My family is from Oaxaca. Zapotec Aztec. My parents don't speak Spanish at home, they speak zapoteco. A little insight- my dad is a very hard worker. He now owns his own business after becoming a master at farming. He has 2 sons, one joined the Marines (me) and the other joined the Army. One son is in school right now to be a doctor, and I am going to the best restaurants in the world as a chef. I think about our blood line a lot. I feel like we have instincts that others just don't have anymore. I also think we have a hidden reservoir of energy. We don't need to eat as often as others. We don't need sleep as others. And maybe it's because of my dad, helping others and having strong family bonds is crucial.

The ancient "Olmecs" of Mexico is one of most intriguing civilizations of the Americas. In fact, they are the first civilization in Mexico and it was from them that all other civilizations in Mesoamerica followed. Yet, the fact that the Olmecs were most likely a Black civilization of African origins has not been made public and the "Indian" elements in Mexico have gained more prominence to the extent that the Negroid substrata of the ancient Mexican/Mesoamerican civilizations has been kept hidden. Yet, over the past many years, various levels of proof have been found linking the "Olmecs" to Africans in the Western part of Africa:

elliott prats they couldn’t create a civilization because the land was not suitable for it. It was probably cooler, more rocky areas. If you consider the continental drift theory(presented by Greeks, but probably discovered through African colonization) different African tribes could be found in many places probably. The olmecs have no traceable dna just statues and such their culture imo closely resembles ancient African civilizations before Roman colonizers. Everyone that came after the olmecs would’ve been living in a different climate after the continents drifted, meaning the land became suitable because the climate was different. And as we all know Aztecs(Spanish Europeans) thrived the land after that. I say no one knows what race the olmecs are, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re actually African

The state of Oaxaca (from where Zapotecs are) is the state with most Mescal varieties. Tequila is the most produced and famous variety of Mescal, but Tequila is from the estate of Jalisco. There is debate about if the destilation methods used to made Mescal came from Spain or the Philippines on colonial times, or if it was developed by mesoamericans independently. Some recent archeological finds on the states of Colima and Tlaxcala point to precolombine destilation.

1. Some 35years back I had read in an essay that people who settled in Mexico had sailed from far East. 2. Around 1977 I had seen a figure in an article in Scientific American depicting Mayan figure which very much looked like Flying Hanuman(from Ramayana story) with a hill in his hand. 3. If one looks into the worship of female God, there is lots of similarity in South American and Indian mythology. 4. In the story of Mahabharata there is mention of heroes going to under world, also called PATALA and getting married. 5. There is similarity in celebrating/worshiping deads. 6. If one looks at the temple architect of South India and that of Aztec, there is lots of similarities. I understand what all these are circumspect points. But more research is needed to investigate the subjects. Indians were also very skilled ship builders and navigators.
