Brothers and Sisters as Black History Continues
Egypt made many contributions to civil civilizations, divine kinship and a strong spiritual heritage. In time Egypt develop into a separate nation in its own rank. Egypt was a nation who laid down the foundations for world civilizations, but most importantly a nation who really laid down the foundations for the roots of black history and culture.
Egypt’s greatest legacy remains with us today, the architecture, the science, the agriculture, the language, the legal system, the pyramids, the pharaohs, and the queen’s are the great heritage of black people everywhere and has influenced civilizations around the world. There seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn at that remote time in history the leading race of people in the western world was a black race.
I would be remiss, if I did not include the Black African woman as a part of our great purpose as the people of GOD and our awareness in Black History. Black women has effectively weathered the storm of being raped, abuse, exploited, demoralized and discouraged but never the less was the key component of our struggles to become a people with a great history, a pronounced connection to our great past and or that link back to Mother Africa..
Some of my critics may differ little bit however let us explore for a moment of the importance of THE BLACK WOMAN. Long before the Bible, Tora or Quran, the black woman was on the scene. Lets turn to the Black woman in our pre-history or in ancient times. We can briefly trace her steps from the cradle of civilization in Africa, Europe, Western Asia, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, the Pacific islands and even the early new world. In Africa, where the record of the black woman achievements is very profound and longstanding.
For many years Anthropologist, paleontologists and other scientists have focused on the continent of Africa for a source of discovery of the human race, the human family. Some the most important discoveries was the human fossil and some of the oldest fossils was founded in Northeast Africa. The Black Woman is known as the origin of mother, fertility, goddess, queen Mother and the lady of the Nile.
To introduce the saga of Black Women into world history we first focused on Isis or as the Egyptians call her “Aset" who becomes to represent the most-highest form of motherhood, beauty and virtue.
Goddess of Death and Rebirth:
After Set murdered and dismembered Osiris, Isis used her magic and power to bring her husband back to life. The realms of life and death are often associated with both Isis and her faithful sister Nephthys, who are depicted together on coffins and funerary texts. They are usually shown in their human form, with the addition of the wings that they used to shelter and protect Osiris.
Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood:
In addition to being the fertile wife of Osiris, Isis is honored for her role as the mother of Horus, one of Egypt's most powerful gods. She was also the divine mother of every pharoah of Egypt, and ultimately of Egypt itself. She assimilated with Hathor, another goddess of fertility, and is often depicted nursing her son Horus. There is a wide belief that this image served as inspiration for the classic Christian portait of the Madonna and Child.
In that story you have so many profound concepts you have brother killing another brother, Cain and Abel. You have the story of the Immaculate Conception, the virgin birth. You have the story of the resurrection rising from the dead. And you even have our story of divine compassion. Isis is very profound, in ancient times she becomes the most powerful goddess there was.
With that said, there are some more similarities of the story said to inspired long before, The Christian Bible or The Quran Thousands of years before, these stories was being told by the Black Man about the Black Woman. The Black Woman Ruled and was the power behind the many pharaoh throughout ancient History.
I still got more research to go about the Black Women in History as this Black History Blog continues.
The Black Woman has played a role in the worlds history and not just Americas history.
