'Is it not strange that it is in this very period when the Negro-African begins to appear in Mexico and to affect significantly the Olmec culture that the first pyramids, mummies, trepanned skulls, stelae and hieroglyphs begin to appear in America? Is it not strange that it is during this very period that a Negro-African (25th) dynasty gains ascendency in Egypt and Black pharaohs don the plumed serpent crown of Upper and Lower Egypt? No mummies, no pyramids, appear in the Western hemisphere during the heyday of these things in the Egyptian world, But suddenly they spring up in full flower at the same point in time as the Negro-Nubians usher in an Egyptian cultural renaissance Restoring these features that had long lapsed in Egypt and for which there are no evolutionary precedents in America.'
