The first statues of deities across the world were African. In India, the first statues of the Indi-Kush pantheon were represented with dark skin (Krishna, Kali etc,,) and before Buddha looked like a Chinese, he had obvious African features like dark skin and bantu knots and was worshiped as such throughout Asia.
In Mexico, the Aztecs and the first divinities were represented with melanated skins, such as for example Ixtlilton (Little Black) comparable to Bes. In Kemet, several early Neteru were also depicted with melanated skin, so the further back you go in the history of the Nile Delta the more Negroid the statues become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Vietnam, the first statues of the Vietnamese pantheon were also represented with a very dark skin like for example Vishnu or Champa, and in this connection, the Chinese called the Empire Champa or the people of Cham, now known under the name of VietNam; the country of the Black Men. In Thailand, the first statues of the Thai Pantheon were also represented with dark skin and the old representation of Buddha had a very dark complexion and Africanid features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Greece itself, which is regarded as the founder of European civilization, the first statues of the Greek pantheon were represented with dark skin such as Afrodite, Heracles and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Rome, many important deities were also represented with dark skin such as Hermes or Isis. Even the first Chinese statues were represented in the same Africoid mold. In Cambodia, Angkor Wat is a temple that was built in the 12th century by the Khmer king;
Suryavarman and it is still considered the greatest religious monument in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first representations of the Virgin and her Son were black, and they were revered as such throughout Europe until the idea of white supremacy arose. Russia and Poland still love the original images even if little by little the same bleaching phenomenon is gaining ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
