Old man Cush, his father Ham, and the ancient land of Canaan. An exegesis

Grand Sheik, Moorish American Moslem Historian,

Islam and greetings to you all.
This exegetic interpretation and elucidation of my religious text, THE HOLY KORAN OF THE MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE OF AMERICA, namely chapter 47 of said book, EGYPT, THE CAPITAL EMPIRE OF THE DOMINION OF AFRICA, is done in an attempt to show to you the reader, researcher, student, and/or doubter & detractor, the verity of the historicity as contained in the doctrine of the Moorish Americans, and student of history in general, as to set us apart from others who cannot wholly teach nor expound upon their particular fields of religious rhetoric as we Moorish Americans can. This is not to brag or gloat, neither is it to demean or put down any other theologian(s) or scholar(s), it is simply to say that reason is what separates man from beast and reason is that portion of our thinking faculty that comes directly from Allah or if you choose to say God or any other title of source energy that you care to bestow. I say the latter to say, it is impossible for one who is a scholar or researcher and possesses even a base degree of reason to ignore such facts based largely thereon, a body of evidence, empirical and otherwise, that shows and proves the position of the one, and disproves the position of the other, and still, in all obstinacy, cling to the position of the other. Those claiming to be either theologians or scholars or both, would have to, at some point, admit that they themselves are living untruths for either gain, notoriety, or both. Either way we are taught in our doctrine that a master mind can trace himself back through the ages, and thus he knows [the truth]. So we will begin.
CHAPTER 47
EGYPT, THE CAPITAL EMPIRE OF THE DOMINION OF AFRICA
1. The inhabitants of Africa are the descendants of the ancient Canaanites from the land of Canaan.
According to my interpretation, the Prophet Noble Drew Ali is speaking here in modern terminology in relation to what generally is accepted as Africa today. In 1884 at the Berlin Conference, the boundaries of Africa were decided and thus split up under the dominion of the European powers. The fact of the matter is that, Africa and Arabia are one land only divided by the Red Sea, and wholly separated by the man made Suez Canal. Imagine the Mississippi River which almost splits the United States in two, being the dividing line between the United States of North America and we recognizing it as two distinct countries. This is what has happened to Africa and Arabia when some great cataclysm caused the Red Sea to form in those ancient of days. Herodotus, that famous Greek historian, said that it was strange that this land mass which includes all of Africa, Asia and Europe, was given three different and distinct names [1]. Geologists call this land mass “Eurasia” or “Afro-Eurasia” this is undoubtedly the one land mass that was and considered today, the “old world.”[2]
Geologically Africa includes that part of Asia which we now call Mesopotamia, Palestine and Syria... Arabia and the Syrian Desert are merely the extension of the great deserts of Northern Africa.[3] Plate tectonics caused the Arabian plate to break off from the African shield, creating the Red Sea. As the Encyclopedia Britanica explains:
“Western Arabia formed part of the African landmass before a rift occurred in the Earth’s crust, as a result of which the Red Sea was formed and Africa and the Arabian Peninsula finally became separated some five to six million years ago. Thus, the southern half of the peninsula has a greater affinity with the regions of Somalia and Ethiopia in Africa than with northern Arabia or the rest of Asia.[4]
Nevertheless Arabia remains today the geological and ecological continuation of Africa, despite the Red Sea cleavage. Maurizio Tosi, in his important article “The Emerging Picture of Prehistoric Arabia,”Annual Review of Anthropology 15 (1986): 461-490 confirms:
“In general, Arabia is the continuation of the African system across the Red Sea, spanning the Saharo-Arabian phytogeogrphical region comprising its northern and central parts and the Sudanese one for its tropical southern and eastern coastlands. Physically the (Arabian) peninsula is a part of Africa, landscaped by the same geological and climate processes as the eastern Sahara and the Ethiopian highlands. In terms of geomorphology and climatology Arabia is part of what’s called the “Saharo-Arabian Region.” But the ecological evidence (phytogeographical and zoogeographical) also points to Arabia being “Africa across the Red Sea”. In 1982 Stacey International published its Saudi-endorsed study of the region, noting:
“Maps and geography books make Arabia a part of Asia, but plant and animal life clearly bear out the theory that it is really an extension of Africa…Saudi Arabia’s wildlife is…an African complex of species…The animals and plants of northern and northeastern Saudi Arabia are generally closely related to or identical with Saharan species…”[5]*
Figure 1: Map showing that Arabia and Africa is only separated by the Red Sea and the desert portion spreads from Northwest Africa all throughout Arabia.
Canaan could logically be considered North East Arabia or on the contrary, Arabia could be easily considered South west Canaan if we were using ancient maps to determine. All of this area was called Asia by the early scholars of antiquity and our scholars of yesteryear in these modern times.
We find cross references to such a claim as made by the Prophet Drew Ali coming from the ancient city of Gubal (Gebal) located in ancient Canaan, which came to be known as Byblos by the Greeks of which you get your word “Bible” which literally means “Papyrus Book” passed down to us today. It is no wonder that the core of the biblical accounts take place in Ancient Canaan which came to be known as Palestine and Israel respectively and is the cause of so much drama and angst in these modern days and times. Today the city of Gubal is called Lebanon. According to the Phoenician historian Sanchuniathon, the city of Gebal was built around 5000 B.C. By Chronus (biblical Noah?) as the first city of ancient Canaan [6]. It is believed by many historians that this modern day city is the oldest inhabited city in the world boasting of a continuous population from the time of the earliest Canaanites some 8300 years ago. The Arabic speakers call this city by the name Jubayl or Jbeil which is a direct descendant of the Canaanite name Gubal. Modern archaeologists radio carbon date the city to 6230 B.C. [7]
Even in earlier times, the writer Philo of Byblos (64-141 C.E.) claimed Gubal had the reputation for being the oldest city in the world. At some point during the Old Kingdom (3rd millennium B.C.) Gubal is seen as an Egyptian colony and an ally to ancient Egypt for many centuries. [8]. Tombs of the first dynastic period of ancient Egypt used timber from Byblos (This is akin to Solomon receiving timber from Hiram of Tyre). One of the oldest Egyptian words for a sea faring boat was “Byblos Ship.” the first dynastic ruler Kha'skehemwy would send signed gifts to the shrine of the “Mistress of Byblos” [Ishtar].[9]
We find a striking letter from the rulers of Gubal, Rib-Hadda and his successor Ili-Rapih, pleading for assistance from Akhenaten against the Hapiru (Hebrews of Joshua). This was between the years of 1350-1335 B.C. The years closely attributed to the raiding of Canaan by Joshua (Isrealites). In EA 139 of the Armana Letters (EA meaning “EL ARMANA”) under the title “A new voice, an old story”, sent by Ili-Rapih, we read:
“To the king, [my] lord my sun: Message of Ili-Rapih, your servant: message of Gu(b)la, your maidservant. I fall at the feet of the lord, the Sun, 7 times and [7 times]. Do not neglect Gu-la, your city and the city of your ancestors from most ancient times. Moreover, behold Gu-la! Just as Hikuptah, so is Gu-la to the king, my lord. Do not neglect the delicts of a servant as for he acted as he pleased in the lands of the King...”
It is clear that Ili-Rapih, ruler of Gubal, is showing the highest degree of reverence that one can show a king in this correspondence. Surely, he would not have called Gubal “your city” and the “city of your ancestors from most ancient times” if this were not truth as such a statement could have been looked at with the highest degree of disrespect. Reason avers, that this Pharaoh was indeed one of the sons of this ancient city of Canaan and the whole context of the above asserts some form of verity and validity to what the Prophet Noble Drew Ali has relayed to us in this opening verse of chapter 47. Diodorus Sicilus claims that the Cushites told him that the Egyptians were a colony drawn out of them by Osiris [10]. All archaeologists agree that at some point, Egypt became settled by those outside of that area. Canaan was an ancient stronghold and identified as Cushitic as we will note later in this exegesis. Also, if this letter is referencing Ankhenaten, it is plausible that Ankhenaten based on his physiognomy as shown in the many statues and carvings, and his introduction of the worship of the “one God”, could have been descendant of ancient Canaan. Why else would he depict himself as having the body of a woman at times and the face and braun of a man? This researcher infers that this was done to represent the Sun-God Aten, and the Moon Goddess Ishtar whom the nations of the Levant would reference in such order when addressing the Pharaoh. He is also depicted as a very tall being which gives description to the inhabitants of Canaan as noted several times in the Bible, whose accounts are copied into the Quran of Mecca. This will be addressed in detail in the upcoming book on this particular topic.
According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary of 1966-77, we get this definition for Gebal:
GE'BAL (a line, or mountain ridge) (Psalms 83:5-7). A district S. of Moab, from W. el Ahay S. to Shobek, near W. Shuweir. The cities were Arindela, Bozrah, Shobek, Tophel, and others smaller – 2. A very ancient city on a spur of Lebanon, close to the shore anciently having a fine harbor, which is now choked up with sand and ruins of buildings, quays, etc. The castle is one of the best specimens of ancient masonry, having stones 20 feet long and beveled. The columns and walls, and their great extent especially, prove the splendor and importance of the city (Ez. 27:9; Joshua 13:5). Workers in stone from G[ebal] were employed on Solomon's temple (1 K. 5:18 – stone squarers being a translation of Giblites – people of Gebal). Jebail.
These were the veteran craftsman, the master masons of old. The descendants of Joshua, called “Hebrews” and “Jews” today, have written in the Psalms of their Torah at 83:4-7:
“come they say, let us destroy them as a nation. That the name of Israel be remembered no more. With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you – the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarites,Gebal, Ammon and Amelek. Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot.”
These are the predecessors to the Moorish colonies that would later settle in North Africa after being driven from their homeland, Canaan. It is Israel which displaced them but the Torah reads as if these, our ancestors are the aggressors. The master masons of Gebal have always furnished the building materials for Kings as the bible undoubtedly proves at 1Kings 5:18 “The craftsman of Solomon and Hiram and the men of Gebal...”
A curious work was translated in 1860 or thereabout, by the Orientalist Chwolsohn, and presented to an ever-incredulous and flippant Europe under the innocent title of Nabathean Agriculture. In the opinion of the translator that archaic volume is a ‘complete initiation into the mysteries of the pre-Adamite nations, on the authority of undeniably authentic documents.’ It is ‘an invaluable compendium, the full epitome of the of the Doctrines held, of the arts and sciences, not only of the Chaldeans, but also the Assyrians and Canaanites of the prehistoric ages.’ ” [11]
Old man Cush and his family are the first inhabitants of Africa who came from the land of Canaan.
His father Ham and his family were second. Then came the word Ethiopia, which means the demarcation line of the dominion of Amexem, the first true and divine name of Africa. The dividing of the land between the father and the son.
Here, the Prophet is speaking in the eponymous language of early historians who conflated the biblical characters with their historical representatives and, to relay to us that we are the ancient Cushites and Hamites, builders and civilizers of the old world. Old man Cush speaks to the antiquity of our race. Some notable historians and researchers have agreed with this revelation from the Prophet that the inhabitants of Africa did come from the ancient land of Canaan. Rudolph R. Windsor who wrote the book, From Babylon to Timbuctoo says “First of all, in ancient periods, the black Hebrews referred to Egypt (the guardian of the northeastern gate of Africa) as the Land of Ham. The Hebrew ethnologist used the eponymous name (Ham) because they were conscious of the fact that many of Ham’s descendants traveled from Asia toward the south and inhabited the continent we know of today as Africa. It seems that there are no Semites or Indo-Europeans in the Land of Ham (Africa) before the enslavement of the Hebrews and the Hyskos invasion. Ancient Palestine was part of the Land of Ham before the Hebrews came and expelled the Hamitic Canaanites.” Herbert Wendt wrote in his book “It Began in Babel”: “All indications point to the fact that Asia was the cradle of the black race”
Rudolph Windsor goes on to say in his book
“Now we know that Asia was the birthplace of the black race. How did these people in Asia become lighter in complexion? There are five answers to this question (1) The Indo-European invasion or Germanic invasion of Asia, (2) The Greek invasion of the Middle East, (3) the Roman invasion of the Middle East and North Africa, (4) The Jewish slave trade, and (5) The Arab slave trade. The Indo-European invaders penetrated the Middle East and mixed with black Asiatics as far away as India during the second millennium B.C. The European Scythians passed through southern Russia and Central Asia as far as the borders of China. [he cites from Herbert Wendt, It Began in Babel p. 14] During the Greek and Roman invasions, their soldiers settled down in the Middle East and North Africa to disseminate Greek and Roman Culture. (he cites from, A History of the Jews by Solomon Grayzel page 42) Moreover, they married colored woman. The Jews sold white slaves (he cites from Israel Abraham’s, Jewish Life in the Middle Ages pages 98-99) to the Arabs throughout Africa and Asia. When the black Moors from North Africa conquered Portugal and Spain, they transported thousands of white slaves of Germanic descent to Africa (J.A. Rogers, World’s Great Men of Color. Page 124.). All of these white people who came or were brought to Africa and Asia were absorbed into the native population.” [12]
“How and where did Africa receive its black population? Did it come from the south, the east, the north, the west, across the mighty oceans, or did this population originate in the interior of the continent through a gradual process of evolution? Herbert Wendt and Basil Davidson say that it presumably came from Mesopotamia (Babylonia).” The history of the ancient black Jews indicates that the early patriarchs of the African people migrated from Babylonia, but there is a proclivity among many scholars to bypass Jewish sources (because of prejudice), and look elsewhere for the solution in the mythologies of the nations. Much truth has become lost in the worship of man gods and in the deification of many kings. Can we put any credence in Jewish records that record the ethnology and migrations of the ancestors of the Africans? I think so because Abraham came from the district of Babylon, which was the cradle of civilization. Abraham had oral traditions transmitted from Noah and Shem. Abraham rendered obeisance to the one true God; therefore, his descendants were able to transmit a long uninterrupted religion, history, culture, and language. No other nation in the Near East can boast of claim as much. Even great as Egypt was, her ancient religion and language are now extinct. The Hamites began to arrive in Africa from the middle East between 5000-3500 B.C. These Hamites were (according to the Hebrews): Mizraim (Egypt), Phut (Somaliland and westward) and Cush (Ethiopia). The Hamitic Canaanites did not colonize North Africa until the ninth century B.C., when they established the city of Carthage at Tunis. The Egyptians and their descendants are Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim, Philistim, and Caphtorim.[13]
Next, as we find detailed in Druscilla Dunjee Houston's indefatigable works, Wonderful Ethiopians of the Ancient Cushite Empire, “we come to the fact that the Canaanites called themselves Cushites and that the Hebrew writers gave them the same name; then we reflect upon the strange relationship of the family of Cushite tongues to the so-called Indo-European group of languages” [14]. We are accustomed to think of Ethiopia as a restricted country in Africa but this was not true. The study of ancient maps and the descriptions of the geographers of old, reveals that the ancient Land of Cush was a very widespread and powerful empire. Rosenmuller shows us that the Hebrew scholars called Cush, all the countries of the torrid zone. It was the race that that early scholar Huxley saw akin to the Dravidians of India, stretching in an empire from India to Spain. The Greeks described Ethiopia as the country around the Indus and Ganges. [15]
The early indefatigable scholar of Ancient Asiatic culture, Godfrey Higgins, had this to say about an ancient city of the so called blacks:
“It was the opinion of Sir William Jones, that a great nation of Blacks formerly possessed the dominion of Asia, and held the seat of empire at Sidon. These must have been the people called by Mr. Maurice Cushites or Cuthites, described in Genisis; and the opinion that they were Blacks is corroborated by the by the translators of the Pentateuch, called the Seventy, constantly rendering the word Cush by Ethiopia. It is very certain that, if the opinion be well founded, we must go for the time when this empire flourished to a period anterior to all our regular histories. It can only be known to have existed from accidental circumstances, which have escaped amidst the ruins of empires and the wrecks of time. Of this nation we have no account; but it must have flourished after the deluge. And, as our regular chronological systems fill up the time between the flood and what is called known undoubted history; if it be allowed to have existed, its existence will of course prove that no dependance can be placed on the parts of that history. It will shew that all the early chronology is false; for the story of this empire is not told. It is certain that its existence can only be known from insulated circumstances, collected from various quarters, and combining to establish the fact. But if I succeed in collecting a sufficient number to carry conviction to an impartial mind, the empire must be allowed to have existed” [16]
"We may perceive in all this the remembrance of a powerful empire founded by Cushites in very early ages. We find traces of a wealthy nation, constructors of great buildings, with an advanced civilization like that of Chaldea. This must be true as everywhere we find traces of Cushites in Arabian literature and their brothers the Canaanites."[17] Now according to these early scholars, whom were also archaeologists and studied the archaeological remains, they unequivocally note the existence of an ancient empire that held its seat in Sidon. To where do we corroborate this history outside of these early scholars which happens to be right in line with our Holy book the Moorish Koran, and mentioned in the Armana letters? A lot has been hidden from us.
Sidon is said to be the son of Canaan by the biblical codex writers but in all actuality, it is a city of ancient Canaan and could possibly be part of a vast city called by the Greeks Marathos. Another early prominent scholar on Asiatic history, John Denison Baldwin, in his book Pre-Historic Nations, had this to say about the early Canaanites whom were given the name Phoenicians by the Greeks:
“Other remains of rock-sculpture and Cyclopean building were noted at Marathos; and so it is throughout Phoenicia. The Cushite origin of these cities is so plain, that those most influenced by the strange monomania which transforms the Phoenicians to Semites now admit that the Cushites were the first civilizers and builders in Phoenicia. Those old builders, whose sculpture produced such astonishing effects in coarse rock, resorted to wood and metal for the finish and ornamentation of their work [18].”
“The doubts and perplexities that have troubled inquiry concerning the Phoenicians are due chiefly to the influence of chronological dogmatism. Investigators have created most of them by assuming that the commonly accept scheme of Ancient History must not be disturbed. To explain the facts presented for consideration, we must disregard this influence, and be entirely free to admit any conclusion that shall seem necessary. The great antiquity of the people called Phoenicians was acknowledged by the ancients. Herodotus, evidently, did not suppose it could be denied. Josephus, while pointing out that “almost all which concerns the Greeks happened not long ago,” mentions as a fact generally understood of the antiquity of the Phoenicians was as great as that of the Chaldeans and Egyptians. He says, writing against Apion: The Greeks acknowledge “that they were the Egyptians, the Chaldeans, and the Phoenicians, who preserved the memorials of the most ancient and most lasting traditions of mankind [19].”
Another early notable scholar, Bunsen, says in his Philosophy of Ancient History, "The Hamitic family as Rawlinson proves must be given the credit for being the fountainhead of civilization. This family comprised the ancient Ethiopians, the Egyptians, the original Canaanites and the old Chaldeans. The inscriptions of the Chaldean monuments prove their race affinity. The Bible proves their relationship. It names the sons of Ham as Cush, Mizraim, Phut and the race of Canaan. Mizraim peopled Egypt and Canaan the land later possessed by the Hebrews. Phut located in Africa and Cush extended his colonies over a wide domain. " Bunsen concludes by saying, "Cushite colonies were all along the southern shores of Asia and Africa and by the archaeological remains, along the southern and eastern coasts of Arabia. The name Cush was given to four great areas, Media, Persia, Susiana and Aria, or the whole territory between the Indus and Tigris in prehistoric times. In Africa the Ethiopians, the Egyptians, the Libyans, the Canaanites and Phoenicians were all descendants of Ham. They were a black or dark colored race and the pioneers of our civilization. They were emphatically the monument builders on the plains of Shinar and the valley of the Nile from Meroe to Memphis. In southern Arabia they erected wonderful edifices. They were responsible for the monuments that dot southern Siberia and in America along the valley of the Mississippi down to Mexico and in Peru their images and monuments stand a "voiceless witnesses."[20] We have Prophet Noble Drew Ali cited as saying “The Moors were living up and down the Mississippi” giving attestation to him being a master mind and purveyor of a lost history of our people.
Wilford, that eminent student of the literature of India, found that Cush was often mentioned in the Sanskrit writings of the people of India. The world according to the Puranas, ancient historical books, was divided into seven dwipas or divisions. What we know today as Ethiopia was Cusha-Dwipa, which included Arabia, Asia Minor, Syria, Nubia, Armenia,Mesopotamia, and an extended region in Africa. These Sanskrit writings prove that in remote ages these regions were the most powerful richest and most enlightened part of the world. From these authoritative records and the conclusions drawn by historians of deeper research we would decide that many ancient peoples, who have been assigned to other races in the average historical book of modern times, were in reality Cushites. There were nations that called themselves Cushites who never knew themselves under the titles and classifications that superficial students have given them today, names like Ethiopians. The Canaanites, even up until the days of “Christ” called themselves Cushites.”[21]
In actuality, Ham and Cush and Canaan are one and the same, just different cultures spread out across the Asiatic or Eastern portion of the earthland, contemporaneous with each other in the remotest of times. Ancient Canaan comprised ancient Babylon (Chaldea), Arabia, India, and Canaan as we know it today. “Heeren in his Ancient Nations of Africa, tells us that commercial intercourse existed Between the countries of southern Asia, between India and Arabia, Ethiopia, Libya and Egypt, which was founded upon their mutual necessities; and became the parent of the civilizations of these peoples.” [22]
The testimony of those notable scholars as given above should suffice and satisfy any doubt that one may have in regards to if Prophet Drew Ali brought to us a true accounting of our history. As this is just a note on this subject, I did not wish to belabor the points therein as I have many, many more references to share from my findings. Those will be compiled in a later volume which will be released in book form by this researcher.
It is also obvious that Ethiopia does not literally mean “demarcation” or “something divided” according to the etymological and standardized meaning of the word. The Prophet is elucidating here that when this word, Ethiopia came into play, there was a definite distinction made between the Maures (Moors) of North Africa, and those whom the Greeks called Ethiopians by these early historians thus, separating us to a degree. In this Moorish American Lexicon however, this name will forever mean the aforementioned.
3.The dominion of Cush, North-East and South-East Africa and North-West and South-West was his father's dominion of Africa.
“Champollion, the father of Egyptology, in his valuable memoirs declared, that the Lower Valley of the Nile was originally peopled from Abyssinia and Meroe.” [23]. “The Pharaohs claimed to be literal and lineally descended from Amen-Ra. This was implicitly believed by their subjects. Let us seek to trace who Amen-Ra was. He was originally the god of Ethiopia. Amen-Ra was Cush, the son of Ham from whom the Cushites sprang. He was not one of the oldest deities of Egypt because he was preceeded by the gods of the ages of Noah (Saturn) and Ham. About the time of the rise of Thebes his name from his worldwide conquests must have been entered into the cycle of gods; for Africans deified their dead kings. Undoubtedly descendants of the great Cush sat upon the throne of Egypt This is why his name and form appear in the 11th Dynasty and its line of kings assumed his name.[24]
His became the predominant shrine of Egypt and its enrichment became the chief object of the Pharaohs. Amen or Cush was recognized by Egypt as its chief god. All the mummery of the world which tries to resolve the gods of old into anything else presents the height of folly. The ancients looked upon Zeus, Apollo and Osiris as persons. Amen-Ra was the Zeus of Greece, that was why they said the gods [of Greece] banqueted with the Ethiopians. He was the Jupiter of Rome. Zeus was king of kings because he was chief ruler in Ethiopia and over the lesser kings in his wide domains stretching from India to farther Norway. Horus, Apollo, Belus and Nimrod his son, were recognized and worshipped by all Cushite colonies. In the sculptures the Negro types of Africa are the assistants at the festivals in Amen's honor. He, himself, was of the same ancestry. In the later chapters of the Egyptian ritual his name is in the language of the Negroes of Punt.”[25]
Until this day, you can find Cushite tribes, preserving the Cushite tongue in the Horn of Africa and present day Sudan and other countries east of Africa. The Indo-European tongue which is composed of the Sanskrit element, is largely based in part and derived from the Cushite family of languages. The dominion of Ham, which too can be considered a Nilo-Saharan language by some but not all accounts, gives us clues to this portion of the history as relayed by our Prophet. The Puranas, the ancient historical books of India, speak of the civilization of Ethiopia as being older than that of Egypt. These Sanskrit books mention the names of old Cushite kings that were worshipped in India and who were adopted and changed to suit the fancy of the later people of Greece and Rome.The Hindu Puranas speak of the Cushites going to India before they went to Egypt, proving Hindu civilization coeval (Having the same age or date of origin) with that of Chaldea and the country of the Nile. These ancients record that the Egyptians were a colony drawn out from Cusha-Dwipa and that the Palli, another colony that made the Canaanites follow them from the land of Cush. “In those primitive days, the central seat of Cush was not the Meroe of our day, which is very ancient, but a kingdom that preceeded it by many ages; that was called Meru. Lenormant spoke of the first men of the ancient world as "Men of Meru." Sanskrit writers calledIndra, chief god of the Hindu, king of Meru. He was deified and became the chief representative of the supreme being. Thus was primitive India settled by Cushite colonists from the ancient land of Canaan. Early writers said there was very little difference in the color or features of the people of the two countries. Ancient traditions told of the deeds of Deva Nahusha, another sovereign of Meru, who extended his empire over three worlds. The lost literature of Asia Minor dealt with this extension of the Cushite domain.” [26]
The Armana letters speaks of a nation called “Ullassa” which some interpreters and translators of those ancient diplomatic corresponding texts, contend to be Tripoli. [needs more research]. The above in total gives credence to the fact that Egypt was indeed the capital Empire of the dominion of what we know today as Africa. By careful analysis of the Armana letters, every kingdom of the Levant and those inside Africa to a degree, gave tribute to the Pharaoh and he was seen as a representative of the Sun-God while in the Levant particularly, the rulers of those lands were seen as representatives of the Moon Goddess Ishtar as she is mentioned several times in said letters.
4. In later years many of their bretheren from Asia and the Holy Lands joined them.
This statement alone proves that they were all one peoples, brothers and sisters of varying cultures sharing one common thread of civility, organization, government, and religion. When the bible mentions these tribes “Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarites, Gebal [that is Byblos] Ammon and Amelek. Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot”, you understand what is meant this conglomeration and the statement above as relayed to us by our Prophet Drew Ali. We will detail this in the exegetical explanation of the next verse.
5. The Moabites from the land of Moab who received permission from the Pharaohs of Egypt to settle and inhabit North-West Africa; they were the founders and are the true possessors of the present Moroccan Empire. With their Canaanite, Hittite, and Amorite bretheren who sojourned from the land of Canaan seeking new homes.
The above verse is a detailing of the Prologue of the HOLY KORAN OF THE MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE OF AMERICA as given by the Prophet when he stated:
“The industrious acts of the Moslems of the northwest and southwest Africa. These are the Moabites, Hamathites, Canaanites, who were driven out of the land of Canaan, by Joshua, and received permission from the Pharaohs of Egypt to settle in that portion of Egypt. In later years they formed themselves kingdoms. These kingdoms are called this day Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, Tripoli, etc.”
This researcher has already proven without doubt the ethnicity of the Moabites and Ammonites in a previous note. (To read that note click here).These are the people that make up the Mauri-Berber tribes of North Africa. This researcher believes these particular tribes to represent the oldest of our race. Houston points out:
“Strabo mentions the Nubians as a great race west of the Nile. They came originally from Kordofan, whence they emigrated two thousand years ago. They have rejected the name Nubas as it has become synonymous with slave. They call themselves Barabra, their ancient race name. Sanskrit historians call the Old Race of the Upper Nile Barabra. These Nubians have become slightly modified but are still plainly Negroid. They look like the Wawa on the Egyptian monuments.” [27]
“Baedecker describes them as strong, muscular, agricultural and more warlike and energetic than Egyptians. Keane says the Nubians excel in moral qualities. They are by his description obviously Negroid, very dark with full lips and dreamy eyes. They have the narrow heads which are the cranial formation of Ethiopia. Race may be told by shape of the skull far better than by color or feature, which are modified by climate. The members of the Tartar race have perfectly rounded skulls. The head of the Ethiopian races is very elongated. Europeans have an intermediate skull. The cranial formation of unmixed races never changes. Keane concludes by saying, "All Barbara have wooly hair with scant beards like the figures of Negroes on the walls of the Egyptian temples." The race of the Old Empire approached closely to this type.”[28]
"In the oldest recorded traditions, Cushite colonies were established in the valley of the Nile, Barabra and Chaldea. This beginning must have been not later than 7000 or 8000 B. C. or perhaps earlier. They brought to development astronomy and the other sciences, which have come down to us. The vast commercial system by which they joined together the "ends of the earth" was created and manufacturing skill established. The great period of Cushite control had closed many ages prior to Homer, although separate communities remained not only in Egypt but in southern Arabia, Phoenicia and elsewhere."[29]
“According to Dr. Pritchard, it is probable that the Barabra may be an offshoot from the original stock that first peopled Egypt and Nubia. It was the Old Race of the higher civilization that ruled Egypt in the pre-dynastic ages. It was from this nation went forth the colonies that spread civilization. This old race of the Upper Nile, the Agu or Anu of the ancient traditions, spread their arts from Egypt to the Ægean, from Sicily to Italy and Spain. Mosso Angelo says that the characteristic decorations on the pottery of the Mediterranean race of prehistoric times is identical with that of pre-dynastic Egypt. Reisner in 1899 examined 1200 tombs in the Nile valley. He found the remains of a distinct race who buried their dead with legs doubled up against abdomen and thorax. This was an old Ethiopian form of burial, which preceeded embalming and may be traced through ancient Cushite lands.” [30]
Barabra is an old ethnographical term for the Nubian peoples of Sudan and southern Egypt. The word is variously derived from Berberi, i.e. Berber people, or described as identical with Barabara, figuring in the inscription on a gateway of Tethmosis I, as the name of one of the 113 tribes conquered by him. In a later inscription of Rameses II at Karnak (1300 B.C.), Beraberata is given as the name of a southern conquered people. Thus it is suggested that Barabra is a real ethnical name, confused later with Greek and Roman barbarus, and revived in its proper meaning subsequent to the Moslem conquest. A tribe living on the banks of the Nile between Wadi Haifa and Assuan are called Barabra.” [31] This negates Wayne B. Chandler's, Chancellor Williams, and many others, and their meaning of Berber and those who equate it with the Roman word for Barbarian. Berber is an original name just passed down to us in the form we pronounce it today. This writer offers a challenge to refute any of the above.
Another Moorish tribe of the ancient Berber stock that I want to point out was called the Musulamii. In reading Dana Marniche's (Reynolds) portion of the book Golden Age of the Moor, by Ivan Van Sertiman, she kept rendering the word as Musulinii. Not to mention that Runoko Rashidi, Wayne B. Chandler, nor Ivan Van Sertima touched on this particular tribe. The Musulamii were a confederation of Berber-speaking Gaetulian tribes, of the Mauri ethnos, who inhabited the desert regions of what is today Algeria, as well as the Roman province of Mauretania Caesariensis, which was annexed to the Roman empire in 44 AD.” [32] This researcher, though no proof has presented itself as of yet, hereby infers an conjecturable etymological point, that the word Moslem/Muslim is ultimately derived from this particular word and this particular confederation which would become a mixture of Moorish and mixed Moorish Roman blood. [I will give my reason and my findings in the book that I am constructing on this topic while expounding on this subject in detail.]
Herodotus calls the Gaetulian tribes Atlantaeans. Some of the “Libyan” tribes that are mentioned by Herodotus are the Nasamones, Gindanes, Machlyes, Gamphasantes, Giligammae, Psylli, Atlantaeans, Lotophagii, Macae, Adyrmachidae and Auseans.” [33]. These tribes represent Ham and his dominion of the Northwest and the Southwest portions of Africa. This researcher has concluded that these Chaldeans/Babylonians are they who settled in the ancient cities of Canaan after the conditions there became unbearable. These represent the tribes that inhabited North Africa. Libya is of the Hamitic peoples who at times held the throne of ancient Egypt. Shoshenq I, a Libyan of pure Moorish (Africoid) blood, sat upon the throne during the 22nd dynasty. Libyans were called Moors in the book “The Cambridge ancient history: The High Empire, A.D. 70-192.” These facts as so stated above, also negates Wayne B. Chandler's claim in the book Golden Age of the Moor that the Libyans were a red haired blue eyed people of light skin.

Many claim that the Amorites to be blonde hair and blue eyed peoples because of the early archaeologist Sayce attributing this name to those peoples. This researcher is compiling compelling evidence to disprove Sayce's claim. Because of this find, King David is said to have had red hair and blue eyes. I present here only several of my findings to refute that claim as that particular field needs more attention than I can give it at this time. “The Amorites are not Semites as many prejudiced scholars assert, but they were Hamites, the descendants of Ham through Canaan.” (Gen 10:6 and 10:15-16) [34] “Others like the Nabataeans of Petra were in fact known as Amorites until a late period. By Arabic historical traditions, there were descendants of Nimrod and Kush who were said to have come to Jordan's Chatt El Arab area of present day Iraq or what was then known as Babylon” – [35]
This conglomeration of tribes would form the dominion that would become known as Mauretania or the Land of the Moors. This district, which was separated on the E. from Numidia, by the river Ampsaga, and on the S. from Gaetulia, by the snowy range of the Atlas, was washed upon the N. coast by the Mediterranean, and on the W. by the Atlantic. From the earliest times it was occupied by a people whom the ancients distinguished by the name MAURUSII (Strab. i. p.5, iii. pp. 131, 137, xvii. pp. 825, 827; Liv. 24.49; Verg. A. 4.206; Ptol. 4.1.11) or MAURI ( “Blacks,” in the Alexandrian dialect, Paus. i, 33 § 5, 8.43. [2.297] § 3; Sal. Jug. 19; Pomp. Mela, 1.4.3; Liv. 21.22, 28.17; Hor. Carm. 1.22. 2, 2.6. 3, 3.10. 18; Tac. Ann. 2.52, 4.523, 14.28, Hist. 1.78, 2.58, 4.50; Lucan 4.678; Juv. 5.53, 6.337; Flor. 3.1, 4.2); hence the name MAURETANIA (the proper form as it appears in inscriptions, Orelli, Inscr. 485, 3570, 3672; and on coins, Eckhel, vol. vi. p. 48; comp. Tzchucke, ad Pomp. Mela, 1.5.1) or MAURITANIA ( Ptol. 4.1.2; Caes. B.C. 1.6, 39; Hirt. B. Afr. 22; Pomp. Mela, 1.5; Plin. Nat. 5.1; Eutrop. 4.27, 8.5; Flor. iv. (the MSS. and printed editions vary between this form and that of Mauretania); Strab. p. 827). These Moors, who must not be considered as a different race from the Numidians, but as a tribe belonging to the same stock, were represented by Sallust (Sal. Jug. 21) as a remnant of the army of Hercules, and by Procopius (B. V. 2.10) as the posterity of the Cananaeans who fled from the robber Joshua; he quotes two columns with a Phoenician inscription. Procopius has been supposed to be the only, or at least the most ancient, author who mentions this inscription, and the invention of it has been attributed to himself; it occurs, however, in the history of Moses of Chorene (1.18), who wrote more than a century before Procopius. The same inscription is mentioned by Suidas (s. v.), who probably quotes from Procopius.[36] “The name Maure as has been said was first used for one of the several dozen ‘black’ tribes that occupied North Africa even before the Christian era. The tribe itself included several clans including Mauri Mazazaces, Mauri Baueres, Mauri Bagoda and Mauri Gentiani.”[37] This statement, in this researcher eyes, reveals that it would have been oxymoron[ic] and hereby protests in antitheses the notion that Moor means black in any sense of the word. It would have been an oxymoron for the Greeks to call these tribes “Mauri Mazazaces, Mauri Baueres, Mauri Bagoda and Mauri Gentiani” as to suggest BLACK MAZAZACES, BLACK BAURES, BLACK BAGODA, AND BLACK GENTIANI without giving such names to signify 'lighter' branches of these tribes annexed to the tribal names. This researcher has found no such proof nor does he ever intend to find any.
6. Their dominion and inhabitation extended from North-East and South-West Africa, across great Atlantis even unto the present North, South, and Central America and also Mexico and the Atlantis Islands; before the great earthquake, which caused the great Atlantic Ocean.
The Moorish presence has been documented by several authors and historians from Ivan Van Sertima who wrote the book They came before Columbus,and Dr. Barry Fell's Saga America, have been excellent sources for detailing the Moorish dominion of the Americas. I will not present all of the finds in this particular note but will assuredly put these finds in the upcoming book that we are compiling on this subject.
The Portuguese found maps and charts in their possession when they first came in contact with them [Arabian Cushites] on the coasts of East Africa, which were original and authentic. Some showed routes extending to the new world long before the age of Columbus. One early Portuguese map, gained from these Arabians marks South America, Western Africa and Southern Europe, as three ancient centers of civilization. The remains of primitive American nations give forth relics, proving ancient Cushite communication. Before the arrival of the Portuguese, Arabian navigators had kept this knowledge secret. With declining Ethiopian power the links of this great chain had been broken to the Americas but they still kept up the ancient lines of trade with the nations peculiarly Cushite, India, Chaldea, South Africa, and Western Europe.” [38]
The Prophet would also speak of Atlantis. He stated “Atlantis is going to rise again.” On this point, I will turn your attention to an authentic manuscript that was written by the Mayans about 3,500 years ago:
“in the year 6 of Kan, the 11 Muluc, in the Month Zrc, terrible earthquakes occurred which continued without interruption until the 13 Chuen. The country of 'the hills of clay,' the Atlantean land, was sacrificed. This land disappeared after two commotions during the night, after being constantly shaken by the subterranean fires, which made the land sink and re-appear various times and in diverse places. Finally, the surface gave in and ten countries had split and disappeared. 64 million of its inhabitants sank 8,000 years before this book was written.”
This is textually quoted from a Mayan manuscript called the Troano. This manuscript can be found in the British museum as part of the Le Plongeon collection and by all accounts, is an authentic manuscript. This manuscript, does for this author, give validity to the accounts as given by Plato on those olden days about the fate of Atlantis. To view the Troano manuscript, Click here.
The priests of the ancient Egyptian provincial capital of Sap-Meh (The Northern Shield, 5th Nome) called Sais by the Greeks, said to the Athenian Solon, in describing the history and antiquity of Atlantis “You Greeks are novices in all the knowledge of antiquity. You are ignorant of what passed here or among yourselves in the days of old. The history of eight thousand years is deposited in our sacred books, but we can ascend to much higher antiquity and tell you what our fathers have done for nine thousand years. I mean their institutions, their laws, and their brilliant accomplishments.”Baldwin points out that neither Solon nor Plato thought this improbable. The Greeks could tell nothing of their progenitors and but little of the Pelasgian race that preceded them in Hellenic lands. "There can be no doubt," says Baldwin, "that the Egyptians preserved old records of the early period of their history extending beyond Menes." This knowledge was lost to our times by the destruction of the Alexandrian library and the fanatical zeal which destroyed all pagan manuscripts”[39]
In the Timæus is a further description of Atlantis, supposedly given to Solon by an Egyptian priest and which concludes as follows: “But afterwards there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and night of rain all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared, and was sunk beneath the sea. And that is the reason why the sea in those parts is impassable and impenetrable, because there is such a quantity of shallow mud in the way; and this was caused by the subsidence of the island.” In the introduction to his translation of the Timæus, Thomas Taylor quotes from a History of Ethiopia written by Marcellus, which contains the following reference to Atlantis: “For they relate that in their time there were seven islands in the Atlantic sea, sacred toProserpine; and besides these, three others of an immense magnitude; one of which was sacred to Pluto, another to Ammon, and another, which is the middle of these, and is of a thousand stadia, to Neptune.” Crantor, commenting upon Plato, asserted that the Egyptian priests declared the story of Atlantis to be written upon pillars which were still preservedcirca 300 B.C. (See Beginnings or Glimpses of Vanished Civilizations.) Ignatius Donnelly, who gave the subject of Atlantis profound study, believed that horses were first domesticated by the Atlanteans, for which reason they have always been considered peculiarly sacred to Poseidon. [40]
Pluto was Osiris. Ammon was Amen-Ra or Cush. The Greeks saw the Maures an eponym to the fabled Atlas. They named the mountain strip that stretches from Morocco to Mauretania, the “Atlas Mountains.” As mentioned earlier, Herodotus called the biggest, fastest, and fiercest of the Maure (Moor) tribes, the Gauletians, (Atlantaeans). These were the heroes of old, those who were found in Egyptian and Hittite inscriptions. These are they whom the Hebrew inscribers gave the eponymous name Ham to. The first part of the Atlantic ocean refers to the “Sea of Atlas” and the term Atlantis refers to “Island of Atlas.” This researcher asserts that, to better understand what happened with our people in the ancient of days, we must understand and rightly interpret the Greek mythologies in full for they are accounts of those ancient Moors, the heroes of old, given a coat of pale paint.
“This overlapping of the genealogy of antiquity shows that these heroes, Bel, Gilgamesh, Melcarth, Hercules, belonged to a common race. Belus (Nimrod), king of Chaldea serves to unite the Chaldeans with the Old Race of the Upper Nile, as does their building the temple of Anu, another name of the original Cushite family. It was, for this reason that Greek and Armenian geographers applied the name of Ethiopia to Media, Persia, Susiana and Aria, or the entire region between the Indus and Tigris in ancient days. The records of the Hebrews connected the Chaldeans, Ethiopians and Egyptians in ties of kinship, and the findings of archaeological and philological research prove those records true. Rawlinson mentions a Cushite inscription found in Susiana, in which there is a date going back nearly to the year 3200 B. C. The language of later Babylon was Semitic but that of the earlier Chaldean monarchy was different, as can be proved by the inscriptions upon the ruins. They are distinctly Hamitic and like the Himyaritic of Southern Arabia.”[41]
“Ur was built at the mouth of the Euphrates. It is now one hundred and fifty miles inland, the Persian Gulf having retired one foot in seventy years. Think to what remote antiquity this assigns Chaldea. The great temple of the moon-god was the oldest in the country. Ra-Zeus-Ammon was considered the sun god. An earlier worship was of the moon. It was of the Soudan. The moon god was considered father of the sun god. Moon worship took precedence over sun worship; but as the Cushite colonies grew stronger the worship of Ammon took precedence. Ammon-Ra was Cush. In the earliest ages the moon was considered king over the lesser rulers. Chaldea was filled with temples of vast size dedicated to Istar and Bel, the Isis and Osiris of Egypt. Istar and Bel are the same exact Gods of the Levant or ancient Canaan. Ur rose to the leadership uniting the principalities of Chaldea. The hypothesis that Babylon was ruled by an Aryan dynasty was strictly contradicted by Berosus and the records disentombed from the ruins. "Aryans," says Lenormant, "at this stage of the world had not yet crossed the great Sargartean desert." Chaldea could not have been Semitic for there was difference in race between Assyria and Babylonia.” [42]
When the sons of Lot, Moab and Ammon, migrated to Canaan, they established the land of Ar which is no doubt the Hebrew corruption of the word Ur which means “fire” in the Chaldean. These were Hamites. The Wolof term for Moor is Nar[43] which is either an original Berber word, or ultimately derived from the Arabic word Nuwr which means fire. Zeus, Jupiter-Ammon and Ham are one and the same and they all derive from a source meaning fervent or sun burnt [44].
7. The River Nile was dredged and made by the ancient Pharaohs of Egypt, in order to trade with the surrounding kingdoms. Also the Niger river was dredged by the great Pharaoh of Egypt in those ancient days for trade, and it extends eastward from the River Nile, westward across the great Atlantic. It was used for trade and transportation.
The natural irrigation of the annual Nile inundations, between what is now July and October, would probably have allowed a single crop season over about two-thirds of the area covered by the flooding river. During the two millennia before the pharaonic ear began (c.a. 3000 B.C.), farmers extended the reach of the river. They built terraced fields along the valley, dredged the natural overflow channels that held floodwater in poinds after the level of the water had receded, dug ditches to breach the low points of natural levees, and lifted water directly from ponds or channels by buckets or some sophisticated method. one of the more important artifacts of pre-Pharaonic Egypt is the romantically named “mace-head of the Scorpion King,” a fragment of limestone sceptor that shows a warrior monarch digging and irrigation ditch with a ceremonial hoe. (The scene is reminiscent of a modern-day photo opportunity with a politician digging up the first spadeful of earth on the foundation of new highway.)[45]
The Egyptians were master engineers. The Nile was diverted from its course to build Memphis. Houston says, based on her research, that “Menes, the warrior priest of Upper Egypt, the older of the two countries, made a change in the channel of the Nile” [46]. Menes may be attributed with the meandering portion of the Nile. No research is yet available on how the Niger was dredged however, we find an interesting correlative from when the Prophet states of the Niger “it extends eastward from the River Nile, westward across the great Atlantic. It was used for trade and transportation.”
One point that had perplexed this writer was when Prophet Drew Ali said that the Niger River “extends eastward from the River Nile, westward across the great Atlantic. It was used for trade and transportation.” I had to ask myself, how can a river stretch across an ocean? I had come to the conclusion that this river obviously extended through the Atlantis Islands but then, I stumbled across an accounting given by Mansa Musa, the great Sultan of Mali. His brother, who was the then sitting Sultan, Abu Bakari, took 3000 ships with him on a venture to the Americas but only one ship came back. Mansa Musa relayed the story like this:
“They went away, and their absence was long: none came back, and their absence continued. Then a single ship returned. We asked its captain of their adventures and their news. He replied: 'Sultan, we sailed for a long while until we met with what seemed to be a river with a strong current flowing in the open sea. My ship was last. The others sailed on, but as each of them came to that place [the river in the sea] they did not come back, nor did they reappear; and I do not know what became of them. As for me, I turned where I was and did not enter that current.'”[47]
This is somewhat corroborated by the testimony of Montuzema as noted in the letters of Hernando Cortez:
“Long time have we been informed by the writings of our ancestors that neither myself nor any of those who inhabit this land are natives of it, but rather strangers who have come to it from foreign parts. We likewise know that from those parts our nation was led by a certain lord (to whom all were subject), remained so long delaying his return that at his coming, those whom he had left had married the woman of the land and had many children by them and had built themselves cities in which they lived, so that they would in no wise return to their own land nor acknowledge him as lord; upon which he left them.”[48]
From this accounting, we are not sure if Abu Bakiri left for the West African coast and did not make it however, the accounts of Montezuma gives credence to the fact that Moors did come from the east.
At this point, it is painfully obvious that Prophet Noble Drew Ali's version of historical events, far surpass that of other historical exegetical accounts as given by Christians, Orthodox Moslems and all of its various Moslem sects, and the Hebrew descendants of Joshua. We are not here verifying our text by what is said eponymously, or by using etiological myths and presenting the correlative historical and archaeological in relation to characters in our text with the exception of Cush and Ham, but we are presenting works by notable scholars who recorded the archaeogenetics of the ruins of the ancient monuments for verity of our religious text and it is upholding 100%.
8. According to all true and divine records of the human race there is no negro, black, or colored race attached to the human family, because all the inhabitants of Africa were and are of the human race, descendants of the ancient Canaanite nation from the holy land of Canaan.
This statement by Prophet Noble Drew Ali was made out of pure reason. First of all, this researcher sees the color of his skin as clearly brown, not black. The skullduggery used by the Europeans will go down in history and be applauded by those seeking to use psychological advantages over other people. They call our Spanish speaking peoples like the Mexicans, Cubans, and even Arabs, whom are light complexioned, as brown people. Most of these peoples complexion resembles that of the Europeans just a few shades darker but not hardly brown. But they call these people brown. Look at your own skin and you can clearly see that it is brown to an olive tone and not black if you are of Moorish Descent. There is no reason why I should call myself a black person. It was the Greeks who first called us “burnt faces” and “the blacks.” there is not one contemporary source of ancient Moors who call themselves or their people a black people. In later times, some Moors of various nations accepted this term as the Greeks themselves had a reverence for these so called “blacks” and viewed them as Gods. Black-a-Moor was an offensive term and it was like saying “Nigger” today. It was the Portuguese whom first called us Negra. This name was used as title of property as it is used today. The “black race” is a creation of a European psychology. By this lone provision, the Europeans rule these mindless people and the world. There is no nation that we descend from called black. On the obverse, the pale skin nations of Europe have taken for themselves the title white. In no way are these people white, they are a palish pinkish, palish orangish color from the lack of melanin making their skin translucent so that we can see their blood. Here is an experiment, take a piece of black paper and hold it to your skin and see if it matches up if indeed you call yourself black. Then take a piece of white paper and hold it next to a European's skin and see if they are white. When your mind deceives you, it matters not what your eyes see. Show me one who is “black of skin” and I will produce a unicorn from out of my fez.
This writer cringes at such statements by some of our brightest scholars such as “black skinned” to describe our race. It lets this researcher know that Greek and Roman academia, which has persisted on till this day, has capped their victory over our branch of this human race. He who wins the war writes the history and they wrote of us as a black skinned people but I challenge all of these so called black and afro-centric scholars, researchers, theologians, archaeologists etc., to produce one contemporary source prior to the Greek and Hellenestic contact with our peoples, who had accepted their designations of blackness for themselves, to produce just one, contemporary source that shows any ancient inscribers speaking of our people as a black skinned people in the singular or the third person. Black has always been associated with death. Out of blackness comes whiteness, purity, that which is worthy of the God(s) which has nothing to do with the pale skin nations of Europe and their skin tone.
Never will you all drown out reason and truth. Reason is the faculty that comes directly from Allah and was anciently depicted anthropomorphically as Tehuti. Truth is Allah and that which we Moorish Americans call Aught and the Holy Breath (the triune Allah). Truth is the only thing in all of the worlds that changes not.
Conclusion
It has given me great pleasure and esteem to be able to touch on this subject and expound on it in the great detail of which I have undertaken above. The pleasure comes from knowing that I have presented the truth to the people based on my doctrine which can be corroborated by historians and gnostics alike. When I was a 5%er, and eventually a Nuwuabian, I could not with verity nor surety back up my doctrine with claims pertaining to anything historical in relation to my doctrines at those times. My arguments were purely dogmatic based upon myth, theory, and conjecture.
There are still several points of my doctrine that I am still researching like the name Amexem and if there is any documentation of the Pharaohs ceding land over to the Moabites and early Canaanites. I am currently reviewing the Armana letters intensely and welcome all who may want to expound on this research, to share their findings with me and my staff and/or offer their points of contention.
I leave you all in LOVE TRUTH PEACE FREEDOM AND JUSTICE.
