Book excerpt: The Egyptian civilization, which flourished along the banks of the Nile for about 3000 years, was one of the most extraordinary and enduring of the ancient world. Even today, after two thousand years since its setting, it continues to exert considerable charm. The Egyptians left many traces of their culture, thanks to the climate dry desert that has preserved over the centuries. The Sphinx and many pyramids, mummies, funerary masks, funerary decorations, the papyri, have thus been preserved from destruction, the common fate of many ancient remains. Egypt is in fact also known as the "gift of the Nile", because the flooding of the river deposited on the fields a layer of fertile silt, vital for the growth of crops. Already in prehistoric times, the first settlers learned to sow and plant their crops in the fields still covered by mud after the waters had receded. I collected, almost always abundant, they allowed that civilization to thrive and achieve a brilliance never known before. The ancient Egyptians called the fertile valley of the Nile kemet, "black earth", and themselves remet-en-kemet, "the people of the black earth", while the desert surrounding the town was said deshret, "red earth."

Book Synopsis Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet by : Frederick Monderson
Download or read book Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet written by Frederick Monderson and published by Sumon Publishers. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet is an updated and expanded work encompassing essays written over the last three decades covering a wide variety of subject matter on ancient Egypt/Kemet history and culture. The photographs and illustrations have been largely expanded. The illustrations include materials not readily available in regular scholarship, but serves a useful purpose in presenting myriad bits of this enormously voluminous and fascinating ancient Nile Valley culture. The photographs have been updated to include recent changes in the cultural geographic landscape of that wonderful historical experience blest by the sun and Nile River. The articles present an Introductory Survey of general interest topics while the illustrations and photographic images provide the "weight" that adds insightful and thought provoking "balance" to a presentation expressing the "new view" of Egypt. The Table of Contents - Africa; Cheikh Anta Diop; Culture for Liberation; The Fascination of Egyptian Architecture; The Egyptian Tomb; The Nile Valley in World Antiquity/History; The Priesthood; Sakkara; Upper Egypt/Kemet; The Temple of Isis at Philae; Thebes; Temple of Karnak: The Majestic Architecture of Ancient Kemet; The Temple of Luxor; Abydos; The Dance, Music and Musical Instruments; African Art; North Africa: Egypt, Kush; Time Measurement; Pharaonic Crowns, Names and Regalia; The Nile River; Kemetic Technology/Sciences; Warfare; Egyptian Medicine and the Sciences; The Conspiracy Against Ancient Egypt; Egypt as Black History; Great African Philosophers Teach; Senmut, Architect of Queen Hatshepsut; Egyptology; Black Egypt and the Struggle for Inclusion; Who Was Mentuhotep II; Queen of Sheba in Racial Portrait as Historical Distortion; The Wisdom of the Ancient Egyptians; The Pyramids; The Clerestory; Walls in Ancient Egyptian Temples and Tombs; The Blessing; References, Index; all demonstrate breadth and depth of subject matter covered and with the voluminous photographs and images, essentially relegated to "museum basements" that are hard to find except for the tenacity and unrelenting methods employed to ferret out these historical "nuggets" that chronicle the archaeological record of Ancient Egypt. The venerable and venerated Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan always admonished, "When doing research on ancient Egypt, get the oldest materials you can find!" Appropriately, the "old illustrations" justify this admonition. Thus, in identifying the very existence of such "old material through photographs," this work serves as a useful and indispensible tool for students, teachers and general readers. The changing nature of Egyptian history is such that one must have "all the information" to maintain a balanced understanding of a subject that for nearly two centuries has been grossly misrepresented. Egypt Essays on Ancient Kemet helps tip the balance towards objectivity providing students with useful insights in search for truth. That is, if "One photo is worth 1000 words, consider 600 such images equaling 600,000 words" of informative cultural wisdom that beckons come explore a rich cultural heritage. Remember, Diop argued, the ancient Egyptians were Negroes and that the Black reader will "discover that most of the ideas used today to domesticate, atrophy, dissolve, or steal his 'soul' were conceived by his own ancestors." To wit, "Pythagorean mathematics, the theory of the four elements of Thales of Miletus, Epicurean materialism, Platonic idealism, Judaism, Islam and modern sciences are rooted in Egyptian cosmogony and science." "Pierre Montet has just proved once again that "the Father of History did not lie." A retired NYC school teacher, an African historian and Egyptologist and student of esteemed Dr. Ben-Jochannan, Dr. Fred Monderson conducts tours to Egypt. Next Tour is July 11-25, 2014.

Book Synopsis Ancient Spiritual Mystery Teachings of Kemet ( Ancient Egypt) by : Simon Starr
Download or read book Ancient Spiritual Mystery Teachings of Kemet ( Ancient Egypt) written by Simon Starr and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoth, Hermes or Djehuty as this book refers to him is a mythical ancient Egyptian (Kemetian) sage whose wisdom is said to have transformed him into a god. Djehuty, who was venerated in Kemet from at least 3000 B.C.E., is credited with the invention of sacred hieroglyphic writing and his figure, portrayed as a scribe with the head of an Ibis, can be seen in many temples and tombs. He is the dispatcher of divine messages and recorder of all human deeds. In the great hall of judgement, the after-life court of the god Asar (Osiris) where the dead are judged, Djehuty would establish whether the deceased had acquired spiritual knowledge and purity, and so deserved a place in Heaven. Djehuty was said to have revealed to the Kemetians (Ancient Native Egyptians) all knowledge on astronomy, architecture, engineering, botany, geometry, medicine and religion, land surveying, and was believed by the ancient Greeks to be the architect of the pyramids. The Greeks, who were in awe of the knowledge and spirituality of the Kemetians, depicted him through their narrow view of the mysteries as Hermes, the messenger of the gods and guider of souls in the realm of the dead. To distinguish the Kemetian Djehuty, from their own, the Greeks referred to him using the title "Trismegistus," meaning Thrice Great, to honor his sublime wisdom. The remnants of the wisdom of Djehuty have been passed on in texts mistakenly referred to today as the Hermetica. Although largely unknown today, the writings attributed to Djehuty have been immensely important in the history of Western thought. They profoundly influenced the Greeks and, through their rediscovery in the fifteenth- century Florence helped to inspire the " Renaissance" which gave birth to our modern age. The list of people who have acknowledged a debt to the wisdom of the Scribe of the gods reads like a "Who's Who" of greatest philosophers, scientists and artists that the West has produced- Leonardo da Vinci, Durer, Botticelli, Roger Bacon, Paracelcus, Thomas More, William Blake, Kepler, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Sir Walter Raleigh, Milton, Ben Johnson, Daniel Defoe, Shelley, Victor Hugo and Carl Jung. It heavily influenced Shakespeare, John Donne, John Dee and all the poet philosophers who surrounded the court of Queen Elizabeth I, as well as the founding scientists of the Royal Society in London, and even the leaders who inspired the Protestant reformation in Europe. The list is endless with the Djehuty's influence reaching well beyond the frontiers of Europe. Islamic mystics and philosophers also trace their inspiration back to the Scribe of the gods, and the esoteric tradition of the Jews equated him with their mysterious prophet Enoch. The Hermetica, as Djehuty's works are referred to today act like a cornerstone of Western Culture. In substance and importance it is equal to well known eastern scriptures like Upanishads, the Dhammapada and the Tao Te Ching. Yet unlike these texts which are readily available and widely read, the works of Djehuty have been lost under the dead weight of academic translations, Christian prejudice and occult obscurities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Magisterial . . . [A] rich portrait of ancient Egypt’s complex evolution over the course of three millenniums.”—Los Angeles Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly In this landmark volume, one of the world’s most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its absorption into the Roman Empire. Drawing upon forty years of archaeological research, award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us inside a tribal society with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human emotions. Here are the legendary leaders: Akhenaten, the “heretic king,” who with his wife Nefertiti brought about a revolution with a bold new religion; Tutankhamun, whose dazzling tomb would remain hidden for three millennia; and eleven pharaohs called Ramesses, the last of whom presided over the militarism, lawlessness, and corruption that caused a political and societal decline. Filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a riveting and revelatory work of wild drama, bold spectacle, unforgettable characters, and sweeping history. “With a literary flair and a sense for a story well told, Mr. Wilkinson offers a highly readable, factually up-to-date account.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Wilkinson] writes with considerable verve. . . . [He] is nimble at conveying the sumptuous pageantry and cultural sophistication of pharaonic Egypt.”—The New York Times
