http://www.asarimhotep.com/documentdownloads/reinterpretations_of_the_ankh_symbol_revised.pdfHere are some excerpts: "I also argue that Yeshua (Jesus) is none other than the Egyptian deity SHU and the Yoruba deity ESU (pronounced eshu). Esu of the Yoruba system of Ifa is the “bridge” between heaven and earth. Shu of Egypt is also the bridge between heaven and earth as air (shu) separates the earth (Geb) and outerspace (Nut). All prayers and sacrifices MUST go through Esu or they will not reach the Creator. In order to get to outer space you HAVE to go through SHU. Doesn't this sound familiar? Esu's symbol is the “crossroads” and this is very important in regards to this discussion. We have already posited that Yeshua (Jesus) is a later form of Egyptian SHU and the Yoruba ESU (Ayeshu in the Akan). In Greek Yeshua is rendered IESOUS or IASOUS. In Arabic it is ISSA. A title associated with the Egyptian Hrw is IUSA. Gerald Massey rendered the meaning “the coming son” from Egyptian iy, iw, ii, jj, jw or jwj meaning “to come;” and sa, or za meaning “son.” I find this to be folk etymology. I find the 4th century archbishop of Jerusalem St. Cyril‟s rendering to be more plausible for the definition of Jesus. St. Cyril posits the meaning of the Greek IESOUS to mean “healer.” We have already posited that Jesus is an NGANGA priest and one of the titles is that of a healer: which we know Jesus did a lot healing according to the Biblical myth. He posits that the term derives from the Greek word IASOMAI meaning “to heal.” Arthur Drews15 states, “Epiphanius (Haeres, c, XXIX) clearly perceived this connection when he translated the name Jesus „healer‟ or „physician‟(curator, therapeutes).” I argue that the name IESOUS is built off the consonantal root -s- in the Yoruba word ESU. The root -s- in esu is the same root for ase which is typically used to mean, “the power to bring things into existence through sound” in liturgical Ifa. In Yoruba aṣẹ means “order” or a ṣẹ “it will happen.” Its cognate in Hebrew is siwwah “command.” In the Amarigna language it is ez “command.” In the ancient Egyptian its cognate is s3 “ordain, order.” As Oduyoye (1996:53) notes: The concept of ase in Yoruba prayers can be seen from the concept of afose “the act of uttering in such a way that the words have unfailing effect.” The power of afose is thought to be possessed by some men who have potent powers to bless or to curse irrevocably. Such men are medicine men, the priest-herbalists whose blessings are sought during religious festivals and whose curses are feared. [emphasis mine] This quote accurately describes a priest, an NGANGA, medicine man, a healer. It is common knowledge that in African tradition healing is not only done with physical concoctions and instruments, but are aided by spoken words (spells). This is a common practice and it is believed that all efforts will render impotent results if not accompanied by the right words. Sound is the agent/force used to activate the potential of the invisible world (orun) and make it manifest in the physical (aiye). Is this not a major characteristic of Yeshua (Jesus, Iesous)? ============================================= Interesting article to say the least, the author is an Afro-American in his 30s and claims he was initiated into Ifa tradition by a Babalawo. This is the kind of revolutionary scholarship showing that ISESE and ODINANI (traditional religion and governance) Abrahamic religions are knockoffs in a different language, weaponized against the original African traditional religions. The significance here is that belief in and support of traditional religion also comes with belief in and support of traditional forms of governments.

Otem have posted similar things in his DOCTUFOS before. There, Jesus(Yeshua) actually derived his name from Eshu. See it here: DOCTUFOS: Motus 18:1-35
1. in the land of Olorun in the continent of Murmoh, which was where Otem would be born, Eshu, who had been married to Osun in the flesh of Sango, did much magia. But Sango had left the land because he did not want Osun discover that she actually married Eshu, the crafty god.
2. Now Eshu had married two other wives, which were the daughters of goddesses. And the names of the two were Oba and Oya. But Oya was not his legitimate wife, because he did not pay any price on her.
3[b] . Now Faulkin came to the land and met Eshu, saying, I seek for Eshu, the god whose fame has gotten far and wide. For I heard that he is very wise and crafty. [/b]
4. And Eshu said, I am the one you are looking for. Then Faulkin said, I know that you are a mere nephilim called Sango. But I am only here to see Eshu. And Eshu said, it is me. Tell no one, it is I indeed. Then Faulkin turned to his inner eye and saw Eshu in his real appearance.
5. Then did Faulkin bow and said, Eshu, the great god. I have heard of all your antics in the lands around Niger. Now I have come to learn from you. And Eshu said, you can dwell in my land for sometimes to learn. I shall teach you what you want, Faulkin, the son of a fish.
6. And Faulkin said, how did you know that is my name? Then Eshu said, you told me, but you did not know. When you came into my chamber, I asked you to everything about yourself and also your mission into that gourd over there and you did. Do you not know that I have divided my spirit into five, just like your father divided his spirit into seven, according to what I have heard.
7. Now the gourd you whispered into has one of my spirits in it. So as you spoke into it, everything you said did come directly into my soul. When Faulkin heard this, he was amazed at the wisdom of Eshu.
8. And Faulkin did as if he knew nothing, saying, but this trick is very great, O Eshu. I shall stay in your land for decades and learn from you. Then Eshu said, I shall not teach you anything except if you shall serve me.
9. Then Faulkin said, who am I not to serve you, O Eshu? My fathers are no more and I am defenceless. If not for the love of the gods for my mother, Earthus, they would have consumed me because of all the wicked deeds of my father. For they knew that if my mother is angered, she could pull out her force from the earth and the earth would become like the space.
10. Then Eshu said, if you shall be allowed to stay in my land as long as you wish, then you shall agree to bear my name henceforth. Then Faulkin said, how can that be possible? I have presented the name of El your brother before my people and they have known their God to be El. And I have also signed a treaty with El that Philistia his land shall not be destroyed at the return of my father. And he has permitted me to use his name continually.
11. Now how possible shall I present another name to them as the God who made heaven and earth? Then Eshu said, what name do they know you as? Then Faulkin said, I have presented Jehoshua to them as my name.
12. When Eshu heard it, he said, it is good O Faulkin. Now shall you go again to your land and give them another name. This shall replace your own name, Jehoshua. And I tell you, no one shall know this.
13. Then Faulkin said, what is that name you want me to bear. And Eshu said Now shall you remove all the letters in your name and retain only the first and the last letter. Then you shall put my name between them. By this shall you help to spread my name round the world.
14. Now when Jehoshua who was called also Yehoshua had done what Eshu requested of him, his name became Yeshua or Jeshua. And the name of the crafty god of the southwestern part of river Niger became fixed into his name.
15. And Faulkin began to bear Yeshua henceforth. And Faulkin learnt more craftiness from Eshu. And his wisdom increased so much.
16. Now Eshu, whom everyone thought to be Sango, had two powerful servants whom he had taught much magia. And he had also taught them the use of forces. And they had much power to do great things. Now Eshu did not know that Eliri had discovered his secrets. For Eliri had identified him to be Eshu and not Sango which everyone thought him to be.
17. Now when anyone needed a child, they would come to a river where Oshun, the wife of Eshu lived in. And they would request for child from her. Then Oshun would seek Eshu's assistance who would make them drink tepexes he had dissolved in water.
18. Now Eliri, one of the two powerful servants of Eshu, had discovered that the power of Eshu who was in the form of Sango, a mere nephilim, was not much compared to when he was in his own body. Then Eliri began to disobey the order of Eshu, because he knew that Eshu will not turn back to his original self, or else Oshun and the other two wives would leave him.
19. Now Faulkin had put the affair of his people into the hand of Caleb. For he was roaming every nation and every city to gather knowledge and culture. And Faulkin had learnt much more languages than that which his father had taught him.
20. He had also learnt much wise-sayings from all the scrolls he had obtained. Now Faulkin remained in the land of Olorun to learn. And he saw how the two servants of Eshu behaved themselves. Now the name of the other servant was Timi. He was a great archer who hardly missed his target.
21. And a time came when Eshu led a war against the people of Olorun. And his two warriors disobeyed him in the war such that he decided to punish them. Then Eshu listened to the advice of Oya and punished them both by sending them on exile in form of an errand.
22. For Eshu had said, go to the border of the land of Ede, which is not far from the dwellingplace of Olorun. Remain there and watch over the border. Then Eliri said, I shall go as you have said, but Timi said, I shall not go.
23. Now Eshu returned from where he had been and found Eliri around. Then he said, did you not say that you will go to the land where I sent you to? Why are you remaining here? Then Eliri said, I shall not go anymore.
24. Then Eshu said, where is Timi? He said he would not go. Then Eliri said, Timi has gone. It is better he goes alone.
22. Now Timi went to the land of exile as Eshu had ordered, but Eliri remained. Then Eshu cunningly sent Eliri to Ede also, saying, now shall I know which of you is more powerful. O Eliri, go now to Timi and see if you can capture him back here.
23. Now Eliri was glad, because Timi and himself had been waiting for such time when they would see who was more powerful. And Eliri obeyed Eshu and went to the land to capture Timi.
24. Now Eshu said to Faulkin after Eliri had left, Yeshua, do you know why I sent Eliri to capture Timi? Then Faulting replied no my lord. I wish to know why.
25. Then Eshu said, the two warriors are arrogant and I have been seeking opportunity to destroy them. But if I do that, the people shall say that I am weak. For when you destroy your enemy because you are scared that they will overthrow you someday, you shall be termed a coward.
26. Now let them destroy themselves with their own hands. For it is certain that both shall destroy themselves. After five days, Eliri arrived with Timi bound. Now Esu knew that the fight was not real, for the two also reasoned between themselves that Esau wanted them killed.
27. Now Eshu said, fight before me again and I shall know who of the two of you is more powerful. Then Eliri fought with Timi again, but they also pretended. And Eliri won Timi again, but did not kill him.
28. Now Eshu was angry that Eliri did not kill Timi, so he thought to kill Eliri himself, but the great stones which he had been using to start sparkles of fire had been hid by Eliri and was replaced with a stone of magia. Now when Eshu had set Eliri on that which he thought was fire, he was glad.
29. But Eliri had assured Eshu, saying, if you destroy my body, I shall resurrect in three days. Then Eshu said, we shall see. Then he set him on fire and packed his ashes, putting it in a bottle. But he did not know that he was using the stone of magia.
30. Now after three days, Eliri appeared from nowhere and demanded to take the throne of Eshu. Now Eshu was angry. And he thought to check out the stone again, to see if it was working. But Eliri had put the real stones back in there place.
31. Now when Eshu struck the stones together again, they produced sparkles and fire. Then was the house of Eshu burnt off completely. And when Eshu had done this, all his wives left to leave in the rivers.
32. And the river where Osun entered was called River Osun. And Oya entered the river Niger, which the people of Odua named Oba. And Oya entered the river Niger.
33. Now when Eshu had seen what was done, he went to lure the real Sango back to the land. And Sango came and was met with many who blamed him. Then he said, I do not know anything about this issue. I have never been married to Osun or Oya or Oba.
34. And when the people will not believe him who has been with them for many years, he went to a place and hanged himself, saying, I had rather die than to be ridiculed. Then some brought back news that he had hanged himself, but his followers refused to accept it. And they burnt up anyone who confessed as such.
35. Now Faulkin returned to his land, for he had seen how Eshu had caused much confusion in the land. And Faulkin presented himself to his people as Yeshua, according to his covenant with Eshu, who was also called Esu, the god who was very much crafty. |
