Stolen Legacy - Part 2

"Aristole died in 322 B. C. not many years after he had been aided by Alexander the Great to secure the LARGEST quantity of SCIENTIFIC books from the Royal Libraries and Temples of Egypt. In spite however of such great intellectual treasure, the death of Aristotle marked the DEATH of philosophy among the Greeks, who did not seem to possess the NATURAL ability to advance these sciences. Consequently history informs us that the Greeks were forced to make a study of Ethics, which they also BORROWED from the Egyptian "Summum Bonum" or greatest good. The two other Athenian philosophers must be mentioned here, I mean Socrates and Plato; who also became famous in history as philosophers and great thinkers. Every school boy believes that when he hears or reads the command "Know Thyself," he is hearing or reading words which were uttered by Socrates. But the TRUTH is that the Egyptian Temples carried inscriptions on the outside addressed to Neophytes and among them them was the injunction "know thyself." Socrates COPIED these words from the Egyptian Temples, and was NOT the author. All mystery temples, inside and ouside of Egypt carried such inscriptions, just like the weekly bulletins of our modern churches.

Similarly, every school boy believes that when he hears or reads the names of the FOUR cardinal virtues, he is hearing or reading names of the virtues determined by Plato. Nothing has been more MISLEADING, for the Egyptian Mystery System contained TEN VIRTUES and from this source Plato COPIED what have been called the FOUR cardinal virtues: justice, wisdom, temperance and courage. It is indeed surprising how, for CENTURIES, the GREEKS have been PRAISED by the Western World for intellectual accomplishments which BELONG without a doubt to the EGYPTIANS or the peoples of North Africa.

Another noticeable characteristic of Greek philospher is the fact that the most of the Greek philosophers used the teachings of Pythagoras as their model; and consequently they have introduced nothing new in the field of philosophy. Included in the Pythagorean system we find the doctrines of (a) Oppposites, (b) Harmony, (c) Fire, (d) Mind, since the it is composed of fire atoms, (e ) Immorality, expressed as transmigration of Souls, (f) The Summum Bonum or the purpose of philosophy. Aand these of course are reflected in the systems of Heraclitus, Parmendies, Democritus, Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

The next thing that is peculiar about Greek philosophy is its use in LITERATURE. The Egyptian Mystery was the FIRST SECRET ORDER of HISTORY and the publication of its teachings was strictly prohibited. This explains WHY Initiates like Socrates did not commit to writing their philosophy and why the Babylonians and Chaldaeans who were closely associated with them also refrained from publishing those teachings.

We can at once see how EASY it was for an ambitious and even ENVIOUS nation to claim a body of unwritten knowledge which would make them GREAT in the eyes of the PRIMITIVE world. The absurdity however, is easily recognized when we remember that the Greeks language was used to translate several systems of teachings which the Greeks could NOT succeed in claiming. Such were the translation of Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, called the Septuagint; and the translation of the Christian Gospels, Acts, and the Epistle in Greek, still called the Greek New Testament. It is only the unwritten philosophy of the Egyptians translated into Greek that has met with such an unhappy fate: a STOLEN LEGACY by the Greeks.

On an account of reasons already given, I have been compelled to handle subject matter of this book, in the way it has been handled; namely (a) with a frequency of repetition, because it is the method of Greek philosophy, to use common principle to explain several different doctrines and (b) the quotation and analysis of doctrines, because it is the object of this book to establish the Egyptian Origin and this cannot be so satisfactorily done if the doctrines are not presented. Greek philosophy is somewhat of a DRAMA, whose chief actors were Alexander the Greek, Aristotle and his successor in the peripatetic school and the Roman Emperor Justinian. Alexander INVADED Egypt [well after its decline] and captured the Royal Library at Alexendria and PLUNDERED it. Aristotle made a library of his own with plundered books, which his school occupied the building and used it as a research centre. Finally, Justinian the Roman Emperor abolished the Temples and schools of philosophy i.e. another name for the Egyptian Mysteries which the Greek claimed as their product and on account of which, they have been FALSELY praised and HONORED for CENTURIES by the world, as its greatest philosophers and great thinkers. This CONTRIBUTION to civilization was really MADE by the EGYPTIANS and the AFRICAN CONTINENT. We sometimes wonder why the people of African descent find themselves in such a social plight as they do, but the answer is plain enough. Had it not been for this drama of Greek philosopy and its actors, the African Continent would have had a different reputation and would have enjoyed a status of respect [as it used to] among nations of the world. This unfortunate position of the African Continent and its PEOPLES appears to be the result of MISPRESENTATION upon which the structure of race prejudic has been built i.e. the HISTORICAL WORLD OPINION that the African Continent is BACKWARD, that is PEOPLE is BACKWARD, and that their CIVILIZATION is also BACKWARD."

The way the greeks stole things remind
me of the way whites plagiarized
the 10 commandments. It shows
the plagiarized white version of the
10 commandments and then the original
African version side by side. That's
in the book "Blacked Out through
Whitewash. Thank you sista Koco.
