The Greatness of Ancient Africa

[Mark Wells]

The roots of "Western" civilization, culture, science, technology and religion are to be found not in Greece, but in Black Egypt and Nubia-Kush. From as early as 10,000 B.C. to 1500 A.D., Blacks were in the forefront in the development of science, culture and technology. Black empires and civilizations from the prehistoric Zingh Empire of 15,000 B.C. of Mauritania to ancient Khemet (Egypt) and Nubia-Kush, which existed about 17,000 years ago, experimented in various aspects of science and technology. Some of these sciences and technologies were so advanced that stories of flying machines and the invention of advanced machines has been passed down through ancient writings. Later Black civilizations such as Khemet and Mali experimented and created various sciences and technologies such as the chemical and mystery sciences of ancient Khemet and the surgical sciences of Mali, in West Africa. As early as about 400 B.C., a Black Pharaoh named Pi Di Amen built a model glider to conduct experiments in flight. Centuries before, the Black Egyptians had already invented gunpowder for use in their temples and mystery schools.

The mathematical and astronomical sciences necessary for high technologies such as those used in space technology and industries were first began by Blacks in Khem (Egypt) and Kush (Sudan). These sciences and high technologies were then passed on to the Sumerians, Babylonians, Elamites (all originally Black civilization), Greeks, Hebrews, Romans and Arabs In fact, it was the Black Sabeans of South Arabia, members of the Kushitic branch of the Black African race who established the first civilization in the Arabian Peninsula...thousands of years before the emergence of the Bedouin Arabs

Black medicinal sciences began in Khemet (ancient Black Egypt) and led to later Greek medicinal sciences. These ancient African sciences were copied by the Greeks and others from the ancient Papyrus texts composed by the ancient Khemites and Nubians.

From about 711 A.D. when the Moors, a Black people from Senegal, West Africa and Morocco, invaded Europe. They introduced Black Moorish science, technology, civilization and education to Europe and raised the Europeans from the Dark Ages of about 400 A.D. to 711 A.D. The Black Moors introduced advanced learning to Spain, similar to what had been taking place in Ghana, and at the university city of Jenne in Mali for hundreds of years. They introduced advanced learning to the cities of Toledo, Seville and Cordoba. These cities became centers of Black Moorish and European scholarship, science and culture, where Europeans and others learned new and advanced sciences, arts and technologies. That led to the European Renaissance of later years. The Black Moors introduced art, architecture, sciences, medicines, animal husbandry and other advanced disciplines to Spain and the rest of Europe. This was the catalyst which led to the European Renaissance

Compared to Africa and East Asia where the Europeans learned more technology from the Chinese such as the making of gunpowder and guns, Western and Eastern Europe, (excluding Rome, Greece, etc.) have very little history of great civilization and achievements before the Middle Ages. Africans and the Blacks of India, have had thousands of years of great contributions to world culture and civilizations. The British, French, Spanish, Dutch, Scandinavians, Germanics, Celts, Russians, Poles and many of these groups who claim "superiority" to Blacks and others, were from prehistoric times until the 1500's A.D., much less advanced economically, culturally, intellectually and scientifically as well as socially than most Black nations, kingdoms and empires during that period. From the time of the Roman conquest of Europe about 400 B.C. to the about 1200 A.D., much of Northern and Western Europe was in a stage or barbarism and backwardness. The Roman settlements and cities built by the Romans were the only areas of advanced culture

The claim by some people of racial superiority over Blacks is based on recent developments The introduction of gunpowder to Europe from China via the Arabs played a major part in elevating the Europeans to a level of military superiority. This advantage over some Africans made colonialism and the theft of African lands as well as the defeat of some African armies easier than in past eras. When the Europeans fought with sword and lance against sword and lance, their victories against Africans were few. For example, Hannibal, the African from Carthage defeated Rome's legions with as little as 15,000 men and ruled Italy for many years.
However, even with modern weapons during the modern era, Europeans were sometimes soundly defeated. Nations such as the Zulus, Mossi States, Ashanti, Dahomians, Ethiopians, Herrerros and others defeated the Europeans in a number of wars and battles.

Queen Tiye Black people were the original inventors of the disciplines that helped bring the world into the technological age. Mathematics, physics, astronomy, building in stone and bricks, metallurgy and all the root subjects that were necessary to push the world into today's modern age, were begun by Blacks in Egypt, Nubia-Kush, Mesopotamia, Sabea and Black Naga India. Therefore, even if people of European origins have made improvements in ancient technologies and ancient inventions, such as rocketry, computer technology, aerodynamics and others, the basic mathematical formulas and ancient prototypes were invented by Africans and Chinese. For example, the Africans invented the binary system which is still used in the Yoruba oracle and was copied by German scientists and applied to computer programming. Many ancient formulas in trigonometry, calculus and physics as well as chemistry (Khem mysteries) came from the scientific discoveries of Blacks in Egypt and Nubia-Kush.

Imhotp, The Father of Medicine. Imhotep was also the world's first physician and wrote many books on medicine. He was a great architect and was the first to use hewed stone in building Most Western European scientific discoveries or rather copies of the original discoveries of Africans and Chinese were put to use during the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. It was during this crucial period that some of the great scientific and technological discoveries and inventions were made. Yet, these discoveries and inventions were and are merely improvements on ancient discoveries made by Africans, Chinese and Black Kushite Arabs. For example, gunpowder was invented by the ancient Egyptians and Nigerians who used the cola nut to make gunpowder. The Chinese reinvented it and used it in fireworks and explosives. Steel was invented by Africans in ancient Tanzania, where ancient cone-like blast furnaces with bellows still exist to this very day and are still used. The hydraulic pump for lifting water and irrigation was invented by Africans in Egypt

Great video.  "Darkness is not a subject in history"!  Now they tell us what?  That white is right.  That black is violent.  Our men locked up, gay or unemployed.  If only they knew of their divinity.

Fantastic Brother!! We are so rich in history! A dominate people! A beautiful people! Strong! A people I am proud to say am I of. This is a history that need to be offered to our children. Our children don't know who we are because they are not being taught. Without that knowledge they fail and they don't appreciate who we are. Our story has been kept hidden. They tried to E- race it/us as a matter of fact from off the planet. However, it does make you wonder why? It makes me realize that evidently we are a more powerful people than a lot of us can comprehend. We are connected to Earth because we are from the Earth. We are connected to the Universe because we are from the Universe. A place they know of but also are afraid of. We should walk in that knowledge, and in that knowledge we should walk in that power, and in that power we should walk confidently. Not arrogant, not ignorant, but in Wisdom, Knowledge, and Overstanding.

A tree without roots can't grow and it's the same with people.  We've received a constant diet of Anglo-Saxon legend, mythos, and history while receiving none of our own.  Has anyone ever examined the effects of constantly seeing ancient heroic images of the race who enslaved us, while seeing none of our own?  I doubt it.  I don't think most African-Americans realize the strength it took our ancestors for us to be reading and writing to this blog.  Because they survived, we're here.  Given we were the only race of people in this country who were strained so only the strongest of us survived, it's quite an accomplishment to still be here to acknowlegde them.

There was a time when I could go through the Southern U.S. and locate the grave sites of about 10% of this nation’s black population; many of these are being destroyed by oil companies and whites in Texas and La. along with Ms. Who use black tokens to declare these gave sites of no historic relevance, so this trait of sell out blacks is why we have no knowledge of our past.

I was often told stories by my great grandfather, which he got from his one slave grandparent being that 3 of them were free blacks and one was white Jewish about how Cush present day Ethiopia and not Sudan, being that Moses’s wife was a Cushite and she was from Ethiopia, checked out by the Jewish Torah or old testament-reached from Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt was the lower Nile of Cush.  If we go back far enough Cush reached all the way into North America which is why many of the Native Americans and even some Central Americans, have what was considered African facial features, and many still do till this day.

When I was in college, I remember the professors that always appear to only want to pick up history with the Greeks and Romans but Egypt was around for thousands of years before the Greeks and even more when speaking about the Romans.  Many of the stories taught in Greek Literature classes are simply copies of African Stories and even with Ovid’s The Metamorphoses, these are nothing but Roman lies, copied from the Greeks which were copied from the Africans.

You have written about one of my favorite topics. History! Accurate history!  So, sorry if I am addicted to now leaving comments. Lets look at Sudan, we have an black ruled country, who have been told they were Arabs due to a deal cut with the CIA, oil companies and the U.S. decades ago that allowed Arabs to push into Africa, in the same manner that they pushed into Egypt. Now all of these years later, we have a Southern Sudan, with a man proped up Texas Oil Companies and this guy even wears cowboy hats that I grew up seeing Chevron CEO heads wear in Houston,Tx-being pushed to start a civil war by whites, London and the U.S.  Breaking up African countries, is exactly how whites destroy the history. Of course S. Sudan has the oil and thats really what America and Europe are after. But yet this entire argument by the white media and U.S. State Dept is being painted as some Muslim Islam-vs- Chrsitian fight. This is their game

I have three very important question's for you. The first one is which of the  twelve tribe's is African American, were they mixed and did they all speak the same language?

We are a people RICH in History. The Moors, are seen in pictures (that were later burned, and destroyed), living as equals in society. Paintings that included them sitting at the table with religious figures eating , and socializing, never in a servitude mode. If you look at the Spaniards today, there deep almond color tells the story. Italy, and Brazil , also tells the story of a war and an invasion (Hannibal), of some of the Greatest African Kings....

Wow! this is really a beautiful and fascinating account of African history and really enjoyed the impressive comment stream too.....wish I knew more about African art. Thx4Sharing
