[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alive-(What Box): [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb]Why was black divine and how did the Egyptians represent the divinity of blackness in their cosmology?[/qb] [/QUOTE]Not because of the Nile Valley: things were divine because they were 'black' (- their blackness marked their divinity). The 'red' desert to the North was not divine because it was not [black]. The black [b]woman[/b]/man was rich and fertile [b]as[/b] was the black [/b]land[/b] of the Nile. [b]Black[/b] <-> life/[b]creation[/b]; red <-> death/destruction. [b]Osirus[/b], the spirit of the [b]Earth[/b] is [b]black[/b] because [b]the Earth brought forth life[/b]; [b]osirus[/b] is [b]fertile[/b]. Set didn't become an antagonist until he was adopted by reds/Asiatics. [b]Kmt's[/b] blackness isn't dependant on their connection to land though. If you happen to think so then well you're looking at this backwards. Let me explain: Something or someone doesn't need to be land-oriented in order for it to be black/fertile or red/infertile. [b]The land[/b] (or person) however [b][i]does[/i] need[/b] to be 'red' to be [b]in[/b]fertile and [b]need to be black[/b] to symbolize fertility [virility]. [QUOTE] [QUOTE] 628b. complete and great, in thy name of "Great Black," 628c. fresh and great, in thy name of "Great Green." [/QUOTE]Right here, you have two references, one to "great black" as meaning what and then "Great Green". Now what does great black and great green in reference to the SAME deity?[/QUOTE]Yes, black symbolised completion among other things. [QUOTE]the FATHER of Osiris is MIN who is almost ALWAYS depicted as a BLACK MALE with an erect penis representing FERTILITY.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Osiris is the Ka or SPIRIT of the life force of th EARTH ITSELF. And that Ka or LIFE FORCE is manifested in human form as the GREAT BLACK, which is THE EARTH PERSONIFIED, the RISEN SEED of the earth, the FIRST FORM to emerge from the time of FIRST CREATION from the SACRED MOUND that arose in.... guess where? INNER AFRICA.[/QUOTE]Yes, another connection between black and fertile. [QUOTE] This strong [b]black[/b] symbolism[/QUOTE].. is just that, black symbolism. "Kemet" refers to the [b]polity[/b] and the [b]people[/b]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
