Although his book is interesting, his eurocentric context is very incorrect. He states in the video that Africans didn't rule over anyone else anywhere in history, well he is a liar, or stupid, not sure which.

1. Egypt ruled over much of the middle east and parts of turkiye. I have even read they extended even further than that.

2. Habasha/Aksum ruled over the middle east for at the very least 500 years and some say even longer. The Quran speaks of this time period in Surat Al Fil.

3. The first set of moors to rule Europe and take European slaves were Africans. The Arabs didn't come until 700 years after the fact.

4. We know Mesopotamia/Elam were Africans most likely kushitic from the language being spoken. Can refer to Rawlinsons' book "memoirs of cuneiform" to further understand what was going on at that time

This guy is the prime example of what Dr. Obenga talked about. We can not trust these people to tell African history. They will tell it from their perspective, which is a very non factual perspective. Even in this video, when he first claims Africans came as traders etc. then he changes his tale to now magically they came as slaves and then some how miraculously became rulers and I call B.S. They word sidi means lord. You do not call a slave a lord! These people and their revisionist history is laughable. I just hope that one day, someone of the Diaspora or from the continent uses this as a stepping stone to further the truth of the matter.

The same needs to be done with Moorish history as well. Someone who knows Spanish inside and out needs to do research on who the moors were and their origin and write their tale. It would also be a good idea to look at the enslavement of Europeans at that time. Will help those who do not know history well to understand, Africans took white and Arab slaves long before the African became a slave. Once you understand this narrative, what happens later in history will become more understandable.

TypeZeiss I also disagree with him on that point above about that being the first time Africans ruling over any other non Africans. the point about slavery well that was a mixed bag and what does slave mean in some context,generally they were not domestic or agricultural slaves,but like the Mamluks White slaves used for military purposes but caution not all military Blacks in India and elsewhere were slaves or started out as such.

One of the interasting name dropping I got was about the powerful trading family started by Jamal din Al Entebi that is Jamal from Entebbe from Uganda.


An African far from the coastal areas who was a powerful merchant and occupied the port of Calcutta for centuries.

Brada-Anansi I still say they are over stating the slavery thing. I don't believe it was even as high as these people make it out to be. In the video the guy makes the stupid comment such and such "was the slave of a slave". Does that even make sense?

TypeZeiss don't think in terms of slavery as we know it today especially in that part of the world. Those who started out as slaves weren't chattel they had mobility and could rise as far as their talent took them,this peculiar type of institution was found in Africa also,the condition of these type of slaves were in name and name only owing to their initial status,but for the most part were wealthier and more powerful than the locals,and again not all started in that institution,remember the part where some African military adventurist dress as merchants some hiding in boxes and then by trickery took over Janjira, well these guys weren't slaves of any sort they worked wholly for themselves.

As far as an African empire or presence in that region goes claims had been made by the Axumites that they had holdings in India,more needs to be looked into.

What makes being a Jew special after all they were and still are Indian Jews even Chinese ones what you have to remember it was a time of international trade and travel of people moving back and forth from inner Africa to China and areas in between see this thread.

The Kebra Negast or book of Kings if I am not mistaken,also Axum was one of the four world power of that time,the other three were Rome,China,and Persia.

There is evidence in inscriptions and archaeological finds that attest to the presence of Axumite troops in Yemen as early as AD 200. This suggests that Axum was no less involved in the Arabian matters than Damot during the reigns of GDRT, and his successors `DBH and Sembrouthes, During the reign of Ousanas, Ezanas father, Axum traded and projected its influence as far as India, where coins minted in Ousanas' reign were discovered in 1990.

A reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to
500 BC, gives us considerable information on the Naga. In Indian
tradition the Naga won central India from the Villavar (bowmen) and Minavar
(fishermen). The Naga were great seamen who ruled much of India, Sri
Lanka and Burma. To the Aryans they described as half man and snake. The
Tamil knew them as warlike people who used the bow and noose.

The earliest mention of the Naga, appear in the Ramayana , they are
also mentioned in the Mahabharata. In the Mahabharata we discover that the
Naga had the capital city in the Dekkan, and other cities spread between
thhe Jumna and Ganges as early as 1300 BC. The Dravidian classic, the
Chilappathikaran made it clear that the first great kingdom of India was
Naganadu.

The Naga probably came from Kush-Punt/Ethiopia. The Puntites were the
greatest sailors of the ancient world. In the Egyptian inscriptions there
is mention of the Puntite ports of Outculit, Hamesu and Tekaru, which
corresponds to Adulis, Hamasen and Tigre.

In Sumerian text, it is claimed that the Puntites traded with the
people of the Indus Valley or Dilmun. According to S.N. Kramer in The
Sumerians, part of Punt was probably called Meluhha, and Dilmun was probably the
ancient name of the Indus Valley. (Today some scholars maintain that Oman,
where we find no ancient cities was Dilmun and the Indus Valley may have
been Meluhha).

Ancient Ethiopian traditions support the rule of Puntites or
Ethiopians of India. In the Kebra Nagast, we find mention of the Arwe
kings who ruled India. The founder of the dynasty was Za Besi Angabo. This
dynasty according to the Kebra Nagast began around 1370 BC. These rulers of
India and Ethiopia were called Nagas. The Kebra Nagast claims that " Queen
Makeda "had servants and merchants; they traded for her at sea and on land
in the Indies and Aswan". It also says that her son Ebna Hakim or Menelik
I, made a campaign in the Indian Sea; the king of India made gifts and
donations and prostrated himself before him". It is also said that Menalik
ruled an empire that extended from the rivers of Egypt (Blue Nile) to the
west and from the south Shoa to eastern India", according to the Kebra
Nagast. The Kebra Nagast identification of an eastern Indian empre ruled by
the Naga, corresponds to the Naga colonies in the Dekkan, and on the East
coast between the Kaviri and Vaigai rivers.

The presence of Meluhhaites/ Puntites in India may expain the Greek
tradition of Kusites ruling India up to the Ganges. It would also explain
the Aryan traditions of Mlechchas ( Sanskrit name for some of the non-Aryan
people) as one of the aboriginal groups of India. Many scholars associate
the name Mlechchas with Meluhha.

The major Naga tribes were the Maravar, Eyinar, Oliyar, Oviyar,
Aru-Valur and Parathavar. The Nagas resisted the invansion of the Cholas .
In the Kalittokai IV,1-5, the Naga are described as being "of strong limbs
and hardy frames and fierce looking tigers wearing long and curled locks of
hair." The Naga kings of Sri Lanka are mentioned in the: Mahawanso, and are
said to have later become Dravidians, as testified to by the names of these
people: Naganathan, Nagaratnam, Nagaraja and etc.

The major gift of the Naga to India was the writing system: Nagari.
Nagari is the name for the Sanskrit script. Over a hundred years ago Sir
William Jones, pointed out that the ancient Ethiopic and Sanskrit writing
are one and the same.

William Jones, explained that the Ethiopian origin of Sanskrit was supported by the fact that both writing systems the writing went from left to right and the vowels
were annexed to the consonants. Today Eurocentric scholars teach that the
Indians taught writing to the Ethiopians, yet the name Nagari for Sanskrit
betrays the Ethiopia origin of this form of writing. Moreover, it is
interesting to note that Sanskrit vowels: a,aa,',I,u,e,o, virama etc., are
in the same order as Geez.

The Ethiopian script has influenced many other writing systems. Y.M. Kobishnor, in the Unesco History of Africa, maintains that Ethiopic was used as the model for Armenian writing, as was many of the Transcaucasian scripts. Dravidian literature indicate that the Naga may have introduced worship of Kali, the Serpent, Murugan and the Sun or Krishna. It is interesting to note that a god called Murugan is worshipped by many people in East Africa.

It is interesting that Krishna, who was associated with the Sun, means Black, this is analogous to the meaning of Khons of the Kushites. Homer, described Hercules asfollows: "Black he stood as night his bow uncased, his arrow string for
flight". This mention of arrows identifies the Kushites as warriors who
used the bow, a common weapon of the Kushites and the Naga.
Kumarinadu

The Naga or Ethiopians were defeated by Dravidian speaking people
from Kumarinadu. Kamarinadu is suppose to have formerly existed as a large
Island in the India ocean which connected India with East Africa. This
landmass is mentioned in the Silappadikaram, which said that Kamarinadu was
made up of seven nadus or regions. The Dravidian scholars Adiyarkunallar and
Nachinaar wrote about the ancient principalities of Tamilaham, which
existed on Kamarinadu.

Kumarinadu was ruled by the Pandyans/Pandians at Madurai before it
sunk beneath the sea. The greatest king of Kumarinadu was Sengoon.
According to Dravidian scholars the Pandyans worshipped the goddess Kumari
Amman. This Amman, probably corresponds to the ancient god Amon of the
Kushites. The Kalittokai 104, makes it clear that after the Pandyans were
forced to migrate off their Island home into South India, "to compensate
for the area lost to the great waves of the sea, King Pandia without
tiresome moved to the other countries and won them. Removing the emblems of
tiger (Cholas) and bow (Cheras) he, in their place inscribed his reputed
emblem fish (Pandia's) and valiantly made his enemies bow to him".

Naga/Nagash was also the title 'King' for the ancient Semitic speaking people of modern Ethiopia who lived in Arwe, and ancient kingdom in Punt. In addition, the ability of the Ethiopians as sailors, is supported by the title bahr nagash, "ruler of the maritime province" or Eritrea.

According to Ethiopian traditions the first empire was founded by Za Besi Angabo, of the Arwe line which ruled Ethiopia for 350 years. This dynasty began in 1370 B.C. The traditions of this dynasty are recorded in the Kebra Nagast , or "Glory of Kings". (Doresse 1971)

The greatest and most famous of the rulers of
Arwe was the Queen of Sheba, known as Makeda of Tigre, and Bilkis to her subjects in South Arabia. (Windsor 1969, p.38-39)

Za Sebado, was the grandfather of Makeda, he
ruled Ethiopia from 1076-1026 B.C., his wife was named Cares. Makeda was born in 1020 B.C., and ascended the throne in 1005 B.C., she ruled Ethiopia and South Arabia until 955 B.C. During her rule she visited King Solomon of the Jews. Here Makeda was impregnated by Solomon.

Makeda had a son. He was named Ebna Hakim, from his descendants Hebrewism came to Ethiopia.

Queen Makeda had a residence near Axum, but the main capital of Arwe was located along the southern end of the African shores of the Red Sea in a district called Azab, Asabe or Saba, which meant in the Tigrinya language of the time "the southern lands".

The name Sheba , was a variation of the name Saba or a specific designation. (Doresse 1971)

When Ebna Hakim took the throne, his mother had already established colonies in Arabia and India. Hakim took the name of Menelik I in 955 B.C. At Axum, Menelik established his capital. The first city of Axum was at Dar'o Addit Kilte.

Menelik I, ruled an empire extending from the
Blue Nile to Eastern India. He later, according to
tradition, made the empire much larger. After Menelik the people of Arwe worshipped either Hebrewism or the serpent Arwe.

The most important King of Arwe ,after Menelik was King Geder of the city of Nouh, or Sabo, a suburb of Axum. The Kings of Arwe controlled the gold of the Fezoli region of Ethiopia, as revealed by archaeological excavation in the Kerem district in the North and the Edola area in the southern Ethiopia.

Their gold fields in Meroitic Kush, and Sofala in Mozambique produced considerable amounts of gold.

The civilizations of modern Ethiopia are
characterized by the practice of agriculture via
irrigation and terracing. Ethiopians had a knowledge of wheat and barley long before 1000 B.C. Soft wheat cultivation was concentrated around the centers of Axum, Harar and Addis Ababa.

The farmers of Arwe used the plough and the hoe or digging stick to prepare their fields for cultivation. From here the plough was taken to South Arabia.

The Puntites have had many religions. Before
Christianity and Hebrewism their religion consisted of several gods. The people worshipped the serpent Arwe.

The other gods were good and evil. These gods evolved into a series of distinctly Puntite gods including: Sin, the moon god (he was called Amuqah in Aowa);Ashtar, the planet Venus; Nuru, the Shinning One; Bahr, the sea god; Medr, the earth god; and Mahram , the god of war. The god Mahram was often identified with the planet Mars.

Due to trade relations of Punt with other lands Puntites originally probably used the Proto-Saharan script to keep proper records. Over time this writing system was modified, to form an alphabetic system.

The first writing created by the Puntites was
Sabaean. The earliest inscriptions written in this
script were found at Haoulti , Ethiopia. These
inscriptions are over 3000 years old. The
Ethiopians also took writing to South Arabia and later India. Both Thamudic and Ethiopic scripts are derived from the Sabaean writing. (Drewes 1962; Doresse 1971)

The Indian Ethiopians called Naga, made one
important improvement over the Ethiopic alphabetic
scripts. This improvement was the addition of vowels to the alphabet.

My theory is that the ancient Habashi/Aksumite people had a empire that is not being told about or recognized by main stream researchers. I believe their empire extended as you pointed out from India, to east Africa and included part or maybe even all of the middle east at one point. I am also starting to think they may have extended that into Europe which is why those Armenians are writing in Ge'ez. I am also starting to believe the first moors were these Habashi/Aksumite people. I think their kingdom may have even spanned parts of the Sahara and maybe even West Africa. Have you come across anything in your research which may hint at my theory?

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The international war crimes court at The Hague found Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga Dyilo guilty on Wednesday in its first ever ruling after a decade of work limited largely to Africa while major cases elsewhere remain beyond its reach.
Governments and rights groups level war crimes accusations at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for cracking down on protesters. But the International Criminal Court (ICC) cannot act because of deadlock among world powers at the United Nations Security Council, the only body that could order a prosecution.
Lubanga, 51, who will be sentenced later, was found guilty of recruiting and deploying child soldiers during a five-year conflict until 2003. An estimated 60,000 people were killed in the violence, part of much wider bloodshed in central Africa.

I don't know about West Africa since during the Axumiote period, numerous groups were migrating out of Nubia and the Fezzan into West Africa at this time. But I do believe they played an important role in South Asia and the Middle East.

I have always felt that the presence of Ge'ez in Armenia was an indication opf this settlement and occupation of many parts of Central Asia/Southeast Western Europe.

To know ancient Black history you have to learn many foriegn languages to get at the sources. Understanding comparative linguistics helps, because it can show genetic relationships and substratum languages which point to the earlier presence of African and Black people outside Africa.

I hope academics such as yourself start to developing these facts more and rewrite our history as Africans. Our story has truly yet to be told I think. I read a book called "History of the Moors of Spain" written in the 1800s. In it the guy claims the first Moors were Sabeans from Yemen and the leader's name was Malik YaAfrici Which in Arabic translate to African King or something like that. I am starting to believe the Moors were these Habashi/Aksumites who struck out from their Yemeni strong hold and hit Europe.

I want to do more search on the Sabean origins as well.

This is a fine hope but professional AA anthropologist and historians are afraid to research from an Afrocentric perspective. Right now, until you can do the research yourself you have to digest the work Egmond, Mike, Marc, Ironlion and myself present here or at our website.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — While most Americans are familiar with the Underground Railroad that helped Southern slaves escape north before the Civil War, the first clandestine path to freedom ran for more than a century in the opposite direction.
Stories of that lesser-known "railroad" will be shared June 20-24 at the National Underground Railroad Conference in St. Augustine, Fla. The network of sympathizers gave refuge to those fleeing their masters, including many American Indians who helped slaves escape to what was then the Spanish territory of Florida.

Can't take that book you have provided seriously. It attempts to make the sabean capital Al Yemen which is laughable at best. Yemen was conquered by the Saebeans of Al Habasha and never the reverse. Its more euro centric psycho babble.

Debate over who the ancient Egyptians were has raved on for centuries amid the tense racial relations of the past 400 years. Lo and behold, it seems the sheer volume of evidence now has made it impossible to deny what was – that Kermit, Ancient Egypt, was not only an African Civilization, it was in fact Black.



It is only fitting then that the new British miniseries, Ascension, eyes Idris Elba to play the most revered Academic of Africa’s historical past – Imhotep.

In priestly wisdom, in magic, in the formulation of wise proverbs; in medicine and architecture; this remarkable figure (Imhotep) of Zoser‘s reign left so notable a reputation that his name is not forgotten to this day. He was the patron spirit of the later scribes, to whom Africans regularly poured out a libation from the water-jug of their writing outfit before beginning their work.

SIGILLUM SECRETUM
(Secret Seal)
On the image of the Blackamoor in European Heraldry
(a preliminary proposal for an iconographical study)
by
Mario de Valdes y Cocom
Considering the deep roots of Christianity in the cultural experience of the African American community, it is only natural that even in the most cursory of discussions on Black history, the hope always is raised of discovering Christ as a man of colour. Moreover, in this global village of television and transatlantic travel, the standard Euro-centric portrayal of Christ is both anomalous and anachronistic, particularly in these racially sensitized times.
It might therefore prove a great source of spiritual strength and psychological affirmation for those of us of African descent if a relatively unknown and forgotten medieval European tradition regarding the image of the black was reconstructed for all to see and share.

This new book is really a remake of an old 2000 book by the same author:


O.J. Is Guilty But Not of Murder [Hardcover]
William C. Dear (Author)

Publication Date: November 14, 2000

If you believe this you will believe anything!, June 28, 2001
By "tbd@xtra.co.nz" (Wellington, Wellington New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: O.J. Is Guilty But Not of Murder (Hardcover)
Yet another conspiracy theory written to make money for the author. Mr Dear does not shed any solid light on this case even though he says he spent several years formulating his theory. At the end it does not wash up as Mr Dear does not produce one scrap of evidence to show that Jason Simpson was at the crime scene. He uses heresay and historical information on Jasons state of mind to weave together a litanny of of misinformation. He even admits that OJ was at the crime scene but did not commit the murder. If OJ knew his son had done this terrible deed, why would he risk going to jail for it? Why did he not testify in the court case? How did OJ cut the outside of his hand by breaking a glass in his palm?




O.J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It [Hardcover]
William C. Dear (Author)

Publication Date: April 2, 2012

1.0 out of 5 stars Ugh, I can't believe I read this book., April 2, 2012
By Lisa Ferris - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: O. J. is Innocent and I Can Prove It (Kindle Edition)
I borrowed a friend's kindle just to see if it would work for me and this book was on it, so I am embarrassed to say I read it. And now to redeem myself I am going to try to save you from it.

I have not thought a lot about OJ, but always came down on the "both/and" side of things. OJ both committed murder and was framed. The substance of this book can be summarized in about five pages. The rest is just a nauseating repeat of the same facts over and over again.

1. Jason Simpson, OJ's oldest son, from a criminal profilers point of view has a more likely criminal and medical profile to be capable of murder than does OJ. This is based on past incidents of quite violent domestic abuse and a sordid history of mental illness.
2. Jason Simpson did NOT have an airtight alibi on the night of the murders. In fact, there is evidence that people covered for him (sometimes contradicting each other in the process.)
3. OJ hired a prestigious criminal attorney for his son the day after the murders, before he had even hired criminal lawyers for himself.

And theories:

4. OJ was at the crime scene after the murders, but did not commit them. Instead, he took steps to cover for his son.
5. The motive for Jason killing nicole was that she and her family said they would dine at the restaurant he was head-chefing, but she stood him up and went to Mezzaluna instead. This was a blow to his pride.
6. Dear found a knife in Jason's belongings that may or may not be the murder weapon.

But what irritated me the most was his faux concern for Jason Simpson. He spends years stalking and harassing this guy, digging in his garbage, showing up at his work, illegally obtaining his medical records, publishing his personal notes, all because he wants to get Jason "help" so he doesn't get violent again. But it is obvious that his bigger motivation is fame and fortune or to be the one who solves the crime. Also, he talks about his investigation lasting 16 years and time is of the essence because Jason could kill again at any time! (even going so far as to spy on him when he goes to pick up a paycheck just in case he pulls a knife on his boss...it is all very dramatic.) But is there any evidence of Jason being violent since the murders 18 years ago? I'm not sure, but you'd think if there was, he would have covered it in his book.
The book was just macho-vomit by a guy who thinks too highly of himself. Any credibility his theory has is lost in the arrogance of the book itself. There is really nothing new here. And now I have done my due diligence in warning you and I can forget I ever wasted time reading this book.

With all due respect, unfortunately, this is just not True smh....Black People still stabbing other Black People...yes less than gunshot True, but plenty of stabbings here in the D.C. metro area...and other places, according to various headlines...

edited to add: also, those familiar with some criminal psychology know that a knife is also used in certain kinds of stabbings/murders because it's more personal...in some certain crimes it is symbolic of penetration (ie, the knife represents his buddy) and is known as piquerism (sp?)...

possibilities with the glove

1) spread your fingers slightly to stiffen your hand on a tight fitting thin glove while demonstrating putting on the glove, it will look like it doesn't fit at all

or

2) get your murder weapon and find a glove that is too small for you.
Then drop the glove at the crime scene.

Do remember seh guilt in a court of law is held to di standard of 'REASONABLE DOUBT' thus, di finding of 'not guilty' doesn't necessarily mean one is innocent, just mean seh either di defendant is actually innocent, or di standard couldn't be met and di person get wey wid whatever...I've been working ina di legal field fe di last 2 decades, so ya know...

If yuh come check me tonight, and get psychotic and choke mi rass dead lol, and there was room fe reasonable doubt fe dis reason and dat reason and di odda reason, and thus seh yuh found 'NOT GUILTY'..it mean seh yuh neva kill me? No sah, di court find yuh 'not guilty' ah true but reality seh yuh jus get wey wid it cah di gov't couldn't meet di standard of proof....yuh 'not guilty' but yuh no innocent neidda lol...

'reasonable doubt' is a higher standard of proof than just 'preponderance of the evidence' used in civil litigation....

But I digress as Africans break free of Euro/American economic domination.they really ought to look invest in each other economies and build a strong middle class, as well as diversifying their economies and not relying on oil wealth alone.

Gilgamesh tomb believed found
Archaeologists in Iraq believe they may have found the lost tomb of King Gilgamesh - the subject of the oldest "book" in history.


Gilgamesh was believed to be two-thirds god, one-third human
The Epic Of Gilgamesh - written by a Middle Eastern scholar 2,500 years before the birth of Christ - commemorated the life of the ruler of the city of Uruk, from which Iraq gets its name.

Now, a German-led expedition has discovered what is thought to be the entire city of Uruk - including, where the Euphrates once flowed, the last resting place of its famous King.

"I don't want to say definitely it was the grave of King Gilgamesh, but it looks very similar to that described in the epic," Jorg Fassbinder, of the Bavarian department of Historical Monuments in Munich, told the BBC World Service's Science in Action programme.

Magnetic

In the book - actually a set of inscribed clay tablets - Gilgamesh was described as having been buried under the Euphrates, in a tomb apparently constructed when the waters of the ancient river parted following his death.

"We found just outside the city an area in the middle of the former Euphrates river¿ the remains of such a building which could be interpreted as a burial," Mr Fassbinder said.

Who can compare with him in kingliness? Who can say, like Gilgamesh, I am king?
The Epic Of Gilgamesh
He said the amazing discovery of the ancient city under the Iraqi desert had been made possible by modern technology.

"By differences in magnetisation in the soil, you can look into the ground," Mr Fassbinder added.

"The difference between mudbricks and sediments in the Euphrates river gives a very detailed structure."

This creates a magnetogram, which is then digitally mapped, effectively giving a town plan of Uruk.

'Venice in the desert'

"The most surprising thing was that we found structures already described by Gilgamesh," Mr Fassbinder stated.


Iraq has long been the site of some of the most important historical finds
"We covered more than 100 hectares. We have found garden structures and field structures as described in the epic, and we found Babylonian houses."

But he said the most astonishing find was an incredibly sophisticated system of canals.

"Very clearly, we can see in the canals some structures showing that flooding destroyed some houses, which means it was a highly developed system.

"[It was] like Venice in the desert."

Sorry old news

The casting of the actor chosen to portray Satan in The History Channel's "The Bible" mini-series has sparked debate on social media sites over the weekend, after some suggested the man had a likeness to President Barack Obama. However, both The History Channel as well as "The Bible" mini-series producers, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, have called the suggestions "utter nonsense."

I Saw the TV serie Bible I didnt realise the actor playing the role of Satan look like President Barack Obama. Producer Mark Burnet should have look for an actor that look like one of the international banker to play that character.

I notice the black robe of Satan and is long finger.I remember esoteric teacher Jordan Maxwell talking about the black robe in its video.Jordan Maxwell stated what is it with that black robe, the Priest wear balck suit, the Rabby wear black suit, the Judge wear black robe, College graduate wear black robe, Police wear black uniform, Swat team wear uniform, Darth Vader of Star Wars wear a black robe etc.Maxwell stated the black robe and clothes are the symbol of the Priesthood of Saturn.Saturn is the God of education, law, order and DEATH.Saturn is called the lord of the ring because the planet Saturn have a ring.The Canaanite/Phoenician women wear earrings because of the God Saturn.when Canaanite married they gived eachother a ring because of Saturn.Another name for Saturn is the God El of the bible.The city of Rome was called Saturnalia, the Roman had a Saturnalian festival in December like Christmas.

The name of planet Saturn come from the Egyptian God Set that become God Satan of the bible and God Saturn of the Roman.The name Palestine aka Peleset mean land of the worshiper of Set.The worshiper of Set paint their hair red to celebrate the Sun Set.

Our thick-browed, extinct friends known as the Neanderthals have been all over the news lately. The latest find? Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have sequenced and published a high-quality Neanderthal genome taken from a toe bone found in a Siberian cave, reports The Associated Press. In celebration of the breakthrough, here are five fascinating things about Neanderthals that you may not have known:

1. They kept sex all in the family

Symbols of Power: Adinkras and the Nature of Reality
This article first appeared in Physics World, June 2010.

Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. Now, James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into the theory of supersymmetry — and perhaps even the very nature of reality.

Physicists have long sought to describe the universe in terms of equations. Now, James Gates explains how research on a class of geometric symbols known as adinkras could lead to fresh insights into the theory of supersymmetry — and perhaps even the very nature of reality.

In the land of theoretical physics, equations have always been king. Indeed, it would probably be fair to caricature theoretical physicists as members of a company called "Equations-R-Us", since we tend to view new equations as markers of progress. The modern era of equation prediction began with Maxwell in 1861, continued through the development of Einstein's equations of general relativity in 1916 and reached its first peak in the 1920s with the Schrödinger and Dirac equations. Then a second, postwar surge saw the development of equations describing the strong force and the electroweak force, culminating in the creation of the Standard Model of particle physics in about 1973. The equations trend continues today, with the ongoing struggle to create comprehensive equations to describe superstring theory. This effort — which aims to incorporate the force of gravity into physical models in a way that the Standard Model does not — marks the extant boundary of a long tradition.

Malcolm Shabazz, grandson of Malcolm X, killed
The Amsterdam News has learned, and the U.S. Embassy has confirmed, that Malcolm Shabazz - grandson of Malcolm X, was killed in Mexico.
Several reports around the circumstances of his death, stilled unconfirmed, have rummored that he died early Thursday morning, May 9, 2013 from injuries sustained after he was thrown off a building or shot as he was being robbed in Tijuana.
"I'm confirming, per U.S. Embassy, on behalf of family, the tragic death of Malcolm Shabazz, grandson of Malcolm X.Statement frm family 2 come," wrote close friend of the Shabazz family Terrie M. Williams on twitter.
Family members have confirmed his death and that he was in
Mexico but have not confirmed the exact location or circumstances of how Malcolm Shabazz died.
Malcolm Shabazz is survived by two daughters, his mother and several aunts.
Malcolm Shabazz pled guilty and was found guilty of manslaughter and arson and was sentenced to 18 months in Juvenile detention. His stay was extended and he was released four years later. Years later he told the Amsterdam News that he had not set the fire.
Malcolm Shabazz was in the process of writing two books, at least one of which was a manuscript, and he was attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

n 2012, under threat from fundamentalist rebels, a team of archivists, librarians, and couriers evacuated an irreplaceable trove of manuscripts from Timbuktu at great personal risk. The manuscripts have been saved from immediate destruction, but the danger is not over. A massive archival effort is needed to protect this immense global heritage from loss.




Abdel Kader Haidara has been steward of his family's library since age 17

Though removed from immediate threat, the manuscripts are still jam packed in footlockers used for their evacuation and the current environment of this precious world heritage is significantly more humid than Timbuktu. There are already signs of damage and exposure to moisture.

The purpose of this campaign is to fund the preservation effort required to store the manuscripts in an archival, moisture-resistant manner during their exile from Timbuktu. If physical harm from the current packing situation continues and if mold and mildew spread in the corpus due to increased humidity, the damage will be devastating.

Timbuktu is a traditional center of peace, learning, and scholarship

By contributing, you are directly funding the archival materials and labor required to save these works. In recognition of your support, we can ensure that your name or a personal dedication will be associated with these works in perpetuity, and we will provide you with a token of your contribution to keep as an enduring memento.

This is a legacy that will continue to enrich our world, with the potential to advance the causes of peace and good governance in Africa and the world for generations.

About the Libraries in Exile Project

Libraries in Exile is sponsored by T160K, an international initiative forged in the evacuation of these treasures from Timbuktu and dedicated to protecting and preserving them until they can be returned to their home. It is the center of a growing global family who have pledged to this urgent effort.

Funds contributed to this project will be used to purchase moisture traps, archival boxes, and the additional footlockers required to safely store these manuscripts, as well as to cover the significant labor effort required to unbox and re-pack the manuscripts for preservation.

Ethiopian leader accuses international court of racial bias
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, the current chairman of the African Union, on Monday accused the International Criminal Court of racial bias and targetting Africans for prosecution,
The Hague-based court was set up to bring the perpetrators of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity to justice - a mission that Hailemariam said it has lost sight of.
"The intention was to avoid any kind of impunity but now the process has degenerated into some kind of race-hunting," Hailemariam told reporters at the end of African Union summit in Addis Ababa.

I agree with Ethiopian Prime minister Hailemariamen Desaleign that the ICC is racist and only targeting Africans for prosecution.Western countries invaded and bombarded Middle eastern countries and North African countries were innocent civilians died and soldiers tortured and woman rapes.Illegal weapons like duplated uranium and white phosphorous was used by Western armies in the Middle East.There wasnt any investigation of Western countries by the ICC.

I have no problem and support the ICC prosecuting Africans involved in the Rwanda genocide, Darfur genocide and Sierra Leone genocide.I think the ICC is being to extreme when they are prosecuting and want to prosecute politician involved in ethnic warfare like Ivorian Pres Laurent Gbagbo and Kenyan Pres Uhuru Kenyata.A national judicial court or national reconciliation court like South Africa should deal with those case.

The Proxy countries Chief of States of Saudi Arabia and Qatar that are financing crazy terrorist rebels in the Arab world that killed civilians, lynched black people, executed chief of state live on TV and totured civilian are never indicted and prosecuted by the ICC.

The ICC look like a tool of Western foreign policy.The ICC look like a colonial court.Non Aligned countries should create their own international court of Justice.

I care about the Timbuctu middle age history books.If I was rich I would have create a multi $ million history foundation in Africa to save the Timbuctu ancient books.

Bantus with Blue Eyes

In the Bantu, black and brown eyes occurred in all our
cases. Blue or intermediately coloured eyes do, in fact,
occur but are extremely rare.

The tale of Bida the Black Snake


This is another tale from ancient Ghana or Ouagadougou some time spelled Wagadgu this may have an allusion to a drought that helped ushered in the final collapse of the Empire, they had been fighting off the Almoravids who were carving out an empire that stretched from the Senegal river to Iberia although that venture failed they non the least had to deal with a sever drought now understand these were not a people of the book and although they traded with Muslims the Kings had very little interest in their religion although some of it's people were already Muslims,the combination of war and drought drew the attention of the Malian up start who succeeded where the Almorivids failed. It is known that like other non people of the book they had human sacrifice as a matter of fact it would be reminiscent of story of Perseus vs the Kraken or the Hydra whose king sacrificed beautiful young virgins to ward off his wrath or even the story of king Kong same basic theme.

^ Snake worship was with Wagadu since the beginning of that state and perhaps before.

The Soninke(Mande people) story of the hero Maadi slaying the black serpent Wagadu Bida to stop his girlfriend Siya Yatabare from being sacrifice to the serpent is similar to the Greek story of the Hero Perseus slaying the Kraken (monster) to keep his future wife Andromeda from being sacrifice to the monster.Its look like the Greek myth come from Africa.

The Haussa have a story of a hero slaying a serpent man who was keeping the Haussa people from using water from the well.

Wagadu Bida the serpent with 7 heads and the serpent man of the Haussa are maybe refering to a stellar priesthood who have been replace with a solar priesthood.

^ There seems to be a connection if not common theme. In the Greek story of Perseus, his future wife Andromeda was princess of 'Ethiopia' and because her mother insulted a sea goddess the punishment was that their coastal city was to be flooded by sea water and harassed by a sea monster (ketus in the original Greek). They consulted the Egyptian oracle of Amun which told them the only way to placate the gods was to sacrifice their only child to the monster.

The other two African legends you mentioned (Soninke and Hausa) also have similar themes of a kingdom or people punished by divine or supernatural forces in the form of a monster or demon. Instead of excess of water, lack of water or drought was the problem and then a large guardian like serpent. I understand versions of the Hausa story even give the serpent 7 heads as well. The common interpretation I get from most scholars as well as studies of similar legends is that these tales of heroes destroying serpents (or other monsters) symbolize the conquest and/or eradication of an older order or religion. The conquering hero or founding king in these two African cases and those in many parts of the Sahel is Muslim while the serpent creature was the totem of a tutelary deity or even the deity itself. Also the heroines saved both in Greek legend as well as these African legends were queens and ancestral founders of future kingdoms. Some speculate that these women may have some direct connection to the demonized creatures perhaps as priestesses, but then were made to be victims of the old order to be rescued by their men who represent the new order or religion. Note that in Africa there is prevalent tradition of oracles associated with sacred springs or wells where large serpents dwell. The serpent is still used by voodoo priestesses in many rituals.
