KEMETIANS: What Made 'Em Different From Their Fellow Africans? -
18-02-08, 10:23 PM
fam lets discuss some fundamental questions on egypt
How did the "egyptians" become so knowledgeable?!?
AFRICA is a vast continent - how was it that it was the land of egypt - that looks like its about to fall off of the continent - that held the sum of all knowledge?!?
Just how did the ancient "egyptians" know so much?!?
Just what was the true level of understanding and sofistication of the "egyptians"?!?
Just how did they know so much - head and shoulders above the the rest of their fellow africans?!?
Was it guesswork?!?
Was it by experimentation?!?
Was it a long process of deduction?!?
How?!? - What was it?!?

Only the best is good enough....

Watch this. Best Free Documentaries: Nubia: The Forgotten Kingdom
Nubia gave birth to Kemet ( Egypt). It what they said themselves. The documentary does not interpret that way but make your own mind up.. How far back the knowledge and civilisations of humans go is anybodies guess. But maths and astronomy dont lie.
"Safety.. Lol yeah/ seriously they googled the sky.

Kemet, as Tukoma mentioned, was built by Africans who came from the South. As soon as they arrived they started building pyramids; they were all ready an advanced civilisation.
What made them different from other Africans? Diop tells us that the roots of All African peoples culture is better understood from those Nile Valley cultures; in fact many of our peoples explicitly say that is where they or their cultures originate.
To understand Kemet is to understand what makes African people great, today.
Hence the historical white wash concerning our history. It has to be done to keep us thinking all we have been, is what white men write in their books.

"Knowledge of race history, is to that race, exactly as an individual's memory is to that individual. Without memory, an individual lives in an eternity of unconnected moments, totally dysfunctional and unlearned.
He cannot do even the simplest task, for every task requires some memory.......The masses of African Americans suffer from partial cultural amnesia because of a certain deliberate program that wiped the slates of our memories clean of true African events prior to the cotton fields of America."

All of Africa's glory stems from and has its roots in Ethiopia.

THIS COMMENT IS A LITTLE OFF TOPIC, BUT I GUESS THERE IS A CONNECTION WITH BLACK PEOPLE LIVING IN THE SOUTH OF ANY CITY OR COUNTRY.
ANYHOW, I HAVE READ THERE MAY BE SOME CONNECTION TO OTHER PLANETS IN REFERENCE TO THE INELLIGENCE OF THE EARLY PEOPLE.
MAYBE THE PREHISTORIC PEOPLE,(CAVE MENT) WERE THE TRUE ORIGINS OF WHITE PEOPLE, RATHER THAN OUR HISTORY.
EVERY DAY I AM LEARNING NEW THINGS THAT GET MY WHEELS TURNING TO LOOK AT THINGS IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT.
I LOVE LEARNING, ITS WHAT I DO

@MzTeacher
The fact that European lived in caves is irrelevant. Africans lived in caves too. Just look at the cave art. Caves in of themselves do not make you any more or less intelligent.
@ Everyone else
This lack of knowledge is apparent in the questioning that led to this topic. Ta-Meri, or KaaUma-Ti (Km.t) is an amalgamation of African cultures, no different than the United States. The sciences study in that region are still being studied all across Africa. The priests don't build like they used to 1) because the same materials are not found anywhere else in Africa and 2) because it brought too much attention to their priesthoods.
The genius which was Ta-Meri is not in what they built, but their cosmological world view. This world view still exist among Ba'Ntu people and Dogona people and Yoruba people to this date.
A good book I recommend (with some reservations) is The Exiled Egyptians by Moustafa Gadalla. Here you can get a sense of why the African continent is the way it is. The rest of Africa are the Kmtjw. There traditions are older than we can count and they can do what they did because simply they paid attention to the language of Nature (Mdw Ntr).
