According to the writings of Sahagun, a Spanish Monk, who studied and translated the works of the Maya Indians of Mexico, ancient Africans arrived in Mexico thousands of years ago from the Atlantic region. They were led by a Black African, called Meci, who led a fleet of eight ships. Meci is said to have established African language, religion and culture in Mexico and settled the southern region of Mexico between the Yucatan and Mexico City.
