Dear Ron Dunson,
Cleopatra's Needle - Central Park - New York City
As we celebrate Black History Month and reflect upon
Cleopatra's Needle, the fact that such a monumental
shrine of our African
heritage could be located just a
stone's throw from the world's largest Black Metropolis
outside of Africa, Harlem, New York City, New York, and
more than 99 percent of the entire population of
African-Americans in it do not know that their
own "Black and beautiful" sister's Obelisk stands in
Central Park, which connects to Harlem, is a
catastrophic event in the African-American life which
we may never live down. This shrine, equally that of
Harriet Tubman at upstate New York; Frederick
Douglass in Washington D.C.; Alexander Hamilton in
Harlem, New York City; and all other related to the
Black Experience in the United States of America,
should be common-place names and historical
biographies upon the tongue of each and every African-
American man, woman, and child.
On each side of each pyramidion (top triangle of the
obelisk), Tuthmosis III is drawn as a "sphinx" making
offerings to the Gods of Heliopolis. On each side of the
obelisk are inscribed with hieroglyph of three columns.
The central column is carved by Tuthmosis III, and
subsidiary columns both sides are added by Ramses II.
Although the hieroglyph is almost impossible to read it
due to the heavy damage, it is said the central column
states "the pyramidion illuminates the town of
Heliopolis".
It's strange that the two obelisks which are currently
in London and New York are dubbed "Cleopatra's
Needle". It's some twenty years after Cleopatra's death
that these two obelisks were transported and erected
in Alexsandria. Therefore there is no direct relation
between Cleopatra and the obelisks, although she may
have conceived to transport them to Alexsandria during
her lifetime. The Egyptologist Labib Habachi says "More
probably, her name was merely attached to them in a
romantic fashon, just as there are in Alexandria, Mersa
Matruh, and Aswan places called "the bath of
Cleopatra", although there is no evidence that the
queen ever bathed there." (Source: "The Obelisk of
Egypt" by Labib Habachi, 1977 Charles Scribner's Sons)
Therefore somebody would dub a romantic
nickname "Cleopatra's Needle", but this was already
called when it was in Alexandria.

Pharaoh Menes (3100 B.C.) |

It is important to note for your reference that the
preceding and following information was taken from
Africa: Mother of Western Civilization, 1971, Dr. Yosef
ben-Jochannan; Stolen Legacy, Prof. George G.M.
James, New York Philosophical Society, New York,
1954; Book of the Dead, Sir Earnest A. Wallis Budge,

Menes conquered the Asians in Northern Egypt in a
series of long drawn-out wars and took over the whole
huge area from the Mediterranean Sea south to the
source of the Nile River. He built and established the
city of Memphis as the capital. Memphis, named in
honor of Menes, was described by travelers as being so
vast that ". . . it stretched a day's journey in every
direction." It was also called "The City-Which-Binds-
The-Two-Lands-Together."
Black Southern Egypt, with its principal ancient city of
Thebes had been civilized for thousands of years before
the unification. As history records, not only was the
center of civilization, but the oldest of all cities of the
world. This was the center of Black civilization. Thebes
was called various glorifying names, such as "The City
Beautiful" and "The City of a Hundred Gates." Its
avenues lined with sphinxes, temples, palaces, and
monuments could "accommodate the colorful array of
twenty chariots abreast."
This huge land was called Kimit during those days
until the Greek occupation 4,800 years later in, 332
B.C. The word Kimit means "the land of the Blacks."
Menes and the people described themselves as "coal
black." "Kimit" (KMT) written in its hieroglyphic form
was represented by a block of wood charred black on
one end.
Menes ruled Kimit for sixty-two years and established
a system of government which forged a united empire
that lasted without serious challenge for a thousand
years.

Pharaoh Zoser (3rd Dynasty 2870-2680 BC) IMHOTEP-Architect |
|
The first Black African Pharaoh of the Third Dynasty
2780 BC, Djoser (the Greeks called Zozer) was the first
of the major pyramid builders. He was joined by a
southerner named Imhotep - architect, physician, prime
minister, poet, historian, fabulist, etc., etc., the one
who designed and built the first Step Pyramid at
Sakhara (Greek called Saqqara). Imhotep and Djoser
introduced the Great Pyramid Age that lasted until 2565
BC, ending with the death of Pharaoh Khafra (called
Chephren by the Greeks); all of this having begun and
ended more than 890 years before the first foreigners
arrived into Alkebu-lan (Africa) since Pharaoh Menes
from Asia - people called Hyksos casting some
questions about the biblical account of the two Romiti
(Black Ancient Egyptians) Ramses II and Moses slaves
laboring over the Pyramids during Ramses II reign 1298-
1232 BC. It should also be noted that Ramses II and
Moses were indigenous Black Africans born raised and
taught by the priests of the grand lodges in Africa
established 2685 BC.
"Imhotep" is a name which means "He who comes in
peace." He is considered by many historians as the
world's first multi-genius. He was revered in the ancient
world as a poet, philosopher, physician, and
astronomer. But he is best remembered as the creator
of the first pyramid, the step pyramid, which after
4,700 years still stands near the Nile River at a town
called Saqqara.
Imhotep was the prime minister and chief scribe of the
Pharaoh Zoser. The pyramid was erected for the
Pharaoh. This pyramid was the first man-made
structure that used hewn stone as the building material
and Imhotep is credited as the "inventor of the art of
building with stone."
Imhotep was also the world's first scientific man of
medicine. He is credited with recording more than five
hundred cures for illnesses. More than 2,000 years
after his death, a Greek physician named Hippocrates,
after studying his cures and methods, gave Imhotep
the name of the god of medicine "Asclepias," and
placed him within the Hippocratic oath. The Greeks,
after learning much from the Africans in many fields of
learning told the world that they, the Greeks, were the
originators of everything. They called Hippocrates
the "Father of Medicine," even though he was born
2,000 years after Imhotep. In his book Evolution of
Modern
Medicine, Sir William Osler refers to Imhotep as "the
first figure of a physician to stand out clearly from the
mists of antiquity." His images graced the first Temple
of Imhotep, mankind's first hospital. Sufferers from all
the world for peace, prayer, and healing came to this
hospital.

Pharaoh Khufu (2642 B.C.-2573 B.C.) |
|
When Pharaoh Khufu ascended the Romiti (Egyptian)
throne in 2606 B.C. he immediately gave the command
to prepare the grandest burial place in all of history. A
choice site on the Giza plateau was selected, and work
began. When it was finished some twenty-three years
later, it became the first of the Seven Wonders of the
World, and the only one that remains today.
A small ivory statuette of Pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth
Dynasty, his only surviving image, shows his majestic
African features. He was called "Cheops" by the Greeks.
He had to bring into the construction the knowledge of
mathematics bequeathed to his generation by the
astronomer-priestesses of the century before.
While the pyramid had been thought to be Khufu's
burial site, no body was ever discovered within the
pyramid. A small granite slab was discovered in the
pyramid, which became the basis for the metric
system. It measured one-ten-millionth of the distance
from the North Pole to the Equator, and today that
length is called the meter, that basis of the metric
sysem. The French astronomer, Abbe Thomas Moreaux
in his book, The Mysterious Science of the Pharaohs,
argues that the Great Pyramid serves as a huge
calculator of astronomical and mathematical data.
The pyramid consists of 2,300,000 granite monoliths,
weighing two and a half tons or more rising to a height
of forty-eight stories and covering thirteen square city
blocks. The granite stones were cut with such
meticulous care that each fits into the other requiring
only paper-thin mortar to hold them in place for nearly
five thousand years. Dr. Elmer Robinson, a John Hopkins
University mathematician, says that the mathematical
knowledge expressed has not been surpassed in the
past two hundred years. The pyramid's original casing
consisted of eight feet thick polished limestone that
glittered so brightly in the sun that it could be seen
twenty miles away. This beautiful

Historical Distortions "being kind" - Hannibal Barca |
|
Thanks to the work of Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan, Prof.
G.M.James and many others, the major distortions of
Ancient
Black History have been exposed. Most of the historical
information written about Africa has been greatly
distorted by European and European American
historians and are reflected in the institutions of higher
learning in the respective colleges and universities of
their countries. In their vain attempts to prove the
inferiority of Blacks, they have done much to prove
the endurance and superiority of Blacks and rightfully
so being the stock from which all mankind evolved.
Slavery and distortions were about
economics. How else can one explain European and
European Americans coming to Africa in the 1500's to
bring Christianity to a people that gave them religion
and were among the first Christians 30-232 AD. One
finds in the Book of Act 8: 26-40 the biblical reference
to the African from Ethiopia who became a Christian
before any European did. There where two
branches of sects "...followers of the Master, Jesus
Christ," that became the nucleus of today's Christianity
and Christendom. The oldest of the two was composed
of indigenous Africans of Egypt who spoke a local
African language and also a mixed African-European
(Egyptian-Greek) language called "Coptic" (Africa, The
Mother of Western Civilization, Yosef ben-Jochannan,
1971 p. 647. See also article
on African Christianity in this newsletter).
The "Pearl of North Africa", a name which the ancients
called the glorious nation of Africans
called "Carthaginians" who were in fact "Khart
Haddans", is best seen in its reconstruction (Africa,
The Mother of Western Civilization, Jochannan, p.547)
when it was once known as "The Greatest Metropolis
Ever Created by Man". This was the City-Statge of
Carthage during the period from 600-350 BC.
Note the likeness of General Hannibal Barca, shown
above, was photographed from the one side of a coin
used in Carthage during his lifetime. Looking at the
photo to
the right taken from an inquiry on Yahoo.com, why is
he projected as a "Caucasian" much as we see of most
Ancient Egyptians, Seti I, Ramses II, Cleopatra? One
would think that the Discovery Channel, European and
European American
influences, institutional educators, and those that
control the media would have to share responsibility for
these distortions. General Hannibal Barca was the son
of an
equally famous father - the commander of Carthaginian
forces during the First Punic Wars, General Hamiclair
Barca in 238 BC. At this time in his life the younger
Hannibal
was 24 years of age, having been born in the year 262
BC
of both indigenous African parents.

Cleopatra (69 B.C.E.-30 B.C.) |
|
Cleopatra, one of many Cleopatras, born sixty-nine
years before the birth of Christ to General Ptolemy XII,
was the only Cleopatra to ascend the Egyptian throne.
General Ptolemy married an Egyptian princess so that
his child could ascend the Egyptian throne according to
Egyptian law. Thus Cleopatra was African and Asian.
She ascended the throne after her father's death in 51
B.C., and was the first and last of her dynasty to speak
Egyptian.
Cleopatra was on the throne only two years when she
was dethroned by the guardians of her younger
brother, Ptolemy XIII. But Gaius Julius Caesar, who had
fallen in love with this beautiful Black queen, used the
might of his army to restore her to the throne. Her
relationship with Caesar continued at such a romantic
pace that she accepted his invitation to come to Rome
where she stayed with Caesar until his murder in 44
B.C.
Cleopatra's Needle is the name given to three huge,
inscribed, stone pillars called obelisks, all more than
three thousand years old, one of which stands now in
Central Park in New York City.

GreeK Philosophy is African Philosophy |
|
|
It should be noted that Herodotus spent enough time
traveling along the Nile Valleys to know the people with
whom he lived and received his education from that he
could have described them with pin-point accuracy,
which he did in the following manner in his work
Histories: "THE COLCHIANS, EGYPTIANS AND
ETHIOPIANS HAVE THICK LIPS, BROAD NOSE, WOLLEY
HAIR, AND THEY ARE BURNT OF SKIN". This is about
450 BC, prior to the conquest of Kimit (Egypt) by the
Greeks or Romans. The Romiti (Ancient Eyptians) had
established 21 Lodges throughout their empire, a list of
which can be found in the chronology link above in this
newsletter.
For much of what is today called "EUROPEAN HISTORY"
just as in the case of "GREEK PHILOSOPHY", is only
what Professor George G.M. James so adequately terms
the..."STOLEN LEGACY."
DIODORUS (Greek scholar) and MANETHO (High-Priest
during the Greeks' colonial rule of Egypt) recorded that
the philosophic "teachings" of the Africans of Egypt
were written on columns etc. And, these columns were
found as far off as Nyasa, Arabia. In the inscriptions of
one of these columns were the images of the Goddess
Isis and the God OSIRIS. On the column of the God
OSIRIS the inscription revealed that he: " ...LED AN
ARMY INTO INDIA, TO THE SOURCE OF THE GANGES,
AND AS FAR AS THE INDUS OCEAN."
There could be no doubt that the Africans of the
Egyptian (Kimit) empire and Mysteries System (at a
very early date in history) included not only the islands
off the Aegean Sea and Ionia (around today's Middle-
East) but they also stretched to certain extremities of
the Asian FAR-EAST.
The historical account in the above paragraph was not
the only one in which the ancient indigenous Africans
(labeled "Negroes" and other such stereotyped terms)
are shown to have conquered all the way to India, and
probably much further east. In 1900 B.C.E., during the
XIIth Dynasty (2000- 1785 B.C.E.), Pharoah Senurset I
conquered the coastline of India up to, and beyond,
the Ganges River and to the Eastern Ocean (Indus or
Indian Ocean). There in India, he left thousands of
indigenous African soldiers, just as General Ganges (the
Ethiopian for whom this river was named) did.
The Roman Emperor Justinian, whose EDICT closed the
African's of Egypt Mysteries System and Philosophical
Schools in Egypt and Greece, also plunged all of Europe
into utter ignorance for more than ten centuries. At the
same instance it allowed the Greeks to maintain total
control over all of the data they seized from the
Mysteries' repositories in UPPER and LOWER Egypt. It
also gave them added opportunity to rewrite, and
otherwise plagiarize, the Africans' works -which
included among other disciplines -PHILOSOPHY.

Africans Among First Christians |
|
|
Saint Cyprian and Saint Augustine, as well as
Tertullian, "Fathers of the (Christian) Church" were
indigenous Black Africans whose birth places were in
Numidia and Carthage respectively. Dr. Yosef ben-
Jochannan works show Christendom to have existed
first all over north, northeast and east Africa before its
arrival in southern Europe by way of Greece and Rome;
and that it all got its institutionalized beginnings in Kimit
(Egypt) among the Africa bishops of the early Church,
when Jesus Christ was still the "fallen Leader" and not
yet declared "God", and His Church was still
the "Brethren."
In its own historical pronouncement and writings, the
Church of Rome stated: "On July 19, AD 180 Felicitas,
and Perpetua Were Martyred by the soldiers of Emperor
Septimus." This is strange because the African Emperor
mounted in his throne in AD 193, thirteen long years
after the martyrdom of Namphanmo, Felicitas, and
Perpetua, all three of whom were allegedly; "The First
Christian Martyrs".
They were all indigenous Black Africans as the Emperor
himself; all four being of Carthaginian birth.
