The Black Greeks




African people are the original people of the planet. They are the creators of all the greatest civililations of the world, including Greece. The "Minoans", migrants from North Africa, were one of the first inhabitants of the Greek island "Crete". They were known for their great fishing skills and were referred to as "Sea Men" They were peaceful people and it is said that they lived a harmonous way of life.
