The schools in the West have never taught about Black classical cultures, such as the Etruscans who preceded Rome in Italy. To accelerate the education on these preeminent societies, schools must begin to ensure that primary source depictions, not the fraudulent modern artists' drawings, be promulgated in today's institutions. Early Rome was a colony of Etruria.

Africa's True Size Distorted by Maps... .

Because of distortions on the Mercator maps, we now know that the general depiction of Africa on the world's maps is undersized. A true representation of the continent reveals that the combined land masses of the United States, China, Western Europe, India, Eastern Europe, Mexico, and Japan would fit into Africa. Source Link

The Pyramid at Memphis, Tennessee

The modern-day pyramid in Memphis, USA, has a lot of upside for tourism. I was there recently and shot this cell phone footage. Back when the Rameses the Great exhibit visited Memphis, quite a few years ago, there was no mention, at the time, that Rameses was a Black man. Also known as Rameses II, he is depicted on the walls of his queen Nefertari. The coverup of Black classical cultures is egregious, to say the least.

Reconnecting Blacks: the Global Diaspora

Western colonialism worked to separate Blacks in the Western Hemisphere from those in the Eastern Hemisphere. Melanated people, whether from Africa proper or around the globe maintain the same melanin as the early Africans, who migrated to the regions. Just as Europeans in Britain and New Zealand are both considered white, so are melanated people, around the globe, Black African descendants. More recent research has shown that Polynesians traversed the Pacific Nazca Ridge to the Americas.

Novel on White Slavery in Eastern Europe

Most Americans are unaware of white slavery, imposed by the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey), on the Slavic nations of Eastern Europe from 1453 to the late 19th century. And to some degree imposed by the Arabs in North Africa on Western Europeans. Author Linda Keres Carter, of Serbian descent, addresses it in her book The Tudjina, Mirrors in Black & White. Keres-Carter says in her book that an estimated 3.5 million boys were stolen from Serbia alone during the 500-year occupation by the Ottomans--above and beyond the adults enslaved. She says she found herself gravitating to African Americans when she grew up in Chicago, because she recognized a kindred history and struggle with Blacks. "Over in Serbia we were going through 500 years of terroristic rule. The testimony of a Serb against a Turk was inadmissable in court... . We had no rights they were bound to respect." She says, "If a Serb and a Turk passed in the road, the Serb was to get out of the road and let the Turk pass." Keres-Carter uses the spirit voices of her Serbian ancestors to tell the story of a fictional Serbian girl, who learns to navigate American oppression, which so clearly mirrors Serbian history.

Whoopi Goldberg's Ethnic Firestorm Underpinnings

Click Link: Whoopi Goldberg's Ethnic Firestorm Underpinnings

While Jewish academic Henry Abramson disagrees with the idea that current-day Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Khazar converts in the 8th century, a critique of his video and an earlier one on the Khazar conversion to Judaism reveals gaping holes in his positions. For one, he never answers what happened to the Khazarian people. Flourishing empires don't just disappear without a trace. 

Meanwhile, the original Semites, where the Hebrews derived from, Genesis 10:22, the sons of Shem, were Black men, the Elamites (Mesopotamia). They did not just disappear from the Earth. There are still primary source artifacts that reveal who they were. And frankly, Abramson's findings surrounding Khazar grave artifacts with Jewish emblems are instructive.

The Whoopi Goldberg firestorm deserves a broader critique by America. Currently, the Israeli state receives $3.8 billion a year from the United States--Israel has been recieving funding from the U.S. since its founding in 1948.  Those dollars would do justice for the much-needed Black reconstruction.

The True Image of Nefertiti vs the German Fraud

National Geographic magazine is at it again. This time they're displaying the iconic fake Nefertiti bust (see Guardian article) currently housed in the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, on the cover of its Jan./Feb. 2022 issue. In its 2018 issue on race, an editor said: "For decades our coverage was racist. To rise above our past we must acknowledge it... ." Well, they might begin by pointing out the fraudulent current edition and revamp their past white supremacist leanings. The Nile River flows organically from the highlands of the Great Lakes region of Central Africa and historically deposited primordial people along its banks down to Egypt, where many migrated to the rest of the world, establishing the first great civilizations.----- Above photo: Talat of Nefertiti, from Armana, Egypt -- Link: Meritaten, a daughter of Nefertiti

Christian White Slaves, Muslim Masters

Photo: A Meccan merchant (right) and his Circassian slave. by Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje, c. 1888
From as early as the 14th century to the 19th century, white Christian chattel slavery ran concurrently with the transatlantic slave trade. Under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire, upwards of 2.5 million Eastern European slaves were captured. And in Western Europe, historian Robert Davis has estimated that 1.25 million Europeans were enslaved by Barbary Coast pirates, with the sanctioning of Libya, Algiers, Tunisia, and Morroco in North Africa. Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands coastlines were said to have been depleted, in some periods, by the raids. Merchant and passenger ships along with fishermen were also targeted by Muslim and European privateers. Sources: Davis, Robert.

"The American Narrative Killed George Floyd"

How police officers are informed about Black people contributed to Derek Chauvin's callous treatment of George Floyd, when he kept his knee on Floyd's neck, killing him. "The American narrative on Black people is inaccurate from ground zero. In 1619 North America, Blacks and whites were indentured servants, contrary to contemporary frameworks. Meanwhile, whites and Blacks were in jeopardy of being enslaved, during the period, by state-sanctioned Barbary Coast Pirates. Fishermen, coastal villagers and whites in general in England and France, to the Netherlands, were prey to enslavement by maritime prowlers, who were offshoots of the ongoing Ottoman slave trade in Eastern Europe, and the Caucasus.

2020 Census -- Black Egyptians White

Dr. Mostafa Hefny, a native Black Egyptian, is identified by the United States government as white. He has been fighting the U.S. for over 30 years to classify him, and those like him, under his proper designation--a Black man. But the U.S. Census in 2020 still listed all Egyptians as white. Arab-descended Egyptians did not conquer Egypt until circa 639-646 A.D., with the onslaught of Amr ibn al-'As and his troops. Since as early as 1915, W.E.B. DuBois fought against the white framing of Egypt, in his writings. And French journalist Constantin Volney published his book "The Ruins" of Empires in the mid to latter 1700s, which lauded the heritage of the Egyptians as Black people. Mostapha Hefny would like this cleared up via the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris administration.

The documentary was accurate in portraying a Black Hannibal, which extant sources corroborate. But the surrounding soldiers, though some were Black in the film, were European looking for the most part, in this modern version. The filmmaker did note that many of Hannibal's soldiers were from the Italian countryside. Rome had emerged as a colony of Etruria, (Etruscan coin, possibly Hannibal), even the so-called barbarian tribesmen would have been more mixed-looking than the film illustrates. There were still Etruscan city states in the time of the Punic Wars.

American Indians Were Darker in Early America

When European explorers first reached the Americas, they thought they had landed on the eastern shores of India. Their drawings of Native Americans were of dark, swarthy people; many of them depicted with frizzy hair like that of the early Dravidians, of India, and Africans.
Today, progressive scholars are beginning to recognize that, indeed, the American Indian is the same phenotype as the Eastern Indian. And the preposterous racial classifications of Johann Blumenbach are being shown for what they were, European fallacies. Photo left: Early Dutch depiction of Indians in the New York - Delaware area.
Photo above: Sitting Bull with his family. As outlined earlier on this blog, the Early Africans migrated along the shores of the Indian Ocean reaching India, the Pacific Islands, and southern and eastern Asia. The volcanic islands of the Pacific, meanwhile, over the epochs, were stepping stones to the Americas. Asians from the North intermingled with the Africans to foster the red man. The writings of Vasco da Gama and others indicate that they were aware of swarthy people on all parts of the Earth.

Greece (the Minoans), Rome (the Etruscans), Egypt (Kemet), Assyria, Persia, Sumer, the Pacific Islands, and I could go on with the results of primary source findings, which conclusively reveal that the Machiavellian Trump-type tactics of the current status quo are contributing greatly to the misinformation consumed by Blacks, and others, throughout the Diaspora. Let us join together and challenge the presidential candidates, for 2020, that they will select a Secretary of Education who will summarily correct the colonialist vestiges we're still immersed in.

Black Panther, an African-Renaissance Film

The movie Black Panther represents the essence of everything we’ve desired in a Black-genre film, iconoclastic, trendsetting, intelligent, and visionary. It frames the African world outside the boilerplate European-influenced constraints that have come to define Black filmmaking. Wakanda, a small African nation that neighbors (fictional) Narobia, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, has a breathtaking skyline in its capital city, Birnin Zanda, reminiscent of a blended Nairobi, Kenya and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, cityscape, give or take another fifty to one-hundred years of unimpeded progress. But in the movie, the Kingdom of Wakanda is real, and it’s now. The scenery and costumes are dazzling and evocative of the incipience that is primordial Africa, the mother continent of us all. Add-in the maternal instincts of female imperial guards and mostly African characters, and we have the makings of an African-renaissance film that we can all be proud of. In the movie, Black Panther’s uncle had left an illegitimate African-American son in Oakland, California (in 1966) after he was killed following revelations that he was involved in selling vibranium, a precious metal derived from a meteorite collision in present-day Wakanda centuries ago. The valuable metal’s impact on a native herb is what gives Black Panther (T’Challa) his powers, and Wakanda its technological and financial wealth. T’Challa learns of the story of his uncle during the same period that his first cousin, the illegitimate African-American son, brings back the dead body of a pernicious vibranium dealer. The conflict between the African-American cousin (Erik Killmonger) and T’Challa reaches a climatic end that explicates the current real-world narrative of African-American, African relations. Characterizations like the dogmatic Jabari tribe, which evokes thoughts of Hebrew-Israelite brothers on America’s and London's street corners make for introspective analysis on the Black liberation struggle.

Images of the Moors Proliferated in Europe

Throughout Europe, there remain family crests, statues, busts, and ornaments dedicated to the Moors who rescued Europe from the dark ages. The Moors brought enormous learning to Spain that over centuries would percolate through the rest of Europe. The intellectual achievements of the Moors in Spain had a lasting effect; education was universal in Moorish Spain, while in Christian Europe, 99 percent of the population was illiterate, and even kings could neither read nor write. At a time when Europe had only two universities, the Moors had seventeen, located in Almeria, Cordova, Granada, Juen, Malaga, Seville, and Toledo. Source: Atlanta Black Star.
The Moors were in Spain from 711 - 1492, until the fall of Granada.

The out-of-Africa paradigm that early Africans traveled overland to the far reaches of the world needs to be modified to reflect the  more natural patterns of migration, which would have occurred along the Indian Ocean shores. The Dravidians of India, Indonesian, and Pacific Island Black people emerged from natural generation-to-generation migrations of Africans following the coastlines. In some cases, Monsoon storms would have transported lost boaters across the expanse in short periods.

European explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano (1524-1528 travels) concerning some of the Indians in the Carolinas: "They are dark in color, not unlike the Ethiopians, with thick black hair, not very long, tied back behind the head like a small tail. As for the physique of these men, they are well proportioned, of medium height, a little taller than we are. They have broad chests, strong arms, and the legs and other parts of the body are well composed."

The primary source findings on my blog, here, show conclusively that America is not living up to its mantra of "freedom and justice for all." Modern artistic depictions of classical Black cultures such as the Minoans, Etruscans, Egyptians, and others reveal institutional complicity in the cover up of the epic saga of Black civilizations. It is time now to merge the full story of Black history with world history--to do anything less is to ensure the continued second-fiddle existence of Black children. Furthermore, full diffusion of our classic narrative will strengthen our esprit de corps, lessening the high crime rates in our communities, as our youth emerge with a fuller legacy to draw from.

A perusal of this blog indicates that world history, as we know it, should be revamped to ensure that all students get the truth about history and not the fallacies that have come to represent the current narrative. The Minoans, who fostered Greek civilization, are just one of the many Black cultures that have been obscured under Western colonialism. The Etruscans preceded Rome, in Italy. And the Middle East could well be called Northeast Africa, as all of the so-called Middle East was populated by Blacks prior to later admixtures. Egyptians, Assyrians, Akkadians, Ethiopians, and the Minoans, among others, comprised a trading block that represented the premier cultures of the pre-Eurocentric world.----- Link

Black History Month Update

Hannibal Barca, Commander of Carthage

This coin of Hannibal Barca is said to be carbon dated to the time of Hannibal, 247 – 183 B.C., while later European-looking images of the Carthaginian general are reportedly dated a century or more after his death.
Hannibal Barca, the historic Carthaginian commander, became famous for crossing the Alps with war elephants and his subsequent dominance of the Roman army during the Second Punic War.  

Hannibal’s troops won battle after battle against the Romans and were never defeated in Italy. In fact, he was set to breach the city of Rome but administrators in Carthage failed to send reinforcements and siege equipment needed to complete the campaign. In 202 B.C., Hannibal returned to Africa to defend Carthage against invading Roman military forces, and there he was finally defeated by Scipio Africanus at the battle of Zama.

Houston Chronicle photo of Tutankhamen exhibit

Kudos to the Houston Chronicle for covering this tomb wall painting of King Tut at the current exhibitition in that city. Media depictions of the Black pharaoh(s) and other Africans of the ancient world have been few and far between, in modern culture.

Biblical institutions must also step up and accurately display Blacks justly. The current imagery would have our children believe that African people have perpetually played second fiddle to Europeans, which is a total misnomer. In fact, much of what is called the Middle East today would be called Northeast Africa if proper geometric measures were used. Ancient Africans populated the so-called Middle East to Asia. Cush, Akkad (Akkadians), and Assyria, among others, comprised the Black lands.

Northeast Africans in the Melanesian Islands of New Guinea and Fiji are still evident. Bounded by Europe to the north and Asia to the east, the Middle East today is a region of amalgamized people.

Open Letter: Science Museum of Minnesota


`
Here in the Twin Cities, the NAACP of Saint Paul where I serve as communications chairman, has reached out to local media with "An Open Letter to the Science Museum of Minnesota" concerning the museum's "institutional complicity" in the misrepresentation of the ancient pharaohs--those who reigned for over a millennia prior to the Greek and Roman incursions.  Its National Geographic Society convened exhibit, "Tutankhamun: The Golden King and the Great Pharaohs," which impacts tens of thousands of African Americans in this city and millions around the globe, is blantantly, among other things, showing a documentary in its Omnitheater that depicts all of the pharaohs as Caucasian.  Rameses the II, also known as Rameses the Great, is featured prominently in the film as European-looking.

Thanks to a great African-American newspaper, this story has seen the light of day. Also, Minnesota Public Radio's Facebook page, Art Hounds, made note of the "Letter." But no news stories have been presented by public radio, any of the White newspapers, or the network TV stations. I am in contact with a Black television reporter who has been out of the office, but until he returns to work, I suppose it's business as usual in America's mainstream news industry. I will elaborate on the "black out" of African Americans in the nation's news rooms in another posting.

Here's what we're asking of the "Science Museum of Minnesota" as a corrective measure, since perhaps they're acting unwittingly on behalf of National Geographic. This is the only just way we see to initiate corrective action to the ongoing wrongs that are being depicted daily in the Omnitheater viewings. Why not present ads that feature King Tut as depicted from his tomb-wall painting and or a depiction of Tutankhamen from the throne picture that clearly shows him as African?

The current golden-coffin cover face depiction (that looks like the golden mask), and the little shabti figure (which may or may not be King Tut) continue to obscure the likeness of Tutankhamun, tacitly implying that he is White.  The museum is a steward of the public trust, and tax payers rely on institutions such as the Science Museum of Minnesota to tell the truth.  This is the North Star State. Science Museum of Minnesota, please show 'em where you're from.

The Truth about Hemiunu

 
Posted by Picasa
The statue of Hemiunu, the 4th dynasty vizier of Pharaoh Khufu, was purportedly found headless in 1912 by a German/Australian excavation team, in the shadow of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Hemiunu is said to have been the engineer of the Great Pyramid. As noted earlier on this blog, his parents Nefermaat and Itet were Black Africans.

The head was replaced with a European depiction that contrasts greatly with what he would have looked like. My research has now brought me to the realization that there are just a few well-placed, and likely fraudulent, Eurocentric-looking pieces of Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom statues. The rest are clearly Black African.

Nefertiti: Discovery Channel Depiction (Click)

 
Posted by Picasa

It’s definitive. The iconoclastic Nefertiti bust that has long been used to depict the 18th dynasty queen of Egypt is a hoax. I reported in an earlier post, a few months ago, that based on new research of the artifact itself, scholars have come to realize that the bust depicting a European-looking woman is a fraud. Of course the attendant picture to this article shows what she really looked like (as for pigmentation, this photo is more in line with ancient depictions of her daughters, sister Mutnodjmet, and other 18th dynasty relatives). Thanks to the World Wide Web, and a little research, just about anyone can wade through the charade that has come to represent modern Egyptology. The current iconic German bust was not even reported with the 1912 excavation findings of Ludwig Borchardt, but mysteriously appeared on display in Germany in 1923. In any archeological report, the bust would have taken first place.

The Arabs, meanwhile, have been in Egypt since 639 AD. They, of course, study the history of their time in Egypt in their schools—so this research is nothing new to them. The culprit is the ubiquitous Western mass media that continues to perpetuate the ongoing sham.

It’ll take awhile. But the bust, currently housed in a German museum, will eventually be a vestige of the colonial past that fostered it.
