Perhaps later, I may put together a brief timeline with regard to afrikan existence.

But until then, these clips do a good job of putting in perspective just how far back the afrikan goes.

Where was adam during the epoch of the sphinx and the afrikan civilization responsible for creating the statue?

Ah yes: "4022 BC Adam created"

Perhaps there were some serious editorial work being done to the book of genesis...

The oldest known sculpture of a human figure found in the Munhu Mutapa empire

15000 b.c.e:
an understanding of constellations "astrology" (leading to the introduction of mans' first calendar)

12000 b.c.e: Sebelian II ruled pre-dynastic kmt

10000 b.c.e:
the sphinx

8000 b.c.e: Sebelian III ruled pre-dynastic kmt

Good stuff.

I don't recall ever hearing (or reading) about the Semliki Harpoon. In short, this is new information for me.
thanks

And also,

This only adds to the fact that woman and man were living and doing long before adam (and eve) and that our story, our existence, do not begin in iraq.

Not just black people, but humanity in general.

I have read somewhere that menes created or built memphis and was the first dynastic ruler to unify all of the nile valley civilizations (kmt).

As to the date.

I've seen similar dates of 3 thousand and 'something' with regard to memphis, depending on what "authority" one wants to go with.

fro The reported date for Menes regime is 2920-2770 [the 1st Dynasty]. This era is also called the Early Dynastic Period-which is the beginning of patriarchal rule of Egypt[Kmt] civilization...making Menes, the first residing Pharoah-which he appointed himself, by the way.

I thought the beginning of Menes' reign started around 3100BC.

I think they're trying to shorten the years and discredit the ancient Egyptians.

fro @Huey....white Egyptologists DON'T really know the exact time of Menes. And so we have all these dates. However, the reason for that is whenever a regime took over...most times the new ruler ALWAYS defaced the hieroglpyhics of the usurped ruler as if the former NEVER existed. And sometimes the new ruler even replaced the old face with the new face[his]...and claim it as his own. That's why a lot of Egyptian art/drawings [especially those on the walls] are shown with no faces or heads are missing etc. That's how it was done during those times. Just like how our history of intelligence was usurped by the European. He took all the credit....and didn't do a damn thang to earn it! fro

fro Hey Sista K. Egyptian predynastic period was ruled by the matriarchal i.e. goddesses/women ruled and were worshipped. For example: Isis, The Hathors, Bess, Mut, etc. The Dynastic era was the beginning of the pariarchal period in which Menes [men] i.e the 1st Pharoah [the original son of God theory] ruled. fro

According to Dr. Ben's "Africa: Mother of Western Civilization", he states that menes came on the the scene somewhere around 3200-2980 b.c.e. page 308

However, In John G. Jackson's "God, Man, & Civilization", he states (that according to manetho), that menes came to the throne in 5776 b.c.e. page 220

I believe that when it comes to egypt (and other civilizations of antiquity), for the most part, some folks are "shifty" with the dates for they don't want to conflict or contradict the genesis story.

There are many dates put before us with regard to afrika and its people. To, me it shows that afrikans and many of their societies/civilizations are extremely old. Extremely -old. Much older than ca. 4022 b.c.e. and ultimately, that is the case that I am making.

You are right.

No one wants to get nose-to-nose with either Christianity, or Islam.

Sarah and Haggar.

Abraham and Genesis.

The benchmarks of religion do not coincide with the benchmarks of history.

Clearly, the antiquity of history engulfs the timeframe of the religious records
