King Aha-Mena-Narmer is known by millions of people
by the Greek-distorted "version" of his name: King Menes. Notice the
African features from his high chick bones, flat nose and thick lips. The
Kufi/Crown upon his head is a sign of royal authority. King Aha-Mena-Narmer is
the founding King of the first Ancient Egyptian dynasty. He also became the
first Emperor of Kemet by unifying Upper and Lower Egypt into one imperial
federation, along the Nile Valley. From its Central-Eastern Kilimanjaro
Mountains sources to the Mediterranean Sea Delta, the Ancient Egyptian Empire
gave birth to the world's first civilization.
Since then, the imperial heritage has been carried
on, from dynasty to dynasty and from generation to generation. Extensive
territory is nothing new to African Kings and Emperors: it is simply a matter
of historical, cultural and imperial continuity. African history and culture
trace their roots back to that pharaonic period, the ultimate source of African
humanities. The same way the European/Western world traces its history and
culture back to Greece and Rome. African human sciences, finally reconciled
with its Ancient Egyptian sources, can retrace the entire history of the
Nation, step-by-step.
On this immemorial timeline, the enslavement and
colonial periods suffered by African people can be considered as little
parenthesis. Yet, the terrible impact of colonial bound mis-education and
cultural conditioning affects many people, Blacks and Whites alike.
Consequently, innocent victims of "schooling" who have lost their
historical memories, now find it hard to believe that, Black people actually
played the earliest civilizing role in the world. That misleading education has
damaged the minds, self-esteem and behavior of many people across racial lines:
"The History of humanity will remain confused
as long as as we fail to distinguish between the two early cradles in which
nature fashioned the instincts, temperament, habits and ethical concepts of the
two subdivisions before they met each other after a long separation, dating
back to prehistoric times..."Cheikh Anta Diop
Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, in his “L’Antiquité Africaine
Par L’Image” (Notes Africaines No Special 145) drew two important conclusions:
Humanity born at the latitude of the African Great
Lakes, near the Ecuador is by necessity pigmented (black) and African. This is
substantiated by Gloger’s Law which states that warm blooded beings are pigmented
in hot and humid climates”. All races are issued from the African race by
direct relationships and, the other continents were peopled from Africa at the
Homo erectus stage, as well as the Homo sapiens stage, which appeared about
150,000 years ago. It has been finally proven that, for a time period beginning
5 million years ago up until the glacial thaw (10,000 years ago), Africa almost
unilaterally peopled and influenced the rest of the world. Dr. Leakey, one of
the world's most reputable paleo-anthropologist, in his serious work “Progress
And Evolution Of Man In Africa”, reminds us that: “
The critics of Africa forget
that men of science are today satisfied that, Africa was the birthplace of man
himself”. Human beings are Africa’s first contribution to humanity. Advanced
research and several studies in prehistory and paleo-anthropology have
confirmed the similarities between the original founders of the pharaonic
civilization (ancient Nubians, Ethiopians and Egyptians) and the modern day
Africans.
Rawlinson concludes in “Origins Of Nations” that:
“The authors of Genesis unites together as members of the same ethnic family
the Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Southern Arabians, and the primitive
inhabitants of Babylon”. According to many ancient testimonies, the inhabitants
of Sudan, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Western Asia and India were Ethiopians,
therefore Africans. Back in that era, there were two lands called Ethiopia. Sir
Godfrey Higgins (Anacalypsis, vol.1) declared: “One on the east of the Red Sea,
and the other on the west of it; and a very great nation of Blacks, from India,
did rule almost over all Asia in a very remote era, in fact beyond the reach of
history of any of our records”.
Herodotus who was initiated within the Ancient
Egyptian mystery system declared that:” The uniform voice of primitive
antiquity spoke of the Ethiopians as one single race, dwelling along the shores
of the southern ocean, from India to the pillars of Hercules”. (Herodotus,
vol.1 book I)
Greece: An Average Student of Ancient Egypt
Dr. Theophile Obenga, in this magisterial book
"African Philosophy in World History" (Obenga,1998), successfully
challenges and neutralizes the Hegelian philosophy of history, continuing in
the footsteps of Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, his mentor.
Hegel alienated the
Caucasian mind by stating with ignorance that "Africa has no
history". That mis-education of the Caucasians led to arrogance with an
unfounded racial superiority belief system. The seven liberal arts and
sciences, which are grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music and
astronomy, come out of Africa.
Therefore, to the Ancient Egyptians, and neither
to the Greeks, nor to the Romans, are we indebted for the present body of human
knowledge. Greece and Rome were average students in Ancient Egypt. Considered
foreigners and childish, Greek students were unable to access a complete
initiation and induction within the Ancient Egyptian Mystery System. Aristotle
of Stagira, Thales of Miletus, Pythagoras of Samos, Diodorus of Sicily, Plato
and Strabo were all initiated in Ancient Egypt, from a very young age until
adulthood. Their eyewitness accounts reflect the fact that they were taught and
instructed by dark skinned teachers born and raised in Africa. Greed, prestige
and reputation made most of them ungrateful, when they claimed all the theories
and theorems, formulas and axioms they learned in Ancient Egypt for themselves.
Most Greek and Roman students of Africa committed plagiarism by signing their
names on their African teachers writings, inventions, creations and
productions.
