A Stolen Legacy – blatant intellectual theft of African heritage

In one of his lecture Dr John Hendrik Clarke called on Global Africans

• To regain its self-confidence and start to re write its own history and re-educate its young black generation the correct history of Africa in order to equip them with knowledge to compete at global stage with confidence know that they came from a race that brought civilisation to the World.

A push for new African history curriculum to be taught from primary school to tertiary level in all countries in black Africa

It is the aim of Get-Africa-United.Org under our Sister Charity – Heritage Foundation Africa to propose to SADC & African Union for the creation of a new African History curriculum ( that we create for review and adoption ) to Re-Educate, and Re-Conscientise young black generations with the aim to de-colonise, De-Racialise, De-Westernise or De-Europeanise African educational system especially the African history.

A stolen legacy – blatant intellectual theft of African heritage

Dr John Hendrik Clarke once said that

1. The cruellest thing SLAVERY & COLONIALISM did to the Africans was to destroy their memory of what they were before foreign contact.

Alexander the Greek Liar

1. When Alexander the Greek Liar came into Africa, one of the Greatest myths and lies in history is that he was reported to have burned the Alexander Library in Egypt.
2. The truth is that instead of burning the Libraries he stole all the books and sent them home to Aristotle who rewrote a lot of them and put his name on them.

Plagiarism from African Ancient Kemet writings.

1. What people today think is Aristotle’s writing is Plagiarism from African writings in Ancient Kemet.
2. All the basis for modern knowledge in mathematics, science, astrology, medicine, astrology etc where manuscripts written in papyrus stolen from Ancient Kemet present day Egypt.
3. The greatest crime Europe committed against the world is the blatant intellectual theft of Africa’s heritage.
4. African Empires were stolen, a whole territory and its inhabitant snatched and named after rapists, murderers, pirates, and swindlers.
5. African Palaces and monumental edifices and precious items were destroyed and looted by drunken White Soldiers.

Greek lies and arrogance of Europe

1. The lie that Greece invented philosophy, the Arts, and the Sciences is the only basis on which the arrogance of Europe stands today.
2. It is those false and lies credited to the Greeks that made every European believe himself superior to other people and races.
3. The Greek Boys Pythagoras, Aristotle, Alexander the Great Greek Liar, and other looted the Ancient Egypt manuscripts written by own black ancestors in Kemet (Present day Egypt), plagiarised the works and claim it their own.

Dr John Henrik Clarke once said that

1. Black people today should ask themselves what course would the history of the world have taken if the European scholars had not FALSELY claimed for the Greeks what is certainly not theirs?
2. Would the arrogance of Europeans not have been diminished if the truth about the contribution of Africa to human civilization have been correctly stated and interpreted?
3. Would Africans be cringing at the altar of westernism if they know that almost every idea Europeans are using today was brazenly stolen from their own Ancestors  ?
4. Would the Africans be supplicating to a supposed Son of an imaginary God if we knew that we gave RELIGION to the world.

The drive to remove colonial style school curriculum in African education

Colonial Style History in African school curriculum

1. Africans were and are still not taught in any detail the pre-colonial history of the continent. The curriculum was carefully designed to hide any historical facts.
2. Historical facts recorded even by moderate European historians who witnessed first-hand the Glorious African advanced civilisation while Europe was still emerging from the Ice age, is still hidden in the African colonial history being taught in Africa up to the present day.

Europe Greece crawled back out of its first dark age around 800BC

1. Europe Greece began to crawl back out of its first dark age around 800 B.C.
2. Kemet (Ancient Egypt) had already entered its 22nd Dynasty.
3. Greeks resumed the practice of sending its students to Kemet to learn and retrieve the knowledge by 700 B.C.
4. large Greek communities became permanent fixtures in Kemetic cities in Africa.

All Well Known Greeks Who are Studied and Revered in School Curricula World Over today – Studied at the Feet of Kemetic Black Scholars in Ancient Egypt.

1. The Greek St. Clement of Alexandria, once said that if you were to write a book of 1,000 pages, you would not be able to put down the names of all the Greeks who went to Kemet to be educated.
2. Even those who did not tried to claim they did because it was prestigious.

Below are some of the Greeks who studied in Ancient Egypt

• PLATO
• Who founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. He studied at the Temple of Waset for 11 years.

• ARISTOTLE
• Who tutored Alexander the Great Liar and is wrongly credited with being the first scientist in history. He studied at Kemet for 11-13 years.
• SOCRATES
• Who is credited as the Father of Western philosophy, studied in Kemet for 15 years.

• PYTHOGORAS
• Who is credited as being the Father of numerology and has a mathematical theorem that is still taught in schools today that bears his name. He studied in Kemet for 22 years.

• HYPOCRATES
• Who is wrongly credited as the Father of Medicine. He studied in Kemet for 20 years- The REAL FATHER OF MEDICINE IS THE BLACK AFRICAN MULTI GENIUS IMHOTEP –
• Google the Papyrus of medicine – Tables of Anceint Egyptian Medical Papyri it gives a brief outlook of the history of medicine and all of them pre dates the birth of Hypocrates by 1000s of years ( Hypocrates born 460BCE Island of Cos Greece -died 375 BC, Larissa ,Thessaly ) .
• Some of these Ancient Kemet Medical Papyri dates back to eg Ebers Papyrus 3400BCE Edwin Smith Papyrus 3000-2500BCE. Thousands of years before the Greek Boys like Hypocrates were born .

• DIODORUS
• The Historian matriculated at the Waset Ancient Kemet.

• SOLON
• Known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece, matriculated at Waset Ancient Kemet.

• THALES
• The first Greek philosopher, matriculated at Waset Ancient Kemet.

• EURIPIDES
• Matriculated at Waset Ancient Kemet Thebes

As Dr John Hendrik Clarke said that all the great names of  yester-year Western academia sat at the feet of Black men and women who had mastered the subject matter material a thousand years in advance.

Minoan civilisation – early European civilisation.

1. The early Minoans were raised from illiteracy by the writing of Kemet.
2. As early as 1500 BC, the Minoan Civilization – the first civilization in Europe –send their students to learn at the feet of the Black Men and Women of Kemet.

Evolution of Greek writing systems.

1. The hieroglyphic system of writing ( Ancient Black Egyptian writing ) was adopted and evolved into the famous Linear A and Linear B writing systems that would become Greek letters.
2. The Minoan Civilization flourished until a volcanic eruption destroyed the island of Crete, and with it the Minoan Civilization.

Europe slid back into darkness, savagery and illiteracy for almost a thousand years.

1. After this most of Europe slid back into darkness, savagery, and illiteracy for almost a thousand years.

All Well Known Greeks Who are Studied and Revered in School Curricula World Over today – Studied at the Feet of Kemetic Black Scholars in Ancient Egypt.

MATHEMATICS

1. In the 3rd Century, a Greek named EUCLID moved to Alexandria to study math.
2. After a 10 year long stay, he would return to Greece to publish a plagiarized version of what he learned – earning him the UNDESERVED TITLE OF THE FATHER OF GEOMETRY .
3. Existed around 300BCE – How can he be Father of Geometry when all his plagiarised publication was already covered in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus around 1550BCE approximately 1200 years before he was Born.
4. The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus acquired by a Scottish Lawyer A.H Rhind hence the name resides currently in the British museum robbed from Africa.

EUCLID textbook, Elements, still serves as one of the main textbooks for teaching mathematics in the world today.

EUCLID was not the only one who robbed Kemet of her mathematical contributions to humanity.

One Whiteman in particular went above and beyond to take credit for what was taught to him from Ancient Egypt – Archimedes

ARCHIMEDES.

1. The Greek ARCHIMEDES is generally considered to be the greatest mathematicians of all time.
2. He is credited with the very important discovery of the numerical value of pi, the principles of leverage, and inventing the so-called “Archimedes Screw”.

Archimedes and his so-called discovery of numerical of Pi —- a lie

1. Archimedes stole his so-called discoveries from the texts he studied in Kemet .
2. The Rhind Papyrus -approx 1550- 1650BCE gives us insight into the mathematics of Ancient Egypt.
3. The Eygptians calculated the area of a circle by a formula that gave the approximate value of 3.1605 for Pi.
4. Archimedes stole the idea and did his so called ” first ” calculation of Pi in ( 287-212BCE) almost 1300 years after the Ancient Egyptians had already calculated it. ( Rhind Mathematical Papyrus ).

In his must-read book Civilization or Barbarism, Cheikh Anta Diop wrote:

“…Archimedes did not even have the excuse of an honest scholar who would rediscover an established theorem, without knowing that it had been discovered thousand and so years before him by his Kemetic predecessors.

1. The other “borrowings” in which he indulged himself during and after his trip to Kemet, without ever citing the sources of his inspiration, show clearly that he was perfectly conscious of his sin, and that hereby he was being faithful to a Greek tradition of plagiarism.”
2. The Romans, who had less contact with the Kemetians, have contributed practically nothing to the exact sciences, geometry in particular.”

Kemetians – true originators of the mathematical formulas.

1. Black people discovered mathematical formulas for determining cylindrical surface values two millennia before Archimedes.
2. Archimedes failed to truly discover pi, whereas the scholars of Kemet had discovered the value as early as 3,000 B.C.

Mathematical papyrus.

1. We know this thanks to a mathematical papyrus ( Rhind Mathematical papyrus ) that was written around 1700 B.C.
2. It contains reference tables and a collection of 20 arithmetic and 20 algebraic problems.
3. The problems start out with simple fractional expressions, followed by completion (sekhem) problems and more involved linear equations (aha problems).

According to Cheik Anta Diop – in his Book Civilisation or Barbarism

1. In the opening paragraphs of the papyrus, written in hieratic it presents the papyrus as giving “Accurate and thorough study of all things and insight into all that exists, the knowledge of all things, mysteries…all secrets.”
2. This book was copied in regnal year 33, month 4 of Akhet, under the majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Kemet, Awserre, given life, from an ancient copy made in the time of the King of Upper and Lower Kemet Nimaatre.
3. Ahmes was the Ancient Egyptian Scribe who wrote The Mathematical Papyrus , he lived towards the end of the 15th dynasty and beginning of 18th d.ynasty born around 1660BCE

Problems 41 – 46 of the papyrus

1. Show how to find the volume of both cylindrical and rectangular based granaries.

In problem 41

1. The scribe computes the volume of a cylindrical granary. Given the diameter (d) and the height (h), the volume V is given by: In modern mathematical notation (and using d = 2r) this clearly equals the quotient 256/81 approximates the value of pi as being ca. 3.1605.

Archimedes, however, failed to discover pi.

Cheikh Anta Diop writes: “Archimedes does not explicitly calculate the value of 3.1416 (the value of pi).

1. Archimedes shows that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter lies between 3.1/7 and 3.10/71.
2. The next best approximation was found by the Babylonians, and their calculation was (incorrectly) a whole number (3) or else 3.8!

Engineering

Archimedes is credited with saying “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.”

The people of the Nile knew this already.

1. The people of the Nile not only knew the power of the lever, but they also used them in both simple and complex ways.
2. Levers like the shadoof, a lever with unequal arms, was used to raise heavy building blocks, and to water gardens.
3. This is the lever that Archimedes claimed would allow him to lift the world.

Archimedes published a treatise entitled ” On the Equilibrium of Planes or of Their Centre of Gravity ” – which would deal with the equilibrium of a lever.

1. But once again, his treatise was a useless plagiarism of a problem that Kemet had already solved more than 2,000 years before Archimedes was born.
2. It should be noted that while Kemet used this technology for peaceful purposes, Archimedes used it to create weapons of war.

One of his other great claims – the ‘Archimedes Screw’ – predates Greek history and was old news by the time Archimedes came along.

Again, Cheikh Anta Diop writes:

1. “…Archimedes would not invent the continuous screw, the spiral, in Sicily, but during a trip to Egypt where this screw was invented, evidently, centuries before the birth of Archimedes.”
2. ….Euclid of Alexandria was a Greek mathematician who is often referred to as the “Father of Geometry,” was as much a fake as Archimedes.

Second Kemet Mathematical papyru.

1. A second Kemet papyrus ( Egyptian ) , the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (called Moscow because a Russian bought the manuscripts).
2. It has calculation of the surface area of a hemisphere which requires extensive and mature knowledge of geometry.

 You can read more about this eg the “Example of calculating a basket” and ” calculation of the volume of a Frustum- the portion of a cone or pyramid which remain after its upper part has been cutt off by a plane parallel to its base etc google the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus for more detailed information.

All these solutions to the problems indicates that the scholars of Kemet knew the correct formulas for solving all these complex mathematical problems before the Greek Boys were born .

In addition to the above, the mathematical papyri shows us that the scholars of Kemet were both intimate with algebra and knew how to rigorously calculate the square root, irrational numbers, the so-called Pythagorean theorem, the quadrature of a circle, trigonometry (used to calculate the slope of a pyramid using sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent), and the surfaces of triangles, circles, rectangles, and trapezium.

Remember this is all 2000 + years before the White, so-called Father of Geometry was even born

The key takeaway is this

1. From early in education, the world is taught that western civilization originated everything of value to the world.
2. Not only is this untrue, but it should be said that the West learned everything they knew of value from Africa.

African proverb – Those who know should teach.
