Hotep (Afrikan Kemetic Medu Neter word for Peace), Ankh, Udja, Seneb (Afrikan Kemetic Medu Neter words for Life, Prosperity, Heath)! May this post find you in the best of spirits! My Trip to Kemet (Egypt), Africana Studies, and Black Liberation. Yes, family I am in Afrika doing field and educational research about Kemet, (Egypt)-the world's oldest and greatest documented civilization. The 2021 Kemet Nu Educational Know They Self Tour is sponsored by Professors Ashra and Merira Kwesi. They are the legendary teachers of Egyptology (the scientific study on Egyptian history, culture, and spirituality) and history. The Kemet Nu Knowledge of Self Educational Tours hosts two sessions per summer. This session's tour is taking place from 7/11/21 to 7/25/21. Journal Entry 9: Our Kemetic studies concluded with many visits to the many temples in Upper Kemet (southern Egypt). One such temple is called the Temple of Edfu. It features many images of duwa (thanking and giving praises to God). The symbol for duwa are both hands raised. Jews, Christians, and Muslims all use the Kemetic duwa symbol in their prayers. But this temple also displays the Afrikan origins of many Masonic symbols. This is all documented in the Medu Neter. Unfortunately, because many Black people have become disconnected to our Afrikan history and culture through white supremacy, we can not see our legacy's impact on the world. More importantly, because we fail to connect to our Afrikan cultural traditions, particularly Afrikan Kemetic cultural traditions, we remain mentally oppressed in America and in the world. Without Afrikan history and culture as a foundation for Black liberation, we will continue to scatter all over the planet blindly following every word of our former slave masters and colonizers. As a consequence, we will continue to build a world for our oppressors. Without the knowledge of self centered on Kemet, and the Nile Valkey, we will struggle to build a world for ourselves free from our former slave masters and colonizers!!! Afrikan Kemetic culture and spirituality astonished Europeans and Arabs, but on another level, intimated them. For example, European leaders, such as Justinian and Theodosius, ordered the closing of all Afrikan Kemetic temples during 4th and 6th centuries A.D. under the Roman Christian Empire , so that no one will ever discover the Afrikan Kemetic origins of Christianity, the arts, and sciences. They even ordered the murdering of all Afrikan Kemetic high priests that taught the faith tradition of AmenRa and sciences of the mystery schools. The Arabs burned many temples. And the temples they did not burn, they used the blocks to construct cities under their domination such as Cairo. Europeans and Arabs even stole all the scrolls that taught Kemetic faith tradition and the sciences of the mystery schools. Even during Europe's Middle Ages, Christians monks plastered theirs faces over the Medu Neter to promote a fictitious myth that Christianity came from some place in the western world. But thank God our Afrikan ancestors created and wrote the Medu Neter. It has helped some of us study and understand the events of our Kemetic Afrikan history, culture, and spirituality. The Medu Neter is the oldest recorded written language in the history of the world. It has documented the story of Kemet's role in the origins of the world's civilizations and religions. It is all written in stone!!!!!! But I am moving forward. Although I have left Cairo and Giza days ago, I am now in upper Kemet (the southern region of Kemet) to study Kemet's contributions to the non-religious world. I did not come to Kemet to just study her spiritual foundation of the world's faith traditions. It is in Kemet's spiritual centers that the world's math, sciences, and the liberal arts were created. Kemetic schools and spirituality developed simultaneously. Kemetic people developed astronomy, papyrus (paper), written language, trigonometry, Algebra, agriculture, medicine, theology, architectural engineering, astrology, philosophy, embalming, art, geometry, physics, biology, literature, geography, anatomy, and archaeology. Afrikan Kemetic people called this section of the temple-The Mystery Schools. Kemet is Medu Neter for land of the Blacks.Again, I am in upper Kemet. The scenes of the temples are amazing. The southern part of Kemet is located in Nubia. This part of Kemet extends all the way down to the Sudan. BY THE WAY, THESE PICTURES ARE NOT PHOTO SHOPPED. THEY ARE FROM MY IPHONE CAMERA!!!!!!!!!! All of Kweisi's Arab Professors/guides bore witness on day one that Kemet is the root of the world's civilizations and religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Al-Islam).

After Europeans and Arabs invaded Kemet (Egypt), they began to change the name of the Medu Neter to Hieroglyphics.
