Wonderful

Indeed.

This is what should be taught to kids in schools in Africa and not all those bunch of lies that Mungo Park discovered the river Niger. The educational curriculum needs an overhaul. Nigerian children are still being taught the same crappy curriculum that the British left behind for us in 1960. Our educators in Nigeria are too lazy to throw the entire curriculum in the garbage and create a new one. Oh well! That is why our people are still worshiping oyibo today while simultaneously hating anyone who looks like them.

Op,

Even if you slice their block heads open and educate them, they won't use it or believe it.

Call it mental block, blind spots or whatever, the inferiority complex is deep.

Yeah... I notice how most of them avoid commenting on the thread.

Maybe they're busy reflecting on its power and truth.

It is indeed a sad situation. If this thread was about some African failure of some sort, they would have all pounced on the thread to utter their usual put-downs of themselves and their continent.

Papyrus of Maiherpi.

This is one of the oldest written documents in existence. Over 5,000 years old. It shows an Egyptian scribe and intellectual, Mairherpi, who was also the author of the script. At the time this script was written, no literate European state existed, and none was to exist for another 2,000 years, when Greece finally became their first, around 800 BC, by borrowing heavily from Egyptian civilization.

Review of 'Stolen Legacy' by GM James

http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/32/001.html

Chapter three shows that the so-called 'Greek Philosophy' was just an offspring of the Egyptian Mystery System. All the arts, philosophy and religion, credited to the Greeks had been in existence in Egypt thousands of years before the Greeks were permitted to learn them. 'The earliest theory of salvation is the Egyptian theory. The Egyptian Mystery System has as its most important object, the deification of man, and taught that the soul of man if liberated from its bodily fetters, could enable him to become godlike and see the Gods in this life and attain the beatific vision and hold communion with the immortals.' (Ancient Mysteries, C.H. Vail. P.32)

Close attention should be paid to the foregoing paragraph. What that simply means is that a system of beliefs that Africans evolved thousands of years ago, has been distorted and use to abuse the Africans today!

When Western mythorians roll out Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, they fail to tell their audience how these guys were persecuted by their own government. These 'philosophers' were persecuted for exactly the same reason - 'introducing strange divinities.'

Socrates charge sheet read, in part, 'Socrates committed a crime by not believing in the Gods of the city, and by introducing other new divinities. He also commited a crime by corrupting the youth.' He was further accused of ''busying himself with investigating things beneath the earth and in the sky, and who makes the worse appear the better reason, and who teaches others the same thing.''

Whereas astronomy was part of the required study in the Egyptian schools, the Athenian government was persecuting its citizens for pursuing such studies. Who, now, is the father of what?

Chapter three further dealt with the Egyptian mystery systems and showed its close correlation with what has been wrongly attributed to the Greeks. Even the structures of the Lodges are built to Egyptian standards.

The conquest of Alexander and the destruction of the Lodges and the libraries plus the edicts of Theodosius and Justinian suppressed the Egyptian mystery systems and the Greek philosophy schools alike, paving the way for christianity which is nothing but a badly mis-understood Egyptian religion.

In chapter four, we learn how the Greeks were allowed into Egypt where they had been banned for several years. 'Owing to the practice of piracy, in which the Ionians, and Garians were active, the Egyptians were forced to make immigration laws restricting the immigration of the Greeks and punishing their infringement by capital punishment, i.e, the sacrifice of the victim.' - p.41. It was Egyptian king Amasis who lifted the restriction and allowed the Greeks to enter Egypt as mercenaries - they were not permitted to study until the Persian invasion. And it was not until the Alexandrian conquest that they gained access to the libraries, most especially the Royal Library at Alexandria, which was converted into a Greek city.

Plato himself attested to the fact (in his Timaeus) that Greek aspirants to wisdom visited Egypt for initiation, and that the Egyptian priests referred to them as children in the mysteries..

It was Herodotus who informed us that Pythagoras was allowed into Egypt only after Polycrates (king of his native Samos and a friend of Amasis) gave him a letter of introduction. Even after that, he had to undergo several trials including circumcision which was compulsory - "Apud Aegyptios nullus aut geometrica studebat, aut astonomiae secreta remabatur, nisi circumcisione suscepta,' (No one among the Egyptians, either studied geometry, or investigated the secrets of Astronomy, unless circumcision had been undertaken.)" - p.44. It was to Pythagoras that the world is giving credit for a theorem that the Egyptians most certainly used in building their pyramids!

Herodotus, Diogenes, Laertuis informed us that Democritus travelled to Egypt to receive instructions from the priests. Plato was also shown to have undergone similar pilgrimage.

In Chapter five through chapter seven, George James analyzed the doctrines of the so-called Greek philosophers and convincingly show their Egyptian origin. From pre-Socratic 'Philosophers' like Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes and Pythagoras to Eleatic 'philosophers' like Xenophanes, Parmenides, Zeno and Melissus, to the Ionian school of Heraclitus, Anaxagoras and Democritus, he showed that what history has attributed to these impostors were nothing but what they copied from the Egyptians.

In these, the most important chapters, James concluded that the Greeks were guilty of plagiarism of the highest order.

Chapter eight dealt with the Memphite Theology which 'is an inscription on a stone, now kept in the British Museum. It contains the theological, cosmological and philosophical views of the Egyptians. It has already been referred to in my treatment of Plato's doctrines; but it must be repeated here to show its full importance as the basis of the entire field of Greek philosophy.' p. 139. Here James show how portions of the philosophy of the Memphite Theology were assigned to the Greeks. This is a very important chapter as it throws enough light, not only on the whole argument of where the Greek got the ideas credited to them, but also about the true source of modern scientific knowledge.'

BLACK AFRICANS INVENTED PAPER AND INK


Paper and ink, which we now consider inseparable from the written word, were ancient Egyptian inventions. It was not paper as we know it today, but a precursor called papyrus, named after the grassy reeds that grew along the Nile, from which the material was made.

For many years, historians have been trying to determine the exact methods used by the Egyptians for turning this plant into a writing surface, but the records are frustratingly obscure. It is thought, however, that the first step involved cutting the stem into strips, after which they were soaked to expand the fibers, and laid down in overlapping layers. They were then compressed, either hammered, rolled or pressed, until the layers fused to form a flat surface, although ancient papyrus was nowhere near as smooth as modern paper. The dry Egyptian climate meant that documents made out of papyrus were incredibly long-lasting.

There was little point to all that papyrus, however, unless there was some way of writing on it. The Mesopotamians had carved their letters into clay, stone and wax, but the Egyptians came up with the less strenuous method of using ink. They made this by grinding a number of different pigments and ores together with water to form a thick liquid that could be applied to papyrus with a brush or stylus. By combining different natural substances, such as copper, iron, quartz and malachite, the Egyptians were able to produce ink in a variety of colors, although black, red and blue are the most common.

Black Africans Invented The Calendar And Timekeeping

Today’s recognizable calendar and methods of timekeeping were Egyptian inventions. Based on the cycles of sun and moon, the Egyptian calendar was divided into twelve months of 30 days each, along with five additional days at the end of the year to bring the total up to 365. It is plain to see how this invention has stood the test of time. The Egyptians recognized only three seasons, which were used by farmers to determine when crops needed to be sown and reaped.

The Egyptians were not only the first to plot the days, months, and years still used today, but they were also responsible for the first timekeeping devices. Discovered in 2013, the earliest known sundial was excavated in the Valley of the Kings, dating from roughly 1500 BC. Yet this was not the first example of a timekeeping device.

Huge obelisks, first constructed 2000 years earlier, were used to tell the time from the way that their shadows fell over its engravings, and around the same time as the first sundial, the Egyptians made the water clock. Being able to tell the time facilitated a far more organized and efficient society, meaning that the invention of these devices may perhaps have enabled many of the other innovations made by the ancient Egyptians.

Black Africans Invented Tables and Chairs

Hatnefer’s Chair, 1492-73 BC, via The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Note African features on the man's face on the chair


The humble chair and table might seem like a fairly mundane part of everyday life. However, before ancient Egyptian inventions such as tables and chairs, people simply sat on the floor or small stools, and used large blocks or primitive benches as surfaces. And then, around the mid-third millennium BC, came an explosion in the art of furniture, as intricately carved items began to be created in Egypt.

Mainly made out of wood and alabaster, Egyptian tables consisted of a smooth platform raised off the ground with either a pedestal or legs, which were sometimes separate or detachable elements. Their purpose was much the same as modern tables, with evidence of ancient tables used for dining, writing, and playing board games.

The Egyptian chair, however, was quite different. It was not a universal piece of household furniture found in any home or public place, but instead a status symbol, a luxury enjoyed only by the elite. While peasants and farmers might sit on stools, the wealthy or royal Egyptians had proper chairs with backs and armrests. Ancient chairs have been discovered fashioned out of precious materials, such as ivory and ebony, embellished with expensive metals, and meticulously decorated with the carved figures of animals, plants or deities.

Black Africans Invented The Lock and Key

At first, homes and buildings were protected by a simple bolt placed across the door, but during the second millennium BC, the Egyptian inventions of lock and key became the new security systems.

Although undoubtedly less complex than modern keys, the ancient Egyptian tumbler lock represents a significant shift in the history of engineering. Inside, several pins formed a series of mini bolts, and when the matching key was inserted, its prongs lifted these up to allow the bolt to be pulled back and the door opened. Early examples of these were large, sometimes 2 feet long, and were made out of wood. As with the furniture and cosmetics invented during the Egyptian age, however, locks were not common; they were most often used to protect the rooms and possessions of the wealthy, and have even been found inside the great pyramids that served as the tombs of Egypt’s rulers.

Nice one OP...


But why did the civilization fall?

Every human civilization that rises must fall one day, to be replaced by others.

Greece, Rome, Babylon, China, Aztecs etc all fell and were replaced.

Civilizations fall because man is fallible, not infallible.

But civilizations rise back up in their turn, and Africa's turn is next, after Asia.

I pray so oooo...

Civilization falls when it is abused...

When there is more evil practices than good ones, civilization falls

Victerica:

It is not that straightforward. When civilizations fall, it is is usually due to a multiplicity of factors, both internal to the civilization, and external to it.

What constitute 'evil practices' or 'good practices' are really a matter of opinion and judgement/worldview, and are even subject to the flow of time, ie what was considered evil a thousand years ago is considered good or harmless today, and vice versa.

The more relevant element is vulnerability. How vulnerable has your civilization become to collapse? Any number of things could cause it.

You could have foreign enemies desperate for your resources, who then develop deadlier weapons of war than you, and then invade and defeat you.

You may have leadership infighting and royal succession quarrels that may lead to a divided empire, making you easier to invade and topple.

You could fall to climatic changes, eg the desertification of the once fertile Sahara desert causing empires to disappear and their people to flee southwards, to more challenging environments.

It could be a combination of all the above factors, plus others, which lead to the fall of a civilization.

All these problems are caused and amplified by man inhumanity to man....

The Bible is a book that contains the fall of some major civilizations.

The Egyptian for example fail because of their barbaric practices...

Man is the highest natural resources, created by God and if man is abused, then the abuser will definitely fall...

Expand your knowledge beyond the bible.

Read other history books to gain a more rounded perspective devoid of religiosity.

What 'barbaric practices' are you referring to in Egypt?

Every country, till today, indulges in ''barbaric practices'' of some kind, so, reasons for the fall of civilizations go well beyond that.

Your post is pure illiterate garbage, regurgitating colonial rubbish, lies, and whitewashing of African history.

THE ANCIENT DYNASTIC EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK AFRICANS. QED. The real name of Egypt was KEMET, meaning 'black nation'.

If you visit Egypt today and explore their tomb art, you will not see white people in the paintings. You will see BLACKS.

Another typically wrong-headed, misguided response.

How is the world leaving Africa behind when your grand or great grandparents were stark illiterate village peasants under colonial subjugation, but you today are educated and living in a sovereign country filled with factories, flyovers, expressways, universities, banks, airports, and shopping malls?

Fact is you are catching up with the modern world, after years of slavery and colonisation, not the other way round.

You don't have ethics of talking to people especially strangers, Do you have to abuse before you make a point? I admit I didn't read it through to that extent, but your reply reeks of much ignorance.

OK, with all these fancy statements about the past, why can't Africans carry the same to this present time and perhaps into the future, why are Africans so backward now?
Chinese, Russians, Japanese, etc were great before and they are still great now. What happens to the continuity theory as regards Africans?
You will likely tell me that some people came and dissuade us, bla, bla, bla! But somebody who does not have any standing principle can be easily swayed by anybody!

6 of the world's 10 fastest growing economies are in Africa, so what are you talking about? The continent is moving. The problem is you and your ilk drowning in negativity and colonial mentality, with your heads stuck in admiration of the west when you should be patronising African economies and destinations.

When you self-hating Africans travel, you run to Dubai, London, New York. You ignore Abidjan, Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Maputo, Dakar, Kigali, Dar e salaam and Mombasa because you've been conditioned and brainwashed to see all Africa as 'backward,' whereas those are lovely, well-governed, fast developing places that should be seeing your tourism and investment capital, not Dubai and Paris and London and New York.

Insist on buying African - made goods and services as first choice rather than European or American made. That way you boost employment and industry big time in Africa and grow the economy.

So get YOUR heads right and stop feeling racially inferior, and everything else falls into place.
