for two of its skeletons called Shanidar I and Shanidar IV. The
first adult Neanderthaler found in Shanidar Cave, Shanidar I, was
buried in the earth for at least 44,000 years … Of all the skeletons
found at the cave, it is Shanidar IV above which provides the best
evidence for the African features of at least some Neanderthal. The
skeleton of an adult male aged between 30-45 years was discovered in
1960 … In two of the soil samples in particular, whole clumps of
pollen were discovered … all of which have long-known curative
powers as diuretics, stimulants, astringents as well as anti-
inflammatory properties. This led to the idea that the man could
possibly have had shamanic powers, perhaps acting as medicine man to
the Shanidar Neandertals.”
ETHNICITY: While popular imagination portrays Neanderthal as white as
seen in the insert in the lower right hand side of the skull above,
Homo
Neanderthalensis as seen above is clearly African in physical features
with
pouting lips,a full nose & mouth, & a Negro trait of a protruding
lower jaw - is
prognathic. (continued below web page)
JEWELRY: A necklace made by Neanderthal was found in the Arcy sur
Cave
in the Burgundy region of France which would one day see a plethora of
Black
Madonnas, Christs, disciples of Christ, and saints during the era of
the Holy
Roman Empire and extending into the early Middle Ages. The necklace is
an
ornament made from animal bone and teeth from 33,000 to 30,000 years
ago.

MAGAZINE PURPOSE AND NAVIGATION: based on physical
artefacts (hard evidence) to present a pictorial image of Africa’s
Golden Age; a time before Columbus, before Christ, and before
the spread of the Indo-European peoples. An age where Africans,
as the woolly-haired people, were on every continent of the earth;
and the world was itself, thus, Africa. The pages prove this. To get
a quick overview, take 10x10; 10 minutes perusing 10 pages (non-stop)

nutshell and get a bird’s-eyeview. You can gain a comprehension of
BeforeBC enabling a later return for a more studied review.
