The moors were behind the Spanish discovery of the Americas.
I heard of this but never found any solid sources. If you can add I would appreciate it.

A Different Narrative
Banned
From what I've been researching about the Americas...some of those Moors specifically some of the Berbers may have been from America...I mean isn't odd that the same year the Moors were pushed out of Europe in 1492 which is the same year Columbus "supposedly" discovered America.
An elegantly armored black warrior resolutely charges forth, astride a mythical beast drawn straight from Greek mythology. He holds aloft an elaborate crown, a symbol of dominion over the sea.
The attire of the male figures in the picture is not your typical desert/Moor clothing. When I began researching about the Moors I came across some interesting artifacts, paintings, and other materials that relates to Ancient America the things we don't learn about.
Blackamoor Indians
You'll notice that these people are either wearing the Moorish headwrap or turbans. The Indians in India wear turbans that is one of the reasons the natives were mistaken for Indians plus their dark skin like the Indians. Europeans also called the island known as Papua New Guinea, Indonesia which means Indian Island. Indonesia is full of indigenous negroes.

Mayan painting with Mayans wearing turbans
Tiepolo's painting of the Planet and the Four Continents....this is his painting of America the original that did not get painted on the ceiling of that one place (I forgot the place but you know these cacs had painters paint on the ceilings and ish....). Some of these guys are also wearing turbans and resemble the moors on those tobacco posters especially the nikka with the pointy ass turban
More Artifacts
Silver, driven, cast, chiselled, gilded. Nautilus housing carved. Over wide standring the beaded stand with plastically driven decor of Dutch tulips. Extended disc attachment with cast figure of an Indian armed with arrow and bow. On its turban is the Nautilus housing with Asian carved decoration, which is also allegedly mounted. Minimal rest.

Good thread, while the majority of 'Moors' were Berbers, the umayyads still ruled over Al-Andalus until 11th century.
Yes true, but like I said it was called "Moorish Spain" for a reason. Many of the government officials there were Moors. The Umayyads gave the Moors to "manage" Al-Andalus.
