African Origin Of Civilisation by Amujale(m): 9:09pm On Apr 15, 2020 |
Civilization begins in Africa and then it proceeded to trickle out to the rest of the world. https://afrogistmedia.com/10-african-inventions-that-changed-the-world/ Civilisation doesnt start in Ancient Egypt. Civilisation begins in the regions 'South of the Sahara'. Civilisation moved down the Nile. However, most historians make use of Ancient Egypt as all the evidence still stands to this day.

Thousands of years ago the Africans who lived there never called the land Egypt; they never called themselves Egyptiàns. Self determination: Define yourself Dont wait for someone elese to define who you are. Reject colonial mentality Reject Eurocentrism Reject Arabanisation Reject the notion that a foreign ideal has the right to define us.

During the sitting of UNESCO's International Scientific Commitee for the Drafting of a general History of Africa, 30 March - 8 April 1974, this was the first time anywhere in history that Africans was invited to say something about our own history. The two leading academics that showed up was Cheikh Anta Diop and Theophilo Obenga. They argued and proved beyond any doubt the fact that the thinking of the people of KM.T is no different to the philosophy of other Africans. https://books.google.be/books/about/The_African_Origin_of_Civilization.html?id=dHnDH-m9UQYC&printsec=frontcover&source=kp_read_button&redir_esc=y [flash=250,250] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYk8cm_aREA[/flash] Dr Cheikh Anta Diop is a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist who studied the human race’s origin and pre- colonial African culture Its important to note that although Diop speaks fluent French, is immediately translated from French into English by the translator in the video.

The Big Bang Theory is a scientific summation of the conception that was revealed to us by the African Gods millions of years ago. The African are the people who developed the complexed conception about the origin of the universe; and that was no simple biblical conception; as in the Gods didnt simply breath on the water; it wasnt as simple as that. Our ancestors actually talked about an aqueous state, the primordial stage of the universe and they spoke of that curious yarati-yarati strange, perhaps perculiar vibration that predates the primordial stage that which creates the universe and reconstitutes the primordial elements of the universe and sets it on its course. Now, that is the closest to modern physics that anyone could come. 1 Like |

Ancient Egypt was a depository of all the exceptional arts and sciences that moved up the Nile. As in, KM.T was created by the various communities 'South of The Sahara', especially West Africa. At a certain point in time, KM.T was not only central to Africa, it was central to Asia and Europe as well. The Greeks who everyone falsely credit with civilisation actually sat at the feet of the people of KM.T The people of KM.T are meant to answer to you and I. |

Prior to the 1974 UNESCO session, the claim used to be that although Egypt is in Africa, because it had borders that opened it up to Europe and Asia, the barbarianssic 'South of Egypt' didnt have any major civilisations; what they argued was that people trickled down from Asia and Europe; bright people; more advanced types created the Nile Valley civilisation that then trickled down to the barbarianssic 'South of Egypt'. However, when the African academics performed a thorough perusal of all the ancient civilisation 'South of the Sahara', they discovered that the barbarians arent and never was in Africa, they are elsewhere; plus the various major civilisations that existed 'South of Egypt' predate the Nile Valley civilisation. Furthermore, the ancient civilisations predate human activities in both Asia and Europe for years that would amount in their hundreds of thousands. 1 Like |

What we've discovered is that we dont have any Asian or European until about 75,000 - 100,000 years ago and those Asians and Europeans was all melanated. All the current stock of people living on planet Earth are descendants of the African woman (blacksic) who lived around 150,000 years ago. Hence, the African woman holds all the genetic materials -:'the Eve gene'. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Mathematics Africans invented the concepts of numeracy; invented mathematics. Africans created the earliest numeric system on record, and they are also the first civilization to create and solve arithmetic equations. Imhotep, a gifted mathematician, credited as the authority that identified and held onto all the major fundamentals of modern day mathematics Source: A History Of Mathematics by Uta C. Merzbach and Carl B.Boyer. The Great Pyramids on the Giza complex are built out of what is known in mathematics as the golden ratio also called the golden mean or golden section. In mathematics, two quantities are said to be in the golden ratio once their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities a and b with a > b > 0; (a+b)/a = (a/b) ≡φ (where φ represents the golden ratio.) The golden ratio is an irrational number that is a solution to the quadratic equation x2−x−1=0. φ= x=1±5√2 = 1.6180339887 African mathematical concepts that Euclid of Alexandria and Pythagoras would later introduce to the West Asia and Europe. Pythagoras did not invent the Pythagorean Thorem, Africans have been making good use of the thorem to solve complexed mathematical problems thousands of years before Pythagoras himself was born. 2 Likes 1 Share

Writing Africans invented the concept of literacy. According to Dr. Clyde Winters in his book The Ancient Black Civilizations of Asia, the oldest known form of writing developed between 5000 and 3000 BCE in the regions 'South of the Sahara', Africa; especially West Africa. These writing system has come to be known as Proto-Saharan. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/1206560.Clyde_Winters

Language Our Ancestors in 'South of the Sahara', Africa were the first in human history to develop a language system. A recent scientific study found that every language in the world can be traced to the dialect spoken by our African ancestors over 100,000 years ago. Every language in the world - from English to Mandarin - evolved from a prehistoric 'mother tongue' first spoken in Africa tens of thousands of years ago, a new study reveals. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1377150/Every-language-evolved-single-prehistoric-mother-tongue-spoken-Africa.html 1 Like 1 Share

Medical Science Although all civilizations had discovered how to use some form of medicine, Africans invented a concrete system of medical science that involved schooling for practitioners and written documentation of these methodology. And let’s not forget that Africans are also the first civilization to perform surgery. https://study.com/academy/lesson/ancient-african-inventions.html The most remarkable physician of all time and the greatest medical practioner in the history of orthodox medicine is a Nubian scientistsic known as Imhotep. Its from all his medical journals and write-ups that Western Orthodox medicinal knowledge is derived. According to the "Edwin Smith Papyrus" that which was authored by Imhotep, he is said to have diagnosed and treated hundreds of ailments in his lifetime, is amongst the first to have performed successfull surgeries and is said to have found the first ever School of Orthodox Medicine.

Architecture Despite the disturbing movement to prove that aliens were in fact behind the architecture of Egypt’s great pyramids (is it really that hard to believe that Africans can create architectural masterpieces??), some of the world’s greatest and oldest architectural masterpieces are in Africa. The Pyramids of Giza, the Step Pyramid, the city of Great ZImbabwe, the Nubian Pyramids- all of these iconic sites are proof of the highly advanced system of architecture and engineering that ancient Africans developed. The images below are depictions of a great work of engineering known as The Pyramid of Djoser. (i) Also known as the “Step Pyramid” here is a 2018 image. (ii)A 3d model of djoser Pyramid Complex.

Phones Firstly, the African American engineer and prolific inventor Lewis Latimer invented the first phone. Furthermore, if you own a phone, chances are that it's made out of minerals deriving from Africa - specifically the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt is a mineral found in DRC that is used to make rechargeable batteries. Africa is the richest continent in the world in regards to natural resources, and everything from copper and cobalt to diamonds and tin are found here. 1 Like

Calendar Africans invented the earliest calendar system over 5,000 years ago. And the way that we divide our days into hours and then minutes? That is also because of the African. The ancient Egyptians used a calendar similar to our current timekeeping system. It included one year equal to 365 days in length. Each year included 12 months. The Egyptians divided each month into 30 days; however, at the end of every year there existed five additional days. According to the KM.Tic calendar, the year is 6256 AFK (After the Founding of KM.T) https://m.timecenter.com/articles/a-history-of-time-and-ancient-calendars/ |

IMO01: Yea you are right, i once read about the Berbers that conquered the Iberian peninsula. People like Tarif Ibn Malik and Tarq Ibn Ziyad. According to English historian Edward Gibbon (1737-1794). Tarif accompanied by 400 African berbers successfully carried out mission in South Iberia. An important port city in Tarifa in southern Spain is named after him. This city was the first port in history where fees were charged from merchants for the use of berths. This is where the term "tariff" comes from. On the basis of Tarif's intelligence operation, Arab general also of Berberian origin from the Nafza tribe, Tariq ibn Ziyad (670-720) Tariq commanded an army of 10,000 people, mostly berbers from Sanhaji union. In 711, brave Tariq with his expeditionary forces of 7,000 berbers crossed the strait and landed near a rock that was latwr named in his honour, Gibraltar. The word "Gibraltar" is a hispanicized version of an Arab phrase "Jabal Tariq". In August of 711, Tariq won a decisive victory over the European army.

Re: African Origin Of Civilisation by Amujale(m): 2:31pm On May 22, 2020 |
Our historians have already determined the approximate length of the reign of each Pharoah that reigned on the Late Bronze Age in KM.T. For instance, Ramesses II also known as 'The Great' 1279 - 1214 lived as a very old man and was mummified. On the walls of his Pyramid the Ancient Egyptians taught us their real history, one of these wall paintings is called 'The Battle of Kadesh' here its depicted that the warrior-king Pharaoh beats down and forced a hostile army to flee into the surrounding waters. Many of the hostile armies are depicted to have been killed or drowned by the forces of Pharaoh as depicted in the 20th century re-copy. Ramesses II in his chariot at the Battle of Kadesh (battle between the Egyptians and the Hittites of Muwatalli II, took place in 1274 BCE). Image is dated 1285 BCE
