African History
Charlemagne: Father of Medieval Europe – DOCUMENTARY
Charlemagne was king of the Franks, and emperor of western Christendom. Out of the turmoil of the Early Middle Ages, he united the bulk of western and central Europe, and laid the groundwork for the modern European world. He was a patron of the arts and education, instigator of the flowering of learning known as the Carolingian Renaissance. He was also a fierce conqueror, who fought to impose his rule on the Saxons. He faced defeats as well as victories, losing the rearguard of his army at the famous Battle of Roncesvalles, where he suffered a personal tragedy as well, losing his friend and companion-in-arms, Roland.

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.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, they had been invaded by barbarians and were saved by a usurper who just taken over the Royal House of the Franks, a man called Carolus Magnus who was known as Charlemagne, Charles the Great. Now Charles the Great was crowned by the Pope, rather to his surprise, as a holy roman emperor. There was a few odd things about this Empire, it wasn't holy, it wasn't Roman and it wasn't really much of an empire. It was a loose confederation of states and Charlemagne had to rule this vast area at the time when there was no internet, no telephones, no telegraph, no newspapers, so he appointed various counts and countesses and lords. He appointed them all from a set of families he could trust.
You see Charlemagne claimed to be a direct descendant of the house of David. He was a member of a group of families who claimed descent from the 24 hereditary maddadox families who were the hereditary high priests of the temple of Jerusalem. Priests who had deserted the temple after the Greeks defiled it, during the Greek occupation, and then setup shop near the Dead Sea and formed a very spiritual, very strict organisation called the Essenes. Again an initiatory cult and Jesus was not Jesus of Nazareth because Nazareth didn't exist when he was walking the earth, he was Jesus the Nazarene, he was an initiate of the Essenes.
At the time of Charlemagne, Europe was in a state of abject misery, life was short and brutal, nobody, not even the Charlemagne himself could write his name without assistance. The only people with any education were the priesthood. Their education was severely limited to a little bit of neoplatonism and some classical Latin because that was always been deemed necessary by the church. Everything else was Pagan and thrown in the bin.
The Greek scholars, the Nestorian scholars had been expelled from Christian Europe and had found refuge in what is now Northern Persia, place called Gundeshapur. There amongst there amongst their Arab brethren, learning was treasured and transcribed into Arabic and with the advent of Islam the whole picture started to change because while Christians were busy having conventions debating how many angels could stand on the head of a pin, or had a whole school of study of theology and the nature of God, the Holy Quran says that anybody who tries to decipher the nature of God is crazy, but if you want to know about God you study his works in nature. So a flourishing series of schools & scholarships started studying nature, science, the Greek texts which they inherited from the Nestorian scholars and the world's biggest library was amassed at Baghdad. With the advent of the Moorish invasion of Spain, Moorish toleration came to Europe.
