How many of you out there are Christians? If we examine Black History (let's go back to Egypt) we will see where many of the popular religious beliefs (on which this country is founded) originate... There is evidence out there that Christianity developed from Egyptian (Afrikan) practices and beliefs.
Akhenaten (also known as Amenhotep IV)
His wife was the famous and fabled Nefertiti. During his reign -- great strides were made in the arts, literature, and religion. He is best known as the "founder" (if you will) of Monotheism (worship of one God). The changes he made to the polytheistic religous practices of ancient Egypt were revolutionary, though short lived.
Suceeding his reign, the reforms he made to religion in Egypt were nearly forgotten...
Monotheism, in the form Akhenaten originally introduced, can be later noted in religous practices including belief in a trinity/triune God (Re, Ptah, & Amen).
It is the opinion of some (**MAJOR controversy**) that Eurocentric Christianity is a direct descendant of the Egyptian Monotheism religion implemented by Akhenaten over 3,500 years ago (approximately 1,500 years before Biblical Jesus Christ was born) ...
This post is getting lengthy -- but there is soooo much more y'all.
We have such a rich history/heritage -- not only here in America.
We originate from a GREAT and lengthy line of people. I am brought to a peak in emotion anytime I begin to reflect on the history of my people. There is so much out there that we don't know. So many lies we have consumed... I am welling up with tears -- I will cut this short.
Question EVERYTHING -- you will never know until you ask.
P.S. Does anyone know where I can BUY a copy of "The Browder File..." by Anthony Browder??
