Hotep hey this is Michael M hotep founder of the African history Network host of the African history Network show I’m a talk show host researcher lecture writer and historian I am here with one of my friends and one of our grandmas scholar Warriors Tony Browder historian and archaeologist how you doing today
Tony I’m wonderful man it’s good to uh be able to connect with you again a absolutely absolutely man I know yes it’s been a minute we’ve talked through uh Facebook man uh been trying to catch up with you in and out of the country things like that
Uh but Tony was one of my first interviews that I did in uh 2010 when I launched the African history Network show um and we’re celebrating uh our 13th year anniversary uh first launched uh March 10th 2010 the African history Network show and uh many people know
Tony is the author of one of my favorite books and we use it in my online history classes I teach now Valley contributions to civilization if you don’t have this book you have to get this book okay now Valley contributions to Civilization by Tony Browder so we want to have this
Conversation I was talking to Tony yester uh Friday and uh today we want to have this conversation dealing with why Nile Valley Civilization history matters and we’re going to talk about some African queens and also with Queen Cleopatra we’re going to put this in a historical context as well all right so
So um Tony uh let people know just briefly some of your historical background and and some of your research well um I am formerly trained as an artist a graphic designer uh my interest in history was peaked on February the 21st 1977 that was probably before some
Of your listeners were born uh that was when I met Ivan van cerer Dr Ivan van cerer was speaking at Georgetown law law school he had just previously published that came before Columbus the African presence in America and it was during that lecture that van Cera documented the pre-colombian presence of Africans
From the Nile Valley who had built ships navigated the Nile River Mediterranean Sea and made numerous Journeys to the Americans principally in Mexico where they brought their cargo of knowledge astronomy architecture uh engineering and um Agriculture and influenced uh helped to jumpstart civilization in the Americas and that they were known to
These ancient people as the OMC and there were at least 20 large heads of these Stone carved heads of these Africans that were placed on ceremonial uh temples and mounds throughout Mexico and what really blew my mind was when van Cera said that these these Africans
Who had um uh come to uh Mexico from the Nile Valley were were from Egypt and they were black they were from Kush and they were black and this was the first time in my life I had ever heard anyone say this because everything that I had
Read everything that I had seen in television everything that I had learned in every school that I had attended even though they were predominantly black schools taught just the reverse so my mind was blown upon hearing Dr vman’s lecture and that prompted me to begin to revisit everything that I had learned uh
And and now I I discovered what what I referred to as Forbidden Knowledge informational information which has been intentionally withheld from certain populations in order to influence how they see themselves how they see the world and how they interact with others so it was my interest in learning this
Forbidden history that prompted my travels to Egypt that prompted my um my writing my interest in studying this information and another major turning point in my life was in September of 1984 when Ivan vanera along with Charles fch and ASA hilot sponsored the N Valley Conference at morouse college right and
That 4-day event uh cemented to me the power of knowledge and the interesting thing about this Gathering was that um it featured not just you know African Scholars and African-American Scholars but European scholars who also understood that the historical knowledge of the past had been fragmented and had been erroneously presented as historical
Truths so be a beginning to become aware of the fact that whoever controls your knowledge of the past controls uh your conception of yourself in the present has really frightened everything that I’ve done so the work that I’ve done the writings that I’ve done uh The Study
Tours that I’ve done uh are all designed to introduce people to historical information that may not have been a part of that formal educational process but information that is critical to their ability to determine who they are and how they can move into the world and through the world and better interact
With others okay excellent excellent now uh and just uh point a note because people are asking so uh today is Sunday April 23rd 2023 we are live right now so people are asking that and you uh set the tone for this conversation Tony because uh I got to ask you a question
About the omx as well okay uh because you you just mentioned the omx right and I teach about this in my class and um in Dr David otep’s book the first Americans were Africans documented evidence he talks about the OMC mandinka uh Egyptian or ancient kdic connection okay uh I
Want to have you explain that in just a minute and then also uh okay CS thanks for your support uh if you want to support the African history Network visit our website the africanis network.com the africanis network.com also you also you can you all can support us through cash app dollar sign
The Ahn show through cash app and PayPal paypal.me thee Ahn show uh when you do it through YouTube they take a third of it just so people know because they’re trying to support through YouTube okay uh also give your website uh Tony and let people know how they can support
Your work and then I’m G to have you answer that question about the omx sure well our website for ikg is www. ikg-info Doom I ag-in nf.com that organization turned uh 40 years old 41 years old this past February so we’ve been doing this for a minute yes and
It’s um it’s a process that is near and dear to my heart because it’s all about raising awareness and as a consequence raising Consciousness so with regards to the OM I was blessed brother to have traveled to Mexico twice with Van Cera and to see these OMC heads and one of
The most important parts parts of our our two Journeys together was that van Cera took the group to the home of Alexander van woo was a former German Diplomat who left the German diplomatic Corp as Hitler Rose in power and demanded that every Diplomat swear their allegiance to
The Nazi party so he resigned rather than do that and settled in Mexico City and became a historian of note Von wno had the largest collection of omeg figurines terracotta o omeg figurines in the world and he literally took us through his house took us through his
Museum and showed us these pieces and explained who the omx were now was was significant to put this in historical context okay that we’ve got we’ve got these heads and Van Cera was not the first scholar to write about the African the pre-columbian African presidence in
America uh Leo Wier was one of the first Scholars and um and even van wo himself has written extensively on the subject matter so uh he’s showing us that the selection of the very clay that was used to depict these omix was a dark brown clay and
They had access to various colors clay so he he he very skillfully and intelligently showed us the difference between the O the OMC people and the and the totek people or the Mayan People based on the type of of clay that was used to represent these people so color
Wasn’t important aspect of his presentation another important aspect man is that the year I I blank I’m blanking on the year okay uh the year that we met him was the year that the Burl and wall had failed okay vanon wo now had an opportunity to go back to
Germany uh because his his family were were very wealthy and land owners and so they had he had a prescribed period of time to go back to Germany and reclaim the the land of his forefathers that was appropriated during the the Nazi regime so when we came back to Mexico the
Following year we met with Von wudo again and he told us some phenomenal stories about his trip back home to Germany where he had not been for over 40 years and his colleagues some of his colleagues who were uh egyptologist and shared with us that they had evidence of additional
Kushite Kings specifically of the 25th Dynasty who are not a part of the historical record right so to be able to be in the presence of people who have access to firsthand documentation and can see Beyond the Veil and add more depth and Clarity to a history that has
Been marginalized was was significant to me was critically important to me um and and to to be able to travel with Van cerma a highly respected scholar who was instrumental in transforming the lives of of hundreds of thousands of people uh throughout the United States and around the world was also critically important
To me but one other factor that hurt me to my heart was to to learn that vanera was denied ten year at Ruckers University because he had written um they came before Columbus the African president in America matter of fact van Cera told me that writing that book was
The end of his academic career and what that says speak to is that there are organizations institutions and very powerful people at play who want to make sure that certain information never becomes a part of school curricula certain information is intentionally withheld because it will affect the consciousness of tens of thousands and
Maybe even millions of people around the world so this is this is no joke this is this is no game this is something that I take very seriously one of the things that Vana taught me that I hold on to is that one should never say anything um in
Public that you can’t validate with the least four sources so it’s not about just popping off yes you know just the mouth poppers the mouth po it’s about being serious and it’s about understanding that this is not a Sprint this is a marathon um and that we have
To be able to uh transform the consciousness of tens of millions of people who have been denied the right to read to write to reason and to articulate what they know so it’s about participating in an ancestral tradition that we are bound to uh be heartfully
Engaged in for the benefit of all the people who never had the opportunity to do what we’re doing right now so I take this very seriously and I don’t believe in getting caught in The Fray I’m looking at the long game this is a marathon not a Sprint and it’s about
Shaping the world that our children’s children’s children are going to inhabit um I also want to share with you if you don’t mind man gohe we talk briefly about this concept of agnotology yes agnotology and there’s a book by that name that was published several years ago and the um definition of agnotology
Will sound familiar to some of your listeners who are familiar with what you do anology is is described as the study of C Cally induced ignorance or doubt particularly the publication or uh dissemination via the media of inaccurate or misleading scientific data and the creation of Institutions to promote
Disinformation right okay SP agnotology uh a g n o t o l o g y right anology right right and I’m looking at this uh this Stanford University press uh I’m going to show this on the screen here just a second go ahead okay and and so
For those of us who have been studying uh this this uh form of brainwashing if you will or propaganda if you will uh we should be aware of the book that was written by Dr Carter G Woodson in 1933 called the miseducation of the Negro right acology is a another word for
Miseducation it is the intentional um marketing of ignorance in order to move people people in a specific Direction and so uh the media you know based on my experience and my background in the media marketing advertising and design I know very clearly that uh the media I.E social
Media is the most powerful form of mental manipulation ever created in the history of the world and so we we have heard about um U you know Russians uh planting disinformation uh on social media in order to stir up animist in the United States during previous uh presidential
Elections correct so folk who understand the power of misinformation uh and the power of being uh an unseen hand in the internet in cyberspace you don’t know where these messages are coming from people have a tendency to be uh people um a large segment of the population is addicted to
This information they’re addicted to uh that excites them and moves them to emote as opposed to moving them to think and process what they’re doing uh and so it’s so critically important at this particular point in time in history uh Michael that we understand how we’re being manipulated by information um and
And how critical it is that as we move through um the next um the next uh presidential election cycle right and what happens after that how we will continue to to be manipulated emotional but buttons will be pushed and as they pushed people will think less they’ll
Talk more and think less and engage in activities that would be detrimental to the well-being of society as a whole so it’s important um to choose our arguments carefully and to have your talking points down pat and to know that those talking points are are grounded in
History not mythology not not uh anger not racism but documented facts that can be substantiated so when people two people have a discussion you bring your facts and and anyone who is a serious student of History knows that nobody knows everything correct that it’s more information is being uncovered it
Changes our perception of what we thought we knew so um it’s very difficult to win an argument when you’re talking with a fool it’s very win an argument when you’re talking with someone who already has their mind made up there’s a saying my mind is already made up so don’t confuse me with
The truth so we’ve seen here in this country brother within the last um seven years how misinformation and disinformation have divided this country to the point where we may literally be be standing on the verge of a civil war right where where any sense of of normaly and respect uh between two
Parties with opposing views has gone out the window so to watch what’s happening right now in Congress is is an indicator of what’s Happening all over the world it’s not just here in the United States it’s happening all over the world so it it’s like we’re in a fight for uh the
The soul not just of America as as certain politicians say we’re fighting for the soul of our Consciousness we’re fighting for the soul of Africa and I think if you’re going to be engaged in that fight um you have to prepare yourself adequately uh there is a
Statement that was made by um I think it was the US Army in an ad that they did a couple of decades ago they said that the first battle the first battle in any War takes place in the mind and the first casualty of any war is always the truth
Right it’s always the truth so we have to be very clear about what we’re talking about so that we can deal with the truth that has that stands on Solid Ground not a truth that Liars speak in order to muddy the waters and to move people into a space where they
Won’t be able to distinguish the truth from a Hal truth from an all an all out lie so these are the issues that I think that are so critically important for for your listeners to understand and it’s also the reason why I just finished a a two-part webinar on why n Valley
Civilization matters there C Core information that has to be understood if you’re going to engage anyone in any discussion about African history or Nile Valley history and we’ve never been given uh the basic knowledge so people there are many people unfortunately who have a a very pronounced presence on the
Web who read one book and all of a sudden become an expert on something that they know very little about correct and and so dealing with these is issues uh dealing with the larger issue is important and that’s also one of the reasons why we find here in the United
States uh there is an ongoing effort on the part of certain parties to suppress the teaching of African history to suppress the teaching of of American slavery um so you know what’s happening in in Florida or Virginia or uh Texas is nothing but an effort on the part of a
Of of a certain population to control the historical narrative and to perpetuate a point of view which disassociates them from Decades of violence and murder and crimes against humanity so I understand that uh I understand why they’re doing what they’re doing because of what they have
To protect so my response to that is not to get angry for our former oppressors for saying that they’re not going to continue to miseducate us we have a responsibility an obligation to educate ourselves and that’s what the black Consciousness movement was about in the 1960s which led to the black studies
Movement which has opened the door for us to have this level of conversation today and there has always been push back there’s always been pushed back and so we have to learn from uh the lessons of the past uh learn how our Scholars Our Heroes and our shoses were able to
Work around these obstacles that were placed in their path in order for them to continue to get the message out and raise multiple generations of people who now have a clearer understanding of what history is and why history is so critically important absolutely and you know you
Talked about um uh dealing with facts and I have a say in those that have been following me on the African history Network show um if we disagree let’s disagree based upon the facts and the evidence not the fact that you don’t want to deal with the evidence okay
Number one number two you talk about marketing so many people know my degrees in Business Administration with a major in marketing from Wayne State University the foundation of marketing psychology so this is why a lot of this information I I understand better than many people because of my training and having a
Background in sales and marketing Etc um you you mentioned the omx uh a few minutes ago I want to hit on this and have you expound on it and then talk some more about n Valley uh civilization and why this history is so important uh so many
People are familiar with Dr David motep who wrote the book the first Americans were Africans documented evidence he’s a he’s a friend of mine I’ve interviewed him probably 13 13 14 times here on the African history Network show um and on page I’m G to pull up this citation here
Because we discussed this in my classes also uh page um what page is that in this book uh he deals with the um om he he talks about the OMC connection and what you just hit on I want you to expound on this because when we start talking about the um African
Presence dealing with the omx um we we get uh a lot of uh push back or uh people saying oh you you’re lying things of this nature okay so he deals with the let’s pull this up here uh M Dinka Egyptian OMC connection mandinka Egyptian OMC connection and and I’m
Going to try to flip over to this slide here just bear with me for a second I got to close out one of these presentations all right let’s look at this here uh so he says let’s see here let’s go to current slide uh a major ethnic group and now
This is from page uh 82 I think it is of uh the first Americans were Africans documented evidence a major ethnic group among the ancient Egyptians were the manding people a uh Niger Congo Homeland in the general vicinity of the upper Nile Valley is probably as good a
Hypothesis as any uh for the origin of the mandem and let’s uh let me try to reconnect here I want to show this slide uh okay so we’ll do this and let’s go here um all right resume slideshow that’s what we need um the Proto the protom manding migration the protom manding migration
Had to have taken place during the African aqu aqualic period that was a wet period in Africa that lasted thousands of years at a time when the Sahara was fertile and had river systems and great L Great Lakes right now I’m going to try to okay so go ahead and
Talk about uh there’s some more here I’ll get to but go ahead and talk about the um OMC connection because when we talk about the OMC you have people say oh no the OMC were they had nothing to do with Africa or anything like that who who were the omx and what’s the
Connection between the omx and ancient kimet sure well you know um anytime new ideas are introduced into the academy uh there will be those who will reject those new ideas because reputations are are built on maintaining certain Concepts and ideas right so as a matter of fact one of the foremost Mesoamerican
Scholars um was Michael Co of Yale University and he railed against Ivan vanera and his uh his publication they came before Columbus and the omx the fact that the OMC were African it was Michael Cole who said and and there you go I was gonna ask you if you had any
Images of an OMC head this is perfect it was Michael Co who stated and this is someone with the PHD in Mesoamerican history who taught at Yale University Michael Co said that the reason why these omic statues had broad noses and thick lips is because the people who
Carved those statues didn’t have the tools to make thin noses I’ve heard that thin lips all right so this that that quote came from Michael Co okay spell his last name please spell his last name Coe co co okay yes and um van Cera in describing this particular omad and this
Is at uh V HOSA I think it’s at V HOSA uh no no no no no oh God it’ll come back to me but this is this this particular museum is an incredible Museum man they have one of the largest collection of om heads and the Mexican architect who
Designed this Museum I think it is vill mosa um the Mexican architect who designed this Museum also designed the Nubia Museum in as Juan okay right um and so van Ser van CMA had pointed out that the helmet the leather helmet that is worn by this OMC personality and
Several other omcs is practically identical to the leather helmets worn by Nubian Warriors right right so he’s drawn a number of interesting parallels between these cultures uh he’s he’s got maps in his book that shows the migratory pattern of of the omix from uh the west coast of Africa
Who were able to catch currents that brought them over to uh brought them over to um the Americas and one of the other points that van CA brought out uh in many of his lectures that people um want to dismiss or not discuss at all is the fact that these Africans who made
The journeys made multiple Journeys also brought back to the N Valley certain products and one of the products that they brought back was cocoa leaves the cocoa leaves the plants from the plant that is used to make cocaine right and very few people talk about the fact that
Um when a examination of the Mummy of ramises II one of the most uh significant Kings in N Valley history when a examination was done on on the contents of his stomach they found cocoa leaves in his stomach right and they only existed at that time they only
Existed um in in the so-called new world so there’s so many connections that have been so much information about these migrations that have been suppressed in Academia so uh the other thing is there is a marvelous book that Charles Finch turned me on written by senales scholar
By the name of abubakar lam that book is titled paths from the Nile and this book documents uh multiple migrations from the Nile River Valley into the Niger River Valley so David and motep had talked about uh before the deification of the Sahara uh this this region of
Northern Africa was uh was grassland and you had multiple river systems that ran uh from east to west and so if we if we begin to explore this uh InterContinental migration of African people from the East to the west from the Nile Valley to the Niger River
Valley will’ll begin to find that there is there there’s tons and tons of history that is waiting to be Rewritten the artifacts that are waiting to be on earth that will add to the story of African people and the migration of African people and the only way that
That story could be told intelligently is if more people of African ancestry get interested in the subject matter and do the primary research right so you know I I I hope that what I have done uh throughout my career has served as a model to encourage others to get
Involved in in traveling to Africa and doing the research documenting what you found and helping to bring this information out of the darkness into the light absolutely um and you know you talk about primary research uh Professor Manu and Pim who’s a friend of mine as well he talks about primary research as
Well Dr Linda Jeffrey Professor Jane small uh those are two of my teachers Professor kabah wat K Dr David Hotel they talk about the need for primary research um okay so so so this section here this is from page 82 of uh the first Americans were Africans
Documented evidence and as I said Dr David M hotel deals with the mandinka Egyptian OMC connection or the manding uh he said the Nile flowed west across the Sahara and emptied into the Atlantic Ocean during very very ancient times this way have enabled East Africans direct access to the Atlantic Ocean the
Longer route would be to sail to the N River North to the Mediterranean Sea and then head West to the Atlantic Ocean when the manding reached Central America and began mixing with the local population they were labeled omx okay when the manding or mandinka reached the central uh reached Central America and
Began mixing with the local population they were labeled the OM were supposedly a mixture of the manding or mandinka and American Indians or people who we would term you know Native Americans or however you want to phrase that do not forget that the manding made up the base of the omx so
The Egyptians or the ancient ktic people the Kimu the ancient kemites the manding and the base of the uh omx are related to each other so just briefly talk talk talk about that uh because there’s so much uh there’s so many attempts when we talk about the omx and we’re not saying
That the omx did not have any Native American ancestry or anything like this we’re not trying to take away somebody else’s history we’re trying to correct history well so so uh a couple of things I want to add to that uh one clarification I want to make is that the
Nile Valley uh flows from south to North uh but within uh the the lower now Valley you had other uh river systems that flowed from east to west so uh I just want to clarify one thing so it wasn’t the Nile Valley that flowed from uh from West South
North uh off off of the Nile or fed fed into the Nile uh so what what that implies a couple of things those of us who have studied now Valley Civilization now river is the longest river in the world 4,120 Mi approximately it begins in the in the in the highlands to the
South uh there were two primary sources for the N River Lake nanza uh in Uganda uh now known as Lake Victoria because when Europeans discover Africans they rename things that Africans corre said but that’s the source of the white now and then you have the Blue Nile which
Comes out of Lake Tana uh the Blue Nile is the primary source for 90% of the water that flows uh from carum North into the Mediterranean Sea through Kush and through kimet by the time the river The Waters from the uh the White Nile reached um cartoon where the two rivers
Join together 90% of the water from the white now has evaporated so it’s not only the water from Ethiopia but the silt in the water from Ethiopia that made the Nile Valley the lower Nile Valley the most fertile land on Earth so Dr johnry Clark refers to the Nile
Valley as the world’s longest and oldest cultural highway so we know the people products resources in addition to the water flow from south to North so when you look at uh the development of Nile Valley Civilization you’ll find that the primary um science the primary mythology if you will of Nile Valley Civilization
Came out of the South came out of the upper Nile Valley and I’ll share this with you and then I’ll go on to finish answering your question so the primary mythology of of of kimet and Kush is associated with thear AET heru who we know better by the Greek names Osiris
Isis and Horus they’re the foundational mythology of of kimet that story of assar set heru that was instrumental in the founding of of kimet in first from the first d y on that story originated in Ethiopia uh at least at least um four to to 6,000 years earlier among the people
Known in southern Ethiopia as the omaro people that same story is there and as it flowed northward down the now it it modified over time right and became slightly interpreted but that is a fundamental story so you also had situations where if as a Africans migrated from South to the north they
Also migrated from the East to the West so there was this flow uh this this intergenerational transference of knowledge and Technology over time and space from the uh east coast of Africa to the west coast of Africa and much of that information is now really beginning
To come out uh and what it does the coming of this information will shatter all of the myths about West Africa and there are Scholars now in in Ghana snagle uh Nigeria uh Cameroon and um moli who are now talking about their ancestral migrations from the Nile River
Valley into the Niger River Valley so we’re living at a in an age of incredible discoveries where new information is going to be coming forward so as part of that migration of Africans from West Africa into the Americas what we’re talking about is the further transference of African knowledge and African technology so
Those who have invested interest in maintaining um the the um the concept of African people as having made no contribution to culture and civilization they have to suppress this information right uh so the micro of the world have to stand up and so what we have to do as
We reassemble the fragmented pieces of African history uh we have to be able to look at that exactly what you said the omx uh and and Van CA uh talked about the fact that the omx the the the remains the physical remains of omx were
Found in many of the royal tombs uh in Mexico and that they comprise I think he said about 12% of that population so what we’re looking at is an influence of uh an influx of Africans with um advanced technology coming into a society and helping to jumpstart civilization in that society and you
Also had other people coming from other areas into that same society as well so uh as van Ruto and others have pointed out there are other people from other parts of the world who made contributions to the culture to the culture that was established by the omx
So as we now look back on approximately over 2,000 years of world history we’re trying to sift through all of this to get to get to the real story right and so the main point is uh we don’t have to say that Africans invented everything in in America that Africans were the
Indigenous population in America we don’t have all the evidence at this point in time to stand firmly on the truth to stay that but we can say beyond a shadow of Doubt based on the uh the archaeological and historical information that we already have at our fingertips that Africans uh from the
Nile black Valley played a pivotal role in helping to jumpstart culture and civilization in the Americas 2500 years before Christopher Columbus was born that’s a fact and so again um I’m not about just just you know talking smack just we talking smack we talk facts we talk facts based on uh the documented
Evidence that we have and we also understand that not everybody is is willing to accept the truth you know uh and so we teach the truth we teach what we know to those who are ready to receive it and we have to assume responsibility for doing that and not
Leave it to our uh former oppressor to teach our children our most precious resource teach our children information that will transform their Consciousness and with that transformation of Consciousness with them seeing themselves as people with a long documented history as people with lives that matter they will do what every
Culturally conscious person does and that is T into their ancestral memory right see that’s really that’s brother that’s really what what all of this is about because when we when we look at the the greater Arc of human history we have to acknowledge a fundamental fact
That no people on this planet have been as marginalized as people of African ancestry have been on the continent uh and in the Americas and part of that Mar marginalization is about theer ion of the historical memory of those people and after the end of this process of
Enslavement you still have to continue the enslavement of the Mind Right correct so whoever controls a person’s thinking controls everything that they’re able to do in their lifetime and everything that they’re able to pass on to the lifetimes that will come after them so it’s a battle for the mind it’s
Always been a battle correct so knowing your history going to sources and being courageous enough to say being courageous enough to say I don’t know it all but I’m learning as NE Fuller says I’m still learning and as we learn we get more information and that information butresses what we already
Know or it provides a new kernel of truth that allows us to explore another field of study that expands what we thought we were so this this is this is the journey and this to me is what this process is all about man and it’s exciting yes it’s exciting to be engaged
In this process and it’s also important to know that the closer you get to the truth the more your enemies will try to suppress yes right that’s when you know that’s when you know you’re going in the right direction so we can’t allow ourselves and and I’m glad you put uh Dr
Jeff up there again because just two weeks ago the powers to be came after his nephew hake Jeff represent Jeff not anent that’s not an accident that is happening now and they’re bringing up issues that uh came came to the four in um what was that 200
2001 2001 issues from 20 years ago they’re bringing up why because hen Jeff represents this phenomenon that I’m I’m truly beginning to to embrace and wrap my mind around and that is the major reason why people of African ancestry are still here the reason why we have
Not been exterminated is because of the power that we carry within us this genetic memory that has been driving us and allowing certain people within our group to overcome seemly insurmountable odds so it’s not just us doing this it’s the ancestors working through us and it’s the acknowledgment of the ancestors
Which is always been our greatest power our greatest resource so whatever others can do to make you feel that to be African is to be ignorant to be African is to be shameful deny your African ancestry means that you deny your ancestors which means you cut yourself off from your only
Salvation right so so they there and unfortunately brother there are many of us many of our people who deny that they’re Afric correct who deny that African people have ever done anything of any significance who bought into the narrative bought into the LIE those people will be marginalized by their
Unwillingness to embrace a larger historical truth and that’s that’s on them right not everybody is going to get it not every is capable of understanding what is at play and that uh are those people who have always been in opposition to the restoration of of the African mind the restoration of African
Consciousness will always fund those people who will undermine this effort that has always been the case that’s part of what coel program count intelligence program yes yes and and and also the use of government infiltrators to undermine organizations that that were working on behalf of the advancement of African people the Black
Panther Party was infiltrated yes by by by these people anyone who saw Judas and the black Messiah right saw that and and that story hit home to me because I’m from the west side of okay you know I about Fred Hampton and Mark Clark I was a freshman in college but Fred Hampton
And Mark Clark were murdered uh I went to school with the young lady who was in the house the night of the murder so to have her give her description of what happened and then to read in the newspaper that Chicago sometimes or to watch on the news mayor daily Edward
Hamran and other government officials give their version of the story that’s when uh the covers came off for me that’s when I began to realize that the media lies the politician lies that people have a vested interest in perpetuating a false narrative in order to maintain their power and suppress any
Effort on the part of African people to free them mind so these issues these issues are critical man and we cannot you know we we cannot have a shortterm memory correct when we’re dealing with long-term issues look at what happened in the 60s look at the rise of the Black
Power movement the black Consciousness movement and the things that the government did to shut that down the introduction of drugs into our community again I’m from the west side of Chicago so I can tell you specifically uh what happened when cocaine was allowed to come into the community unated what the
Film and this is again the power of the media what the film um Superfly did to destroy conscious Black Folk on the west side of right the original Superfly Ron O’Neal the original Superfly yes yeah exactly so I was in Chicago man when that film came out and I black
Sploitation movies yeah and very quickly and and I know we only have a few minutes left here because I know you gotta run uh a couple things I want to hit on that but uh very quickly because uh people are asking U also if you want to support the African history Network

Docomo and I W to uh talk about that for just a quick minute and then have you connect now valley civilization and history to Queen Cleopatra put it in a historical correct context okay we’re not going to let that dominate the conversation uh Nathan McCall the author
Nathan McCall uh he had a book out in the 1990s called makes me want a holler African-American man makes me want a holler and I read his book and he talked about how in the 70s the movie Superfly made he and his uh uh friends want to
Sell drugs to live that type of Lifestyle okay um and he ended up going to prison he became a journalist I think it was either the was I think it was the Washington Post he ended up writing forth Washington Post yeah I read his book and his his book was fantastic and
And I had the book on tap but that deals with the power of the media okay and Dr lyard Jeff has has talked about previously how those black exploitation movies not all of them that some there were some good movies but how some of those movies showed us in the worst
Light and promoted drug usage pimping selling drugs things of this nature and white people profited off of these degrading images of African-Americans right after Dr King’s assassinated in 1968 Malcolm X assassinated 65 the Black Panther Party for self-defense is infiltrated and largely derailed okay and then you have these movies so we got
To understand that chronology um connect the now Valley Civilization history to putting Queen Cleopatra I 7th in the correct historical context please great so the the the perfect example I can give you is the work of Dr AC G Hill who establish a framework for understanding n valley civilization and
He divided n Valley Civilization into four Golden Ages first golden age was uh dynasties 3 through six when all of the mirror or pyramids were constructed the second golden age was dynasties 11 and 12 uh 11 and 12 when all of the great literature the philosophical literature the scientific literature the moral
Literature for for the nation was established during that period of time the third golden age and the longest golden age is dynasties 18 and 19 okay when kimet was forced to become an imperialistic Nation because of continued intrusions from the north uh and then you have the last Golden Age
The fourth and final Golden Age which is the 25th Dynasty which is what Dr John Harry Clark referred to as Africa’s last great walk in the sun it was the last time in history that Africans were the wealthiest and and most powerful people on the planet so if you understand that
Framework then um after the the 25th Dynasty and there there were 30 dynasties in in in the history of dynastic Egypt Kemet civilization fell in 332 BC with the Advent of Alexander Macedonia conquering kimet and turning kimet into Egypt Egypt is is a word so most of the names of
African places and things and people have been changed by non-african people so if you don’t know the original names you’ll never be able to understand the history the culture uh the science the philosophy and the concepts as they were originally uh created give you let me
Give you one example of that pyramid is a Greek word which means little flat cake like a pancake the original word for that structure is Mir Mir and the word Mir means the place of Ascension uh so Mir uh there there are no bodies buried in
Any pyramids of mirror in in the entire Nile Valley none zero so anytime anybody tells you that the pyramids were tombs that is a lie whether it’s an intentional lie or unintentional lie based on ignorance uh mirr were always built over tombs the tombs were underground so the the word mirr means
The place of Ascension the place of Ascension and the purpose of air was to facilitate the Ascension of the Soul buried underneath it into heaven where that Soul would be reborn and they were very specific about where in heaven a soul would go to be reborn so the first
Text which documented this journey of the Soul into the Afterlife was carved in the burial chamber of a tomb known as the Pyramid of unas right so it’s in his burial tber where you find the oldest written doc the oldest written religious documents in the world were inscribed on
The walls of this particular tomb that talks about the soul that talks about the process for the Salvation of the soul that talks about the Judgment of the soul and the place where souls go to be reborn so the framework for uh Western religions can be found in the
Nile Valley so it’s important to reclaim the names it’s important to understand chronology and history so in that context Alexander Macedonia conquered uh kimet in 332 BC and and the word Egypt derived from the the name haar which is the Temple of the of the spirit
Of B in the city of mphr which was later renamed Memphis by the Greeks and so that word hak became Aus which was latinized and became Egypt that’s how that word devolved not evolved it devolved because it lost its Essence to the uh the evolution of the word and so
Um once Alexander conquered kimet then he became so enamored by the 3,000 years of historical knowledge that he had inherited by virtue of conquest and so he no longer referred to himself as Alexander son of Philip of Macedonia he called himself Alexander son of Aman son
Of a men the Unseen presence of God Almighty which is a which is a upper now Valley concept right and so the Greek rulers then descended from Alexander’s line and Cleopatra is the last of these Greek rulers so Cleopatra for all intents of purposes Cleopatra was not
African she was not comedic in the literary in the literal sense of the word uh and so my thing is don’t get caught up in Cleopatra there there are other personalities of more historical and cultural significance who we should be uh focusing our attention on so I would bypass Cleopatra discussion and
Focus on Queen T who was one of the baddest queens in human history she was one of the most powerful rulers on Earth she was the wife of Ammon hotep theii and their statue in the uh Egyptian Museum and Cairo is the largest statue in that building and anyone who looks
Upon that statue could see the the nationality or the race if you will of who these two African people were and it’s very clear that we understand the chronology um uh Queen T was the wife of Amon hotep third the son was amop IV who changed his name to akatan uh and and
Anat’s son was the person that we call King T so if you understand the history understand the chronology you can focus your attention on on subject matters that are more worthy of discussion than than Cleopatra not to dismiss her summarily but but Cleopatra is about his significant as Megan
Mar I’m just saying right right context is right so look at and there thank you for that image of Queen te now that’s a very small image of Queen te and what I would also uh suggest those of you listeners who who live in New York go to the Metropolitan
Museum the Met Museum and you’ll see an image of Queen te in the Met Museum but that image of Queen te has half of her face destroyed and there was an article that was written in the 1970s that was an attack against African Center Scholars and asilia brought this
Uh knowledge to our attention the people from The New York Times had interviewed him um as part of this same debate that folk are having right now about Cleopatra and African history um and AC hilard showed this image of Queen T and this image of Queen I love it so much
Because it reminds me so much of my dear friend uh Dr Francis with the afro the stern look and woman who who was clearly in control of herself and her Destiny so ASA referenced that face of Queen tea in the metropan museum with half the face knocked off so they had an opportunity
The New York Times had an opportunity to tell the truth but they chose not right and so these are the games that we’re playing with and we have to you know be very careful about who we uh get our information from we should read everything but read everything with a
Critical eye so that you can discern when someone is being deceptive you can discern when you’re seeing you’re being immersed into aspects of the truth so that you can ground yourself on the truth and not be led astray by arguments or false narratives that are designed to neutralize your your strength your power
And and to waste time yes no we really don’t have any time to waste absolutely and speaking of time I know you have to run so I want you to uh let people know uh about you told me Egypt on the patomic tour is going to start back up
Uh give people the website and then uh family watching as soon as we finish with Tony I’ll let you know about my online history classes I teach on Saturdays and Sundays because we have a class today at 3M Easter Standard Time go go ahead Tony so uh through our through our our
Company ikg we have been presenting this information for over 40 years uh we’ve done numerous Publications we have numerous activities one of our most significant activities is our Egypt on the bomic field trip which is something that I created um in 1986 so um Egypt on the pic is designed
To show people the Egyptian presence the ktic presence in uh in Washington DC and I’ve done research we’ve been doing this for well over 30 years and no one has ever challenged me based on the information that we put forward to show that America’s founding fathers chose
Examples from the N Valley from Kush and Kim in order to establish the foundation for what has become the capital of the wealthiest most powerful nation in human history so uh that activity has been curtail for the past three years because of covid but beginning on May the 6 we
Will have our regular three-hour uh bus field trip of Washington DC where we will take you through Loc locations various locations throughout the city and explain the architectural the symbolic and the mythological elements of valley civilization which have literally been hidden in plain sight we connect the dots and we Empower people
With the ability to see their history and use that history to transform their Consciousness so anyone can go to our website ikg-info docomo have another project that we’re going to be un building uh at the th Marshall Center where we’re based in DC it’s the John Henry Clark enhanced history project
This project uh we’re going we have 400 square feet of wall space where we’re going to be using uh information inspired by the work of John Henry Clark to tell the story of people who have been written out of the respectable commentary of human history and this uh
Project is my response to certain historical shortcomings in the national museum of African-American history and culture which is a phenomenal structure the only issue that I have with it is that it begins our history in the basement and it begins our history with slavery it doesn’t talk about who we
Were prior to our enslaving exactly so the Cornerstone the Cornerstone of the John H Clark enhan history project is a 25 foot long mural which uh illustrates 8,000 years of African excellence and success an undeniable 8,000 years of African excellence and this and success which was undermined by the maaa the the
European and um Arab enslavement of African people but we have come through the MAA we have survived and through the work you’re doing through the work that others are doing we are doing our best to bring Forbidden Knowledge into the community that needs the knowledge the most so that they can transform their
Consciousness and create a world uh that is worthy of their children and the children’s Children’s inheriting based on accessing ancestral knowledge and recreating the genius that we were born with so that’s the process man and let me just uh in closing let me just share that my good colleague Charles frch has
A new book coming out next month uh it’s 10,000 years of now Valley history okay 10,000 of n Valley history so I’m I’m really pleased to see that there’s more Scholars more sisters and brothers who are doing the work and documenting a history that has been suppressed for so
Long and all we have to do is read and study uh and create spaces within our home every home should have a libr correct right the parents in those homes should spend time reading with your children and having intelligent discussions about how to articulate that history everybody pays taxes and our tax
Dollars are being used in schools to miseducate uh many children black brown white uh children in so we have an obligation as taxpayers to see to it that certain information is accessible in the classroom and if it’s not going to be taught in the classroom we need to demand of our churches our
Fraternities our sororities our barber shops and beauty shops to turn those spaces into spaces where we can teach our children and their parents and Elders in the community who they are correct so we can transform our Consciousness and and I’ll close on this point um
You know it I’m kind of peeved that folk is spending too much time talking about Cleopatra and I need to hear folk talk about what’s wrong with Megan what’s wrong with hey brother they don’t want to have that conversation let me let me just let me just say quickly and I’ll
Let you go ahead and finish dud the information I put out about the song from cardi B and Megan estallion now here’s the thing when we do a systems analysis I went through and broke broke this whole thing down and I said they would never have a top white female
Artist put out sexually explicit lyrics like that because they understand that whatever is disseminated becomes imitated and they have too much respect for white women but here’s the thing the majority of my criticism of w and the whole thing and the video wasn’t towards cardi being Megan a stallion even though
I would say they get 10% the majority of the criticism I had was for Atlantic Records a white Corporation find fining this because they would they would not do that for a white woman and and the Baseline says there’s some in this house and repeats that phrase about
79 times and in the video all the women are of African descendant except Kylie Jenner and you have white people to put together an online petition that have Kylie Jenner digitally removed from the video because you only protect what you respect and they saw that white woman as
Somebody who needed to be saved you negro you can keep doing that you can be the in this house this white woman you too good for that go ahead brother all right so so I mean but and and that’s that’s a valid point and it speaks to
Exactly the point that I want to make people who love themselves and love their women and love their children do not allow their image to be exactly the other important issue is I travel around the world brother and once you get outside of America you see a whole
Different world and what embarrasses me is to see these videos on on television stations in Africa in Europe in South America and and and I would say this in all fairness all right if you want to show black women behaving this way then let’s see some white women behaving that
Way let’s see some Jewish let’s level the playing field but it’s only us because it’s about disparaging us and it’s about maintaining this ideology of Afro phobia this fear of Black Folk this disrespect for Black Folk and so we have to accept responsibility for that so I’m
Not gonna let Megan Stallion and cardi be off the hook I’m not going to let them off the hook because they are rewarded for that by making the St stallion was was person of the year Time Magazine they they appear on on Saturday Night Live they appear on all of these
Programs so what that does is send a message to to Young and impressional black women black girls if you want to get paid if you want respect where weave where these fake nails where all of the these things that deny your true Essence in order to be accepted by a community
That has never had any interest or desire in you and so these are the these are conversations that need to be had uh many of these conversations I think should be had behind closed doors and not on the internet because you never know who’s listening we need to have
Private conversations and we need to talk about how we can advance the culture and present favorable images of us because the media as I stated at the beginning of this conversation the media is the most powerful form of mental manipulation ever created and we’re getting played right we’re getting so um
You know uh I always encourage people to take responsibility for yourself to think before you speak and to think about the long-term implications of everything you do so uh emotion is all right but emotion needs to be balanced with intelligence it needs to be balanced with the ability to
Articulate uh what you think and to associate with people who are doing the same thing the reality is what I’ve learned over my 71 years of life here on planet Earth is that this information is not for everybody you’re not going to get everybody it ain’t about everybody
It’s about moving and working with those people who are willing to learn and who are willing to commit themselves to something greater than their own individual and selfish interest it’s about building for future Generations so that process is happening Brothers I’m I’m encountering more younger sisters
And brothers when I say younger I mean folk in their uh 20s 30s and 40s who who are finally getting it who are thirsty who want this information these are the people that we need to be focusing on we need to help frame the historical understanding of topics so that they
Don’t get sidetracked by these games by these traps that are set up just to waste their time but stay focused like a l do the work uh love yourself right and demonstrate that love and how you interact with other people who look like you and build something tangible
Together that is going to outlive you something tangible that can be passed on the future generations and if you can do that man if you can do that throughout your lifetime then we can say that the day will come when when our ancestors will return and have bodies to use that
Will allow them to create heaven on Earth once again it doesn’t make sense to me and I keep saying I’m gonna close on this hey take your time man I know you got something to do after this but take your time I’m not rushing you okay it it doesn’t make sense for me
Personally to talk about your ancestors were were kings and queens if you’re acting like fools and exactly right yep and the other reality is is that less than on Tenth of 1% of of any nation’s rulers were kings and queens the vast majority of people were ministers and prime ministers were
Scholars were researchers were scientists were astronomers we’re Physicians we’re healers we’re Masons we’re Architects and Engineers they are the people who made the nation the king of Queen was just the figurehead so so I I want to redirect the conversation I want to redirect the focus on something
That is practical it’s just like saying you know uh you want to be president of the United States anybody with any sense knows the president of the United States does not run the United States right uh and and so it’s the people who comprise this country who make this country what
It is and we know people of African ancestry should understand very clearly that it was our ancestors and their Free Labor that helped to make this country the wealthiest and most powerful nation in human history so we have an obligation as descendant of enslaved people who survived the ma we have an
Obligation and a responsibility to use the resources that we have access here in this country to educate ourselves y right because what we know shapes the consciousness of African people all around the world we talked earlier about the black Consciousness movement in the 1960s and the powers that Beast saw how
The Black Power movement influenced Steve boo in South Africa and he replicated the similar movement it was happening in other parts of Africa as well so the colonizers had to shut that down and you shut that down by introducing films that divert our attention and have us praising drug
Dealers and ungodly behavior and that then becomes the framework with which we see our future so if we use this technology properly we have the opportunity to access millions of Minds in a matter of minutes and introduce a new narrative that’s what this opposition is all about yes shutting
Down the conversation shutting down the power so don’t give your power away you are the most important commodity that you’ll ever possess free your mind model How Free People free men and women are supposed to speak communicate and move through the planet work with other people of like Minds so that you can
Build something that will last for eternity and as we do that we will make our ancestors proud and we then will be the vehicles through which they would do their best has work why because they did it in the past and we have the capacity to replicate it right now that’s what
This whole journey is all about absolutely and up on the screen I have the famous quote by bant to Steven Boo the most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed so we so we have to take our minds back this is what Dr Carter G
Woodson was telling us in his work not just in the miseducation of the Negro 1933 but the work he did with Association for the study of African-American life and history of Salah which he co-founded September 9th 1915 so um all right excent we got to
Bring you back Tony I know you got wrong we have to bring you back um uh and everybody those slides I was showing those are all slides from the online classes that I teach uh we use uh two of your books Egypt on the pomac and non Valley contributions to civilization uh
In my classes as well I introduce a lot of people to you Tony this I read this book back in 1994 I just got this new copy last year from Brother haki Ami Shakur um but my original copy is from 199 before the pages were falling out I
Had to get a new copy man but that book I read for I read from the broad file first then in 94 at way when I was at way State University I I read uh non Valley contributions to civilization it blew my mind man I haven’t been right
Since okay it it corrected my mind you have been right it corrected my mind man but it blew me away brother so you gotta write this is volume one man you gotta write volume two you got about 20 volumes in you man but you gotta write volume two
Well brother that that’s one of the reasons why I need to use the time that I have left to redirect my energies I’ve got a ton of information that I need to get out yes uh and so I’m going to be focusing on doing more writing um and
And continuing to push my daughter out because what what I have established is is a legacy that she’s going to continue so uh you know last December um I had some uh some health challenges and I was unable to travel to to take my group Egypt so my daughter stepped up and did
It you that’re preparing the Next Generation man is really what this thing is all about uh because we’re not going to live forever and we can’t do everything ourselves so we should be training cadres of young people man to know who they are and to live that knowledge in everything that they do
That then is how we change the world so you know it’s a pleasure to be on we got to have you back soon brother yeah and I’m wearing a black Friday shirt because we’re in the uh do umentary series from um uh Rick Matthews director Rick Mattis

Reconstruction Era 18651 1877 uh Jim Crow era Great Migration World War I World War II Civil Rights Movement Black Power movement to understand what happened to us after slavery ended what were the laws and policies put in place to put us in the predicament we’re in
Today to understand where we need to go from here okay so this class picks up basically where the first one leaves off okay it’s a crucial crucial class I put together the curriculum for both of these courses been studying history 31 years uh we deal with uh there about uh
In both of these classes there’s about 80 or so articles that we reference uh books that we reference a ton of information okay uh so we’re teaching the class today uh 3M Easter Standard Time uh black resistance movements from the Haitian revolution us civil war Civil Rights movement and black power
Movement okay so you can register for those classes and uh very quickly here I’ll show you uh just a a brief introduction uh to understand the transatlantic slave trade where they didn’t teach you in school and that I’ve been teaching this class on and off since 2017
Okay uh we used two aton’s books in the class we used two books from roko rashidi as well uh and there’s a in yesterday’s class there was a uh interview that I did with uh roko uh back in 2014 and we talked about Cheval Joseph balong
Uh who the movie Cheval is about all right so I’m about to re-release that interview uh to let people hear that information also okay let me show you this here quickly and uh we dealt with this U we just had our class on Saturday fantastic class uh ancient Kim de Mo Z
Maaa understanding transatlantic slave trade uh I’ll post the link uh here Mississippi River now you know uh somebody asked about the Mississippi River you know Memphis Tennessee is named after Memphis in Egypt okay we talk we talk about this in the class Memphis Tennessee is named after uh
Memphis in Egypt and one of the founders of uh Memphis Tennessee was uh General Andrew Jackson who then became President Andrew Jackson and uh Memphis Tennessee sits at the uh mouth of the Delta the Mississippi River and the Mississippi River was looked at to be the Nile River of America the
Mississippi River is looked at as the American Nile uh civilizations are built along uh long rivers civilizations were built upon along the Nile River uh this is something that Dr John Henry Clark talked about as well okay now uh so there’s a relationship between Memphis Tennessee and Memphis in Egypt now we
Can start studying our history in slavery even when we deal with the transatlantic slave trade uh we can’t start in 1619 I know the 16 169 project is out there’s some good information in there there’s some problems with the 1619 project as well I wouldn’t say baned or anything like that but um
African people been in the land we call the United States of America going back at least 51,70412 chronologically and deal with the 800e occupation of Europe by the Africans known as the Moors who entered the Iberian Peninsula today known as Spain and Portugal from uh North Africa in uh
7-Eleven ad led by Tariq izia so in yesterday’s class uh we talked about uh the Moors going in fighting against the Bal and the visago and some of the things that the Moors introduced into Europe and it’s going to be the teachings that the Moors take into
Europe that bring Europe out of the Dark Ages so when you register for uh ancient Kim the Moes and the maaa understanding the transatlantic slave trade where they didn’t teach you in school uh you can watch yesterday’s class so this course not only deals with the transatlantic
Slave trade but thousands of years of history that leads up to the transatlantic slave trade taking place uh August 201619 marked the 400th year anniversary of those 20 and OD Africans or 20 and odd Negroes uh coming in The Point Comfort on the white lion pirate
Ship it was a pirate ship it was a English pirate ship on August 2 1619 and what would lat be called the colony of Virginia this year was known as the year of return as many African-Americans were and continue to reconnect to Africa and and are traveling to Ghana and other
West African countries when we discuss the transatlantic slave trade we have the first understanded African people are the original people of North Central and South America and have been in the land we call the United States of America at least the first Americans were Africans documented evidence his book his second
Book came out in October of 2021 the first Americans were Africans revised and expanded on page 14 of his book he deals with uh evidence uh found in Allandale County in South Carolina by Dr Albert goodar who’s an archaeologist at the University of South Carolina uh this
Was a discovery made in 2004 and they found 13 different types of evidence to to thoroughly document an African presence in the land we call the United States of America going back at least 51,70412 today we call the United States of America were African people okay these were the quisan the quisan have
The oldest DNA on the planet they come from Southern Africa they’re the ancestors to the Inu and and the twah the short statured Africans all right now here’s a picture of Dr Albert goodar he’s a white archaeologist uh at the University of South Carolina this is an article from
Science daily.com that came out November 18th 2004 the name of this article is called New Evidence puts man in North America 50,000 years ago new evidence puts man in North America 50,000 years ago the article is still there you can go read it yourself you can go research
It yourself okay um radiocarbon test of carbonized plant remains were where artifacts were Unearthed last May along the Savannah River in Allandale County by University of South Carolina archaeologist Dr Albert goodar indicate that that the sediments containing these artifacts are at least 50,000 years old meaning that uh humans inhabited North
America long before the last ice age okay now who were these humans were these brown skinned Caucasians were these Europeans were these Asians 51700 years ago who who who were these people there were no Europeans on the planet didn’t exist 51700 years ago these were the quisan now in October 2012 genetic
Study published in Science magazine found that the quisan and southern Africa are the oldest ethnic group of modern humans with their ancestral line originating about 100,000 years ago the quisan formerly called uh by the derogatory term Bushman formerly called by the derogatory term Bushmen are genetically unique by uh genetically
Unique and no other currently known population had separated so early from our common modern human ancestor according to the report okay now here are two quisan women these are the short statute Africans okay now the quisan live mainly in southern Africa in territory spanning batswana Namibia Angola Zambia Zimbabwe and South Africa
They are largely divided into two groups hunters and gathers known as the son’s people s ANS and keepers of the livestock known as the quoi people the quisan languages include the distinctive click sounds that are not found in the languages of their neighbors so atlantablackstar.com had a good article
Called uh five ethnic groups that Pro the first humans were black five ethnic groups that proved the first humans were black okay so this is just a sample of the type of information we deal with in this class uh it’s a 12we online course we deal
With thousands of years of History uh we look at archaeological uh discoveries that have come out in the last uh 15 maybe going back 20 years uh we look at the uh discovery of Thomas heracleon uh that was discovered that was revealed in 2013 they have been
Doing an excavation even before then and this is the lost city of Egypt that was um uh built around 8th Century BC okay lost for about 12200 years the lost city of Egypt and they found 16 foot tall statues gold coins they found uh dozens of ship anchors things like this at the
At the bottom of the sea all right we deal with different archaeological discoveries like this one coming out of Morocco in 2017 uh this one now what we see as more and more of these archaeological discoveries come out uh we see that the deeper they dig the blacker the planet
Gets the more research they do the older we get all right so this discovery here pushed back the timeline about a 100,000 years and uh people like Dr Charles Finch who to who Tony Browder mentioned people like roko rashidi and other Scholars they’ve been saying that homo
Sapiens are at least 300,000 years old and not 75,000 to 100,000 years old so this is an article from NBC news.com we we’re older than we thought new find pushes human origin back 100,000 years this is an article from June 7 2017 I remember the date because that’s my
Birth date it’s not just Prince’s birth date it’s my birth date also uh modern humans evolved much earlier than previously thought researchers reported new discoveries at a rich site in Morocco show modern humans were hunting and probably cooking game animals 300,000 years ago 100,000 years earlier than scientists have believed until now
So when these discoveries come out they keep they they have to keep pushing the timelines back you know juvenile had that song called back that thing up okay like 1988 99 they keep having to back that thing up they keep having to back the timelines up when all this when
These discoveries come out the deeper they dig the blacker the planet gets the more research they do the older we get new discoveries and new dating method showed that in fact many of the bones belong to Modern Homo sapiens and and they lived as far back as 300,000 or
350,000 years ago now the earliest previous Homo sapiens bones dated back 195,000 years ago and they were from Clear across the continent in modern day Ethiopia all right so what they’re what they’re seeing now is that Africans were migrating out of the Nile Valley region of Africa much earlier than previously
Thought taking together the finding show modern humans were dispersed across Africa long before anyone ever thought so there’s so much archaeological Discovery so much information coming out week after week okay it’s hard to keep up with it uh so we deal with ancient civilizations we deal with the thex we
We look at this history chronologically uh we look at Carthage and the Punic Wars uh in Hannibal Barka the Battle of Kat 26 uh BC and fighting against uh the Romans and and fighting against pablus corus cpio africanis and Africa was not named after a Roman general named paas corus
Cpio africanis he actually takes his surname after the battle of Zama in 202 BC where he defeats Hannibal Barka and the word africanis is Latin which means of Africa or belonging to Africa so for instance if you look at cassel’s Latin English dictionary uh 2202 Edition uh page 11 in the entry for
A fear or any Latin English dictionary not just specifically this one but when I was doing my research on language this was this was one of my sources um africanis uh u means of Africa or belonging to Africa and that prefix the a free a free referred to a black African people in
Algeria and Tunisia and we know that tiia that that region of Tunisia was historically called Carthage where the carthaginians were the carthaginians are descendant of the Phoenicians the Phoenicians are descendant descendants of a larger group of Africans known as the ganes so in African people in world
History by Dr John Henry Clark page 14 and 15 he says the Nile Valley uh the Nile Valley’s first age of high cultural grander lasted until the the Eve of the Christian era some aspects of it survived of the Greek and Roman occupation of parts of North Africa
After the rise and decline of Greek civilization and the Roman destruction of the city of Carthage so Carthage is destroyed in 146 BC by Rome the Romans organized the conquered territories into a province they called Africa a word derived from a free a r i the name of a
Group of people about whom little is known this was a new name because previously all dark skinned people were called Ethiopians since the Greeks referred to Africa as Ethiopia which means the land of the burnt faac people okay so we talk about Nubia or tanessi
As well we go through and and look at a overview of these different civilizations we deal with the 800 year occupation of by the Africans known as the Moors uh and look at the origin of the term the mo is derived from the Greek word maros m a oos which literally means
Black or very dark or a very dark color the Romans adopt the word and called them Mari m a r i like in Maurice Maurice is in reference to a uh moish boy or a little boy that that that prefix Mari is in reference to the mo
The Mari m r I were a Northwest African people who were very dark skinned the Romans will refer to the region of northwest Africa as morania morania morania is Latin and means the land of the black skinned people you will also see the term marish m a u r i h uh one
Of the sources that we use in the in the class for documentation now you don’t have to uh buy any of these books the follow along in class you don’t have to to buy any of these books but I use this as a reference to document what I’m talking about proper documentation ends
All conversation and when we had our conversation with Tony BR we talked about documentation we talked about references okay so if you read um golden age of the Moore edited by Dr IV van CA who we talked about a lot in the conversation with Tony uh this book right here golden age
Of the Moore edited by Dr Ivy van cerma uh if you look at uh Pages 527 to 187 you’ll see references to this information that I’m citing right here all right so this it took a long time to put together the curriculum for this class I’ve been teaching this class on
And off since 2017 uh so I’ve been teaching like seven years it is it it has evolved immensely uh over the years and uh the class was the the class evolved from a 4 and a half hour lecture that I gave in 2014 called understanding the transatlantic slave trade where they
Didn’t teach you in school and that lecture was the culmination of about seven years of research so in the class we deal with the 800 year occupation of Europe by the Africans known as the Moors um this information all this class also I would say is PG-13 you can use
This with your children and once again uh once you register for the class your access to the course does not end when the course ends so a year from now two years from now you can go back and watch the entire class is on demand so you’ll
Have full access to it we look at shocking archaeological discoveries that are causing experts to rethink everything we look at how insurance companies uh took out insurance policies on slave ships and enslaved Africans on the plantations we look at Freemasonry America and the founding fathers origins of the term America and Africa um
We look at what is the transatlantic slave trade what were some of the events that led up to the transatlantic slave trade starting what role the Christopher Columbus play a lot of people want to avoid talking about Christopher Columbus you have to talk about Columbus because Columbus is is Central to the expansion
Of the transatlantic slave trade he wasn’t the only person but Columbus is critical in understanding the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade and and where he went on his four voyages okay um when did Africans first come to the US as enslaved African people we deal with that as well because this was
Before 1619 and even in 1619 most of what we know about August 201619 is is incorrect because codified slave laws didn’t did did not exist in the 13 colonies in 1619 those those Africans are put into a form of uh indented servitude and they’re released after something like about 5 to seven
Years okay quot ified slave laws first come to the colony of Maryland in 1641 okay uh this article right here uh so when you see me like on Roland Martin filtered and you see me on fagi show the culture on on Roland Martin’s Network the Black Star Network
You see me break down this history the reason why I’m able to do this is because of the the extensive research that I do okay this ain’t a game and uh is Tony said like I got two huge stacks of Articles this is this is half or one
Stack of the articles I had next to me uh so I have like thousands of articles printed up here in the office this is continuous research this is this is not a game all right um this is a historical marker at Fort Monroe and it notes the
Uh in Virginia and it notes the arrival of the first Africans in Virginia okay this comes from a a critical article from Virginia mercury.com uh August 11 2019 the name of this article is much of what we’ve been told about Virginia’s 1619 first Africans is wrong much of
What we’ve been told about Virginia’s 1619 first Africans is wrong um and then there were Africans in South Carolina in 1526 now we’re not talking about Africans being here 51700 years ago we’re not talking about Juan gito coming into Florida with Juan Pon Deon the Spanish kist door in 1513 okay if
You just look at these Africans there’s about a hundred of them taken into the South Carolina Georgia area by the Spanish um in 1526 because the Spanish were here before the English come here okay and we know the Spanish were the second ones involv in the transatlantic slave trade right behind the Portuguese
And when you look at Spain and Portugal they’re right next to each other so this is why they get in Spain and Portugal are right above Morocco so when we have the Moors going into uh Europe This is why Spain and Portugal gets the brunt of that because of where they are located
Geographically above Morocco and when the mo is going in 7-Eleven ad is it’s referred to the as the Iberian Peninsula we know they’re going to defeat the Vandal and the visago and they’re going to settle in the southern portion of what we they call Spain and the Moors
Referred to it as Al andalo Al andalo which basically means to walk in a spiritual path or walk in a spiritual light okay so when we look at um uh this history this history is so fascinating and the reason why this history is so important is because what you do for
Yourself what you do to yourself and what you allow other people to do to you and get away with is based upon what you think about yourself what you think about yourself is based upon what you have been taught about yourself what you’ve been taught about about yourself
Is based upon everything you’ve read heard and seen about yourself okay your thoughts create feelings your feelings create actions and behaviors your actions and behaviors create results uh so before 1619 there was 1526 The Mystery of the first enslaved Africans in what became the United States this is
An excellent article from The Washington Post washingtonpost.com September 7th 2019 Spanish explorers brought 100 uh African slaves to a doomed settlement in South Carolina or Georgia Within weeks the subjugator revolted then vanished and it’s believe they went to go uh live with Native Americans who were here and
Which is kind of a tricky term because you’re going to have uh Africans intermixing with Asians Asians come here around 3000 BC and their offspring or who we call Native Americans but we also uh look at in this class uh uh the the did Africans sell themselves into
Slavery we look at that complicated history uh a good source on that is uh Dr syan de off’s book fighting the slave trade fighting the slave trade West African strategies uh so there’s a there’s so much information in this uh 12we online course so visit our website the africanist network.com Thea
Africanis network.com you can register for it today and like I said you can use this information with your children also um the there was something I was to get to uh quickly here and uh I’ll give you information on the second class that I teach as well the second one deals with
History that directly impacts what’s going on right now okay um so we have this here and we talk about Tariq benad and 7-Eleven ad oh Christopher Columbus okay so I showed you the slide when we were talking about uh when we were speaking with Tony BR because he mentioned Christopher
Columbus Columbus never came to the land that we call the United States of America okay it’s important to look at where Columbus goes on his four voyages the the closest Columbus came to this land is Cuba which is 90 miles away all right uh so when we look at his his
First voyage he uh now there’s a direct connection also because Columbus set sell August 3rdd 14 92 and he it took him about seven years to convince King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella to finance his voyages now the the African Moors lose control of their last stronghold which is Granada January
2nd 1492 and the uh mois Granada uh the the the Spanish Granada Wars okay August 2nd 1492 the the the the the Spanish uh expelled the sephine the seh hardic Jews out of Spain and then August 3rd 1492 columus set sail so he sets Sail on the
N of The Penton in Santa Maria he lands in the Bahamas which he call San Salvador which means St savior then he became a devil to the people uh on October 12 1492 so this is why some people who still celebrate Columbus Day they still recognize October 12 1492
When he landed in uh the Caribbean he landed the first place he landed was the Bahamas he also goes on his first voyage into Cuba conquers Cuba and his espola La Isla uh La Isla Espanola which means the Spanish Island that Spanish phrase is anglicized to Hispanola the Western
Third of the portion of Hispanola is where the Spanish County of Santo Domingo uh was and then the French take over uh the French fight against the Spanish and take control of the western third of the island of Hispanola and 1697 and called it St Dominique and then
There’s a revolution in the island in the in the colony of St Dominique in 1791 and those Africans are going to win their independence from uh France decare their independence January 1st 1804 and called it ATI or Haiti okay this is what we’re talking about this is the region that we’re talking about
Uh Columbus’s second voyage 1493 September 1493 he goes into the West Indies and into Puerto Rico or bin and then Jamaica in 1494 the the Spanish are conquering all these territories and you’re going to see constant fights between these Europeans who have been fighting and killing each other for
Hundreds of years they went from being groups of Barbarians okay the the anglos and the Saxons and the jutes and the Lombards and the PS and the Allens and the Franks they went from being uh and the vanal and the visago they went from being groups of Barbarians to to having
Kingdoms and then they go from having kingdoms to having Nations and they were fighting and killing each other for hundreds of years and they continue with World War I in 1914 in World War II starting in September 1939 when uh Adolf Hitler invades Poland okay so what’s going on
In Ukraine right now is in the region of the world where World War II started because Ukraine is bordered by which two countries Russia and Poland okay so what’s taking place in Ukraine is is serious because that’s the region of the world where World War II started when
Hitler invaded Poland like Putin invaded Ukraine but it was 1939 this is why you have to understand history okay now third vo May 1498 Columbus conquers trenidad and the Venezuelan Mainland and then fourth voyage May 1504 his last Voyage because he dies in 1506 he goes into Panama and Honduras and Central
America these island nations have never recovered from what happened to them over 500 years ago these island nations have never recovered from what happened to them 500 years ago and Columbus helped to uh lay the foundation for slavery racism capitalism and the exploitation of indigenous people which will then lead to right
Reverend Bishop balam delis cus going to uh he goes to the pope uh right around 15 17 or so and says that the Native Americans have suffered enough and they and that we need to stop enslaving them and and enslave exclusively uh African people but also to a lesser lesser extent white people
As well he said he says that but is going to be uh um more extensively African people he said they needed to save the Native American Souls they needed to save the Native American souls okay slavery comes to the new world African slaves were first brought to the
New world shortly after its uncovery conquering by Christopher Columbus Legend has it that one slave was included in his original crew and they could be found on Hispanola site of present day Haiti as early as 1501 upon his arrival in the Bahamas and and he he
Arrives in the Bahamas like I said uh October 12th 1492 Columbus himself captured seven of the natives Columbus himself captured seven of the natives um for their education quote unquote education he said on his return to Spain however the slave trade proper was known as the slave trade proper only
Began in 1518 when the first African cargo direct from Africa landed in the West Indies so this deals with the acento de Negros s signning in the law by King Charles I in August of 1518 which gave a license to uh slave trading nations and slave traders to provide
Spanish colonies with African slaves this drastically expands the transatlantic slave trade the acento de Negros August 1518 signing the law by Spanish King King Charles I sometimes called King Charles I 1 the importation of African slaves to work in the Americas was the inspiration of the Spanish Bishop balamu deas casus who
Support of of African slavery was motivated by humanitarian concerns balamu deis Casas argued that the enslavement of Africans and even some whites proving that in the early period slavery did not operate according to exclusive racial demarcations would save the indigenous americ Indian or American Indian or Native American populations which were
Not only dying out but engaging in large scale uh engaging in uh large scale revolts and re and rebellions okay large scale resistance as they oppos their excessively harsh conditions as a result King Charles I uh king of Spain agreed to the ental degros or slave trading licenses of 1518 which later represented
The most coveted prize in European Wars as it gave to those who possessed it a monopoly in slave trafficking well balamu delis casus traveled with Christopher Columbus on some of his voyages and and he kept a diary okay and his diary was turned into at least two
Books I read two of his books when I was in college okay like tears of the Indians or tears of the Indies something like that so so so Columbus and delas Casas are crucial to understanding the transatlantic slave trade and its expansion so this is why we have to look
At this history chronologically Professor kabah highwa K who who’s one of my teachers and you heard me many my interviews with him over the years he says to understand the existence of something you must first understand the pre-existence of existence okay all right so if you like this type of
Information you can register for this online course now you can start watching it immediately okay uh and we have a lot of archive content there this is uh understanding ancient Kim the Moors and the maafa understanding the transatlantic slave trade where they didn’t teach you in school how’s

Paypal.me the Ahn show okay now the second class that I teach and we do this on Sund days is uh black resistance movements uh from the Haitian revolution us civil war Civil Rights movement and black power movement so I started I put this class together in October 2021 that was the
First time I taught this class and the reason why I had to put this class together is because I had so much information that I that I wanted to cover uh as an extension of the first class to really understand this uh history that happened from 1800 to
1968 um I didn’t have enough time in uh understanding the transatlantic slave trait to cover this information like it like it should be covered so I had to create this second class so we can go through and look in depth um at this history chronologically from um 1800 to
Uh 1968 1970 Okay so and we see that this history puts us directly on a trajectory to where we are today all right now uh when we talk about the voter suppression tactics that are taking place in these former uh Confederate states when we look at um the uh
Political violence that’s taking place as well uh we see this is remin reminiscent of the uh Reconstruction Era okay this is reminiscent of the Reconstruction Era uh uh 1865 to 1877 okay so I’m going to show you two quick references here and then uh we
Have to get out of here because I gotta teach a class also and I’m about to take a nap sometime today because I got to get ready for uh the show tonight as well um and if there other people that you want me to interview email me through the website uh the africanis
Network.com or email me at Ahn showthe africanis network.com if the other people you want me to interview are the scholars Scholars Scholars email me uh also if you want to advertise with the African history Network email us as well our current promotion is uh buy one

Through the website or at Ahn show at the africanis network.com whether you have a brick or mortar store or a um uh ecommer store okay so if we look at this so uh this second class here and let me pull this up here um okay black resistance movements all right so introduction to
This class um in the aftermath of the of the January 6 2021 Insurrection at the US capital building and we know African-American men participated in building the US capital building many leading historians many leading historians Drew parallels between the violence uh that we saw January 6 20121 and the uh period of political
Reol ution uh uh the Drew parallels between the violence that we saw January 6 2021 and the Reconstruction Era reconstruction is 1865 to 1877 okay 1865 to 1877 and this is the um this was the period of political revolution directly following the US Civil War which is 1861 to
1865 so this 12we online uh course that I teach and develop the curriculum for analyzes US History primarily from the African-American perspective beginning In the period looking at 1800 to 19 to 1856 1865 leading up to uh the Civil War and the end of the Civil War and the
Ratification of the 13th Amendment December 6 1865 when Georgia ratifies the 13th Amendment uh we’ll look at the Reconstruction Era 1865-1877 the red summer of 1919 which was the year after World War I ends and you have about 25 major race rides across the country um we look at World
War I 1914 1918 uh The Great Migration 19151 1970 6 million African-Americans migrate from the south up north and Out West The Great Migration totally changes the history of this country uh World War II uh 1939 1945 uh the civil rights movement and the black power movement okay so we look
At history 1800 to 1968 we start with the Haitian revolution in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 because the uh Haitian revolution and the Louisiana Purchase those two events are connected Napoleon bonapart and we know Napoleon conquers Egypt in 1798 Napoleon is trying to raise money because the the the the French are
Almost going bankrupt trying to fight the Haitians uh in St Dominique in Haiti so they sell the land that the you that that uh Louisiana has here in the land we call the United States of America they sell uh what’s known as the Louisiana Purchase the Louisiana Territory 828,000 square miles of land
For about three cents an acre okay and this doubles the territory of the us at the time the Louisiana purchas this is looked at one one of the most significant things that uh president Thomas Jefferson did as president the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 brought into the United United States about 828,000
Square miles of territory from France thereby doubling the size of the young Republic the United States what was known at the time as the Louisiana Territory stretched from the Mississippi River in the East to the Rocky Mountains in the west and from the Gulf of Mexico
In the South to the Canadian border in the north part or all of 15 states were eventually cre ated from the land deal which was considered one of the most important achievements of Thomas Jefferson’s presidency okay but we know France had no claim to the land because
It was stolen land from Native Americans and Africans who were here so you have one Thief selling the land to another thief this is this is the Louisiana Purchase okay um all right now let me go back to this other slide and then we have to get out of here okay
Because I I’ll get going I’ll be here for the next two hours I me you know this is this this is the type of work that I do so this is this is my life’s passion my life’s work uh it’s important to understand this chronology of history from 1800 to 1968
1970 which brings us to 2023 it’s important to understand this chronology of History to get a better understanding of how we got to where we are now to understand where we need to go from understand the laws and policies that need to be put in place to take us where
We need to go everybody’s talking about reparations but very few people understand the history of the damage that you’re trying to seek reparations for to repair the damage of and to seek a legal remedy to a historical problem implies that you need to understand both law and history and unfortunately most
Of our people don’t understand either one of them unfortunately some of this history is repeating itself unfortunately some of this history
