THANK YOU! I am so tired of reading the Olmecs were black. I've known for years what their true origins were - ever since I read PALE INK, a translation of the ancient Chinese Classic of the Mountans and the Seas, by Henrietta Mertz. I found it interesting that the article mentioned it, too ...

"In China, some people have also inferred from ancient records that the Chinese discovered America. For instance, the Liang Shu (History of the Liang) from the 7th century AD mentions that in the Southern Dynasties period a monk named Huishen crossed the ocean and discovered a land named "Fusang," which Liang Qichao (1873-1929) believed to be today's Mexico. Others have tried to match the places described in the legends of the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) with individual locations in the Americas."
