The Black Egyptians--Original Settlers of Kemet
	
		
	

The Black Egyptians are the original settlers of KMT. "The native Sudanese are one of the original pigmented Arabs in that region. They are members of the same ethnic family with the ancient Egyptians, the Ethiopians, the Southern Arabians, and the primitive inhabitants of Babylon. All founders and sustainers of the mighty Nilotic civilization we still admire today.  They are very great nation of Blacks, who did rule almost over all Africa and Asia in a very remote era, in fact beyond the reach of history of any of our records.

Egypt is a Greek word meaning “Black.”
bullet	The Egyptians of the Bible were Negroid.
bullet	The Bible says both Egyptians and Ethiopians are descendants of Ham.
bullet	Arabs invaded Egypt in the 7th Century AD; Remember, Egypt wasn't invaded by Rome until 300 BC.  The Bible dates 4000 BC.
bullet	Therefore, Arabs have no more connection to Ancient Egypt than Europeans have to Ancient America.
bullet	Egyptian is an Afro-Asiatic language.  (AFRO, AFRO)
bullet	The national language of modern day Egypt is Egyptian Arabic, which gradually replaced Coptic.  (Coptic--Ethiopia)
bullet	

Black Egyptians were eventually mixed with invading Libyans, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Turks, Arabs and Western Europeans.  That is where the mixed people of the modern-day Arabs come from.

 

The following is supporting evidence from The African Origin of Civilization:  by:  Cheikh Anta Diop

 

    Evidence from Physical Anthropology
    The skeletons and skulls of the Ancient Egyptians clearly reflect they were Negroid people with features very similar to those of modern Black Nubians and other people of the Upper Nile and of East Africa.
     
    Melanin Dosage Test
    Egyptologist Cheikh Anta Diop invented a method for determining the level of melanin in the skin of human beings. When conducted on Egyptian mummies in the Museum of Man in Paris, this test indicated these remains were of Black people.
     
    Osteological Evidence
    "Lepsius canon," which distinguishes the bodily proportions of various racial groups categories the "ideal Egyptian" as "short-armed and of Negroid or Negrito physical type."
     
    Evidence From Blood Types
    Diop notes that even after hundreds of years of inter-mixture with foreign invaders, the blood type of modern Egyptians is the "same group B as the populations of western Africa on the Atlantic seaboard and not the A2 Group characteristic of the white race prior to any crossbreeding."
     
    The Egyptians as They Saw Themselves
    "The Egyptians had only one term to designate themselves =kmt= the Negroes (literally). This is the strongest term existing in the Pharaonic tongue to indicate blackness; it is accordingly written with a hieroglyph representing a length of wood charred at the end and not crocodile scales," singular. ‘Kmt’ from the adjective =kmt= black; it therefore means strictly Negroes or at the very least black men. The term is a collective noun which thus described the whole people of Pharaonic Egypt as a black people."
     
    Divine Epithets
    Diop demonstrates that "black or Negro" is the divine epithet invariably used for the chief beneficent Gods of Egypt, while the evil spirits were depicted as red.
     

    Evidence From the Bible

    The Bible states"…[t]he sons of Ham [were] Cush and Mizraim [i.e. Egypt], and Phut, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah and Sabtechah." According to Biblical tradition, Ham, of course, was the father of the Black race. "Generally speaking all Semitic tradition (Jewish and Arab) class ancient Egypt with the countries of the Black."

    Cultural unity of Egypt With The Rest of Africa
    Through a study of circumcision and totemism.  Diop gives detailed data showing cultural unity between Egypt and the rest of Africa.
     
    Linguistic Unity With Southern and Western Africa
    In a detailed study of languages, Diop clearly demonstrates that Ancient Egyptian, modern Coptic of Egypt and Walaf of West Africa are related, with the latter two having their origin in the former.
     
    Testimony of Classical Greek and Roman Authors
    Virtually all of the early Latin eyewitnesses described the Ancient Egyptians as Black skinned with wooly hair.

After the conquest of Egypt by Alexander, under the Ptolemies, crossbreeding between white Greeks and black Egyptians flourished.  "Nowhere was Dionysus more favored, nowhere was he worshiped more adoringly and more elaborately than by the Ptolemies, who recognized his cult as an especially effective means of promoting the assimilation of the conquering Greeks and their fusion with the native Egyptians." {Endnote 15: J. J. Bachofen, Pages choisies par Adrien Turel, "Du Regne de la mere au patriarcat." Paris: F. Alcan, 1938, p. 89.}

These facts prove that if the Egyptian people had originally been white, it might well have remained so. If Herodotus found it still black after so much crossbreeding, it must have been basic black at the start.

Before examining the contradictions circulating in the modern era and resulting from attempts to prove at any price that the Egyptians were Whites, let us note the comments of Count Constantin de Volney (1757-1820). After being imbued with all the prejudices we have just mentioned with regard to the Negro, Volney had gone to Egypt between 1783 and 1785, he reported the Egyptian Race is the very race that had produced the Pharaohs: the Copts (p. 27).

“All have a bloated face, puffed up eyes, flat nose, and thick lips; in a word, the true face of the mulatto. I was tempted to attribute it to the climate, but when I visited the Sphinx; its appearance gave me the key to the riddle. On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered the remarkable passage where Herodotus says: "As for me, I judge the Colchians to be a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, they are black with woolly hair. ..." We can see how their blood, mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining nonetheless the imprint of its original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of peoples. {End quote}

When Egypt was invaded by Arabs - Egypt suffered turbulent times when, in 609 AD, the country had sided with Nicetas, a lieutenant of Heraclius, in the rebellion against the emperor Phocas. Only shortly after Heraclius overthrew Phocas, the Byzantines were attacked by the Persians. The armies of the Sasanid King Khosrau II invaded Egypt, inflicting cruel suffering upon its some of its inhabitants. This Persian occupation lasted six years.

African Antiquity



In the Beginning...
 

Narmer (Menes) The 1st Pharaoh of  Egypt

(Fig 5  - Diop Cheikh Anta, The African Origin of Civilization, 1974)


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 become 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.

Thus, we now have: "Theorem of Pythagoras", "Thales'Axiom" among many illegal appropriations of the African sciences of geometry, mathematics, architecture, rhetoric and philosophy. Those operative sciences have been invented and implemented in the heart of Africa, thousands of years before the Greeks and Romans came into existence as a distinct race!

That saga continues today with the renaming of African scientific papyri such as the "Rhind Papyri" and the "Moscow mathematical Papyri". Those Papyri and their scientific content were produced and elaborated thousands of years before Rhind's people were born. Eastern Europe was still under the ice-age with barbaric people. Moscow, nor any of its founders, were even in existence at the time.

Since mankind originated first in Africa, it was necessarily black before becoming white through mutation and adaptation, at the end of the last ice-age in Europe. Scholars both ancient and modern have finally come to the conclusion that, the African people created the world first civilization. Our ancestors did rule the world from its seats of power, enthroned from the valley of the Granges, the Tigris and Euphrates, to the Nile and Niger Rivers.

UN recognises Rastafari
Move praised, criticised

By SAM PRAGG

A move by the United Nations to grant consultative status to the international Rastafarian movement is coming in for criticism and praise across Jamaica.

"Now I know for sure that the United Nations has nothing to do.  The Rastas are a bunch of indisciplined criminals and the UN is recognising them as a social and religious entity.  What is the world corning to?" grumbled store clerk, John Harris, when the news first hit.

Not so, says sociologist, Barry Chevannes, widely regarded as having written the most definitive work on the movement since it first became a force to be reckoned with in the 1930s.

"No prophet is without honour in his own country.  While international bodies are recognising the achievements of the Rastafarian movement, back home they can't even get recognition from a lot of local organisations.  Other religious movements with a smaller following and limited appeal are embraced by the authorities than Rastafarianism," says Chevannes, a university lecturer.

On November 14 the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations approved the consulative status of the International Rastafarian Development Society as a non-governmental organization (NGO).

The group was one of 86 organisations approved, including the right-wing US National Rifle Association and the Liberal American Civil Liberties Union.  They have all been invited to work with all UN subsidiary bodies as NGOs, including all economic, social, humanitarian, technical, scientific and educational bodies.

The recognition comes at a time when the Rastafari community is lobbying government to legalise the use of ganja for use as a religious sacrament.  But yesterday, prominent members of the Rastafari community were unaware of the recognition by the world body or what it meant for the local movement.

"Whatever recognition that is given can only assist the Rastafarian movement as a respected organisation.  We would expect them to work towards the general principle and aims of the movement," attorney-at-law, Sandra Alcott, said.

Singer, Freddie McGregor, praised the UN decision. "Any move that is made by an international organisation that would enhance the upliftment of the movement is welcome.  Things, have started to turn around, so there had to be a change," he said.

Chevannes calls the move an extremely significant break with tradition.

"Any incorporation of the Rastafarian movement at that level is tantamount to bestowing legitimacy.  (But) there are some within the movement who will see it as a watering down of the message," says Chevannes.

One young Rastafarian who calls himself Ras Silver agrees with Chevannes.  "Anything with a flavour of Rasta is good.  The Rastafarian movement is growing rapidly and now is the time for the brethren to get together.  Our small tree has become a large one, and it is now beginning to bear fruit," he says.

"In the past, we were timid of Babylon. Our movement was young then and we did not trust Babylon.  Now that a number of our brethren have profited in the system in spite of Babylon, we are bolder now," said Ras Silver, a graduate of the University of the West Indies.

Partly because of their sour relations with the police force and partly because of Garveyism, the Rastafarian doctrine arose in the 1930s stating the inevitability of the transformation which would climax with the destruction of Babylon and return of blacks to the motherland, Africa.

The term Babylon covers the western world, the church and government, as agents of imperialism.

Capitalism is seen as the system of Babylon. Today, among the younger members of the movement "Babylon" has become synonymous with the police force.

Ras Silver says the Rastafarian movement needs a good internal government in order to gain strength, and he believes that this form of international recognition is a stepping stone to that goal.

"There are a lot of Rastas who share the views of Ras Silver," says Chevannes.

Writers disagree on the exact date of the emergence of this movement, some going as far back as the 19th century.  They all agree, however, that Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), played a significant role in its development.

The main tenets of the movement are based on several of Garvey's teachings, and it was the notorious Garvey who in the 1920s is said to have ignited the sparks of the Rastafarian fire.

Garvey was concerned with what he described as the negro's inferiority complex and made a number of predictions about the greatness of the black man.

"Look to Africa when a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is near," Garvey is reported to have said in one of his famous speeches.  In 1930 Ras Tafari was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia, taking the name Haile Selassie and many followers of Garvey felt that the prophecy was fulfilled and the Rastafarian movement was formed.

They believe that repatriation -- the miraculous return to Ethiopia by the supernatural power of the King -- is the way of redemption for all blacks.

Blacks are Africans and neither the Jamaican nor any other government has authority to rule over them.  The only true government is that of Selassie, many still believe.

To many of those who hold firmly to these beliefs, the move by ECOSOC is not a step in the right direction.

"I an I just meditate within myself and I an I have nothing to do with the politicians and their creed," says Ras Mackonnen, an elder statesman of the movement.

"They are the Scribes and Pharisees that are seeking to bring down the true followers."

Rastafarians regard man as God, hence the "I" and "I" construction referring to "I" the God and "I" the man.

But the younger and more militant members of the movement have added a new principle to their beliefs, said to have originated during the visit of Selassie to Jamaica in 1966.  Selassie is reported to have said that Rastafarians should liberate themselves in Jamaica before they repatriate, giving birth to a group which seems more prepared to enter into a socio-political struggle with the government.

"We have to take command of our destiny. Until we can come together and govern ourselves, we are going nowhere," says Ras Dawit Tewdoros.

And in all of this Chevannes believes that Jamaica needs to "catch up" with the rest of the world and recognise Rastafarianism for what it is -- a religion.

"The more recognition the Rastafarian movement gets from abroad, the more approval they will get at home.  It is unfortunate, but if that is the way they will get accepted, then it is inevitable," he says.
