  1. What Does the Deer Have in Common with Humans? More About Solomon Was Solomon Black? Part II Mt. Hermon This is part II of an earlier research about the Book of SONG OF SOLOMON. This song written by Solomon also included the written account of the maiden, the Black skinned virgin. This canticle authored by Solomon and this maiden was so incredible that, obviously, the priesthood had it published to become part of the Holy Bible. So, in order to even understand a little of the genius of Solomon, there needs to be some background history to also consider. First of all, as revealed later in this very book, the maiden that also wrote her assessment of Solomon, of whom she clearly loved intensely, wrote later in time and she wrote from her memory about the days in how Solomon pursued her and how, in turn, she responded to his advances. But before the story of this song began, however, as revealed later in the book of SONG OF SOLOMON [i.e., SONG OF SONGS], Solomon first came to know about this girl much earlier because she was the very virgin that was found and brought into the bedroom of David, the king of Israel, to be a nurse. So, in the SONG OF SOLOMON 6:13, and in the Cambridge Concordance of this scripture, it has been revealed that this Black girl was the very same Shulamite virgin [i.e., Shunammite], named Abishag. More importantly too, after the death of David, she became the very wife of Solomon and not only did Solomon pursue her intensely but, Solomon gave her such an incredible and extravagant audience, whereby the people gazed upon an extraordinary event of Solomon and Abishag, so much so that this event continued to be in the minds of many people for years to come. Furthermore, this awe-inspiring extravaganza that culminated in a banquet hall and that was captured in the writing became so popular that it would also become the very modern-day back story of Cinderella. Just as part of the story in the fairytale of Cinderella included too, the presence of some oppressive relations had been written about in the book SONG OF SOLOMON. The virgin Abishag gave her account of how her relatives had oppressed and made her work for others under the intensity of the sun to the point in which she became darkened to become very black skinned. However, what many Black Christians have not been able to understand was that not only was this girl black skinned, but Solomon reveals in this very book in the Holy Bible that he too was just as black as she had been. Furthermore, this song includes the presence of the deer that explains an important theme of this book. Part of the confusion about this book in the bible has to do with the very first chapter and the many mistranslations in order to thwart the very message of Colorism. In the King James Version, the message becomes obvious because the maiden’s skin color has been anchored with, not one, but two metaphors, nevertheless, this scripture has been blatantly blasphemed by many authors and of other mistranslations. In some renditions the entire verse has been changed from the girl becoming completely ‘black skinned due to the sun’ to being only ‘tanned skinned’ or ‘dark skinned’ of which introduces confusion as to the true connection to her being African typed. The black skin of the maiden has been compared, not only to ‘the tents of Kedar’ but also to ‘the curtains of Solomon’, nevertheless, many other translations have completely extracted these metaphors in order to introduce White Supremacy and Colorism, the very message conveyed in the entire book by Solomon! In the very first scriptures, the story introduces that the maiden has been oppressed due to issues of Colorism and this message connects the entire book as it relates to the future prophecy of Israel and the coming of the ‘greatest beloved’ and the perfection of the temple and the Church of God. Therefore, if this metaphor of the black skinned virgin has been debauched, then the rest of the mistranslations of this book should become obvious and discarded especially because, Solomon later writes in depth about this maidens’ other physical qualities that connect to the traits of her being ethnic and therefore, these scriptures also become ridiculously mistranslated with the attempt to blot out the distinct ethnicity of the Original Israelites that Solomon indeed outlines in his book. This revelation that Solomon made about himself has been, mostly, completely missed because many Black Christians today are not taught in the Church about the reality of the issue of Colorism in any association with a creator. It has been a taboo subject due to the works of the Anti-Christ but captured right in the book of SONG OF SOLOMON, amazingly and with an ingenious approach, the author Solomon deals with this forbidden subject and anchors it with a scientific aspect. However too, the scripts have been sealed up for a time. Therefore, many Black Christians do not realize the brilliance in Solomon in how he not only wrote about the reality of Colorism as it was part of the Israelites communities but, he also sealed up the scriptures in order to confirm deep truths even amidst the adversary’s attempt to suppress the truth. And one main reason that Solomon may have had a deep insight into this kind of oppression was that he knew about it firsthand. Solomon was, not only the son of a very wise king that dealt with Colorism, but Solomon also became a very wise king and prophet himself. And so, when David, the king of Israel became old and his body could not keep heat, according to scripture, a party was organized to seek a young virgin to be able to warm the body of David as he slept. Therefore, it seems apparent that some of the kings’ sons, such as Solomon, may have been part of this entourage of men that went about the country to look for a young Israelite virgin and this would be the background story of how Abishag came to meet Solomon. Therefore, Solomon was obviously part of a group of Israelite shepherds assigned to that region in Lebanon, near to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, in a country called Sharon and these men struck their tents and kept their flocks for a season. So, the co-author in SONG OF SOLOMON, Abishag gives her account of those early days when she first saw Solomon rise to become the king of Israel: 7] Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions? [8] If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:7-8. Verse 7 and 8 tells of the maiden going out and getting the nerves up to meet the shepherd of her desire, Solomon, and then he welcomes her advances: [12] While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:12. [4] He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. SONG OF SOLOMON 1:4. She refers to Solomon as ‘a king’ of which implies that he now has become the king! She has been welcomed into his realm and she sits at a banquet table and describes how she has been perfumed and made an appeal to the king. She blushes in her description of how Solomon gave her all of his attention. [1] I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:1. [2] As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. [3] As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:2-3. Eventually, the poem shows that there are at least two authors, the couple, and the scriptural verses are like ‘quotes’ in that they trade verses and express how they feel about each other. In verse one of chapter two (2), Abishag replies that she ‘is the rose of Sharon’ and this quality that she reveals was one major personality trait that Solomon writes made him attracted to her. The maiden basically reaches out to him and shares with him how she has been oppressed but then she toughens up and tells him how she feels about the mistreatment of being spawned because she’s black skinned. She tells Solomon that she has confidence in herself and with boldness, she describes herself as ‘the rose of Sharon’ no matter what her relatives thought of her. And so, Solomon heard her defense loud and clear! He then writes vividly and from a male’s point-of-view that he agrees with her and throughout this poetic song, Solomon describes her as being a perfect creation. Astonishingly, Solomon interweaved his love and also, the consummation of their union, and equated this union to the very consummation of the temple of God and the prophecy of the coming of Jesus Christ, of whom Solomon defines as being the Greatest [i.e., chiefest] Beloved. Solomon wrote this song when he was older and writes about the issue of Colorism that was not only an affliction in Israel, but it had been a contentious issue in the African world for hundreds and thousands of years as well. However, Solomon also wrote about the surprise behavior of his own mother and the selfish nature of iniquity that did pervade in many Black women too. Ironically, the negative reaction that his own mother exhibited against the young maiden shocked Solomon. Because Bathsheba took the opportunity with an attempt to dominate over her son from a matriarchal position and she gave out a decree that was almost like, a death sentence for the young maiden Abishag. Therefore, Solomon intervened to save her life. Bathsheba was earlier approached by Solomon’s older brother who had an hidden agenda against both Solomon and Bathsheba, but he flattered Bathsheba in his attempt to undermine his younger brother Solomon. Due to the petition put forth by Solomon’s brother, Adonijah, therefore, the Queen of Israel, Bathsheba, ordered Solomon to give the black girl to Adonijah and thus, throw the virgin’s life away as if she had no human value, like enslavement. But afterwards, Solomon approached this maiden with respect and courtship and, she made her own choices. Abishag loved Solomon all the more: [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [8] The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. [9] My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. [10] My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:7-10. Solomon pursued that girl intensely and she fell for him completely. In the previous verses, she writes about this pursuit and courtship and further writes about how Solomon came to visit her in her mother’s house. She writes about how the other shepherds were with him and were his bodyguards. She writes about how Solomon came to her house, and she gazed upon him as he appeared through the lattice. She writes later about how the other shepherds stood post as Solomon came inside of her house and also at his dwelling places, in his chambers and in his palace. She writes how Solomon fell asleep in her mother’s house at one visit, as the warriors stood post all night as bodyguards. Ah! Solomon bedazzled her! Most importantly, these scriptures in Chapter two begin to introduce how the science and nature of ‘the deer family’ has been intertwined in the song to define the identity of Solomon. The ‘roe’ mentioned would be a deer, male or female, however, ‘the hart’ would be a mature male dear about five (5) years old and the next verses show how the male and female has matured and now the time became ripe to take the relationship to another level: [11] For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; [12] The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; [13] The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:11-13. Mt Hermon [8] Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. SONG OF SOLOMON 4:8. Now, in the following chapters and throughout the rest of the book, a repetition of the mature female deer, the hind [i.e., also Doe, or Roe deer] and the mature male deer, the hart [i.e., buck, Roe, Roebuck, or stag] defines the presence and identity of the couple. More strategically would be the deeper reason tied to science as to the revelation of why the deer was equated to reveal more about the physical identity of couple. Repeatedly throughout the book the verses reveal details about the ROE DEER FAMILY and applies it to several scriptures: [7] I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. [16] My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. [17] Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. SONG OF SOLOMON 2:7, 16-17. [5] Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. [9] Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. SONG OF SOLOMON 4:5, 9. Fawn Twins *****My Note: The two twin fawns, male and female, are in the field together; they feed together [3] I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies. SONG OF SOLOMON 6:3. More and more depth become added to the story, more and more information has been given to reveal the deeper message about the couple in correlation to the science and nature of the male and female roe deer. Therefore, in verse six (6) “he feedeth among the lilies”, further defines the theme as it adds to earlier verses. So, the verse in Chapter four (4) and verse five (5) ‘two young roes that are twins which feed amongst the lilies’ carries a dual theme and the phrase ‘feedeth among the lilies’ becomes a repetitive aspect to reenforce the deeper meaning. One theme would be the continued description of physical attributes of the maiden’s body, namely her breasts and another theme become an analogy. Again, this key verse becomes repeated and added to it for more definition. So, the verses, ‘two young roes that are twins’ and ‘be thou like a roe or a young hart now, reveals more in that one of the twin roes would be equated to the very beloved as a young hart that also feeds amongst the lilies! Therefore, what has been revealed would be that Solomon’s identity would be as ‘a twin’ to the maiden’s identity! Solomon’s maternal origins come from the same ethnic foundation as the maiden, and of which gave him the same black skin as well. To feed amongst the lilies, therefore, refers to Solomon being nurtured from the same origin! Both of the two young roes, the hind and the hart, were twins that fed amongst the lilies. This revelation would also support why, indeed, this young black girl was chosen to be the nurse for Solomon’s very father! And the scriptures also reveal that the people of Israel received this union and the Black beauty, Abishag, in a very positive light. And so, to enhance this revelation of Solomon’s physical appearance as being the same as the maiden’s therefore, Solomon begins to write and refer to her as “my sister”. Moreso, the turning verse comes in the last chapter eight (8) when Abishag adds a confirmation: [1] O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised. SONG OF SOLOMON 8:1. The maiden refers to Solomon as being like her brother and confirms the earlier message; ‘O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breast of my mother!’ She conveys that because Solomon was not her actual brother, other young girls (young hinds of the field) were jealous of her because of the attention she had gotten from Solomon, however, in this very verse, she likens Solomon’s physical appearance to her brother! So then, the deeper theme of the entire book revolves around the maternal origins of the couple that becomes a vital aspect in the building of the kingdom of Israel and of the temple of God. So, the verses about the roe deer completely connects the theme in this book in relation to the physical identity of the couple that also connects Solomon, the king of Israel to his maternal origin. Therefore, the pivotal point would be when the maiden refers Solomon to being ‘as her brother that sucks from the breast of her mother’ and the further revelation about the science of the deer family expounds upon this theme in the association of the couple being as twins. Because of the anatomy of the double uteri of the female hind, she mostly always gives birth to fraternal twins, one being a male and the other a female. This would be a scientific observance that has been known for thousands and thousands of years. To my surprise, I myself did witness this site, two subadult deer feeding together and at the time, I was amazed to see the little antlers of one but not of the other and after research, I understand! However, another astonishing aspect of the deer in comparison to human reproduction would be that it also corresponds to an additional scientific aspect in how the deer reproduction of twins correlates to very early modern human reproductive patterns. Like the roe deer, and in some human cultures, twinning becomes a common genetic factor. In certain cultures, like the Yoruba of North Africa, some cultures in India and even in a strand of Hebrew Israelites, etc., twinning was common and connects to a genetic reproductive pattern of early mankind for some particular reasons. So, this subject about twins opens the door to more biblical scriptures that reveal unique aspects about twinning. However, at rare times due to the diet and climate, a roe deer can give birth to just one, three or even more rare, some have been known to give birth to as much as five fawns at one time. Another rare event would be that a doe can also give birth to fraternal twins of the same sex. Nevertheless, in nature, a doe mostly always gives birth in the springtime to fraternal twins of both genders. Mama and her piebald fawns When it comes to white-tailed deer, twins are the norm. Deer have a two-horned uterus which allows the bearing of twins quite easily, said Jeannine Fleegle, deer and elk biologist with the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Since they are from separate eggs, they are fraternal, not identical, twins. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/outdoors/2021/05/14/white-tailed-deer-fawns-born-across-wisconsin-spring/5080536001/ [5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. Song of Solomon 1:5. ************ As the curtains of Solomon! ************ Lastly, upon a deeper understanding of the book of SONGS OF SOLOMON as a whole, and going back to the beginning, it should now become clear of the deeper meaning of the phrases, ‘as the tents of Kedar’ and also, ‘as the curtains of Solomon’. The words, ‘tent’ and ‘curtain’ in context refers to ‘genetics and reproduction’ and symbolizes a culture of people, the womb and coming through the birth canal. In another earlier scripture in GENESIS 9:27, the phrase ‘God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; …’ likewise, refers to reproduction of which the ancient Cleomene Egyptians are one of many distinct kinds of Egyptian-typed people that do show this kind of Khety and Semitic admixture of genetic history. And so, the reference to the maiden being as ‘black as the tents of Kedar’ has a popular definition of being like the tents used by an ancient people known as the Kedarites and this may be true, however, the scriptures actually refer to the phenotypic trait of most of the Kedarite people. They were a people known to be very black. Therefore, now the phrase ‘as black as the curtains of Solomon’ should be obvious. The word choice ‘curtain’ refers to ‘genetics’ too, however, it would reflect a more streamlined revelation and not the whole Israelite people but just one aspect. Expressly though, this revelation about Solomon does not equate to the Original Israelite people not being African-typed. However, as the Israelite people had a problem with issues of Colorism revealed in the very book, then the word ‘curtain’ refers to one unique trait about of Solomon, that of his maternal origins. Ultimately then, Solomons mother’s people and his grandfather Ammiel, were a predominantly black skinned people of that region in the Mediterranean world. Cont. part III conclusion. Mt Carmel, Lebanon [5] Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries. SONG OF SOLOMON 7:5. [2] It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. ISAIAH 35:2.
  2. I don't think I have any of these qualities. I wish I did though. I am a dreamer, but I think, that is a problem. I don't know how to take the dream to a level of reality to wish I can gain from it. nice post though. Food for thought.
  3. Ha! I think you hit it dead on the head! @richardmurray!!! And you're right, many people may have taken this tactic to push the film so, it gets out there and it seen and generates a lot of money. I think too, that the true history behind the film may now resurface and that might be a good thing! According to Lupita, even though she played in Black Panther and new very well, the women warriors were based off these warrior women, she said that she did not know much about them until she travelled there to do the research, and it blew her mind! For her to see and film some of the true facts about them is just amazing. To see, first hand, the statues and collections of skulls of decapitated victims, is unbelievable to me. This movie means more than one aspect to different people, imo. I like the fact that it is causing the true history to surface!
  4. Yes, this is my worries. They might be making a public example out of her both in Russia and here. If they are, that is so NOT fair. To jail her for 9 years for marijuana is just unbelievable. It's so inhuman. Exactly. We've been set up and many of us don't even realize it.
  5. @Pioneer1 Yes, I graduated from high school in San Diego. My high school was very large and spread out like a college campus and the Black students were the minority, however, they were well known. My senior class was the smallest at 762 students, so if you can imagine, it was a huge school. I was so young back then and did not really realize the history of Black people in California, but now, I am very surprised to learn about it. There was definitely a lot of racism out there. I was so surprise to hear about the LA gangs and the late Nipsey Hussel's life. I just recently saw a short film on Compton, although I don't know if it's California or somewhere else. When I lived there, I heard a lot about Black people in Oregon and Washington State too. I loved the experience, but like a lot of Black people and my friends, we used to always talk about the east coast! Most of us wanted to moved back to the east coast. Sound crazy sometimes to me, but it's true. The music, the hairstyles, and many other products that became popular did not become part of San Diego until like, months later. If a song broke out in Washinton D.C. or North Carolina, then we didn't hear it until like, 3 months later. It would be old news by the time we got it. That's why I am so amazed at the rappers and etc. today, who became famous. It's so weird to me. Me either. True @ProfD Wasn't the Watt's riot out there in California? That's right! Tupac! Yes, partly true. But I grew and was part of Black communities. Like, East Diego was where a lot of Black communities were located, you know, literally cross the tracks. Ha! Did you hear about this!?

  6. Thank you for posting this video, @Mel Hopkins, it was spellbounding! I was so caught up into it. Lupita is so lovely. The women were so so so beautiful! One of the women, the Agoutie woman warrior, had eyes like the late Mandela, in fact, the photos, seems to show this trait, and this strikes me and leads me to believe that some of these people are from the east world. The leopard idols and the skulls, and the headhunting expeditions, seems to match other ancient warrior civilizations, such as the ancient Maya too and in the Old Mediterranean Baal cults. Yes all that we can do is speculate as to why Lupita pulled out of it unless she says something. However, for her to go to Benin and produce this amazing film and then pull out, does seem like she may have pulled out for something about the truth. LOL! You're so rightt! However, that's me. I loved the film Black Panther, so much so, I bought the dvd. But I did not like some of the women warrior scenes nor did I like some of the fight scenes of the males either. I still don't have any opinions one way or the other about the Women King movie. I agree with the summaries given though, in the documentary and what you said, in that the Aguojie warrior women were both victims and warriors. I think that many of them were forced into it and as Lupita said, too, I think I probably would have been dragged into it because I am not a submissive person, and so, I would have been sought out and forced into it, I believe. Yes, @richardmurray maybe. You may be right because I don't have a problem with viola or the film, I just wondering now, what the hype is about.
  7. Brittany Griner's Appeal; Will She Be Freed? I wonder if the recent news coverage are published to help keep Brittaney Griner on the front page in hopes to get enough attention so that the Russians will free her through some type of prison swap. Her appeal is up and coming on October 25. She was convicted for 9 years for possession of hashish oil. 9 YEARS!!! That is crazy! I hope she is freed. ______________________________________________________________________________________ The United States has said that her detention and trial were politically motivated and that the Kremlin wants to exchange her for high-profile Russian citizens held in the United States. https://www.yahoo.com/news/brittney-griner-increasingly-anxious-she-184052897.html
  8. LOL @Pioneer1 True. True again. True. I have loved a lot of soul food restaurants in local areas but when I moved away, that was it.
  9. While the story is framed as an empowering drama with Viola Davis playing a hero who pushes back against the slave trade, the Dahomey kingdom actually gained much of its wealth from selling people into slavery. The Agojie were direct participants. … , The New Yorker published an in-depth critique of the film’s historical inaccuracies, saying that it “crosses the line from reasonable fiction into cynical distortion of history” by re-framing the Agojie as anti-slavery heroes. (Smithsonian Magazine also published an explainer on the film’s real-life origins, discussing the Agojie’s brutal reputation and the real reason the Dahomey kingdom ceased its involvement in the slave trade.) https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/woman-king-boycott-backlash-slave-trade/
  10. Okay LOL. Just be careful @Troy My thoughts too. @richardmurray I decided to google to see if Lupita offered any reason as to what I had heard, and she did. However, I think that more needs to be said because I still do not understand completely why the movie is causing controversy. I watched Lupita's reaction in a brief video when she visited the African country to do research about the movie, and well, I kept thinking about it all last night... couldn't get it off my mind. She broke down. Here's the clip: https://twitter.com/i/status/1571222219061166082
  11. Wow! Excellent post. However, I do not believe in signing a petition without doing more individual research. So, I will keep my eyes open for more information. Right now, I don't dismiss petitions at all and believe that this could be a great start, but I also believe something else needs to be done. Slavery in prison is definitely evil and it is a hidden agend due to decieving Black people to believe that the 13th Amendement outlaws slavery when it absolutely is written in such a way that it still condones it! And, I completely understand the issue about environmental dumping in poor and Black and other non-Europeans concentrated communities.
  12. Absolutely! True, but there is a lot of caution about it. You can get brain cancer. The Bible scriptures go into depth about this subject and it is not good if the chosen seed did not live in the acceptable fashion and do the 'right kind of practice outlined' in their lives. Sex should not be evil, but natural. This includes having a healthy diet!!!-- Or else, it will destroy the body and be bad in sexual relationships. Just sayin. Black people have been conditioned to have sex with a corrupt mind, and now, we have all kinds of problems. @richardmurray I heard on the Black Diaspora channel that Lupita N'yongo was offered the script, but after she researched the history, she refused the role. Do you have any idea why she refused this role? I am curious.
  13. That is terrible. @Pioneer1 I lived in California and Texas when I was younger, and yes, these comments remind me of some of the issues I experienced. This is why too, I fee that Black Americans need to be more distinct when the coin the phrase 'Black and Brown people' and include others into our struggle against racism. Also too, I am very frustrated to say the least that a White homosexual man was allowed under America to adopt a little Black African boy!!! That is insane!!! That is pure evil. We are descendants of slaves and should not be subjected to this at all. My spirit is hostile about it.
  14. Yes, thank you @Sani Nassif. I believe you about instincts especially when it comes to European history about slavery. And, I am still searching for 'the instincts' of other people to allow slavery to be set up, as you say, everywhere in the world. Right now, I am concentration on getting a better understanding the origins slavery in the earliest of civilizations. I believe, like @Pioneer1, that Neanderthals were wild. I also believe though, as you kind of alluded to, that Neanderthals perceived that they were more perfect than others but at some remote time before they became mutated. And because of their knowledge of the kind of healthy physical expression they once expressed, they went about engaging and intermixing with modern mankind, with sex selection issues on their mind so that they could erase the problems that came about in their genetics and part of this exploitation of modern mankind led to trickery and enslavement and developing some kind of control over others as well, that led to slavery. I want to give an example: at some point, in America, Sickle Cell Anemia became such a problem during chattel slavery that, the Europeans began stealing slaves from the east coast of Africa in order to get rid of that issue on the slave yard. I don't know if I have explained thouroughly though, what I am trying to get at. Anyway, thank you for your comments.
  15. Those Egyptian Eyes: Genetics & the Bible Part I ~ Introduction Egyptian queen Hatshepsut is depicted on a painted limestone statue in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. PHOTOGRAPH BY KENNETH GARRETT, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STOCK Ancient stone carving *You Tuber Although humans have existed and reproduced for thousands and thousands of years and we vary genetically in many ways, however, there are genetic blueprints and repetitive reproductive patterns even today that can be traced back to certain origins. So therefore, does the Holy Bible pinpoint genetic origins that can be understood today? Absolutely! But for various reasons many Black people have no idea how the Bible reveals these scientific facts. And so, some of the reasons that we do not understand will be outlined in order to show just how much science has been captured in the scriptures. Because the written works of the ancient scribes were deliberately sealed up for thousands of years therefore, today without research and revelations, then the Bible will not be understood. To also add to this would be the deliberate suppression of facts that have been presented about human origins. Howbeit as well would be one of the most affective detriments against Black African-typed Christians in understanding the Bible; the intense movement of White Supremacy furthered specifically byway of Black African people of which, I believe in general, we have all been exploited to do at one point in time in our lives. Many Black African people have been deliberately miseducated and then sponsored in several ways to intimidate others into believing lies and to propagandize deceptions, not at all backed up by science nor confirmed and so today, many of us have accepted common beliefs that are false. One prevalent misleading belief forced upon the Black African world from other ‘Blacks’ who are not even degreed in this area of study would be to put out falsities in that there are no humans expressed as being ‘BLACK SKINNED’. With great intimidation and stealth has this information been propagandized byway of many African-typed people. It has been pushed as a matter-of-factly approach, in that ‘there is no such occurrence of Black skinned people, and we are all expressed as different shades of brown’. So even though science reports and the Bible states otherwise, this common misbelief has been pushed for so long, that it has been accepted as being a fact. Therefore, in order to highlight some key points about our human origins, it would be good to go back to the earliest civilizations scripted, one of which would be that of ancient Egypt [Kemet]. Also, in addition to the subject of ‘Black Skin’, one other unique expression that we have been accustomed to see in art will be discussed and that would be those mystifying Egyptian eyes so often depicted which, in some circumstances, has a correlation to Black skin, believe it or not! But however, the Egyptian eyes in art will be contrasted and compared to the Biblical scriptures about the Egyptians of past and present. The Eye of Horus from the Tomb of Sennedjem [5] I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. [6] Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: SONG OF SOLOMON 1:4-5. Naomi Campbell Iman the Late Elizabeth Taylor Rahotep & Nofret; Old Pyramid Age Egypt: Before the Old Pyramid Age, the New Pyramid Age & Beyond ======================== TIMELINE =========================== B.C, B.C.E. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------A.D., C.E. 5000 ---- 4000 ---- 3000 ---- 2000 ---- 1000 **** 1000 ---- 2000 ---- A.D. 2022 -------------------------------- 2000s B.C. In the scholarly world nothing can be accepted as fact or fiction without other publications, references and confirmations based on some type of scientific format. So likewise, ancient scriptures that we consider today, should not be accepted as a complete truth without it being proven by various scholarly methods of validation that can stand the test of time and measurement. We can choose to believe by faith and hope but over the course of time, ‘Faith without works are dead’. Faith with no eventual proof will be dead--without any effort. So, when we read reports about Egypt today and see the media and visual representations today of the Egyptian people, as a whole, they seem to look much different from the Egyptian people of the past. What do our educational books say? What does the Church teach about Egypt as it was detailed in the Bible? Have Black American people been taught from two different point of views about ancient Egypt? Some popular films shown here in America have shown that ancient Egypt was dominated by White people. But how does this portrayal of ancient Egypt compare or contrast with the ancient scriptures and with ancient Egyptian script and depictions? The fine art museum here in America in Massachusetts shows that in the earliest of Egyptian civilizations, it was dominated by black and very dark skinned African-typed people, but it also showed White and lighter skinned people present too. So therefore, it would be important to look at script as well as art history to know truth. Because ancient Egypt also has a very long dated history then, it would also be important to look at dated material to better understand the past. There was a lengthy historical period documented that occurred long before the Old Pyramid Age began, and this aspect captured in the Bible in terminologies as well as in ancient Egyptian script would be crucial to understanding human origins. Scientifically, the end of the Old Pyramid Age can be marked in many ways, but one major mark would be the end of the use of massive and well-cut stones to construct pyramids. The New Pyramid Age/Later Bronze Age [i.e. the Middle Kingdom Period & New Kingdom Period] can be marked, scientifically by new technology; an upgraded and extensive use of the bronze metal and distinct building material used to construct pyramids and many other structures. For example, the use of much smaller mudbricks had been manufactured on a widescale. To scale these distinct Egyptian time periods, it would be beneficial to note the very time period and age of our Modern American civilization. The Age of Exploration begun during the 15th century, which would be one major time period that begins the formation of our present civilization up until now would be about 600 years. However, the Old Pyramid Age lasted for over a thousand years before it came to an end abruptly. This period can be marked by what secular scholars’ term ‘the wet phase’ and matches the very time period of the Biblical Great World Flood. The New Pyramid Age and the New Bronze Age began after a period that became known as ‘a dark period’, that of the First Intermediate Period. So, aside from the sudden end of the Old Bronze Age of the pre-flood world and after the end of the old methods of the construction of pyramids, however, there were several other recorded confirmations that synchronizes Biblical scriptures with ancient Egyptian records such as the extensive copper and tin trade that marks the transition into the New Bronze Age and marks both the incredible civilizations of Sumer and Egypt. The earliest records of these civilizations are dated to be about 4000s-3500s BC. And then there were the many hundreds of Cuneiform tablets that attest to this late copper trade period [CHALCOLITHIC PERIOD], and the New Bronze Age and connects to the same timeline of the Biblical post-flood Cush descendants of Ham, the CHALDEANS, that set up this Sumerian civilization in and around present-day Iraq. But after the third and fourth generations of these early Sumerians had been born, after the decline of the Sixth [6th] Dynasty in Egypt, and the Intermediate Period eventually collapsed, and then finally after the New Kingdom Period had set up and become well defined and marked by the rise of the 19th Dynasty around the 1300s BC, therefore another time period of about a thousand years had elapsed since the time of the Great World Flood [2300 – 1300 = 1000]. So, to better understand how Egyptian people have been defined over the course of thousands of years then, it would be good to understand the earliest periods of recorded history. Because Bible terminology does use terminologies that define Egypt as one of the earliest civilizations therefore, this would be a good start. Cont.

I wrote part one of this research a year ago and decided not to post it until I completed the conclusion of my research of which, I still have not done. In the interim, I yanked the cord out of my old computer and anguished over not being able to access my research and had to get help to recover my files. Although I’ve researched about Egypt for many years, I always make a practice of going back over details intermittently to check for scientific and historical updates. This research on Egypt is my passion and is also really in depth and I just did not want to even attempt to start from scratch on remembering what I had already written down to post. I just recently finished part two, but I still need to research much more references and hope to share more. The history about Egypt is so vast but I believe it should be a main focus in understanding the issues of today.
  16. @richardmurray Good point. Another good point. The Black church should have done better. That could be the one event that could foster a better unity on a major event that affects mostly all of the ADOS, FBA, etc. They continually collect in the offering plate to fund what!?
  17. What!? Okay, I need to pause and tag some of these Black men in this community... @Pioneer1, @ProfDYou don't hear what he is saying!? @Sani NassifWhy are you excusing the White Europeans for starting their White Supremacist movement? Millions of African children died in the Middle Passage. Many White people have no problem stating that they believe Black Africans should be defined as 2/3rds, etc. That maybe instinct on their part though. That is definitely not normal.
  18. Well, I don't completely agree with @Pioneer1 too, but I can understand why he and the NOI believe in this way. Well, I am not offended, however, I don't really think it is altogether 'insanity'. I believe that what the White Europeans have done is insanity. They are. The Europeans that set up slavery and rape of African children are definitely an abomination. But did all Europeans do this? Absolutely not. No way @Sani Nassif Do not blame the victim. The European movement and their modern day construction of 'race' based on skin color is a reality. They did that! You're right, the Europeans justified killing Native Americans and enslaving Africans by saying that we were heathens and violent, etc. however, as you stated about the presence of the Neanderthals that were in AFRICA millions of years ago. What Black people need to do, is to go back farther in history to realize that this evil system of White Supremacy goes much farther back than 1492 and infiltrated African and caused division and violence. Black-on-black violence is inevitable until we accept the truth about White Supremacy infiltrating our lands.
  19. That is NOT what the pagan scientiest report today. I partly agree though with you about Neanderthal intermixing with African people, however No, Neanderthals did not start in Africa. African people's skin possess melanin and as @Pioneer1 mentioned, Neanderthals have very thick skin. That is not an adaptation but A MUTATION. Pagan scientist have a movement about evolution, however, as a Biologist, I know that evolution has not been proven at all, and that is why it is a theory. I studied melanin in college in one course, I studied about melanin specifically. The course was Histology. I studied cells with melanin and know that Europeans also have it in their skin cells, however, the significant lack of it in their cells causes them to be more susceptible to a lot of skin diseases. The lack of melanin is not about adaptation. Neanderthals were definitely in Africa and did not originate in Europe as pagan scientiest report. I believe you, however, African people do not have thick skin and are not aliens to this planet. African people are indigenous to this planet earth. Our cells and our hair are not associated with scales at all. My senior thesis project was about this subject of 'hair, nails, etc. of which I concentrated on the study of chicks in my class called COMPARATIVE ANATOMY. Yes. No evidence. This would not even be a theory nor an hypothesis. No. You are contradicting yourself. fossils do not prove conclusively unless the process is OBSERVED and REPEATED. This is the basis for the SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Neanderthals are NOT of this planet. They are aliens. The film that @franksterposted reveals some of these issues. There is NO evidence today in reproduction of Neanderthal males reproducing and having more Neanderthal males. Today, they only exist through hybrids which shows that they did intermix with Africans.
  20. Oh Wow, that is not good. Hope you get out of depression and suicidal thoughts because everyone has a positive place in this world and hopefully you will find your purpose. @Sani Nassif At any rate, I have not had the chance to read and understand your research. Just read your last post, 1st paragraph about slanted eyes and the first person of African descent I thought about was the late Nelson Mandela and see that you mentioned him too.
  21. I thought the movie Black Panther was written by a Black man. Also, I did not hear any hype about the subject of a Wakanda. I don't know if Women King is worse but, I just wonder why Lupita refuse the role and think that the movie is suspect for this reason. Yes! Thank you! I absolutely will.
  22. Congratulations!!! @Troy She is beautiful!
  23. LOL. Okay, @ProfD Maybe by the time you go, the lines will not exist anymore and you can just walk right in! Unfortunately for me, I LOVE turkey legs! I love turkey wings too, etc. I can't imagine waiting in a 2 hour line though, but if I had the chance to visit Turkey Leg Hut, I would try to go and see if I could bring a 'tailigate stool' or something. Well, I thought I might have heard of it before too.
  24. What is a 613 Helmet!? Trip to the Black Owned Business Oh My God! Please help me to get some travel money so that I can go to the Turkey Hut! This is on my bucket list. I first heard of this Black owned business in Houston, Texas from a viral video posted by a black own vlog site called Pink Book Lessons of which she mentioned a disrespectful Black woman who went to the restaurant this past September 4, 2022, to make a publicity stunt to go against the dress code policy. So, she referred to this woman as wearing a 613 Helmet and also a 304. It took me a google moment to find out the meanings and so, 613 helmet refers to the blonde wig that this woman wore and 304 is an urban slang word which means ‘Whore’ [i.e., HOE]. Apparently, 304 stems from turning a calculator upside down and when the number 304 is read it spells ‘hoe’! LOL. At any rate, this restaurant was opened and operated by a Black woman, and it has become so famous that many celebrities go there. People stand outside in two-hour lines to be able to experience the mouth-watering food! So as for me, I would have no problem with the dress code: The Turkey Leg Hut dress code policy states: *no excessively revealing clothing (shorts must cover your entire bottom) *no obscene language or baggy clothing *no house attire (including wave caps, du-rags, house shoes or shower caps) *no exposed undergarments (including sports bras, bras, panties or garments resembling these items) *no swimwear of any kind Man! I remember when I had to take refuge a few years back and travelled all the way across America to St. Louis, Missouri and by happenstance, turned into the driveway of Sweetie Pie’s restaurant and learned how famous it was but now, This Turkey Leg Hut and piqued my interest even more! Sweetie Pie’s was also founded by a Black woman who was a backup singer for Tina Turner and like Turkey Leg Hut, her restaurant became so famous that people will travel from far away and stand in long lines just for the experience. Now, at Turkey Leg Hut, people come from places all around the world to eat at this restaurant. Famous people like Snoop Dog and Kevin Hart and many more also visited and endorse it. Even the African Diaspora Channel featured this restaurant because the Gentrification type communities that sprung up in this once dominant Black community sued the owners due to the smoke that they claimed was a problem in the community! However, so many kinds of people patronize this establishment and so, because of the many kinds of people that come to it, the owners soon listed a dress code and so, these viral videos posted will show the true story of how this restaurant has become so famous. And the viral video by Pink Book Lessons, etc. will also explain more about this amazing restaurant and the kind of negativity that actually came from Black women.
