[QUOTE]Originally posted by IronLion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] For those who misunderstand. Of course there is a connection between West African kingdoms and Egypt in that BOTH are African, but that is it! There is no evidence to suggest such West African kingdoms were founded by Egyptians and not the native West African people. :o [/qb][/QUOTE]Lesson #1: :D ^^ Per Naiwu Osahon, renowned writer of Benin origin: "Historical accounts are vague as to when and if the Bini (Edo), migrated from the Nile valley. What is not in doubt is that the earliest rulers of Benin were called Ogisos. Thirty-one Ogisos in all ruled the kingdom of Benin between 900 - 1200 AD, which is the earliest period so far accounted for in Benin history. The Bini monarchy demonstrates strong affinity with ancient Egyptian gods and Pharaohs, with which it shares identical authority, grandeur and a great deal of reverence from their subjects. In fact, the hair style of Bini chiefs is similar to Pharaoh Ramses II's famous helmet, while the small circles on the helmet appear also on many Bini bronzes. Bini Queens wear identical hairstyles to that of Pharaoh Mycerinus (Fourth-Dynasty), and Pharaoh Sesostris I (Twelfth Dynasty). The kings (Ogies) of Benin (Bini) also adopt grand Osirian titles of the 'Open Eye,' signifying omniscience and omnipotence...." http://greatbenin.org/New%20Folder2/naiwu_osahon.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
