CHAPTER 6
UNSHACKLE YOUR MIND
AFRIKAN BELIEFS AND RELIGION
by John R. MooreIt should now be clear from the research on the origins of civilization, that the Afrikans along the Nile were the ones who created the world's first civilization and also laid the foundation for western civilization by teaching the Greeks philosophy, astronomy, religion and the sciences.
This is the way the people of the Nile Valley pictured themselves on the so called Hieroglyphics, the Greek word, or Medu Netjer (Neter/Neder) the Afrikan term, which means the writing of the gods. Medu is the word and Netjer is the spirit or force or God, so the Holy writing or sacred writing, is what hieroglyphics means. Higher writing is probably what the Greeks meant by it, but what the Afrikans meant was the sacred text or sacred writing.
When these carvings and human images are shown, you see elements that will help you to get a fix on the nature of those people. For example, just analysing the way this man is dressed should give you a clue. Who dresses that way in 110 degree temperature with the sun blazing down at high noon? Unless you are heavily pigmented, you will not be able to stand outside in the sunlight for any lengthy period of time without being harmed by the rays, but this is the typical form of dress for the Afrikan who even today can indeed stand in the sunlight and be dressed only in a cloth like that which becomes the Masonic apron, by the way. Look at it very carefully and examine that little kilt or apron that is being worn by the person.
That image is of Tera Neter who was one of the early kings before Egypt became a nation back into the pre-dynastic history. There were at least a thousand years of good civilization before Egypt in that same location. Remember the first date in human history that can be documented for the calendar is about 4,236 BC., which is when the Afrikans in the Nile Valley already had a 365 day a year calendar, the same calendar that is being used today. So this date is long before the 3,100 years BC that Egypt starts, so you had to have a lot of high tech activities going on even before the beginning of Egypt, and with people who looked like that.
Egyptians referred to themselves by the word KM. Note the hieroglyph in the underlined sentence. On the left side you will see something that looks like a little stair step which is the hieroglyphic symbol or Medu Netjer symbol for KM. It is sitting over something that looks like half a ball, which is the hieroglyph for T, so we get KMT (Kemet) out of which words like chemistry, chemical, Kham and so forth originate. In other words, all of those words are derived from the same root.
The fact is, this is the strongest word in the Egyptian language for Black. It also has two little people sitting beside it which means that it is talking about Black People, although for some distorted reason people would like you to believe that it only means the Black land which it could, but it really means the Black people of the Black land. So not only do we have physical proof but we also have the names that Egyptians called themselves, they called themselves Black people.
Here is a picture that the Egyptians drew of their homeland on their pottery. This is only a sketch and not the actual object of the items that appear on the pottery revealing that the ancient Egyptians remember scenes from up the river. The animals in these pictures are found south of Egypt, so these are scenes that recall their own cultural connections to the Afrikan interior.
When the Aswan Dam was built some 400 miles south of Cairo, it began to flood almost all of the country of Nubia. If you look at the Nile from the air, people reside only 2 or 3 miles on either side, and when you go beyond that point you are in desert land. You can almost stand anywhere up the river with one foot on the Black land and the other on the red land; one foot on the fertile land and the other on the desert land.
Since the Nubians lived that close to the river it meant that anytime a dam is built nearby, it would flood what amounts to the living land of a people. So now the Nubian population who lived south of Egypt in the Sudan, has a lake which is 450 miles long covering their homeland. This is a long lake covering all of the liveable land or all of the Black dirt, leaving only the red dirt or sand, so eventually the Nubian people had to be moved and relocated. Many of them went to Egypt and now live there as Nubian citizens.
But the important point is that before the lake covered the land, UNESCO and other western nations of the world contributed funds to help rescue articles that made up the history of those people from being covered over. That is where you will find pottery, bones, artefacts, building structures and so forth that help to recreate the historical past. The cemeteries, which is one of the major places that you can get bodies to see what the people of the area looked like are also covered over.
So when the Aswan Dam was built, the chance to finish finding out the story of the Afrikans who were immediately south of Egypt in Nubian was destroyed as it is now covered under water, and being covered each year with more and more mud that comes down from Southern Afrika.
However, before that happened, this sketch of an incense burner was published on the front page of the New York Times. This was done by rolling the wooden incense burner over in clay in order to make the impression so that you could see what the images on the side of the incense burner looked like. What is important about this is the fact that it helps to establish a date for Ta Seti, the nation south of Egypt that was even older than Egypt.
On this incense burner there are three boat litters. In the middle one there is a Pharaoh sitting with the crown of the south on his head. He has the flail in his hand and a bird right up over his right shoulder in a tree, which is the way the bird Horus which represents the God Horus is always shown. This means that in Ta Seti, 200 years before Egypt even gets started, there is Horus, Osiris and Isis already being worshipped by the people of Ta Seti as the first Holy family.
The bodies found of the people of Ta Seti are described as tall with full Negroid features by the people who dug them up. So not only do we have a nation south of Egypt, but we have a physical description of the people who populated that nation, and a cultural description of what they were doing, showing that essentially the elements of government and religion that would be found later in Egypt were not native to Egypt but came from the south of Egypt where even Blacker people lived.
In fact, the Blackest people on the continent of Afrika, the truly dark people appear mainly in that Nubian section of Afrika, with the blue tint. (Remember the song "We are the people darker than blue" by Curtis Mayfield.the most beautiful people in the world even by the Greeks and Romans, and even Homer talked about them in glowing terms. So these were the people that developed that civilization. This is an image of one of them showing the way they looked when they carved either their God or their people, and they still look like the people there. This is at one of those grave sites.
Here is one of the combs they used which should look very familiar. Willie Morrow is a writer from San Diego who wrote the book "400 years Without a Comb." He is a barber, and what he was calling attention to is the fact that Black people in America had been on the continent for 400 years, and during that whole time if you looked for an artefact that should have been with them, you would discover that they had lost their comb and therefore they cut their hair short. Black people did not know that there were appropriate instruments for the texture of Black hair such as the pick. The pick only came back in during the 60's but Afrikans were still using it on their continent, while Black-Americans had lost their memory about what was appropriate for Black people, so they resorted to using fine teeth combs and hair products like Brylcreem, because "a little dab'll do you", but it never did.
The point is that if it were so easy to lose an essential item like the comb, then it is also just as easy to lose the memory of your culture. This is why we have to go back and reconstruct the evidence of what our people did, which this research is attempting to do.
Contrary to popular beliefs, Black people were always worshippers of one God, so never let anyone suggest that monotheism was created by anybody other than Afrikans, because Afrikans never knew anything other than monotheism. They may have had different forms of monotheism but nothing other than monotheism.
They also had different manifestations of God which confused the white missionaries who could not think abstractly, so they thought that every time a new name was called that the Afrikans were talking about a new God. For example, here is the great God Re (Ra) at the top who has two children, Shu and Tefnut but those are not gods but aspects of the one God, Shu being the air and Tefnut being the moisture. Look at Geb and Nut; Geb represents the earth while Nut represents the sky.
No one thinks of the sky as being God, but simply a manifestation of God. In other words, these features of the deity became identified as separate Deities in the minds of the people who came to Afrika, but the Afrikans never thought of it in that way. They always thought of these things as powers of the one God who was always the head, being the unseen, unknown, unknowable and whose name could not even be spoken. In the south of Egypt that God is usually called Amon (Amen/Amun/Ammun). So the Egyptians never had a name for Him, but the word Amen simply meant God who is hidden. It is from this very source that the word Amen which is uttered in many of the western religions was inherited, which is to this unknown God. Our prayers end with Amen or Amon, which means He who is hidden, but who though hidden, is the source of all life, power and health.
Below is an example of the God Min on the left, and the goddess or power or aspect of God known as MAAT on the right. MAAT stands for truth, justice and righteousness and has always been the major or national Afrikan principle, as opposed to other nations that are warlike and who have as their national principle, conquering the world, conquering eternity, conquering space and so on.
What the Afrikans wanted when they were truly doing the things they thought best, was to live according to the highest principles of God manifest through MAAT, which means truth, justice and righteousness. There is probably no other nation in the history of human kind that has ever had a higher order of goals.
Look again at another of the Deities or gods on the left, who looks as if he is wearing an afro. He is the pre-dynastic God Osiris, who is always shown as a Black God and also known as The Good Shepherd. This particular image of Osiris on the right was created in the old kingdom, but there are other images of Osiris that were created earlier than that, which show Osiris as a Black God. By the way, note that Osiris has a crook like the shepherd's crook in one hand and the flail in the other. He was known as the Good Shepherd which was the first time that God was referred to as the Good Shepherd.
Osiris was married to Isis, who was the first virgin mother in the world. She had a son whose name was Heru or as the Greeks called him, Horus. So the son of God was born of a virgin and has the same qualities as God.
The Greeks changed all these Afrikan names because Osiris is really the Greek word, whereas his Afrikan name is Ausar (Asar/Asa) and his wife's name is Auset (Aset/Ast), but the Greeks called her Isis. Heru is her son's name but the Greeks named him Horus. As a result of these name changes, you begin to lose the original meanings.
This was the First Holy Family in human history which is currently imitated, or at least there is a strange resemblance between this holy family and the Christian holy family, where you have God the Father, the virgin mother and the Son of God in Christ. In any case, this model was already present in Afrika at the beginning of Egyptian (Kemetic) civilization.
By the way, that God Asar was crucified and his body was split into parts and buried all over Egypt. His head was supposed to be buried at Abdju which the Greeks called Abydos. Therefore Asar was the first crucified saviour. His wife collected all the parts together and dedicated places for them, which became the source of the world's first passion play. When there were passion plays at Easter, pilgrims would come from all over the world and go to the grave of Osiris in Abdju (Abydos) to act out the death, burial and resurrection of Asar (Osiris). This site still exists today which used to be called The Holy Land, but there are now other places that are called The Holy Land.
On the right is another picture of Ausar/Asar (Osiris) who is shown this time in human form as a pigmy. This is the way he is shown in the sacred text when the Afrikans drew him. To the left is the first picture or sketch there is of The Immaculate Conception, where Asar/Asa (Osiris) can be seen lying down with his phallus raised. The bird hovering over the phallus is the image of Ast/Auset/Aset (Isis) who is being impregnated by Asar, after which the son of Asar will be born from this virgin mother. Below is the actual picture of the Immaculate Conception as it appeared on the wall of the temple of Seti I in Abdju which is difficult to see.
This is Khnum which is an aspect of God, and one of the images that Afrikans had of God being portrayed as the creator. He has a human body and a ram's head and is seen making a man on his potter's wheel.
So this image that we visualize in the old spiritual "thou art the potter, I am the clay, make me and mould me after thy will", can be found on the walls of temples all up and down the Nile. That is the way they conceived God to be as the creator.
At Memphis, the name of God was Ptah, (left) the Supreme Being or the One God. At Abdju (Abydos) they called Him Amon (Amun/ Amen), while at other places he may have been known by different names but they all referred to the one and only Deity.
Their images are being shown so you can see that they are not unlike the Afrikans who still live there today. On the right is the God Geb. What is being pointed out here is that all of these images are Afrikan in nature, and they appear in the first 1,000 years before any invasions.
That is why it is so important to have the dates correct, because at the point when you begin to see images of Egyptians who look like Europeans, we are not talking about the old kingdom, we are not talking about the pyramid age, we are not talking about the temple age, we are talking about The Greco-Roman period. We are talking about the time after everything had already been created, and all they are doing is urban renewal.
Here is the first president of Egypt. His name is Mina or Menes as called by the Egyptians, or Minos as called by the Greeks, but the important thing to note is that he again came from the south. In other words, every time you had a high tech civilization in Egypt, the leader usually came from the south. What is needed in order to get the story of Egypt straight is a calendar similar to the one that exists of U.S presidents starting with George Washington. Anyone looking at such a calendar with the presidential faces of America would know that the country had been run by white males the whole time it has been here. A lecture on it would not be necessary. Now if there were a calendar of Egyptian Pharaohnic faces from the earliest time right up to the present, there would be no need for a study like this either.
On the left is a sketch of this artist's palace showing the king knocking his enemies over the head with his mace. On the right is the picture of the actual object for comparison. This action, by the way, is now imitated every year at graduation ceremonies where the professor carries a mace. This idea of the mace was already present and has influenced the idea of the mace as a symbol of authority and responsibility some 3,100 years ago BC.
Below are images of some of the early Pharaohs who were in the first, second and third dynasties, that give us a chance to see what their carvings looked like, and later their mummies will be shown.
