Sad verification. So, our ancestors were well aquatinted with the cultivation of rice and other industrial trades! Hmm, weren't it said that they were savages and unintelligent? Apparently, the masters were the ones on the learning level. History is interesting and very revealing.
I so agree.... Then they said that Africans were 3/5 human yet they had sex with them, created babies with them. Faulty logic. I hope they are burrning in hell for all eternity.
