proof?
You are asking for proof of a time period when writing didn't exist. Its common sense. I find it funny when people are like "why were all the ancient cultures so similar"

I've only ever seen Krishna with blue skin, isn't he described to be "dark like a rain cloud"? That's bluish-grey. Not a humanly color.

Damn your comprehension is below standard darg
Could have added any bits of information to back up your first statement or go further in depth

The Buddha pre-dates Jesus. Yes Africa had tons of religions but yet no one has found a single one which is similar to Buddhism. You're claiming this but it's not proof of anything. The Egyptian idea of life and and rebirth is different than the Buddhist idea though . The Book of the dead has the concept of the transmigration of the soul through spiritual realms but not of a bodily return. There are fairer skinned untouchables too.
There is no Muslim Caste system tho
I see the point you're making though. There is an intertwine between cultural norms and religion.
Bad choice of wording. I meant Muslims in India are following the caste system too, it's not a solely Hindu thing.
The Sanskirt word Krishna literally means black. Krishna is depicted as both black and blue. I haven't heard the "dark like a rain cloud" saying before.
What you want me to tell you?
The Sphinx has been found as far as Turkey
Horus-Jesus-Buddha are all very simila
Pyramids and very specific African gods being found in Mesoamerica
Flood myths in a ton of religions coincide with the Wet Sahara
Most of it is commonsense though
The point totally skipped you. I can't help someone who is lost.

You've provided no evidence to back up your initial claim. You're now claiming this which doesn't even make sense

but some how I'm the lost one?
I'm a "practicing" Taoist. Think it's the most neutral, bare bones, look at the universe.

You seem to think that not only did the Africans not have religion prior to migrating but that the migrants didn't retell them orally. Distortion happens when you preserve orally. I feel bad for you.

Where did I state this? All I'm asking for is some evidence for the claims you're making. I just one want the name of an African religion that was similar to Buddhism and it's practices.

Creep.
Which were just anthropomorphized astronomy to begin with.
@observe already answered that
The Europeans already let us know what time it was when it came to Ancient Egyptian religion and knowledge
Also Sumerian culture was damn near identical to Egyptian culture and that was in Turkey so what makes you think people who traveled further didn't attempt to keep the same knowledge?
