WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
***FROM THE AWAKENING OF INTELLIGENCE TO THE
CONQUEST OF PLANET EARTH!
***
Simple curiosity inspired this work. We wanted to know
"what was what" in the past. So we went after the facts. To
retrace the path of our ancestors from the origin to present.
The work has no other ambition. We kept our focus on the
African diaspora because in late 1980's there were few
works on the subject.
*****
African Saint, Kimpa Vita aka Donna Beatrice of Kongo
The African woman that stood against the practice of slavery in Africa in
16th/17th century. She paid her audacity with her life. In Brazil she was
celebrated for centuries by African slaves who venerated her as Saint. In Congothere were great ladies and royals that also fought against slavery. The other
great woman perhaps more successful than Kimpa, was Queen of Matamba
Nzinga Kuwu, who vanquished Europeans armies (Portugal) and their African
allies in regular battles. She was a renegade princess of ancient Kongo. Upset by
the desecration of African religious monuments and paraphernalia as well as
the selling of people she took arm and formed her own army. She eventuallycreated her own free kingdom remembered as the kingdom of Matamba, thus
her name.

It should be noted that slavery was forbidden in many
African kingdoms (already in 16th-19th centuries). In somekingdoms, monarchs were judged and executed by the
Kamvu Congress/supreme court (Bamileke for example)
when they were convicted of such major crime as slavery.

FOREWORD:
From prehistory to history there was an amazing
movement of people criss-crossing the continents. The lack
of informations on this great human odyssey was
disconcerting. It was ignoring the reality of
African exploratory initiative that in prehistory took our
foremost ancestors all over the world. It is long after their
great plural journey that the term, perhaps the concept
subsaharan was invented.
The concept effectively imposed a balkanizing vue
on the continent. It erects a barricade of the mind. One that
separated us from our forefathers. This became clear to us
ten years on the scholarly journey that unraveled this
chronology.
During those early years, there were great
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
5/188
epiphanies: the realization that ancient Egypt never had an
issue with color. On their beautiful murals, you see people
from the four cardinals that are proudly Egyptians.
To this day in the African continent color is not
important when it comes to people. Our brothers and
sisters regardless of the variation of their skin are just that:
brothers and sisters!Unfortunately, many people still look at Africans
from a bias prospective. Our common ancestors must be
turning in their graves!
To anyone that understands our common humanity
it makes little sense writing the chronology of one group
alone. Alas! I had already written over 500 pages of
manuscript with a focus on the black presence in ancient
history. What was I going to do now? I stopped the research
work. What was the point? There was no black history!There was only human history! The correct thing to do now
was to write a universal chronology. However, I had no
means to engage in such an enormous task alone.
Nevertheless many years later various encounters
made me realized that what was obvious to us was still
news to many. So it appeared that the work although
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

limited, was still relevant. There were compelling
encounters that stressed the need to make this work public.
People wanted to know. I obliged
Where there is an evident absence of informations it
behooves to the scholar to fill the gaps. Fortunately I had
already gone through amazing findings. Enough to present
this modest first volume.The story of the African Diaspora is a human story. It
stems from the roots of everything human. It stands at the
core of our existence. We all share a great deal from
prehistory. The tree from which all branches blossom.
Descendants of people described here are found all over the
world today and in all continents, skin colors and shapes.

THE DIASPORA & MOTHERLAND
(Azanians/Asanians)Thousand years ago Humans sprawled from the
Great Lakes of Africa to the four cardinals. All over the
world they went. These were our ancestors: Blacks, White,
Yellow and all. They all shared the same hearth that made
the world as we know it today.
To reach said conclusions back in the 80's, long
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

before Y-chromosome findings, we had to foray deep into
the past. The result was thousands of pages of manuscript.
Compilation of events, people, places. Wild bush of data,
powerful discoveries. Enough to create cognitive
revolutions of the kind that enlighten the mind and soothe
the heart. Information rush into the brain. There they
progressively organized to reveal events of the past.Unavoidable facts that piled up into written data. In the
process they revealed the plain reality of the past. Events all
connected beyond elementary appearances.
Hand written documents were divided in five parts:
history, religion, sciences, sport and Art. We followed the
origin of Modern Man. From Africa to the rest of the world.
We proceeded in the same manner with every section of
what was latter called Super Chronology.
After following the path of our ancestors fromprehistory to modern time, the picture of social evolution
imposed itself with such force that we had to analyze its
many ramifications. Here, I must give credit to Japanese
researcher Manao Fujiwara. In the interviewed of 1998 he
encouraged me to explore the roots of human social
evolution. The result was the philosophical treatise on
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
8/188
social evolution now titled Kosmicks (originally cosmic
symmetry or chasyncrism).
The work in social evolution demonstrated without a
shadow of a doubt that we were all linked to the same
original roots and that the trend, though intermittent, never
stopped (now confirmed by Y chromosome findings and
Mitochondrial DNA).There remained a need. To understand the African
experience. If we were all connected to the same original
roots how is it that we knew so little about the African link
perhaps the most important in the understanding of the
Human experience? Thus this book maybe called the
Recovered Missing Link of Human Civilization. Why?
There was indeed a gap in the knowledge of African
past. Human division however is not sustainable. Thus far
it has impoverished the gene pool. It is now threatening thefuture of humanity. Science and modern technology are
incessantly bringing us back together even though
remnants of prejudices still creeps here and there. It is only
a question of time before we realize the importance to
connect cultural missing links. There is an imperious
necessity to reconnect. There is no forward without a
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
9/188
present, no present without a past. In other words: No past,
no future.
To know where we came from, each and everyone of
us is to glimpse into a better future. A better understanding
of African past and chronology can only be helpful. The
idea that people that left Africa never came back is
erroneous and misleading. World's population at any timein history clearly shows the pattern of connective links.
From one part of the globe to another people meet people.
Even in the case of islands like Australia sea crossing was
possible long before the great sea trades of the Middle
Ages. There were sea crossings between Africa and the
Americas centuries before Columbus arrival. There were
sea crossing between Europe and Africa (Red Sea) at all
time in the past. The Sea crossing went both ways. There
was a time in history when it was more profitable to go toAfrica. We thus reiterate as evidenced in this work that the
absolute certainty of human brotherhood is not theoretical.
Be it in one part of prehistory, in early history or in recent
history. The dynamic of multiculturalism and genetic
melting pot: lives on. And that is good for humanity for
that is what made us what we are today. Both

technologically and biologically. Civilization is the sum of
the human experience.

The Chronology barely stands, as the tree of life. All
along the way there are cultural and genetical branches
going in all directions. The blood that flows in those
branches is the same blood. The connection asdemonstrated by modern biology (Mitochondrial DNA & Y
Chromosome) is very young, that is a 200,000 years span
according to the molecular History Research Center (from
300,000 years as it was believed in the early stages of this
work). It is relatively young compared to the hominid
lineage that extended to millions of years. We show this in
the prehistoric portion of this book.
Recent fossils evidence found in the Arabian
peninsula now confirm that our ancestors made it there by120,000 years ago according to an article from Scientific
America by Katherine Harmon, Jan. 27, 2011 (digital
edition).
While we have used color to identify certain
cultures, it was done as a matter of historical rectitude as
imperfect as that maybe. Color it is clear does not equate
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
11/188
with gene identity. Thus people from all over the globe
should feel very comfortable with this connotation. Many
of us have ancestors that do not look like us. They are our
ancestors nevertheless and we should be very proud of
them.
A great African-American scholar with whom we
had the honor to share the stage in Harlem State building,once said:
To understand African history, you must study
European history.
The name of this scholar was celebrated historian
Henry Clark.
This Super Chronology (SuperKross), is the
evidence of worlds common heritage as it relates to Africa.

THE CHRONOLOGY(How it all began)
1987, New Orleans, Louisiana, 7pm. A lovely Bread &
Breakfast mezzanine in the heart of the city. Sitting around
a local cocktail four people are engaged in a heated debate.
One of them is the beautiful owner of the edifice. The other
were: a young Frenchman, a young American woman and I.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
12/188
The subject of the debate turned around the condition of
people in America from inception to modern times.
The ladies knew something about Black history. The young
man did not. I recalled an incident in France in my college
years when a rich classmate just back from New York tried
to convince us that Blacks did nothing in America because
they did not had the acumen to do so. To the credit of myclassmates at Lycee Claude Monet (1978-1979), 95% of the
class reacted positively. That is they rejected the racist
assumption. After New Orleans, the need to investigate the
achievement of people of African ancestry from slavery to
modern time was uncontainable. It then occurred to me that
the best way to investigate the past was to follow step by
step not only major events in history but the daily life of
people. Began a research work that extended to decades. It
was clear at the outset that a chronology based on slaverywas incomplete. So I pushed further in time. I soon found
myself face to face with the grand history of the world. The
intellectual journey that ensued took me from the origin of
Modern Man to the explosion of culture. At the end I was
left with a dazzling realization that changed forever my
understanding of people and culture.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

The ultimate propensity of this work turned out to
highlight through chronology a genetic flow from
prehistory to history. In the process it exposed brotherhood
where adversity was once emphasized.
I wondered why it took me this trajectory to understand the
past. Fact is a linear approach to history dominated
academic world. Such approach considered civilizations as
hermetic blocks of people moving from one continent to
another and remaining the same. In such views Greeks
went from Europe to Africa and Asia yet remained
unchanged in features and culture. Romans came to Africa
and lived there for centuries but did not change an iota as if
we had here different races totally impervious to one
another. Quite obviously this was not the case. There is a
large amount of data (historical, archeological and
anthropological showing African presence in Rome and
Roman presence in Africa). There was no racism in Rome!
To say it in modern terms: Black or White if you served the
Roman Empire you was welcome as a citizen of Rome.
Hence Africans were found at all levels of the Romanshierarchy, from centurions to Caesars. African son Septimus
Severus even rose to the rank of Caesar. Though in general,
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
14/188
works of this type focus on leaders and military events
essentially, The Chronology takes a different approach: we
pay close attention to people. When we find remnants
bones, we ask ourselves: how did they get there? In order to
properly answer this question we must know where they
came from. Then we may answer the next question: what
does this tell us about them if not about us and who werethey anyway?
To answer these questions we followed the trail of
paleontology. Forensic investigators of history we explored
step by step how humans populated the world.
In the scholarly journey we found an infinite and complex
wave of people rising from pre-history to history. The
fascinating experience placed siblings separated by
enormous distances to the same paleontological trail in
space and time. This revealed a human channel (ancestors
and their off-springs) tied together in magic corridors that
lead them from one stage of evolution to another and from
one country to another. ad infinitum. It became clear that
the concept of cultures was barely a smoke screen to thereality of our common humanity. And we suspected that
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
15/188
this was how the magnificent display of human diversity
enriched the world to create a kaleidoscopic like features of
modern era.
While the understanding of worlds chronology and
its constant link to Africa suggested twenty years ago how
we were all connected', biology eventually confirmed our
common origin. Mitochondrial DNA linked us to the same
original mother. She lived about 300, 000 years ago (now
estimated to 30,000 years) in East Africa. Although it is
widely accepted that Africa is the threshold of humanity
there was always an implication that those who stayed
behind remained 'primitives'. It is not so. All over the world
until recent times there were islands of people that
presented the characteristic feature of a primitive life. In the
case of Africa from slavery to colonialism, great empires
were destroyed and their history forgotten, leaving the
desolate panorama of a dislocated continent where culture
is hidden and poverty emphasized. Once again this is now
our past. Its knowledge serves us best as we look forward
not as a group of people but as people of the human family.An objective analysis of Modern Man footsteps

demonstrated a constant flow of people going from one
continent to another both in prehistory and in history. This
phenomenon allowed a shuffling of genes and cultures
from one part of the world to another (this revelation
became evident during the study of human social
evolution). Thus as it was demonstrated the secret
ingredient of civilization may very well be: diversity. Therecipe includes cross-cultural wind-flow, genes-
interchanges and meme-complexities. Civilization here
means the sum of humans cultures. In this context there I a
progressive development in human social evolution who
goal is to produce not only the best genes possible both the
best thing that can come out of the human experience. This
process is an ever evolving process and it can be define as
the making of Human Civilization. This is achieved by the
continuous and evolving contribution of one culture oranother irrespective of race and other denomination. Just
like nature evolution does not care about those things. It
cares about what works and that is why any scholar of
history observed rise and falls of empire. The reality is that
for each empire that fall, the next one that rise carries
within its genes the gain acquired by the previous

dominance. At the end it is humanity as a whole that wins.
This very intricate and extremely complex phenomenon is
painstakingly explained in The origin of Racism or Cosmic
Symmetry, our work on social evolution.
The rise of Hominids has been estimated to 7.5
million years ago. In various branches we evolved from
Hominids to Homosapiens (that is what we are today) or
perhaps Sapiens es Sapiens (Super brainy or Post-Modern
Man) as we would like ourselves to be known. Call it a
Super Intelligent Being since sapiens stands for intelligence.
Our most famous ancestor in the latter branch of Hominids
(the only surviving branch) is an enigmatic woman in East
Africa called Lucy or Mitochondrial Eve (c. 300 000 BP).
She is the common ancestor to Blacks, Whites, Yellows and
Reds. Though controversy has since surrounded
mitochondrial DNA findings, most scientists agree that we
are indeed related and place the birth place of that
enigmatic ancestor of ours in Africa.
It is interesting to observe that ancient Egyptians
already placed the Aaru (Holly referring in ancient Egyptdesignation of Eden) fields latter called Elysians fields by

7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

Greeks and Romans in Eastern Africa around the Lakes
areas. This is known to us through the Bible as the Garden
of Eden. The Bible was written about two thousand years
after cardinal inscriptions found on the walls of ancient
Egypt. Some of these inscriptions as we show in the course
of this chronology very likely inspired es verbatim (literally
word for word) major tenets of the Bible. Notably suchmajor biblical statements as the Ten Commandments. Let us
state that here this is barely the expression of a scholarly
discovery. Such text are found in academic works from
European scholars made in ancient Egypt and describing
elements of that culture at one period of history.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO CULTURAL
MISUNDERSTANDING
With slavery and colonialism Africa became a tool in
the hands of those that benefitted from the trade. To the
scholar of history this maybe the greatest failure of the
Akhenaten doctrine that proposed that humanity evolvesfaster and better without the exploitation of man by man.

7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

The reality of such exploitations as slavery dictates that it is
always to work a small number of people In Africa it was
the old ammonite power structure. In Summeria it was the
old nobility of the time, so it was all over the word until the
French revolution.
Proponents of such exploitation as it is seen in the
Americas engineered the enslavement of Africans after that
of Native Americans in conjunction with that of poor
Europeans. In Middle Age Europe the Vile trade (or
slavery) was already a thriving institution subjugated poor
people to the benefit of the few. This stopped with the
French revolution (1789). In the early days of North
America European slaves were called indentured servants
(XVI to XVII century), they worked for free for an extended
and determined number of years. If semantic would like us
to call them indentured servants, we must remember that
those that died would like history to honor their pain by
recognizing what they endured for what it was. We cannot
avoid the reality that people that worked without rightful
compensation for their work and died without having hadthe opportunity to recover their freedom had been reduced
to a defacto state of slavery. They are as victims as anybody
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

else in the same predicament. They deserves the rectitude
of history. It is remarkable that at that period of history
there was great solidarity between Europeans and Africans
in the Americas. They understood then that they were both
victims of the same yoke. The exploitation was marked by
violence.
In general Africans, Europeans and Native
Americans in the same predicament made no mistake about
their condition. They often allied with each others to fight
for their freedom. They knew that they shared the same
cause until racism began digging a breach among them.
Eventually Africans in the Americas and Europe found
themselves abandoned in the realm of social castration.
Began the demonizing process (a process by which a group
of people are stigmatized into social oblivion). The road
was paved for cultural alienation. According to Leo
Africanus ...The countries of the Negroes are all inhabited
by men who lived like beasts, without a king, without a
ruler...They are dressed in sheep skin and the Edict of
1455 to conclude that Pagans should be reduced toperpetual slavery.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
21/188
Leo Africanus statement was erroneous and the Edict
of 1455 a tragic mistake. Africa at all time could be called
the continent with the most rulers and kings. Slavery and
colonialism cumulatively created the most horrible
genocidal spree in humans history. Physical tortures were
numerous and took all forms. There was also a consistent
psychological onslaught that extended to centuries.
As a matter of historical accuracy it is worthy to mention
that Africa or ancient Egypt knew a great moment of
cultural, artistic and technological expansion thousands of
years before the birth of Christ. It then fell into decline until
the tenth century. There was a minor revival during the
Ambiguous period : XIII, XIV, XV & XVI centuries. At the
same time, Europe took off for a magnificent expansion.
Thus Europe progressively entered the hall of civilization.
The apparent dichotomy North/South was and remains an
illusion created by slavery, colonialism and neo-
colonialism. The difference between colonialism and neo-
colonialism is very simple. Colonialism was a direct
domination that was both military and economic. Neo-colonialism is an indirect domination that is political via
control of head of states cum power structures within
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
22/188
subjected nations and economic through the control of
financial institutions. There is an ongoing covert war that is
subsidized: Africans fight each others for the interests of
foreign entities. The bounties are the resources:diamond, oil
and other rare and precious stones. In the early years of
colonialism, the bounty was coffee & cocoa. In all it is a
very complex structure encompassing human socialevolutional patterns. We have explored this phenomenon in
our treatise on social evolution. This said all dominations
are temporal. Their aim serves to impart cultural memes
and dynamical phenotypes from one culture to another. It is
a very complicated process that is dramatic at many levels
and often tragic. We believe that it has an end as humanity
evolves towards higher spheres. The entire process and
complexities are explored in Kosmicks. There we delineates
the pitfalls and dangers as well as the greatest possibilities.There is a caution for our species is now in danger.
The history of the world is one of groups of people
called humans involved in a multi millennial process with
cycles of cross pollination that are both genetic and cultural.The History of northern and southern hemisphere was
marked by a succession of break up in the human family.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
23/188
These break up were never definitive, they were
intermittent and served a purpose. In time there were
reconnections via conquests, migrations, alliances and
expansions.
In this Chronology we followed the advancement of
people (in history, science and religion) from Egypt to
Greece, from Africa to Asia and Europe. It is an inspiring
journey. It brightens the understanding of our commonality.
We find for example that the relation of Europeans and
Africans were not always blurred by racial considerations.
In Antiquity Europeans saw Africans as their brethren andteachers. For a long time the nobility of Europe respected
Africans. In 1249, the companion of Louis IX a.k.a. St. Louis,
during the crusade, was an African man of European
nobility named Jean. He was the son of Prince Robert
dEppes whose father was King William II. Indeed, Prince
dEppes married an African woman from Sudan named
Ismeria, a woman of great talent who demonstrated her
strength when she opposed the killing of Christians in
Africa. At her death Princess Ismeira was venerated as ablack Madonna. This was done to celebrate her life

7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
24/188
achievement. She is remembered as Notre dame de Liesse
(Our lady of Liesse). Her son was described in a chart in
1236, as the son of the Black woman. In the thirteenth
century, it was an honor to be the son of a Black woman (the
term nigger which is simply classic Latin for the color black
did not have the negative connotation that it latter
acquired). In the 14th
century ravages of slavery had not yetalienated the understanding of history. And the memory of
holly men from Africa (then referred to as Ethiopia or India
due to ignorance of geography) was still fresh in many
Europeans minds. Renowned personalities to visit the
African princess memorial includes: Jeanne dArc of France,
kings Louis XI and Francis I. Ismeira was such an iconic
figure that her sanctity was required before going to the
Crusade.
To understand how Africa fell from grace is essential
for humanity because it teaches us lessons about the past.
Sometime people wonder how it is possible that a great
nation can fall into indigence. So many have asked how is it
that Black people declined if indeed Egypt was Black?Notwithstanding the equivocal nature of that term, let us
say here that it is quite possible for a great nation to fall into
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
25/188
indigence as it happens all the time to people from the
upper class or wealth that lost their suddenly fortune and
found themselves having to strive back from the lower ends
of society.
After Greek invasion and domination Azanian (Black
or mix Egypt) was subsequently conquered by Romans.
That is the history of the rise and fall of great empires. As
for Africa or more precisely for ancient Egypt (remember
that in ancient time it stood for Aethiopia or Africa as well
as North Africa for that matter), it knew its great decline. It
was a noted European writer who the first came up with an
appropriate answer to this question. According to Juvenal:
the lost of national sovereignty and that of historical
conscience following a prolonged foreign occupation
engenders stagnation, or even sometime regression,
disintegration, and the partial return to barbarism. A close
study of African history shows well how this applied to the
great continent. Juvenal in his observation was referring to
ancient Egypt.
In Africa, Greek domination was followed by Romandomination. The destruction of Carthage by Romans
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
26/188
announced the tragic faith of a continent. A great Roman
senator was famous to call for the annihilation of Carthage.
He finished all his speech with the phrase delante
carthagium (Carthage must be destroyed)! So the
destruction of Carthage was not an accident of history.
After Carthage the population was dispersed in four
cardinals. Running for their life they went South to sub-Sahara Africa, East to Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia and
further East to Asia and yes some went north to Europe as
well while other went west toward Senegal. Romans ran
after them all the way to Lake Chad and beyond. Romans
coins found in western Cameroon (archeological finding)
tend to confirm this deep penetration.
Roman invasion of Africa was followed by Muslims
and Europeans. Then there was Arab domination and
slavery. The latter lead to the African holocaust (millions
killed and thousands burned at stake). Distraught people
lost their civilization and fell into pseudo barbarism. With
Greek invasion Egyptian intelligentsia migrated mostly to
the Eagan and to Asia where their forefather hadestablished strongholds from the controversial Sesostris
invasion to that of latter years. It is not surprising therefore
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

that with the decline of Egypt around 500 BC, began an
emergence of genius in Asia and the Aegean (Greek
world). For centuries Africans traveled on these roads and
dominated these territories. Like rich Americans finding
heavens of peace from Uncle Sams heavy taxes in Jamaican
islands instead of Europe. Egyptian nobility choose to
retreat in India, Iran, Europe or even China instead ofNubia or further South. In their case they were not looking
for tax heaven. They were looking for safe heaven. When
war came rumbling over their walls (Greek & Romans) the
destination of flight was no longer a matter of choice but
that of survival. Each man went where he could. The retreat
to Nubia and to the rest of Africa was on its way. It was
only the beginning. After Greek and Romans came the
Muslims. The first dispersal was perhaps the first refugee
catastrophe in humans history. It left little evidence becausethe concept did not existed. People abandoned all their
possessions to save their life. They did not leave an imprint
of their travail for archeological findings to behold. How
does one knows thousands years later that remains dating
from the fifth century AD found in the heart of Africa
actually came from a Black refugee from Carthage?

Touaregs and Gypsies have been called Egyptians.
There is a reason to that. It is because in history there was
ground for them to be called that way even though
subsequent prejudices cluttered this reality. They were not
the only one. They were merely the most visible in Europe
and Africa. Those North African and Egyptians that were
less conspicuous integrated local populations in sub-saharan or Upper-great-lakes Africa. Fact is the fall of
Egypt created various groups of migration. This was
possible because Egypt at the time of Roman invasion
(perhaps more dramatic than the preceding Greek
domination) was a cosmopolitan center and was multi
racial. If in Europe gypsies were eventually isolated, in
Africa Fulani and Touaregs were also isolated. They had in
common their complexion and perhaps culture. In Europe
Nomads were considered a little too dark, in AfricaNomads were considered a little too white. Both groups
remained nomads to the twenty first century. Like Jewish
people who survived the genocidal spree of early
Christianity what binds Nomads together was not their
complexion, but their culture. In this respect Jewish were
more successful than Gypsies and African Nomads. This is
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
29/188
because Jewish had developed a strong religious
foundation before the fall of ancient Egypt. These groups it
must be stressed are only the more visible descendants of
Carthage, Fezzan, Phoenicia and ancient Egypt. Why they
were so isolated is still open to debate. Other possible
reasons includes: class, cultural differences, religion and
ultimately race, although the latter was a consequence ofthe former. Races are born out of cultural isolation. There
were those Egyptians that for various reasons were
accepted and integrated into local population not only in
Africa, but in Europe and Asia. We have just delineated in
few words a complex history that took about a thousand
years to unfold. But we can already see how disorganized
migrations out of despair caused the lost of identity. The
modalities of this lost have yet to be studied. Little works
has been done on the subject because of the refusal toconfront an African origin of Egyptian civilization. Talking
about Gandhara (in India) in the first century AD, Francis
Hudson spoke of its position in the web of caravan routes
between Asia and the Mediterranean. That is Egypt-
Carthage-and Phoenicia. Already in the time of pharaohs
this route existed. Egyptians however were not the first to
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
30/188
create a route between Africa and Asia or Europe. Before
them Hominids found their way from Africa to Eurasia.
Hominids were pre-humans. If they could cross the
continents one million years ago why is it so hard to accept
that the great civilization that was Egypt reached China?
The Americas were not out of reach as we have been taught
to believe. Vikings reached the Americas in the ninth
century AD. Well before that time, in BC era Pharaohs
ordered a transatlantic invasion of which evidences have
remained. Scholars now link South America to Africa.
Professor Van Sertima, a renowned archeologist who did
great work on this subject observed We have also found
zea mays in pre-Columbian Africa. American zea mays!
Professor M.D.W. Jeffreys of Witwaterstrand University, a
brilliant South African linguist, showed how American
maize had traveled to Africa. It is distinct from African
sorghum. It had moved across the African continent and he
traced it down meticulously through linguistic footprints.
And the Russian pick it up as it moved from Africa into
Asia. Botanists Kuleshov and Vavilov identified it. Theyshowed that American maize may have entered Asia before
the time of Columbus voyages. Archeology confirms this

fact. There are countless
evidences of an African
trail from the heart of
Africa to Asia and to
Europe. More
research in such
direction will continuouslyunveil compelling
evidences
corroborating these theses. Thus reconciling the brothers
enemies.

UNDERSTANDING THE LINK BETWEEN PRE-
COLONIAL AFRICA AND ANCIENT EGYPT
(KEHMET)
Ancient Egyptians called themselves K'mt or Kehmet.
This is generally translated as people from the Black land,an allusion to the Nile river. Nile's alluvium were very
fertile thus considered source of life since it nurture the soil

7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

that nourished the nation. Another interpretation would be
People with Black skin. This latter version saw here
reference to skin color since in those days (c. 10,000
BCE/4,000 BCE) ancient Egypt which extended from the
source of the Nile (deep in the heart of Africa) to the delta
(further North into the red Sea) was inhabited by people in
really black skin. As Greek scholar observed in their time.It is possible that the name kehmet may refer to
either of these interpretations or rather to a third one that
would be: descendants of the Black. In this latter meaning
the color was associated to the beginning of time. Black was
associated the origin of life before the first chaos and
subsequent birth of energy. In this latter understanding the
color black, thus had very powerful spiritual meaning.
Whatever the meaning one choose to adopt what is
undeniable and agreed by all scholars is that the ancientterm was indeed Kehmet. So we have retained this word
to designate ancient Egypt. It is indeed proper for people to
be called in the manner that they themselves chose. Hence
we shall call ancient Egypt: Kehmet!
In Kehmet there was no such thing as sub-Saharan
Africa. This concept was created with colonialism. Proto-

HOMOSAPIENS CONQUER THE WORLD
(North, East and South)
Pre-Kehmetian period
1/ Prehistory
From Africa took place the first Hominid Great Walk. From
this sacred dawn a magnificent journey spread the genes of
Modern Man all over the globe. The next important wave
out of Africa was that of small men or Negritos who
implanted themselves in Europe and Asia. They also began
their exploratory forays into North America through the
Bering straits. They were the foremost ancestors of present
day Native Americans as they were of people all over
planet earth. They eventually disappeared as new migrants
took over their land. They survived in mythology. Therewas interbreeding as well in all continents. In the Americas
an Asian migration followed. The suplantation of Negritos
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

was finalized by a powerful and consistent Asian
migration. In Africa they survived in pygmies population
by isolating themselves. I visited pygmies in early sixties in
Cameroon. My father then prefect of Sanaga maritime had
administrative control over their territories. When I asked
him to bring them into the modern world, his response was
simple: I have tried. They dont want our modern way.My mother and I paid them private visits. My mother, a
fine seamstress who studied with Christian Dior in Paris
was also a connoisseur of natural medicine. She knew that
pygmies had a deep knowledge of plants and other
remedies. She was right. And I was impressed by their
kindness and most of all by their deep sense of self. I was
also fascinated by their strange songs and music.

Modern scholars that used base their accounting on the
pyramids and the Sphinx. They also use astronomical data.
This later theory propose the thesis that the pyramid were
build in accordance to the constellations. The constellation
upon which they were built were seen in the heaven around
10,000 years before present era (BP). Those who agree with
this thesis, also basing their conclusions on scientific data,proposed that the Sphinx was built before the flood.
Arguing that erosions evidences found on the sphinx were
fluvial (made by water during the flood). Studied have
shown that there were great floods around 14,000 BC which
would extends ancient Egypt era to that period. Those that
disagree with said thesis usually cited Manetho dynasty
that extends the reign of dynasties under 3000 years.
Manetho account is important because it is the earliest
written document on the chronology of kings. This
document however is often misquoted. First of all it is a
second hand account since the original was lost. The most
notable historian to have kept the long lasting account of
this document was Josephus. All controversies aside(notably a few years here and there) we shall focus on the
unspoken period that is the reign that preceded that of

38/188
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
39/188
can be very valid. Arguably the controversy on ancient
Egypt actual age will go on.
What we should remember is that: The age of the Egyptian
period was largely based on the works of Manhetto who
coined the term dynasty. His celebrated account of ancient
Egypt succession of kings still has resonance to this day. He
gave the first total account of these kings including detail
informations
Osiris I, was one of these early kings whose accounts
predated that of the known world. His ventures included
Europe and Asia. In all accounts he was a great king whosestories latter inspired Alexander of Macedonia.
Osiris was rejected by historians in particular post
19th centuries. They relegated his reign to mythology.
However if Osiris was no mythology but a real king, that
will confirm thesis that saw the building of the first
pyramid and that of the Sphinx to have occurred before the
age of Manethos dynasties. Thus Osiris journey across the
world would be vindicated and the age of ancient Egypt
extended beyond 3000 years BC. We would also have
evidence of African monarch in China. Vindicating the
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
40/188
Chinese account of rulers with oily black skin.
This would give credence to the theory advanced by
noted archeologist professor Van Sertima that saw in the
kings with oily Blacks skin described in the Chinese
record as Shangs. They would be the descendants if not
actual officers of Emperor Osiris I.
Indeed Chinese ancient writings described them as
people with oily black skin. It is also possible that some
of these African Lords went across the Sea of Japan to Japan
proper. Indeed Japan mythology and ancient history
mentioned a great Lord that was of black skin. Thischronology places these events in time and followed what
happened latter. Though it keeps a focus on the Azanic
connection (in which color matters less to the benefit of the
human story). The accent on color here helps only to have a
better grasp of the African past since that is the missing link
of world history.
I cannot stress enough in this work that color
specifications are really secondary. We look forward to a
time when they will not matter at all. That said we still have
to use reference patterns that helps us better understand the
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
41/188
past.
Another important moment of Asian-African relations in
the beginning of history is indubitably the notable Hyksos
invasion. Hyksos have been accurately called Asians and
subsequently likened to White men from the Sea. There
are strong evidences however suggesting an Asian (not
Middle East) presence in ancient Egypt. Archeological
evidences from Tutankhamen tombs shows clearly Asian
features in Egyptians artifacts, notably a staff with Negroid
and Asiatic features and depicting slaves in ancient Egypt
(post-Hyksos era). Black slaves in ancient Egypt are over
emphasized in literature. Egyptians did not discriminate.
All conquered people regardless of skin pigmentation were
slaves. That was the ancient world. This was true in Egypt,
it was true in China, in was true in Rome. It is unfortunate
that most books and exhibits of ancient Egypt, Greece and
Rome, choose to hide Black men and women in the upper
hierarchy, showing mostly Black captives. This is even more
troubling when in a panel with Black and Whites slaves;
one part of the panel is obliterated.The ancient did not have such problems. Hyksos rule over

ancient Egypt lasted close to one hundred years. It was
followed by an African revival.

Middle East pre-dynastic period was essentially Azanic
(Black, Semitic or Mix) thus it would have been redundant
to speak of an African-Middle East. This part of the world
was a meeting point for people going back and forth from
Africa to Asia/Europe and vice versa. Ancient Egypt Empire
extends well beyond Red Sea. Eventually Egypt and the
Euphrates became polarizing points in civilization. A cross-
cultural phenomenon created in this part of the world the
blossoming of a new population. This phenomenon was not
privy to this part of the world. In the course of history
whenever great civilizations pollinate genetic and cultural
mixing occurred. We find this Indus valley (BC era), in
Middle East proper (BC-early AD) in South America (BC-
AD era) and in present day. Indeed, in modern times
because of the revolution of transportation the
phenomenon expended. Thus the new pollinating matrix
maybe seen between Europe and North America.
In ancient Egypt if one was to compare Africans with those
in Nubia, the main centers of African concentration at thisperiod of history, one would have noticed that those in
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
44/188
Lower Egypt and Middle East were strongly mix with
Asian and European. However they remained essentially
Africans. This was going to change drastically following
Greek and Roman's invasions.
We shall note here that there was a Nubian period that may
have preceded the era of pharaohs as archeological records
seems to infer. This period however is still not well known.

3/ GRECO-ROMAN PERIOD
With Alexander (circa 500 BC) began the fall of African rule
over the world. Within a millennium Egypt the light of the
world, was invaded and lost forever its grip over history.
African leadership was supplanted by Greek and Romans.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
46/188
We should note here that among Greeks and Roman were
also Africans (or Blacks) as evidenced by the archeological
record.
The Greco-Roman period is the most important
period to the understanding of present day Africa and
world recent history. For it was indeed during Roman
invasion that the dispersion of Africans out of Egypt took a
definitive turn. They went to all cardinals that is: Europe,
Asia and Africa proper. It was the silent exodus. Silent
because it remained muted in history books.
This scattering had a precedent. Before the crucial nexus ofRomans invasion there was the biblical Exodus. People
who were enslaved as a result of Egyptian colonialism left
in droves. These people contrary to what is believed were
not necessarily Europeans. They did not fit any racial
denomination because they were a mix population. They
came from all countries subjected to ancient Egypt. Slaves
were prisoners of war. In ancient Egypt they were Blacks,
Whites and Asians. To understand who were these people
caught into slavery one has to consider where they camefrom. They came from conquered territories (Nubia,
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
47/188
Assyria and beyond, Greece and beyond).
The Chronology clearly shows these countries and
pinpoint in time and space their relation to ancient Egypt.
Furthermore, Exodus brothers came from all strata of
Egyptian social structure (Akhenaten effect). The idea that
people that left Egypt were only slaves may not be accurate.
Historical and archeological findings tends to demonstrated
the contrary. The Exodus it appeared was directly related to
Akhenaton. The enlighten pharaoh of ancient Egypt, the
true father of monotheism at least if we should rely on
historical and archeological records. Akhenaton is a giant
that has been often misunderstood. The idea that he was
somehow crazy is controversial enough. Fact is he was
the leader and founder of an important movement. One of
the most important movements in human history.
Indeed Akhenatism not only proclaimed the
existence of one and only one God, it declared for the first
time in human history that this God was good and loving.
It proposed a new vision of the world based on human and
esthetic values. Ancient Egypt did not just built pyramids itwas a great center of study that attracted scholars from all
over the world. Certainly there was an important
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
48/188
priesthood but most of all there was a true matrix of
thinking. Akhenaton did not get his inspiration out of the
blue. There was a strong body of intellectuals for lack of a
most appropriate world that scrutinized the heavens,
interpreted physical laws to developed mathematical
principles. A famous invention of that time reaches us
under the name of the Greek mathematician that introducesit to Europe. And that is Pythagoras. Today most
Egyptologists recognize that this theorem was used to build
the pyramids at least a thousand years before Pythagoras
was born. Mathematic in ancient Egypt was well developed
as evidenced by the papyrus of Moscow made famous by
professor Diop (see The Chronology). Herodotus however
stated that Pythagoras brought the famous theorem from
ancient Egypt. Thus Akhenatism as a philosophical and
social movement was a fertile ground for growth: itchanged the world. It made followers in the upper
hierarchy of society. The idea of a loving god or that of a
better world where people could live in peace was
intellectually approachable by a well educated class of men
and women from the upper class. Those from the working
class and slaves saw an obvious interest in espousing such
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
49/188
theories. However there was a strong and powerful class of
noble that violently disagreed with such anathema. It
threatened their world. It assaulted their belief. So when the
time came to annihilate the memory of the enlightened
king, a power struggle erupted. Because it was ultimately a
struggle at the apex of all social strata a compromise
ensued. That compromise was a voluntary departure. Thefollowers of Akhenaton left ancient Egypt. This was the
exodus! We understand therefore that the exodus was made
of learned men, working class, nobility and slaves. The
great struggle that survived in the Bible in fantastic
metaphors denoted a real struggle that was indeed
biblical. We must remember that ancient Egyptian kings
were considered gods. The great rupture at the upper
hierarchy of Egyptian nobility that lead to the exodus was
indeed a war of gods. We can only imagine how traumaticand catastrophic it must have been to those that lived them.
We just have to realize its far reaching consequences to
understand that Akhenaton created a movement that
effectively changed the world. It was the birth of
monotheism. It was the beginning of artistic and social
revolution. It was the first conception of a social idea that

-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
51/188
ostracized after the fall of Akhenatism as well as slaves and
working class. They came from ancient Egypt proper and
from all countries dominated by ancient Egypt. Akhenaton
was also a humanist and a philanthropist as well as an artist
perhaps an esthete. That is one dedicated to the expression
of beauty in whatever medium he chooses to master.
Akhenatons revolution was multi faceted: it was political,social, artistic and religious, perhaps philosophical as well.
He aimed to destroy the Amon fellowship that existed in
ancient Egypt for many centuries. He had against him a
well rooted social hierarchy. In order to nurture his
uncanny revelation, that of monotheism he created a secret
society. Only a few converts were invited. This was the
covenant. This secret society of gods was made of nine or
seven members. The structure survived to this day in Africa
with Bamileke of western Cameroon. They call it Kamvu(kam vuh). Akhenaten secret organization was probably the
model at the origin of most secret societies. As members of
the first covenant, they brought knowledge and order to the
world. We must remember that these were learned men.
They however introduced a concept that eventually
destroyed the millennial old social structures of ancient
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
52/188
Egypt. Great religious and political leaders of his time
understood that at the outset and fought the Akhenaten
doctrine with all their might. Akhenatons legacy was even
annihilated after his death by existing power structures.
They did everything. There were persecutions. Followers of
Amon did what they could to save their privileges. To keep
the ancient structures that served them well. Akhenatentemple and mementos were destroyed all to no avail. This
despite the fact that his followers were as stated persecuted
and forced into exile or to abandon their faith.
Monotheisms survived If humans see themselves as
physical entities, they often forget that they are spirits first
and foremost. An idea that is good for all will live on.
Within 90 years after this great upheaval, just like the
phoenix, monotheism rose from its ashes to conquer the
world to this day. It is worthy to state here that religiouscrisis that divided ancient Egypt were serious. We must
remember that until then Egyptians kings or pharaohs were
literally believed to be gods. Let restate this: they were
not considered gods: They were gods! The crisis that
ensued effectively traumatized not only a population but
the world. There is not surprise therefore if to this day we

The main destination of people emigrating from Africa was
North through the Suez Straight (the canal did not existed.
It was recovered from a dig in the nineteenth century by
French engineer Ferdinand de Lessepz). About it, it is likely
that there was also an emigration southward, less organized
than the emigration Northward that had the particularity of
regrouping people of the same families (whether cultural orethnic without consideration of skin pigmentation). Other
members of Middle and Upper class remained in Egypt
until Romans onslaught.
4/PROTO-AFRICA (Carthagino-Egyptian)
Africa got its name from the Roman era. Proto-Africa
maybe called the Egyptian period.
Before Greek domination of Egypt there were
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
55/188
notable contacts between Africa and Asia. Such contacts
took place with Sesostris the Great and with Hyksos. In
prehistoric period, there were African incursions into Asia.
World populations were greatly affected by these
incursions. They took place in many waves consistently all
along prehistory and history. The most important
incursions post-hominid era was that of Negritos or littleblack people that push into North America. Migrants out of
Africa dominated the planet. Indeed the world was
populated by people coming from Africa into Europe and
Asia.
With the rise of civilization and the needs that it created
there were further incursions. Sesostris I or The Great
forays into Asia remains controversial, so are his incursions
into Europe. The presence of Azanians in Asia and Europe
however has been corroborated by archeological findings.
Some of these findings exist to this day in major museums
and rare books. Broader understanding of our commonality
is essential. The future of humanity is shaped by people
and events. The better we understand each other beyondracial lines, the better chance we have to build a most
functional universe. In our treatise on social evolution

(Kosmicks) we demonstrates that the future of humanity
resides in the conquest of the Milky way and beyond. In
this conquest numbers matters. In this regards Malthus was
wrong. There is no problem of over population for the man
of the twenty first century. The greatest danger to the planet
is Man. Thankfully he is also its greatest savior. As the
chronology demonstrates we are branches of the same tree.This empowering knowledge can save us from ourselves.
In volume II we explore the rise of humanity from
the the the musky waters of prehistory. Onward to the rise
of civilization.

A PRECURSOR TO MODERN TIMES
African emigration out of Egypt, following multiple
invasions (Hyksos, Assyryan, Greek and Roman) went East
toward India, possibly China, South toward Africa, West to:
Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and South-East to Nubia, Ethiopia,
Tanzania. Disparate waves push further to the Congo and
South Africa. These latter waves were the forgotten link to
Egypt that formed the main connection with the continent.They have been thus far ignored because it was until a
certain time, difficult to see any connections between
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
58/188
central Africa and ancient Egypt. But these connections are
unavoidable (they have survived as iconograpic evidence in
classic African art from the empires of Kongo, via Bamileke
kingdoms, Akan civilization and others.
Like an Atlantic wave over the shore of knowledge,
they keep up coming, battling our consciousness until they
are fully accepted. For centuries they rushed into the mind
of scholars asking them to reconsider their data.
They are embedded as dynamic elements in our
culture. They are hidden in civilization's connectivitys, to
safeguard humanity from itself. Waiting for their time toarise and once more enlighten the world with the might of
our ancestors. To celebrate the human family and to
reconnect the thousand and one arms that once linked us to
Mitochondrial Eve. These imprints of human history are
found in art, science and culture.
African migration into Asia did not come only from Egypt.
There were maritime trade between South-East Africa and
China (AD era). And we should not forget Madagascar.
This was a meeting point for Africans and Asians all along
history.
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
59/188
The African migration to Asia is more interesting because it
involves an important class of Egyptians, the nobility and
the working class.
The declining of African secular liturgy starting with
the Akhenaten revolution onward to Roman invasion left
no alternative to Egyptian priesthood, upper and middle
class but to seek refuge in foreign lands. Those who for
various reasons did not emigrate south and who went to
Asia had few possibilities. Their best chance for survival
was to find a sponsor among local Lords or to open theirown school. Some became wandering sages or monks other
became soldiers or engaged into whatever activities secured
them living wages. It is a reasonable inference to suggest
that the famous wandering monks in Asian mythology
were related to these new migrants from a dying
civilization. They were very likely members of the defunct
Egyptian priesthood. There is thus strong correlation
between worlds cultures and ancient Egypt. Evidences
exist to corroborate these facts (see chronology c. 700BC toAD)...

presence in Europe, near-East and parts of Asia. The most

as England. Other accomplishments of this remarkable
leader involved Greece, Anatolia, and Crete as well as

on language, mythology and culture.

B-POST GREEK AND ROMAN PERIOD
The History of Africa and Europe following Greek and
Romans invasion has been well covered in most accounts. It
involves the birth of Christianity, the transformation of the
Catholic Church; the domination of Spain (usually called
Moorish or Muslim domination).
Important moments include the famous conquest and fall of
Hannibal, the martyrdom of African Christians in North
Africa and the great suppression of African writings during
inquisition, which was preceded by iconoclasm. The latter
beyond its theological discourse was an attempt to
eradicate images. Europeans kings that converted to
Christianity realized that God their purported father did
not exactly looked like them. The change was cultural,perhaps political. Not racial. We know that there were great
resistance at the early years of monotheistic adoption and
transformation. Formidable times that extended to the
Middle ages. It was the beginning of a new religion. The
emperor was considered divine. There religious movements
still faithful to the African monotheistic religion. The need
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
65/188
to impose a new concept demanded in the views of early
rulers that the process of identity be as complete as
possible. This was readily an attempt to quench rebellion
and establish belief and sovereignty. Iconoclasm to this day
is known as a religious schism. There was a little more than
that going on in those days. But again it was not racial in
the modern understanding of the term. Black Virginssurvived. They are still venerated to this day.
4/ Conclusion
This has been an attempt to outline our misunderstanding
of what happened following the fall of Egypt and why it
was difficult to understand Africa of the Great Lakes link to
ancient Egypt. The most important evidence of these links
is not only African mythology, but African Art of the classic
period (c. 12th - 19th. c) as well African enduring civilization
(culture and philosophy). The understanding of African
ancestral principle and its symbolism. A comparative study
of such symbolism with Egypt religious practices and
mythology will show similarities of striking concordance.
Such symbolism has been preserved in African Art. There is
-
7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013
66/188
thus iconographic evidence. Recent discoveries are re-
enforcing this reality. Beyond Greco-Egyptian link there is
more to discover in Africa ancient history.
The Nok period in Northern Nigeria which of course was
not called Nigeria in BC era changed our understanding of
central Africa old history. Professor Diop made an

correlation. But even to the latter, it is impossible to ignore
correlation of events and time. According to Thames and

Hudson:
The procession of world-teachers through these centuries
can be followed from Laotzu and Confucius in China
through the Hebrews prophets to the Greek philosophical
schools of Pythagoras and of Socrates
Essentials tenets of Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism,
Confucianism, martial arts (found in ancient Egypt
archeology) and Greek philosophical movements are to be
traced back to old civilization. After all it was the only place
in ancient where existed a well structured and totally
dedicated class of scientist, thinkers and researchers. Theywere the priesthood and their most essential job was to
understand the universe. Many of their research work were
lost with the burning of the library of Alexandria in ancient
times
Indeed, besides monotheism inspired by Pharaoh
Akhenaton ancient Egypt priesthood engaged in what can
be understood today as a scientific enterprise with the aim
to better understand humanity and its relation to the
universe. While refusing to connect these movements in
African secret societies scholars did not hesitate to find

similarities with Europeans counterparts. To Watson, The
Mahayana form in which Buddhism, at the beginning of the
Christian era, made its way through central Asia into China
was influenced by the other faiths with which it was in
contact. This other faith is essentially ancient Egypt
teachings and possibly Indians religious movements.

history is not necessarily who so and so was, but how so
and so got influenced. Of course it is good to know when
possible the nationality and ethnicity of men involved in a
philosophical or historical movement though it is
somewhat secondary. As people of this earth we are all
involve in the same endeavor. The search for the truth in
history is redeeming.To recapitulate Greek and Roman invasions created an
intellectual vacuum in North East Africa. The lords and
priests of Egypt retreated in the territories that they
previously dominated (Sesostris I, was the first Egyptian
monarch to conquer lands all the way to the Caucasus and
Asiaincluding India--), while those who were stranded in
Egypt moved back where they came from. In the lands of
the South. And latter further south into west Africa (post
Roman era). Resistant to Romans were followed by Romanssoldiers all the way to Lake Chad and possibly as far as
western Cameroon.

In ancient Egypt Pharaoh Akhenaton was the first
king ever to impose a monotheist religion over his entire
empire. He was also the first leader to inspire the idea of a
Good God and to laid down premises for social liberty,
including the liberalization of art. In this respect what has
been called the laxism of Akhenaton was really the
application of a philosophy based upon non-violence. His
refusal to intervene in the Egyptians colonies in the Middle
East (then called Eastern territories of Egypt) was the direct
application of such philosophy. With Akhenaton (see the
four hundred years following the death of Akhenaton in

this Chrono-history), began a religious and social
revolution that was going to expand with the first exodus
and to continue with latter waves out of Egypt. A
phenomenon that lead to the birth of Judaism, Buddhism,
Confucianism, democracy and Christianity3.
Conversely, Ancient Egyptians were not only great
innovators of religious precepts and fascinating
architectural accomplishments, they were also the first
powers to develop slavery. Conquest is not an egg walk.
Their military legacy announced the likes of Cesars and
Napoleon. Certainly there were great kingdoms in the
Euphrates and the Indus valleys but they had less
influenced in worlds development.
The lost of total power is an important cause for
traumatism. This is true for people, this is true for nations.
When Egypt fell it was like the end of the world.
It is in this context that we understand the impression of
doom that transpired in some ancient writings. When the
gods fell it certainly must have felt like doom. The so-

called curse of Ham was definitely related to the fall of
Egypt. As we have said in another work: a man can live a
wealthy and powerful life, yet if he falls abruptly let say by
murder and particularly if the killing is gruesome, there
would be a tendency to wonder whether such terrible death
is not the result of some curse or whether in the case of a
difficult life, of some bad karma. Indeed all those conceptswere borne out of the experience of people all over history.
According to Professor Ben Jochannan There is no doubt
that since we (the Jews) were enslaved by our fellows
Nubians, Ethiopians and Egyptians of other religions we
placed curses on them As a direct consequence of our
frustration, anger and spirit of revenge, coming from not
only the enslavement but also the invasions That is one
way to look at it. But curse could also be the interpretation
of an event that reason alone does not satisfactorily clarifies.Any event that is beyond our understanding can be
interpreted as supernatural. This was often the case in
antiquity when people did not understood complexities of
the human mind and emotion as we do today. We now
know that civilization like people evolve in cycle of chaos
and synchronicity that have nothing to do with mysticism.

When a criminal attack you and steal your property there is
no two ways about it. The criminal is the bad guy (not
karma, neither voodu or bad luck and certainly not the
victim). It has been demonstrated with modern sciences
that a rapist is a rapist regardless of circumstances. Rape
being considered a crime of violence. Rape of culture, IQ or
territory is rape.

GENIUS IN ANCIENT AFRICA
Professor Van Sertima in a public address to the
American Smithsonian Institution in November 1991proposed that Peter Schmidt and Donald Avery of Brown
University in Rhode Island found African smelting steel
that was 1500 years old. The finds were located along the
lakes of Tanzania and Uganda and consisted of machines
that achieved temperatures 200 degrees higher than any
machines in Europe until the late nineteenth century.
These African machines blast furnaces produced steel in a
single stage process; that is superior to the technique
developed in the late nineteenth century by Germanscientist George Wilhelm Siemens whose machine for

manufacturing steel did the same thing in two crude
processes, noted Dr. Van Sertima. This tells us that existed
in Africa a long time ago a highly developed civilization
capable of building such a refine and highly efficient
furnace. Other discoveries were done in Africa showing
developed civilizations tat have disappeared since. We have
described in details some of these inventions in Science &Religion of this Chrono-History4. That admitted, it is only
logical that proto-African would have preceded all other
cultures on the path of mathematical, astronomical,
philosophical and technical innovations. After all it was
only the first human stepping stone into history. By
recognizing it for what it was we would have developed a
homogenous consciousness and would not have wandered
in the eerie waters of discrimination that creates a confusion
in the reading of history and our common identity as ahuman specie.
The fact that civilization started in the continent now
called Africa has no intrinsic significance. In all events

ancient Sumerians and ancient Egyptians according to
modern scholars were from the African continent. The
controversy in the origin of civilizations an oxymoron. We
are all people. Our complexes and reservation s when it
come to Africa is usually tainted by ethnic considerations
born out of slavery. Advances in genetics coupled with the
discovery of mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomebrought an end to the debate in humans common origin. At
such time the research work on this Chronology was
basically finished. Essential elements of our past were
delineated. It was refreshing to have our work vindicated.
Indeed the most fascinating discovery in our research was
the undeniable brotherhood of man not only in prehistory,
but in history. This Chronology could have been called a
chromonome. We ultimately called it Panorkross because it
was more important to emphasize that history is made ofpeople (panor5) that meet and exchange ideas, genes and
culture (Kross or cross).
Prejudices and greed divided us. Let us hope that
knowledge and progress will unite us.5

various species of plants and animals. There were great
dinosaurs. And in the Sahara desert there was lush

A MATTER OF ORIGIN
Hominid lineage stands in the center of the Darwinian
concept.
Life evolved from one specie to another in a logical
cycle usually described as the tree of evolution. To
understand this principle we have to consider the
importance of genetics. Through a complicated processcalled adaptation, species evolved through space and time.
Genes are organic data bank of dynamic information. They

The nature of our humanity one hundred years after
Darwin is still a subject of debate. Are Hominids the true
ancestors of Homo sapiens? Sometime in the past a break
occurred and homosapiens broke away from hominids
pongid characteristics by walking upright in the posture
that has been since then our landmark in the cycle of
evolution. Some believe that brain size plaid a role in thisrevolution. Anthropology have suggested beside
bipetallism, the use of tools as the direct result of brain
expansion. So is the consumption of meat that
complemented the enormous demand of protein from an
active brain (Leakey fils).
Om the evolution of specie, Darwin in his famous book
made a demonstration of his theory using the example of
plants. He also postulated the transmission of physical
traits by inheritance in particular with birds and mammals.
From three existing genera (animals or plants with similar
characters and belonging to the same family), was formed a
small family which in turn formed allied or closed family,
as they extend in different branches. They would remainconnected by their genus of origin. The three different
branches exploded in other branches A, B, C and sub-A,

7/27/2019 The CHRONOLOGY Digital Vol 1 Mai 5th 2013

Sub-B, sub-C in a continuum as complex as the human
genome. While descendants of each group can be totally
different from their originators, the possibility remains that
a given group might maintain its initial characteristic. All
depending of the environment of evolution and the
principle of natural selection. In the process of evolution
some forms vanished while other prospers. Naturalselection through divergence of character and extinction
went on with speciation. Descendants of one specie through
intercrossing survived as they adapt to environment. So
from the common ancestor, taken in abstract, a given Y
generation of grand children of the third son would go
extinct for various reasons including external and genetic,
while those of the first son survived and live on to develop
a branch of evolution. And all inhabitants of the world
today, from Africa to Europe to Asia and America descentfrom the same primeval mother knew today as
Mitochondrial Eve.
The oldest remain of Hominids bones have been so far
discovered in Tanzania, placing the factual origin ofHumankind in that part of Africa. Interestingly ancient
Egyptians placed Aaru fields (garden of eden) later called
