After being lost in the sea and reaching America thinking that it was India, Còlumbus noted in his journal that some of the native people they met there told them that Black skınned people had come from the south-east in boats, trading in fold-tipped spears. Còlumbus also saw metal goods from West Africa and even got some of them directly from the native Americans. Chèmical analysis from these tips found by Columbus on spears in Amèrican shows that the gold came from Africa. The world was already connected. After the fall of Granada, thousands of Moors left Spain, which had been their home for seven hundred years to avoid living under Spanish yoke. They migrateď to Africa. Some stayed at the North African coast and improved their knowledge of navigation. That knowledge may be the one used by Emperor Abubakari II to reach America. Most ancient civilizations had already circùmnavigated the globe. They just did not make of it a big dèal claiming that they had discọvered it.
