Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

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.

Let's yet remember, due to this history, my people have suffered spiritually and economically. Our ways of life shifted by force not by choice. History wasn't just fabricated, it was forced into our psyche, this "awesome" educational system of ours, and went unchallenged for more than 500 years in the United States of America, until now. But, we still made it y'all. They couldn't kill our spirit or our truth, no matter how hard they tried! Love and peace🖤

Well…he did kind of "discover" America when he blindly bumped into it. Like when you close your eyes in your home, walk around and bump into a chair. You just "Discovered it" there!! We all "discovered our child's toy at night on the floor. Right?? So if you turn your head sideways and glance upward….you can…kind of sort of…say he Discovered it. Then you break-out in a Gut Busting Laugh!!!!

Mensa Musa when he returned from his famous trip to Mecca, built many ships and set sail to explore the world in the year 1300. It makes sense to find this artefacts from Africa. These were from his expeditions.

Not surprised. Only lends credence to what a US government archeologist shared with me about a year and a half ago on my way to Denver. He stated it's been known for many decades throughout all the American continent, both north and south that blacks visited and inhabited the Americas, including the southern most region's of south America. He stated while working at sites on native american reservations, ancient fossils, which included elephants hand uncovered tools, equipment and other items along with remains of men who were obviously African tribesman because of items and DNA evidence. Research has been ongoing and only proves African explorers predated Columbus by many centuries. Perhaps even influenced by Egyptian culture as well. Look at the pyramids in south America and ancient Indian burial mounds. How much the resemble temples and burial mounds in Egypt. The statues in southern Mexico, which are obviously ancient and African. More similarities than differences. Same thing for the Vikings who predated Columbus. Why omit those facts? They were great explorers and sailors.
