African History

African Written Scripts Unearthed: Beyond Egypt's Hieroglyphs

Published

on



The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

    The metric system came from Kemet. Napoleon ordered 200 scientists to scour the tombs of the pharaoh to get information to help develop france. This is where they found measuring tools with ten as the value of measuring. After this, the Industrial Revolution began. So here we are..

    There is no such thing as Basal Eurasian or Eurasian. They were not apart of the OOA migration nor the maturing of M,N, or R in South Asia, nor were they apart of the back migration into Africa, nor were the apart of the expansion of these haplogroups into North Asia. It should be and should have always been called Afrasian haplogroups or Afro Asiatic haplogroups like the languages that mostly match does locations.

    In southern Africa we have a number system beyond 100,000. There a profound alphabet system and the way they communicated with foreigners to the continent.

    We need a cultural revolution that unifies African forms of communication. That way we will be able to redefine astutely our realities in all aspects of academia.

    Does anyone here know what Nsibidi means? Well Nsibidi means: "From the beginning" or "in the beginning." And it shows you just how ancient that language is. Hidden in plain site, the meaning of the writing system is self explanatory and it means that Nsibidi is as old as civilization itself and that it is as ancient as the first people who walked this planet and who happened to be black. And these first people came from inner Africa in the region where you have the rivers Zambezi and the Congo. It has been said by research that Nsibidi is about 1,000 to 2,000 years older than Medu Neter. And for all we know it can be much older than that.

    All of what we call the Middle East used to be black. The ancient Persians had paintings of themselves as black people with woolly hair, and at times with locks (I don't want to call it dreadlocks). Africans ruled the world, but now everything is being whitewashed. It's time to reclaim Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Persia, Arabia, and India. In addition, a man named Esayas Gebremedhin from Eritrea (bordering Ethiopia) provided evidence that his language "Tigrinya" is the original language of Egypt and the Tigre people (Cushites) were original inhabitants of Egypt. The Beja people are a Cushite group also from Egypt who are now located in Sudan.

    Those that are stating these lies were in caves were verbally using utters and grunts, pointing at objects. Not to mention eating the young and the old. The Moors should have turned their backs on those animals.

    No doubt Ancient Kemet, was ahead in many aspects.
    I'm always fascinated with the culture.
    Really sad how their heritage has been classed as primitive, when missionaries wanted to convert, then steal the rich culture later on.

    When Afrika was colonized, they divide it up and each left their language. English, French, Spanish and to separate the African people.

    In the Wollof language, to write is [Binda], to read/learn is [Janga], and a book is [Tayray]. Long before colonization, Africans have been reading and writing.

    I don’t know why we accept all of their Greek names and characterizations of us, especially when they lie nonstop about everything they have access to about us. Everyone owes their literacy to Africa and its people who travelled with their technology everywhere 👌🏽

    Everybody went to the schools we had in Kemet, it was the world's first Higher Education College on the planet, their stories of how the Kings of other parts of the world went there to learn the science they sent their squires and holy men to Luxor and that's how it spread throughout the world, that's why WARS manifested on the planet, everybody wanted the knowledge much like today 🤔.

    The library of Alexander was distroy, just imagine the ancient information that was there. Language and writing did not just happen. Writing develop over a period of time. We know so from the Hebrew letters. Some people/human/man (pleural here/ totaly ignore the idea that if the European did not do it, it was never done. We are all part of the puzzle and to ignore one we never fully get the gidt of what we are capable of. We are a great species that created, and if we work together as one, we can accomplish so much more.

    The word 'african' is no older than 2,500 years. THAT is CLASSICAL, not ancient. STOP USING CONFUSING CHRONOLOGY & TERMINOLOGY !!!

    You completely forget the Eritrean language. My language was here in the world from 900 years before the coming of Christ. The Ethiopian language , as I have seen it with my own eyes, added every letter to the already existing letters. And it started on the 13 century. the Eritrean language and the Ethiopian are written almost the same way. Except the eighth letter which the Ethiopian added.

    The Ethiopians did not have any language from along time. They began Amharic in 1270. But we started our language in 900 before Christ. Our language is Tigryna and Tigre.

    Thank you so much for educating us. I personally was hungry for many yrs for this kind of information. Colonization try to rewrite our history, but I always felt like a day was going to come, when truth would be revealed, and when we will all take back our rightful place in history. God will certainly not be mocked..

    The Subject of Africans History, and their roles in North Africa, including Kemet/Egypt requires an approach that is free of (attitudes, accusations, defensive or aggressive energies).

    Like all subjects one desires to successfully convey information on, regardless of the audience, greater success is realized when we do so with Conscious Thought + Higher Mind aka Mature Mind, (where all our Positive Thought Energies and Wisdom reside, and where we are in Harmony with our self worth and confidence.

    From there, information supported by resource references for validation of the relative subjects, we can share information with success and enjoy the experience of doing so.

    There are great potentials when we realize where our personal Harmony is experienced.

    The Sabaeans are not “dark-skinned” unless they live in the desert, and their will skin returns to its natural light color once they leave the desert. They are Yemeni Arabs and have no connection to the miserable black Africa devoid of civilizations. All African civilizations are of Yemeni, Canaanite and Arab origin, with black elements that came later. In your other stupid video, in which you talk about the Exumite civilization, you claim that the Arabs came from Asia 5,000 years ago! Did you know that the Arabian Peninsula was experiencing the last stages of the Ice Age about 15,000 years ago? And that it was largely a “cold” forests until about 10 thousand years, and after that the temperature began to rise and the Arabian Peninsula began to desertify little by little, and about 5000 years ago everyone began to flee from the Arabian Peninsula, towards the Fertile Crescent and towards the Horn of Africa, yet, you claims that “white” people came from Asia to settle in the Arabian Peninsula, during the height of its desertification and heat!. Essentially, Arabs continued to migrate from the Arabian Peninsula towards Africa, specifically Egypt, Sudan, and even Eritrea, until the beginning of the twentieth century, that is, until the construction of the Suez Canal and the demarcation of the borders. By the way, if the Arabs came from Asia, why did they not bring with them one of the Indo-European or Turkish languages? Why did they bring with them the Semitic languages even though the Semitic languages do not exist in Asia at all?. The Yemenis are ones whp immigrated to the Horn of Africa (this explains the spread of Semitic languages in the Horn of Africa and even the creation of the Exumite civilization), and this this also explains the less dark skin of some people of the Horn of Africa, specifically in the Tigray region. And because the Semitic languages are not indigenous to the Horn of Africa, all of them either died out (such as Ge'ez) or became semi-Semitic at best (such as Tigrinya), due to their mixing with African languages. There are several studies that confirm that the Arabian Peninsula was covered with snow, and then after the snow melted and after its desertification, most of its inhabitants left it, including a survey study led by the Italian doctor Francesca Gandini from the University of Huddersfield. But then again, why would Africans who live in the forests, and at the source of the Nile River, migrate towards the Arabian Peninsula, while the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula themselves flee from it? There is no logic at all in your stupid claims. In any case, in the 4th and 6th centuries AD, the Kingdom of Axum, ruled by people mostly of Yemeni origin, invaded Yemen, but were defeated and expelled. With the exception of some African Muslim kings performing the Hajj in Mecca and then throwing their slaves there, in the thousands, after their liberation, in search of heavenly reward, there is no African settlement in the Arabian Peninsula, nor settlement of any kind, except the settlement of its indigenous Semitic Arab inhabitants.

    South African students and progressive academics have already initiated a process for the decolonisation of tertiary education. This needs to be spread to primary and high schools.

Postmodernism and Its Impact, Explained.

Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.

Iona Italia reads Helen Pluckrose’s essay published in Quillette: https://quillette.com/2024/05/07/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-foucault-lyotard-derrida/
