A Brief Inquiry Into The Sacred Relationship Between Solomon and Makeda.

An inquiry into the ancient names of the SUN revealed that the term "Sol-Om-On" is the name of the SUN in three ancient languages. In other words "Sol" "Om" and "On" all stand for the SUN. Sol = Sun in Latin. Om or Aum = Sun in Sanskrit. On or Ra = Sun in ancient Kemetic language. Thus, when combined became SOLOMON. The "Temple of Solomon" is the TEMPLE OF THE SUN; it has nothing to do with the pretended antiquity of Jerusalem.

Artistic portrayal of Makeda (Queen of Sheba)

So if we say "SOLOMON" stands for the SUN; then, it's not implausible that Makeda (I.e. Queen of Sheba or Saba) stands for Saitic Isis, the MOON. I'm beginning to suspect that the mythological relationship between Solomon and Makeda (the Queen of Sheba) is an allegory for the astrological relationship between the sun and the moon - the sun or Osir being the male principle, and the Moon or Isis being the female principle.

Pre-historic Journey of Anatomical Modern Man (AMM)

The research into the pre-historic journey of anatomical modern man (AMM) is still on going, but these are what we've uncovered so far: 

                                     1. The Khoisan people of South Africa appear to be the first AMM. 

Khoisan type in South Africa

2. The Khoisan interbred with the Bantu type, and their product moved Eastward and Westward.

3. Their Westward migration was towards the Adamawa Plateau in West Africa, where the Nok culture was developed (see Berom and Jarawa people).

4. Their Eastward migration was along the Nile; towards: Egypt, North East Africa (now Middle East), and Euro-Asia.

Jarawa type in Asia

The Jarawa people appear to be the first AMM in Asia. Their antecedents reached Asia about 60,000-65,000 years ago, where they occupied the Andaman Islands in the Gulf of Bengal between India and Indonesia. Many of them still dwell there today.

What are the evidentiary facts to support Jarawa peoples’ migration into Asia?

 1. DNA evidence: recent DNA studies have confirmed that the Jarawa and some other human groups in Asia Pacific had traces of DNA from individuals that migrated, tens of thousands of years ago, from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and Asia. Their closest relatives have been confirmed, through DNA tests, to be the Khoisan people above.

 2. Linguistic Evidence: the linguistic evidence at this point is inconclusive for many of the Jarawa people in Asia today are isolated. However, it is important to note that not only do you find a group of Africoid people going by the name "Jarawa" in Asia, but you also find them going by the same name in sub-Saharan Africa. Interestingly, the Jarawa people in Asia today are mostly found in the Andaman Islands; where as, the Jarawa people in sub-Saharan Africa reside around the Adamawa Plateau - notice how similar the names are i.e. "Andaman" and "Adamawa." I don’t think this commonality of names is a coincidence.

3. Archeological Evidence: a key archeological evidence is the commonality of divination system in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia (more specifically, China). When I examined the origin of sub-Saharan African divination system (i.e. IFA), I found out that IFA was conceived locally by the Khoisan, or perhaps by the earliest Bantu hybrid type. It’s not implausible that it was these same people who later transferred the knowledge of IFA system to the Shang Dynasty (i.e. Shango in Yoruba) of China when they migrated into Asia thousands of years ago. This I consider as to be the reason why IFA divination system and Chinese I Ching hexagram system are one and the same. (Adapted from my essay "Hybridization and The Absorption of Hominids Into The Diverse Human Population).

Oware board-game

Another archeological evidence is the Oware ancient-board game (i.e., Ayo Opon, Mancala etc), which is very popular among the sub-Saharan Africans, but is also found and played under a different name in South Asia (i.e., Sungka); more specifically, in the Philippines. Archeologists believe that this board game was brought into the Philippines by the indigenous Aeta people of the land, who have been linked genetically to sub-Saharan Africa.

In conclusion, I maintain that the journey of the AMM was not that of evolution, but rather of mutation and hybridization. It was the Khoisan and the hybridized Bantu type that left their homeland in Africa for other continents, where they interbred or hybridized with Erectus to survive in hostile environments.

Sacrificial Twins in The Old Yoruba Kingdom - Myth or Reality?

I have noticed, very recently, a few revisionists online claiming that the sacrifice of twins was a common practice among the Yoruba people during the Old Kingdom. I have said it before, and I will say it again: Yoruba people never engaged in the practice of sacrificing twins. But whoever is claiming otherwise is grossly misinformed; because, such an individual knows nothing about the Yoruba metaphysical thought process. Let us look at the Yoruba metaphysical thought process to put this argument to rest once and for all.

According to the Yoruba metaphysical thought process, our world is a chaotic market place (Aye loja) – chaos theory, created on the binary fortune of good and the misfortune of evil (Tibi tire la da ile aye) – binary theory, where only good character (IWA PELE) brings you closer to good fortune. The Yoruba understand the principle of harmonious binary opposites, and they regard twins as the perfect harmonious duality in human form (i.e., perfect “two truths”). There is nothing superficial, and I repeat, there is nothing superficial about this philosophical concept. It was this neat philosophical concept that led to the development of IFA or I Ching, which later morphed into binary code theory.

The Yoruba people look upon twins with such high veneration, much so, that twins are regarded as pseudo-orisha, Neteru or god in the Yoruba pantheon (Orisa Ibeji). In fact, the thesis that the Efik of Calabar were twin’s killers should be met with the antithesis of the Yoruba godly view of the twins, which is that twins are semi-deity in the Yoruba pantheon (i.e. Orisa Ibeji) - I strongly question Mary Slessor's account of twin's sacrifice among the Efik group of Calabar; this, I call a "missionary propaganda campaign." Anyway, how could twins be sacrificial and idolized at the same time? The answer is that twins are highly venerated in the Yoruba culture; so much so, that animals are often sacrificed to welcome their birth - twins were never sacrificed.

In conclusion, every culture of the world that sacrificed twins in antiquity did it for the same reason that many other cultures venerated them. That is, twins were regarded as perfect “two truths”, and thus were seen as the perfect harmonious duality in human form (Gerald Massey, natural genesis) - harmonious duality, they all believed, permeated our reality.

The Tale of the Two Cusha Dwipas and Du Bois's Misconception

When we made a serious inquiry into the origin and history of ancient nations, we found out that there were two lands of Ethiopia in the ancient times. There was Ethiopia of the East, also known as Cusha Dwipa within (I.e., Indus Valley), and there was Ethiopia of the West, also known as Cusha Dwipa without (I.e. Nile Valley). It is not necessary to talk about the intimate cultural and spiritual relations that existed between the two lands in antiquity for those are already old and well-known (see my essay “The Similarities Between Eastern and Western Kush”); however, it is necessary to examine and talk about the supposed common origin of the inhabitants of the two lands (i.e. Cusha Dwipa within and Cusha Dwipa without). The big question is whether the Nile Valley Civilization borrowed from the Indus Valley Civilization or vice versa.

There are positive, not necessarily accurate or even convincing, historical records of ancient Africans (Cushites) from the Horn of Africa (i.e. Nile Valley) having come to the Indus Valley. In the Greek mythology, Bacchus (i.e. Dionysus), the Ethiopian god was said to have conquered and established a colony in India – Bacchus was an imaginary personage, whom many people in the esoteric circle believe personifies the sun; so, this idle story of Bacchus may not qualify as a positive historical record. According to the Puranas of the Indian Scriptures, the ancient rulers of the Cusha Dwipas were said to be men of Meru or Meroe – Meroe was the ancient name for Sudan. The Puranas account is obviously a more positive historical record.

Conversely, there are other historical records that show how the colonies of Indus Valley (i.e. India) passed to the Horn of Africa (i.e., Nile Valley). One in particular was the Puranas of the Indian scriptures which states that the ancient Indians ruled over the whole of Indus Valley before moving west to the Horn of Africa.  Some historians, ancient and modern, bought into this “out of India” hypothesis. They argued that the first waves of shepherds who migrated into the Nile Valley region were ancient Indians. In his book “Anacalypsis,” Godfrey Higgins alluded to the fact that the original Phoenicians were Africoid people who left their native country in the Indus Valley to settle near the Assyrian Lake, and the extensive district between the Tigris and Euphrates, now called Palestine. The word “Palestine,” he opined, was derived from Pallisthan, an Indian word that means the seat of the Pallis or Shepherds – Palli, in Indian, means Shepherd.  Thus, the Indian origin of the word “Palestine” was taken as a proof of the “out of India" hypothesis.

One of the staunch proponents of the “out of India” or should I say “Out of Southern Asia” hypothesis was W.E.B Du Bois. In his book “The Negro,” Du Bois states "from the center in Southern Asia primitive human beings began to differentiate in two directions. Toward the South appeared the primitive Africoid people, long-headed and with flattened hair follicle. He spread along the Southern Asia and passed over into Africa, where he survives today as the reddish dwarfs of the center and the Bushmen of South Africa." Du Bois and many European scholars of his day actually thought that the anatomical modern man originated from Southern Asia. According to them, since the fossil records had shown that the first anatomical modern man (AMM) was black; then, the first AMM had to be a “black Asiatic” - an erroneous assumption that has been disproven by the modern DNA test that shows that the first AMM actually came from Africa, not from Southern Asia as originally thought.

The “out of Southern Asia” hypothesis that was erroneously popularized by Du Bois among the black psuedo-scholars here in the United States was later adopted by many people in the black "spiritually conscious" communities. For example, the Moorish Science Temple, founded by Noble Drew Ali; Nuwaubian nation and the Nation of Islam. It is not uncommon, even today, to see members of the aforementioned communities adhering to the "out of Southern Asia" hypothesis and the erroneous concept of "The Black Asiatic." I must say that Du Bois was accurate in so many other areas, but on the “out of southern Asia” hypothesis, science proved him wrong. This is not a critique of the man, but rather an examination of his misconception and the origin of the misnomer “The Black Asiatic."

Odu "gba were mesin" - Blind Faith.

In the Odu “gba were mesin”......a young initiate from the temple of Ast sought consultation with IFA. IFA warned the young one of an imminent flood, but advised the young one to be prepared and to have faith. Three days after the warning, there was a great flood in the land. The young initiate rushed out of his house to escape the flood, but was swept away by the heavy current into the pool of water where he started to drown.

While drowning, three different boats came one after the other to rescue the young one. But to the rescuers' dismay, the young one refused to get on the boat. He maintained that his salvation was in the hands of IFA, not in the hands of the rescuers, and that his strong faith in IFA would rescue him from the flood. The last rescuer reluctantly left just like the one before him, and the young initiate eventually drowned.

At his death, the young initiate reunited with IFA in the underworld where he protested to IFA for not being saved despite his strong faith in him. IFA responded "I sent three boats to rescue you, but your blind faith prevented you from getting on any of them; so, for your blind faith, you prematurely relegated yourself to the underworld." It is in the underworld the young initiate remains till date.

“Flavian Thesis” Examined.

The thesis that the canonical gospels are allegorical parallels of the Torah, and the writings of Flavius Josephus must be carefully examined. In the book “Caesar’s Messiah,” Joseph Atwill contends that the canonical gospels are typologic fiction formulated by the Flavian Dynasty (i.e. Roman Imperial family) to invalidate the Torah.

While the “Flavian thesis” proposed by Joseph Atwill is interesting, but certainly not convincing, I believe this hypothesis is a clever attempt by Mr. Atwill and his supporters to validate the authenticity of the Torah, and simultaneously invalidate the Canonical gospels. The current writer agrees that the Canonical gospels are typologic fiction, but so is the Torah.

My position, to be specific, is that even if it is true that the Canonical gospels are allegorical parallels of the Torah and the writings of Josephus; the Torah itself is an allegorical parallel of more ancient writings and mythoses (i.e. Homeric writings, Greek mythoses, Egyto-Cushite mythoses etc.). For example, just as the story of Christ in Matthew parallels the story of Moses in Exodus, the story of Moses in Exodus parallels the story of Akhenaton in ancient Egypt. And just as the Gospel of Mark and Luke parallels the supposed writings of Josephus; the story of Samson and Delilah in the Torah parallels the story of Hercules/Herakles in the Greek Mythos. In fact, many of the books in the Torah are named after Greek city states; so, the Hellenistic influence on the writer of the Torah is undeniable.

My research, unlike the “Flavian thesis,” revealed to me that both the Torah and the Canonical Gospels were formulated using a unique typologic method around 10th to 12th century A.D, but not in the 2nd century A.D as now implied in the “Flavian thesis.” What is a typologic method? A typologic method is a literary method whereby a contemporary story is superimposed on a more ancient story to make the contemporary story look ancient – ancient Greek scholars are well known for using typologic method in their writings, so it is plausible that the medieval-era Jewish writers were highly influenced by the literary method of the ancient Greek scholars.   

In fact, I would conjecture that Flavius Josephus was an incarnated personage, created perhaps in the middle ages or even later, whose supposed writings were back dated to defend Judaism as a classical religion and philosophy. It is very complicated to use hindsight to reconstruct ancient history; more specifically, the historical origin of the “Abrahamic Triad" due to the typologic method adopted by the scripture writers to code their writings. But when historians use competitive plausibility in the reconstruction of ancient history, they tend to eliminate what is less likely. In the present case, what is less likely is that the scriptures are true historical records, not some kind of typologic fiction.

The Similarities between Eastern and Western Kush and many more!

As per the similarities between the cultures and religions of Eastern and Western Kush (India being Eastern Kush and Ethiopia being Western Kush); firstly, I would say the most significant similarity between the two cultures is the sacredness of cow/bull. One of the greatest deities, perhaps the greatest, in the Nile Valley (I.e. Western Kush) was Auset (Isis). Auset was a piscean deity of fertility, and was depicted as a cow, the mother goddess Hathor - whom the Semites call the golden calf. Remember, the ancient Nile valley people were big on symbolism; especially, the use of animals to symbolize physical realities and spiritual concepts. Thus, it makes sense that a great deity of fertility would be symbolized by a cow. I believe it's the same cult of Auset (I.e. mother goddess Hathor) that spread from the Western Kush to the Eastern Kush, and I consider this to be the reason why cows are sacred to Indians even today.

Another similarity that I've noticed between the two cultures is the belief in the idea of a "third eye" or a spiritual/hidden eye which can only be activated by the sun. The belief is that the pineal gland, located in the middle of the fore head, can be turned into a third/spiritual eye if activated properly by the sun rays. You may have noticed this in many Egyptian reliefs, where the Pharaoh's forehead is being penetrated by sun rays. The Kemetians called the "third eye" the eye of Heru, and the present day Indians visibly mark the location of the "third eye" with a red dot on their foreheads.

There are many other similarities between the two cultures; most importantly, the commonality of sacred symbols. The famous Hindu cross (I.e. Swastika) is also found on many ancient temples across the Nile, more specifically on the Axumite temple in Ethiopia. The Obelisk as a symbol of reproduction, resurrection and life (i.e. phallic symbol) in the Nile Valley is found under the same symbolism in India as Shiva Lingam.

As per the Tamil people's claim that their language is older than Sanskrit, I agree to this claim. I believe that the Tamil language and many other languages spoken in most of Southern India today are a variant of proto- Dravidian language group. Many contemporary scholars believe that while it's true that the original inhabitants of India and Indian subcontinent (Cusha Dwipa within or Eastern Kush) were Dravidian speaking people (please research Mohenjo-Daro/Harappan civilization), these original Dravidian people were invaded by a nomadic tribe from the North (Nomadic Aryans) who later destroyed the Dravidian's civilization and introduced Sanskrit language into India. Scholars cited the post-invasion nomadic culture of cremation of the dead, prevalent, in India to buttress their foreign invasion hypothesis.

However, the ancient scholars, more specifically, Homer, Herodotus, Strabo, to name but a few, were of the view that the people from the Western and Eastern Kush were one and the same. It is plausible they came into this conclusion based on the morphological similarities between these two groups of people. While I'm not dismissing the thesis of the contemporary and ancient scholars, I am however offering a slightly different view of the racial composition of Eastern Kush (Indian subcontinent) and the historical origin of its people. But before I do so, let me take you back very quicky to the origin of modern man.

I will start by saying that I agree to the evolutionist's mono-genetic origin of man. However, I believe the origin of modern man was that of mutation and hybridization. My research revealed to me that evolution occurred to the point of Grimaldi man, and the rest was a product of hybridization (please see Cro-Magnon man). That is to say, the divergent human species we see today came about through a process of hybridization or cross breeding between the Grimaldi man and the humanoids (I.e. Neanthertals, Denisovans etc).

In my essay "hybridization hypothesis," I surmised with caution that Australian aboriginals were a product of the interbreeding between the Grimaldi men and the Denisovans (sub species of homo sapiens). I believe the Denisovans were the original inhabitants of Australian and Indian subcontinent, but the Grimaldi men came over into these regions from Africa around 40,000 years ago where they interbreed with the Denisovans to survive in a new environment. Out of this interbreeding came the proto Dravidian people, who were the original inhabitants of Eastern Kush. Around 1000 B.C, perhaps much earlier, a group of nomadic men (Nomadic Aryans) from the Caucus region, who were hybrid of Grimaldi and Neanthertals themselves, invaded the Western Kush (North and North East Africa now called the Middle East) via present day Iran, and Eastern Kush (ancient India) via Afghanistan.They destroyed the original Elamite civilization, built by the Western Kushites or the Ethiopians in Iran. They also destroyed the original Mohenjo-Daro/Harappan civilization, built by the ancient Dravidians in the Indus Valley.

I do not believe, however, that this invasion happened just once. There was a series of invasions that spanned almost a millennium. For example, the initial invasion of Eastern Kush by the Turks was not strong enough to subvert the original indigenous spiritual system, but was strong enough to corrupt it into what is known today as Hinduism. Buddhism was later developed by the displaced Dravidians from the South as a protest to the corruption of their ancient system (please research Khmer people of Indian subcontinent) - note the similarity between Khem and Khmer. In the early A.D era, another group of Monist Turks invaded Eastern and Western Kush, and introduced a male dominated religious philosophy called Mohammedanism to these two regions. This is why North Africa, North East Africa (Middle East), and many countries in Indian sub-continent today are Islamic - Islam developed out of Mohammedanism. 

In conclusion, the origin of modern man is that of evolution and hybridization. And I contend that human population outside of Africa is largely a product of hybridization. What I have written here is not written in stone. They are to be studied, interrogated, and challenged.
