The meaning of Feathers

                                        The meaning of Feathers!
                                 This topic is dedicated to a blog member! 

Feathers have a universal meaning. When studying symbolism feathers mean truth!

The earliest use of feathers is by Africans. Most of these customs come from the interior of African, then spread to Ethiopia and then Egypt/ Kemet.

Some of the earliest depictions of feather use is by Ethiopians! You will see the one feather on top of the head. Many of the meanings and origins of Ancient Ethiopian culture have not been translated yet. The majority of Ancient Ethiopian culture lays at the bottom of the Aswan dam.

So many of our definitions come from Kemet, but many of the origins are not stated because they are adopted from the Ethiopian Osiris belief system.

Feathers are in heavy use in Ancient Kemetic culture. The first primary use of feathers is in the symbolism of weighting of the heart! The heart is weighted against the feather to show that it is pure in all intentions and deeds!

The next place you probably notice feathers is the crown of Osiris/ Ausar, called the Atef. This is a double feathered crown. This means he is designated to rule and has Kingship over his people as a living God/ Deity!

Isis/ Auset has a single feather in her crown. This means she is designated to rule and has Queenship over her people as a living Goddess/ Deity! Auset is dressed in feathers, it has something to do with divine? Not sure exactly?

The feather of Ma- at represents truth, justice, morality and balance. When the feather was given to the new King/ Pharaoh it represented all those things in his rule!

Horus/ Heru was given the winged solar disk by Thoth/ Tehuti to show his divine rule and defeat of the evil King Seth. Heru is also depicted with a hawk head, meaning that he soars high in sky next to the sun! In ancient Kemet, men used hawks/ falcons to hunt, like men use dogs today. So these pet hawks were consider mans best friends. Symbolizing Heru as mans best friend!

The another culture that used feathers a lot were Native Americans {Indians}.

*Tip
The feather and symbolism gives away a common belief which is a lie! Of the origins of America. The belief of the Red-man, Indian or Native American were first in the Americas. {this topic is already on blog/ search archives}

The short version of the truth. African descendants the Olmecs taught and gave culture to the Mayans! The Mayan religion is based off Egyptian/ Kemetic belief system, once you learn universal symbolism. {the feathered serpent}

The Mayan then spread and gave this culture to others nations in the Americas. This why you will see mostly all Native American Nations use a feathered head dress to represent the King/ Chief. The Chief headdress is molded off of Osiris/ Ausar. That he is the truth under the divine principles of Ma-at, and can rule his people under his divine Kingship like Ausar.

**Tip

Europeans also adopted the feather when they came to the Americas, only legal documents could be signed with a feather symbolizing they were the truth!

President Obama and American History

                                   President Obama and American History


Monday, January 21st 2013 was a historical day in the United States of America.

Not only did we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. birthday as a national holiday, but the Inauguration ceremony for President Barrack Obama!

This was a great day of celebration for African- Americans! To be able to celebrate to African- American leaders on the same day!

The equality MLK was fighting for in America, is represented by President Obama. That was great to see MLK dream speech and vision, open the door for a Black President!

We at know thy self 11, want to really thank both these great Black leaders!
Thank you, Martin Luther King Jr and President Barrack Obama!

We at know thy self 11 and our members enjoy enriching our lives through learning about self, which results in the learning about the universe!

On that note, I would like to leave with two (2) more great men that set the pace for Mlk and President Obama.

One of the greatest Black civil rights and civil liberty leader we have ever had was David Walker (1796 - 1830).

The next is our 1st. Black President John Hanson from 1781 - 1783

*Tip
There will be a lot of confusion on the color and race of John Hanson! This is because John Hanson was biracial, just like President Obama!
This is so embarrassing to America because of their treatment and hatred of Black Africans, that a Black African set-up and formed this country and government and lead the fight to Independence against the British King!
Not the general George Washington! All generals answer to the King or President of their country!

George Washington was actually the 8th President of the United States!

**Tip
Just because a country amends, alter or change their constitutions that does not change the country name or past history!
Plus the Articles of the Confederation and the perpetual union can not stop or be supersede as long as this country is called the United States of America!

perpetual: means. never ending or changing

Origins of Life in Africa pt 1

                                                       Origins of Life in Africa

This topic was taken from our study group class, cultural awareness. We learned and discuss creation stories of the bible and Torah.

We discussed what essential, might be need to create life? Water and amino acids and abundance and variety of minerals. Food and shelter. Where would this be at in Africa? There are three (3) main theories where life may have started in Africa Southern, Eastern and Northern Africa.

The first theory is Southern Africa {Botswana, Zambia, Angola, Zambia and Zimbabwe}. Some scholars believe life started here? There is some fresh water in this area, but to many droughts occur here. There are hardly enough trees to support shelter and fire wood. These means this environment would be to hot and dry for early man, combined with no shelter from predators in the wild.

The second theory is Northern Africa {Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan and Ethiopia}. The Sahara desert is now there but before the last ice age 10,000 years ago the Sahara was a wet and topical land. There was a river than ran through the area called Sahel. As Europe cooled off the Northern winds stop, and no rain came.

Sahel: mean. Arabic- coast or shore/ word originally came Libya!

With not enough evidence because of the desert we can not say yes or no? But a strong possibility!

The third theory is one of the more commonly excepted theories about life starting. Eastern Africa {Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya} area, it has everything  need for life in abundance. Fresh water on the Nile coming from Lake Victoria. There would be large amounts of food for eating. Trees and caves for shelter from the elements and predators!

But most of all there is a abundance of amino acids, minerals and salts to build and maintain life. These are called soda {alkaline} lakes. Due to the many volcanoes! The large lakes or inland seas could help life out.

These lakes are probably the key to life start?

In part two (2) we will discuss other important factors?

Origins of life in Africa pt2

This is a continuation from pt1 of this topic. This was part of the study group in class Saturday, January 26, 2013.

We discuss three (3) main theories where life could have started in Africa and why?
In Kemetic studies we going in deeper into African roots and history mean of us are going into Ethiopia and the interior of Africa.

With this study of interior of Africa dates are not line up correctly nor making in logical sense. The main reason is the holders of the information are liars! Europeans have lied for their own cause which has hamper and stop a progressive science move all together!

These are some reason I explained to the class that will help with the incorrect dating of humans and earth!

First Europeans were the last people on earth to develop a culture, due to being land locked by ice until the last ice age 10,000 years ago. So for the most part they know every little about human and world history!

Secondly Europeans jealousy of Africans, often "called racism" has blind them to many of the facts and clues to our origins!

I will use a example, because I do not want to become a basher of Europeans, I just want them to look at the damage that is being done to all of us, because of their racism!

example:
If you want to know something about your personal family or your human family, you go to the oldest living member in your family and ask them what they know, and start your research from that.
European take what they learn from each other, and because that everybody else information is discredit simple because they are not European or White!

The simple fact is human and world history is much older than Europeans are admitting and release to the general public. Humans are every old, but if you go by evolution we are not at all?
In Africa in Southern Africa and in the country of South Africa in the Blombos Caves. Human remains have been found that are 75,000 to 175,000 years ago!

This blows everything apart far as dates because humans supposedly only stated culture 10,000 to 15,000 years ago? So how were these early humans in South Africa buring their dead with artifacts/ beads and jewelry if there was no culture then?

One answer I personally pose is that there are six (6) main geological time periods in the history of the world, this is caused by mass extinction and starting of a new dominant spices of life {plants, reptiles or mammals}.

During these mass extinction what if some type or form of humans or humanoid lived, but was destroyed with other life on earth expect small pockets of people like a family, group or tribe?

Now you have these small pockets of humans scattered across Africa? Each group would grow and populate do to certain factors such as water, food and shelter. Along with stable and predictable weather patterns.

This could help explain such old fossil and artifacts in the Blombos Caves in South Africa?

Women Section: Hyptia

Women History Month/ Hyptia

Hyptia was a woman that lived in Ancient Egypt during Roman occupation of Egypt. This period is known as the end of the classic period of Ancient Egypt.

*Tip
Classic period: is a time frame when science and arts flourish in a culture.

Hyptia was said to be Greek, but some suggest she was bi-racial of Greek and Egyptian {African} blood. Hyptia lived between 335 to 405? She was the head of the Platonist school in Egypt, were she taught philosophy and astronomy. She was noted for her works in mathematics.

She is known as the first recorded woman of mathematics in history? She was known to be active about her political views. Which at the time would have been about the Counsel of Nicaea and the Bishops of Alexandra. {The Christian Bible as we know it today}

It was said she was killed by a mob of Christian {monks}, because of her political views.

This is another tragedy, the attack of women since Greeks times.

**Tip
It must be consider, it was the European Jews/ non- Hebrews and Greeks that insulted a alpha male as a God. From this point forward women have been losing rights and their value in society. If a person is consider second in life, even the value of that persons life becomes secondary!

We thank Hyptia for her beliefs and views, even if her views differ from my personal views greatly!
