lost secrets of Archimedes recycled
“The term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence. The Ancient Egyptians [Kemetians] had developed a very complex religious system, called the Mysteries, which was also the first system of salvation . . . After nearly five thousand years of prohibition against the Greeks, they were permitted to enter Egypt [Kemet] for the purpose of their education [in four year installments!]. First through the Persian invasion and secondly through the invasion of Alexander the Great. From the sixth centrury B.C. therefore to the death of Aristotle (322 B.C.) the Greeks made the best of their chance to learn all they could about Egyptian [Kemetik] culture . . .”
-Prof. George G.M. James (from his book “Stolen Legacy”)
“Humankind born around East Africa’s Great Lakes region, almost on the Equator, is necessarily pigmented and Black; the Gloger Law calls for warm-blooded animals to be pigmented in a hot and humid climate. All the other races derive from the Black race by a more or less direct filiation, and the other continents were populated from Africa at the Homo erectus and Homo sapiens stages, 150,000 years ago. The old theories that used to state that Blacks came from somewhere else are now invalid.”

did anyone even care
how offensive it was to many of us
to have Elizabeth Taylor’s image used to depict CleopatRa?
does anyone care?
black spaces
in white history
are always places
of much despair
will anyone in the west
ever make it clear
what was between
the (white)Archimedes/(black)Eratosthenes’ letters?
and why would the genius of Archimedes
be allowed heartless, mindless slaughter
by a mere Roman soldier?
his palimpsests were not his documents being recycled –
they were his truths being erased by religious/racist ill-will
true progress, respect, and education
does not lead to secrecy and desecration
myth, mysteries, and lies
always used to pull wool over our eyes
it is
our current fate
that we are truly being ruled
by a planet of apes

I’m grateful you made the post. It’s cleared the air for me.
