The African Origin of Islam, Jews, Agriculture, God, and civilization -

[Blackking]

If you are going to integrate Central Asia into your history, you can absolutely integrate sub-Saharan Africa into your history. You just can't talk about the Indian Ocean unless you talk about eastern Africa. And you can't talk about Mediterranean history unless you know what's going on in West Africa. You can't talk about the Red Sea and the Middle East unless you're talking about Ethiopia actually, for the Middle East, you need West Africa and East Africa too. If you're doing world history, you need to connect up all these places.

people who do world history usually begin with the origins of agriculture. There are at least seven or eight maybe eleven to thirteen world regions which independently invented agriculture. None in Europe, by the way. One, of course, is in the Middle East, and many people still believe that this was the first, from which all the others developed. The idea of diffusion from the Middle East still lingers.
That idea really can't be sustained.
You have, for instance, one independent invention of agriculture in East Asia, maybe two. You have it more widely accepted now that there's an independent invention of agriculture in the interior of New Guinea. People argue about what to make of the Indian materials, but certainly India saw one of the three separate domestications of cattle; there are enough uniquely Indian crops that we might end up with India as another center of independent agricultural innovation. There are different ideas about the Americas, but I think we have two for sure: Mesoamerica and the Andes. There may also be a separate lowland tropical South American development. It also seems that there might be a few things domesticated in the southeastern United States even before there was Mesoamerican stimulus or diffusion. So that makes four.
Here's the point: agriculture was invented in Africa in at least three centers, and maybe even four. In Africa, you find the earliest domestication of cattle. The location, the pottery and other materials we've found makes it likely that happened among the Nilo-Saharan peoples, the sites are in southern Egypt. There is an exceptionally strong correlation between archaeology and language on this issue.

Does anyone have this book online for Free??? I want to read it:

Black Arabia & The African Origin of Islam

I just want to read it. See what it's about. I already know what each of your individual opinions are on the subject.

Is Islam a Religion of the Black Man as suggested by Elijah Muhammad? Or is it a slave religion originated by white Arabs and imposed on Black People? Finally, this question is addressed with scholarship rather than with rhetoric. Internationally known scholar of Islam Dr. Wesley Muhammad brings together in this his latest work a tremendous amount of scholarship and demonstrates that: Ancient Black Arabia, which is the matrix of Islam, is a root of civilization and an integral component of the Global African Civilization paradigm

Also, ideas of monotheism.. commandments, stories of creation similar to the Old Testament are in ancient Africa because African immigrants started speaking about it in the Middle East. There is a Museum in Detroit that you can listen to readings and read the stories of ancient African cultures and religious creation stories.... and if you listen... you hear all the modern religions in that. Then there are some tribal pagan animal religions as well...

Noah, Moses, etc.. these people and stories were imported to the middle east.


also...

the idea of all this Egyptian influence on Greece is threatening to people who fear that it challenges Greek uniqueness and originality. I don't think it does at all. After all, human societies invent new patterns through encounter with other societies. What Greeks achieved is all the richer if we understand that they were grappling with ideas from Egypt, Mesopotamia, and elsewhere.

The waterbed was invented in AFRIKA.

[Blackking]

The waterbed was invented in AFRIKA.

Not being animals but thinking about culture, art, and society; using iron, pyramids were invented in kush and northern Africa... domesticating animals and agriculture, religion, etc. was invented in Africa.

Waterbeds were invented for health reasons... modern waterbed were invented by science fiction. The real waterbed was called the pleasure pit and was invented for the cac demonic reasons while cac rejected ideas about electricity by white people like Tesla.

 

[Dr. Sebi Jr.]

Waterbeds were invented for health reasons..

Yes they soothe the PINEAL GLAND.

at "none in Europe, by the way." Inferiority complex, huh? I've never heard anyone anywhere teach that agriculture developed in Europe first.

I don't know if the dude has a complex.. he was responding to questions.. and also being asked specifically about implications that others have raised.

Every religion was at some point monotheistic in nature until they went astray.

Africa is the birthplace of humanity and home to one of the greatest civilizations ever. Leave it at that.

Question related to another topic that was recently being discussed though....why do you think that a significant portion of Africa didn't produce a written language or rich literary history? Why were they so easily engulfed by Arabic? What are the reasons that Afrocentric scholars give for this?

bomb ass questions. I don't really know. Idk who to @ on here to answer that shyt. What poster would know??


Anyway, PBS was randomly showing something within the last month that was talking about the lack of written language..... but it emphasis oral tradition and other forms of communication. The expression was in the structural art, somehow the pottery was significant, plus We are just now (for some weird reason) just now realizing what all the shyt left behind was even for. Like some of the rocks that looked smoothed over was brushed off by excavators.... now we know they were musical instruments that were heard across the desert.... AS a matter of fact There wasn't a desert.
The area was perfect for human development (for the first time with all the past climate changes) - So humans hadn't yet suffered the great catastrophes that we see the other more recent ancient civilizations writing (and inventing writing systems) about. Religion didn't have as much of a purpose because it was for curiosity and not yet for curiosity + protection from the Universe- So the places that are now deserts hadn't yet had climate change and humans were still figuring out how to use Iron, clay, rocks, and perfecting herding animals and growing things ( we are only Now starting to lose the Myth of some other random mid east tribes inventing civilization).... So the emphasis wasn't on literature. It was the civilizations that built on these ideas that wanted to draw pics and symbols n shyt. IDK y, Maybe because they traveled and realized they needed to document.
