Black History 365 | # 118 Ancient Africa

June 25, 2024

Did you know that ancient African people were the first people to observe the nighttime sky and to chronicle their observations? They noticed that the stars rose from East to West just like the sun. And through their observations they were able to define time. In fact there are Kemetic solar calendars in Egypt (formally called Kemet) documenting these discoveries. They also accurately calculated the circumference of the earth. Greek scientist Claudius Ptolomy spent decades in Kemet studying at the feet of African scholars. His works represented everything ancient Greeks knew about astrology. Modern astrology is based on his writings. In Africa there were the Fathers and Mothers of advanced science, spiritual ideas and practices — writing, mathematics, philosophy, art, medicine, architecture, biology, chemistry, and astronomy. After more than 3,000 years of relative peace and prosperity, Alexander of Macedon a Greek general wasn’t satisfied with solely gaining ancient knowledge from Kemet. He wanted to control the entire civilization. It was renamed Egypt and all those years of ancient indigenous knowledge was taken under European control. You know what they say, to the victor goes the spoils. And the winner gets to write the history we come to accept as facts. Even if fabricated. Your research results might reveal that ancient Africans would throw bones in the air and whichever way they fell is how they knew the time. 😭 Which is hilarious if ignorant stereotypes are your humor. Lord knows I was tickled at how wicked this sh*t can get. But that’s egregiously ignorant and untrue. Protect ya neck!! Melanated people really ruling out here. And if you’re paying attention, you might see history repeating itself. 👀
