I hear, you, but a Griot can only go back so far back in memory w/ history.
Carbon dating goes back to the creation of the Universe itself.
I understand what you say,but carbon dating is physical evidences,ancestral memories is spiritual evidences,so nowadays we need both.But let think about this:which method is better?Digging the soil in search of fossils and using so called chemical methods OR Going back to the past by yourself via your ancestors?I rather visit the past,then i will see the truth by myself,no more speculation about who were who,who created this who originated that etc...YOU SEE THE STUFF BY YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED IN THIS ERA.It's like the atom,they will always find older bones or artifacts(im sure they hide a lot of evidences which destroy their dogmas) and so on etc...The truth is that Earth is much older that they want make us to believe and most important the Black man is much older than they say.
We know that our planet is a living entity,in blackroots science it say that the planet experiences a complete "overhaul" of its continents every 700 000 years which involve cataclysms that totally rearrange the continents.
Basically i will not underestimated the power of our mind,ask the Dogon how they get this knowledge!
