Peace and blessings family. May this message greet you in a spirit of good health, prosperity, and vitality. For those who have been following me for the past year, you know that I've been hinting at the creation of a documentary film based on my and other Africologists' research on the relationship between ancient Kemet (Egypt) and modern Bantu civilizations. Well, today officially marks the start of this movement towards the completion of this documentary series of films, which will expand to include the historical reltionship between West and East Africa. The title of the film is Cyena-Ntu: Ancient Kemet and the NTU Universe. We are currently in the first phase of the project and could use your help. Please review the trailer below and consider donating to the completion of this first phase. Your time, consideration, and contributions are greatly appreciated.
DESCRIPTION: This is the first of a series of campaigns where people can donate and support the film. The objective of this wave of fundraising is to prepare a proof-of-concept trailer, which would include footage from recent interviews and b-footage from our trip to Egypt in February 2022.

Summary details are provided below.
First leg of funding:
- Seeking to raise $5000. - Will allow us to begin ground work for the next major push of funding. - Will result in a proof of concept trailer for second round of funding. - If we can get 500 people to donate $10, our initial goal will have been met.
Funding goes toward:
- Equipment rentals, insurance, travel, etc. - Training and consulting. - Teaching teens filmography and internship. - Marketing. Stock footage. Location costs. - Expenses when filming overseas. - Pay crew and interns. - Legal.
Documentary details (overall project):
Planned to be about 2 hours long. - Visualization of the content of Aaluja Vol. II (2020) and other research. - Desired filming locations: Egypt, Kongo, South Africa, Kenya, and France. - Desired equipment: editing machine, monitors, two cameras, and supporting equipment. - High quality that can be shown on Netflix. - Desire animation and live actors. - Also film mini-docs for distribute for free on Youtube or website with b-roll footage. - Creation of a guidebook and study-guide for the film.

Raspect for your work! I find HILLARIOUS how some people on here chastise me for linking the Bantu to ancient Kham, yet the COWARDS wouldn't dare challenge this. That's how you know we're dealing with some silly folks/payroll-cointel pro people in here. They are going to pretend allll of these connections do not exist between Kham and the Bantu/West African and turn around try to rely on genetics to tell us who are the true inheritors of Kham.

Peace and blessings. Thank you for your commentary. And yes, it is quite sad and this is why projects like this are important so that historians can see the larger framework in which to better understand ancient Egypt. It's a shame that the discussions surrounding ancient Egypt focus on DNA and craniometrics when that tells you the least bit of information regarding the society at large, or its history. The language, culture, historical artwork, and foreign testimonies tell you everything you need to know. DNA would be a bonus if we had thousands of ancient mummies tested with full genome mappings. But we have like less than 10 and people waste time on this forum arguing about these results when statistically the number of these studies in insignificant and insufficient to come to a conclusion. We're a long ways from DNA studies giving us an accurate picture that can be used for a complete historical analysis.

Asar is it your view that dynastic Kemet came out of a Bantu culture that came before it and was already existing in various places in Africa?
or do you consider the opposite to be true, that Bantu culture is Kemet culture, it started in Kemet and that only after the fall of Kemet did they migrate out of Kemet and had their name changed to "Bantu" ? The word Bantu for the language families and its speakers is an artificial term based on the reconstructed Proto-Bantu term for "people" or "humans". It was first introduced (as Bâ-ntu) by German linguist Wilhelm Bleek in 1857 or 1858.
(Bantu, light purple)
What if someone was to prose that the people in these areas are Aboriginal Egyptians and that word "Bantu" was created to make them forget that and they should all be called Kemtians ?
Suppose for instance we went back in time to the places no called "Bantu" speaking regions before the Europeans, they would not be calling themselves Bantus and even the Europeans would not have called them that until around the beginning or a few yeras earlier from the 20th century

In Reply to The Lioness, my argument is that the language group now called "Bantu" and the r-n-km.t language [Middle-Egyptian] belong to the same family, which can be reconstructed to a proto-language I call Cyena-Ntu [i.e., "belonging to Ntu"]. NTU is the name I gave the overall culture and language. In the same way that Meinhof labeled the Ba.Ntu languages by that name because they all carry variants of that same word in their language for "people," the same can be said for Egyptian, which also has a variant of this word. There are three variants of this word in ciKam [Egyptian]:
They all derive from the monosyllabic root [*g/*k >] -D-, which became -z- and further rhotorized into -r-. The n- in w.nD.wt is a prefix of agent from mu-; and this mu- was suffixed in the dialect where z > r, thus giving us r-m. The -T [< *k] is an additional suffix. The -m suffix was prefixed in the dialect that gives us mr.wt "servants; serfs; underlings."
Ba.N.tu = z = wnD.wt = rmT = mr.wt
There is a reason why the Egyptologist Serge Sauneron in his text Priests of Ancient Egypt said the following:
quote:“Thus the revelations of Ogotemmeli, or of ‘Bantu Philosophy’, turn out to contribute precious information which helps us better understand certain aspects of Egyptian religious thought. But in this connection, there is little, if anything, we can expect from a reading of Plato…
It is this aspect of history that will be explored in the film.
The origin of the common culture, we argue, is in the Great Lakes.

is it your view that dynastic Kemet came out of a Bantu culture that came before it and the Bantu culture was already existing in various places in Africa?
or do you consider the opposite to be true, that Bantu culture is Kemet culture, that it starts in Egypt and only disperses into other parts of Africa after the fall of dynastic Kemet? thanks

1) Egyptian and Bantu languages have the same predialectical parent. 2) This language originates, we believe, in the Great Lakes area of East Africa. 3) Egyptian and Bantu are both NTU languages and as a result of coming from the same pre-dialectical parent, they share a common culture, worldview, and language.
NTU is the language of the larger family, we are calling it, as none of Greenberg's classifications have any basis in fact via the comparative method. We've been over this before.

Thanks for your reply
So a parent language existed in in the Great Lakes before Egyptian civilization
How do you classify languages in Sudan and the Horn? Do you consider them all Bantu related or some not?

Yes.

It is too early to try and sub-classify the languages. This is a start from scratch project and so far, we've only been able to identify two major branches called BERE and BEER. More studies have to be done, via a full comparison of languages using the comparative method, before any isoglosses and subranching can occur.
