RASTAS AND THE FABLE OF SOLOMON AND SHEBA

Saitic Isis and her young sun, Heru.

The words "Ras" and "Jah" connote light, wisdom or knowledge. When the Rastas chant "Jah Rastafari," they're essentially reaching for light, wisdom or knowledge. However, when they hail Selassie as a divine king due to his so-called "Solomonic antecedent" through the royal lineage of Sheba or Saba; it's clear they're attempting to reach for the ancient-Hebrew mythos!

The word "Saba," as the word "Ras" or "Jah," connotes light, wisdom or knowledge - Saba in Coptic means knowledge.That is, the mythical Queen of Sheba or Saba was the Queen of light or knowledge whom, I believe, symbolically represents Saitic Isis.

So if the Queen of Saba is the Queen of knowledge; then, it makes sense that King Solomon is the King of Wisdom or the King of light! It's often said that Solomon is the shekina or visible manifestation of divine wisdom. That is to say, Solomon, like Osir, personifies the sun. This is why the name "SOL!OM!ON" is the name of the sun in three different ancient languages, and why King Solomon is often associated with wisdom - light or enlightenment brings knowledge and wisdom.

I maintain that the Temple of Solomon was the Temple of Ausar or the Temple of the SUN; it had nothing to do with the pretended antiquity of Jerusalem and the Hebrew sect.

I further maintain that the mythical relationship between the Queen of Sheba and Solomon is an allegory for the astronomical relationship between the moon (Saitic Isis) and the sun (Ausar or Osir).

Arabic Script and its Independent Evolution from Islam

I once mentioned that the development of Arabic as a writing script had 

very little, if anything, to do with the evolution of Islam. First off, every 

well-known writing script today came from a common origin. This simply 

means a writing script is a system, and just like every other system can 

only be invented once.

According to the most credible historical records available to us, every
well-known writing script of today originated from the ancient Egyptian 

scripts: the Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr, the Phonetic I alphabets 

or Heratic script, and the Phonetic II alphabets or the Demotic script - it's 

even plausible that the ancient Egyptian scripts were derived from distant 

pre-historic antecedents. Even Plato had this to say in his work "The Republic," 

and I paraphrase: of all the the known inventions of the Ethiops, writing was 

probably the most important. Of course in antiquity, the Axumites, Nubians, and 

the Egyptians were collectively referred to as Ethiopians, all from Cusha Dwipa 

without.

Arabic, and perhaps even Hebrew, as writing scripts came out of the

Phonetic II alphabets or the Demotic script of ancient Egypt, which in its 

original form was essentially the Kufic or meroitic script of ancient Sudan. 

Again, the development of Arabic as a writing script has nothing to do with 

the evolution of Islam.

When I re-examined the sequential order of the evolution of writing
itself, contrary to the general assumption, it occurred to me that the 

invention of Phonetic alphabets might be anterior to the invention of 

Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr. That is to say, it's plausible that the 

Phonetic alphabets were invented by the priest-class thousands of years 

before the development of the Pictographic Hieroglyphs or Md Ntr. 

But for simplicity, the priests endeavored to invent the Pictographic 

Hieroglyphs for the unlearned masses. Think about it! It is much easier to 

use symbols and Pictographs to transliterate ideas than to use alphabets.

This I consider as to be the reason why Pictographic Hieroglyphs were 

ubiquitous in Ancient Egypt, and why Phonetic alphabets were only used 

on papyri for recording scientific knowledge.

In other words, my contention is that the Phonetic alphabets were first among

the writing scripts to be invented by the priests, perhaps, to record their mystery 

knowledge; while, the Pictographic Hieroglyphs were developed much later to 

convey this knowledge in a simplistic way to the masses - the Rosetta stone was 

probably built for this purpose.

All in all, the fact that Arabic is found in some ancient texts for recording 

scientific knowledge does not mean that the author(s) of these texts were 

Muslims or even Arabs. It just means that Arabic was a preferred script at 

that time. We've seen Pre-Islamic-Egyptian medical papyri with what looks 

like the Arabic script, and we've also seen Christian texts that were written, 

mostly, in Arabic. So contrary to the general assumption, Arabic and Islam 

are not synonymous!

Brahmanism and the Origin of Caste System in the Indus Valley

A "dancing girl" statuette found in the Indus Valley. Circa 2500-3000 BC.
                                     

I submitted in my essay “The Ancient Connection between Brahmanism and Abramanism” that Brahmanism and Abramanism had the same origin, and that Brahma was the same mythical personage as Abraham, personifying the SUN. However, the thesis that the original Hindu/Brahmin-based caste system started when the nomadic Brahmin groups invaded India (i.e., Cusha Dwipa within, Indus Valley or Eastern Ethiopia), approximately five thousand years ago, might not be completely accurate. While it’s well-documented that the advent of Brahmanism or Hinduism coincided with the arrival of the nomadic Brahmin groups in India, the origin of the caste system in India remains an enigma.  

Be that as it may, having researched several studies on the origin of caste system in general, since castes exist in societies outside of India, I surmised with caution that the caste-system in India started before the Brahmin invasion, perhaps by the indigenous people themselves (i.e., the proto-inhabitants of the Indian sub-continent). I came into this conclusion when I realized that indigenous people, all over the world, practiced one form of caste system or the other. 

Looking at the caste systems that are practised around the world, I found out that some of these caste systems are religious based; some are occupational based, and others are ethnic based. For example, the Osu caste system practiced by the Igbo community and the Southern Cameroonians is religious based, while the Mande caste system practiced by the Senegambian societies is occupational based. My submission is that if the indigenous people in many societies around the world, outside of India, could conceive the caste system locally, independent of outsiders, then it’s not implausible that the proto-inhabitants of India could have started the caste system before the arrival of the nomadic Brahmins.

All in all, while it seems that the Caste system in India had local or indigenous origins. I’m inclined to say that this locally conceived system was later hijacked and corrupted into the Varna, Hindu-based hierarchical organization that is pervasive in rural India today.

The Ancient Connection between Brahmanism And Abramanism.

If Manetho did live as a historical figure and if he accurately depicted the historical struggle between the Hyksos and the Kemites; then, it's safe to conclude that the Hyksos were nomadic Brahmins who moved eastward into Harrapan and Mohanjedaro (South Asia), and Westward into Nubia and Kemet (Africa). My conclusion is premised on both facts and theories.

It's a fact that a group of nomadic Brahmins invaded and destroyed the Harrapan-Mohanjedaro civilization in the East. It's also a fact that a group of nomadic shepherds invaded Kemet, but were unsuccessful in usurping the Kemetic civilization in the West. Lastly, it's a fact that the word Palestine was derived from Pallisthan, Hindu word that means the seat of the Pallis or Shepherds. Palli, in Sanskrit, means Shepherds.

Although my submission above may state facts, but nothing of a historical kind must be believed without some collateral evidence. Let's see if I can find some collateral evidence in confirmation of my conclusion and facts in the following theories:

1. The first hypothesis is the Brahmin hypothesis, which is that a group of nomadic Brahmins, mostly Aryan, left their base in ancient India for Kemet, where they ruled provisionally for nearly two centuries. After which they were forcefully expelled into a neighboring land, now called Palestine.

2. The second hypothesis, which I call the Dravidian hypothesis, does not deny the incursion of the Asiatics into kemet as implied in the Brahmin hypothesis; however, it denies that the invading Asiatics were Nomadic Brahmins. According to the Dravidian hypothesis, the Asiatic invaders of Kemet were a ground of Dravidian priests, mostly Africoid, who escaped the Brahmin onslaught on their land in Asia.

As Godfrey Higgins succinctly put it: in the most early history of mankind all nations endeavor to indulge a contemptible vanity, by tracing their origin to the most remote periods. And of this weakness they have all, in reality, been guilty (Anacalysis Vol. I). Well based in part on archeological records, of all these people, none can trace their origin farther than the Cushites or the Ethiopians.

Almost all the historians of antiquity (Strabo, Herodotus, Diodorus to name a few) attested to the fact that there were two Ethiopias in the Ancient times, one in the East (South Asia) and the other in the West (Africa). Based on this fact, I'm inclined to submit that the Cushite hegemony was the ancient order until the nomadic Brahmins invaded the Eastern Ethiopia, leading to the destruction of Harappan-Mohenjodaro civilization of the East and the development of the caste-based spiritual philosophy of Brahmanism.

I'm further inclined to submit that I agree to the Brahmin hypothesis above. That is, the Hyksos or the Asiatic invaders of Kemet were the same nomadic Brahmins who had earlier invaded and destroyed Kemetic sister's civilization to the East, Harappan-Mohenjodaro. However, unlike in the East, the Brahmin invasion of Kemet dented the Kemetic civilization but did not destroy it.  The Brahmins, having ruled Kemet for nearly two centuries, were forcefully expelled from Kemet into a neighboring barren land, which they named Palestine - the land of the shepherds.  Note that the Hyksos are generally referred as the shepherd kings.

And lastly, I further submit that it was in Palestine that the Brahmins/Hyksos/Shepherd kings developed their new spiritual philosophy called Abramanism, which is a continuation in part of Brahmanism - I've established in my previous writing that Brahma and Abraham are one and the same mythical personage. In other words, Brahmanism and Abramanism are one and the same.

Please do not confuse the Abrahamic triad (Christianity, Judaism and Islam) with Abramanism or ancient "Hebrewism." The former was formulated, in the middle Ages, based on the distorted information lifted from the latter. And be aware that the Egpto-Cushites were disparaged heavily in the scriptures plausibly because of the ancient feud between the Brahmin Nomads and the agrarian Egypto-Cushites of the West.

The story of the Cushites, Brahmins, Israelites, Elamites, Mohenjo-Darians, ancient Phoenicians, Sumerians, Chaldeans, and even ancient Persians is the story of the struggle between the Nomadic Aryan Brahmins and the Agrarian-aboriginal Cushites.

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.
