Interesting that chocolate has its modern ‘historically recorded’ origins in the place where Olmecs came, and where the Olmecs most likely came from. If you launch from the Ivory Coast, then Central America looks like a destination.
this is in alignment with Mayan history and trails that lead to Atlantis. So, chocolate may be a big clue to tracing the past. The ancient universities John Henrik Clarke spoke of may be another.
In West Africa the French have secured zones for the trade of cocao nibs to the betterment of everyone. One of their best efforts. The locals seem to enjoy the :Pax Cocao”.
