Dr. Rodney Shabazz's Kemetic Sciences Class

You know, in the Western educational system that we have now, you know, the whole idea of presenting an African view on human origins is usually avoided by the suggestion that ancient African views of human origins are mythological, legendary, folklore, and things of that nature. When we really examined the culture that was established in ancient Egypt, we can see that this was more than legend, this was more than mythology. This was really an attempt to, when you're talking about what we know as, when we are commonly referred to as a star of David, we're really in ancient Egypt, this was called the Star of Creation. And when you're looking at this star, the Israelites call the Star of David, you know, you're really talking about two inverted pyramids. And really the idea that this star represents is a principle that is above, so below, as in the heavens, so it is as well on earth. And when we're looking at the layout, when we're looking at the construction, when we're looking at the principles of how life was lived in ancient Egypt or ancient Yemen, you know, this is a central philosophy that comes clear. Alright, so for us to really go to Egypt and have clarity on whether it's kind of important that we kind of translate certain ideas, because really even our whole vocabulary that we use to even refer to Egypt, it distorts our ability to really fully recognize that which we're seeing. Most of the vocabulary that we use in reference to Egypt is a vocabulary that we have inherited from the Greeks, from the Greeks. In the documentary, it talked about the invasions that took place in Egypt, you know, the last people to invade Egypt were the Arabs who came there in 640. And so when we go to Egypt, next month, you know, to a large degree, we're going to be seeing a large Arab presence, and they've been in Egypt from this particular day, 640 AD. Alright, but before the Arabs predominated Egypt, you had the Romans. The Romans came from predominated Egypt from 430 BC, and before the Romans, we had the Greeks. And the Greeks came as early as Alexander, so-called, great in 332 BC. Before the Greeks, you had the Persians, you know, some Eurasians that invaded around 525, I believe, BC. Alright, but- and so this really marks the end of African predominance in this particular region. The predominance of Africans in this region entered around the invasion of the Persians. And so from 525 BC up into the day, Egypt has not really been run by Africans, but it's important that we recognize these things that do apply. Alright, and the oldest date that Egypt has to give us is the date 4240 BC, or BCE. And this is the date that the Ancient Egyptians established the calendar, the calendar that will be used today. You know, the Roman calendar is based upon the Ancient Egyptian calendar. So we were looking at today's date according to the Ancient Egyptians, we're talking about the year 6247, looking at the current world view. This is the year 2007, Rome. Alright. What the Sphinx reveals is that there's water erosion on the Sphinx, but the Sphinx of course is in the desert. And so where have to be such massive water erosion on the Sphinx? And the Sphinx is located in the desert. Well, you would have to do geological research to see a time in history where there was a great flood in that region, or a great amassing of water in that region. And the date that geologists have found where there was a great flood is the day you were talking about this girl in the day, Mother Judy, and that her 10,000 BCE, actually from 70,000 BCE to 10,000 BCE. This marks what they call the last age of the world waste-action period, otherwise known as the Ice Age. So there was a 60,000 year period, as even the documentary showed, where the axis of the Earth shifts and tilts from time to time. Well, from 70,000 to 10,000 BCE, the axis of the Earth was shifted in such a way that the northern hemisphere of the planet received little to no sunlight for 60,000 years. For 60,000 years you had people in the U.S. that were born and to die, some of them never seeing the sun. And so for this 60,000 year period, beyond this impact on human identity, but just on the geology of Europe, you had glaciers that were created that formed the size of skyscrapers. Around 10,000 BCE, that axis shifts again. And when that axis shifts again, then we have this great flooding that takes place in that region. The flooding was so great that even the Sahara Desert that we know today, they've done satellite projections of that Sahara Desert. And what they have found is that there are pyramids that are built in the Sahara Desert west of Egypt. And that they also found river beds in that region as well. And so what this shows is that the sphinx had to be built before 10,000 BCE. And really when you look at the way that the culture created itself, trying to put on earth a phenomenon that replicated that which was taking place in the heavens, you would have to ask when would they build the sphinx. The sphinx is of course a lion body with a human head. And astrologically, it really points to the time of the earth where we talk about the Leo Age, or the Leo Age. Right now we are in the Pisces, we are in the Age of Aquarius now. We just left the 2000 year period that was the Pisces Age. But when was the last time that the earth was in the Leo Age prior to this flood? We're really talking about somewhere around 24,000, 24,000 BCE. So this is often, or some of the newer researchers suggesting that that's actually the date that the sphinx was built around 24,000 BCE, we really pushed the dates back on the founding and the origination of that Kemi or Egyptian culture to 24,000 BCE. What happens with the Europeans is that they're trying to make the dates line up with Mesopotamia. Right, that is what I think. Alright, and so to really talk about Egypt, we really should be operating from an indigenous language. We should really try to capture the indigenous language and the language actually helps us clarify that which we see in Egypt. The language that we use when we say the word Egypt, we're really speaking Greek. The Greeks really name Egypt, Egypt, and the Greeks really name the language or retranslate it, the language to what we commonly refer to the language. What do we call the language of Egypt today, the written language? You know it, it is called... It's called... It's called Hieroglyph, right? Right, it's called Hieroglyph. And the Greeks, the Greeks were not as racist as other Europeans. Actually the Greeks, they showed great honor to the people of Kemi. This is coming from Ronald Robinson's book of Dead. Here he quotes the Greek historian Herodotus, and Herodotus was to write that they told me that the Egyptians first brought in to use the names of the twelve gods which the Greeks took over from them, and were the first to assign altars and images and temples to the gods, and to carve figures of stones. And so the Greeks, Herodotus, Plato, Socrates, they really honored and really worshiped the Egyptians as the gods and goddesses of the planet. It was really not until the 19th century, until a later period in European history where they tried to fabricate and rewrite much of the history that this new perspective of Egypt being other than an African culture, African civilization has manifested.
