The ancient North Africans belonged to a wide community of peoples who lived between the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. They shared a common "Saharan-Sudanese culture", and drew their reinforcements from the same great source.

Archaeological evidence attests to histories of fishing-hunting-gathering, and later herding, throughout the Nile Valley more than 70,000 years ago.

By 5000 BC, the people who inhabited "Nubia" participated in the Neolithic Revolution. The Sahara became drier and people began to domesticate sheep, goats, and cattle.


Pyramids/obelisks as cosmic energy transmitters

Nubia is a region along the Nile river encompassing the area between the confluence of the Blue and White Nile rivers, and the first cataract of the Nile at Al Dabbah:

Nubian rock art depicts hunters using bows and arrows in the Neolithic period, a precursor to Nubian archer culture later.

Africa’s ancient writing systems predate many world civilizations.Various language systems flourished for many thousands of years. This proves that African history is rich with scholarly achievements that have been systematically erased from mainstream western education.

There is archaeological evidence of the secret symbols of Nigeria’s Nsibidi language to the royal Meroitic inscriptions of ancient Kush and the Ancient Ge’ez still spoken and written today in Ethiopia.

Writing in Egypt developed around 3300 BC. In it, the ancient Egyptians referred to Nubia as "Ta-Seti". Ta-Seti ("Land of the Bow") was the 1st administrative division of Upper Egypt.

Situated at the southern border of Nubia, it was part of an early Nubian civilization, predating ancient Egypt, with a unified monarchy existing as early as 6000 BC. However, it could be much older:

Thus, around 3.000 BC, the first rulers of a United-Egypt adopted Nubian traditions, such as a Nubian king wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, suggesting that the royal symbolism of Egyptian pharaohs originated in Ta-Seti, the ancient Ethiopia.


Kingdom of D’mt 8th-5thC BC

The Kingdom of Kush is an ancient African civilization located in Nubia, now Sudan. It existed from 1070 BC to 350 AD. It was known for its wealth, trade networks, and its cultural blend of Egyptian, African, and Mediterranean elements.


The Queen of Sheba of the Axumite Kingdom (10thC BC), and
Israel’s King Solomon, had a son named Menelik the 1st, who brought
his father’s Ark of the Covenant to Axum, under his father’s prayer:
"The Ark is the New Jerusalem": thus its throne should be at Axum!


Ark of the Covenant

In the 4thC AD an invasion by the Ethiopian Kingdom of Aksum, gave rise to 3 Christian kingdoms, of which 2 lasted for a millennium. Now, Nubia is split between Egypt & Sudan. Ezana was crowned the 1st Christian King as described on this 1600 year old stone:


King Kaleb of Axum became Saint Elesbaan

Adulis was Axum’s super-port:


Ethiopian Highlands known as:
"The roof of Africa"

Today, the world is mostly focused on the Sahel region of North Africa. The Sahel spans 6.000 km from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea, in a belt up to 1.000 km wide:

The President of one of the Sahel states, Burkino Faso, Ibrahim Traore is the most prominent Leader in Africa standing up against the Western world that still tries to control much of the economy in Africa.

His very prominent predecessor, Thomas Sankara, was murdered on 15/10/1987 for the same reason. Ibrahim Traore was born on 14/3/1988. He became Burkino Faso’s Leader on 30/9/2022, after a 1st coup in 3/2022.

Massive underground reserves of water found in some of Africa’s driest areas – including the Sahara Desert. Researchers estimate that reserves of groundwater across the continent are 100 times the amount found on its surface.

A study by UNEP and the World Agroforestry Centre found there is enough water falling as rain over Africa to supply the needs of some 9 billion people. Ethiopia, where just over a 5th of the population are covered by domestic water supply and an estimated 46 % of the population suffer hunger, has a potential rainwater harvest equivalent to the population needs of over 520 million people.

The scramble for Africa

In 1884/5, European powers convened at the Berlin conference, where they divided the then undivided continent of Africa amongst themselves, with no regard for the existing cultures, kingdoms, or ethnic groups. They established colonies, and exerted control over its resources and people.

Sovereign ethnic groups were split between different new Nations, causing uprisings, conflicts, and civil wars that continue to this day.
