Download or read book When Africa Ruled the World written by Rufus Jimerson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to uncover the true history of sub-Saharan Africans, Africans in Diaspora, including African-Americans in context to world history and that of civilization from its inception. This context refutes the white supremacists claim that blacks have no history of achievements or accomplishments to human advancement prior to slavery and related emancipation. It demonstrates that blacks are the first human species, founders of civilization and its advancements. There is one civilization and that is African civilization. Western civilization is a replica of that singular civilization founded in Antiquity. Black African civilization's rebirth in Europe spawned the Renaissance, Age of Reason, Enlightenment, and Modernity. African civilization is the root, origin and master blueprint of all religions. During Antiquity all gods and goddesses were made in the image of sub-Saharan Africans, Africans in Diaspora, including African-Americans. All Saviors of Mankind, including Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Abraham, etc., were made in the image of Africans in Diaspora. The book highlights how Western ethnocentrism, xenophobia, distortions of religion, and racism that intensified during African slavery and colonization remade these images to appear as Aryan or Nordic as possible. All credit for the development of civilization and achievements were seized by these Western conquerors who reigned within the last 400 years. The 10,000 years or more of black African hegemony was purposely purged from recorded history. The purpose of this purge is to brainwash the more than 80 percent of the world's population that is colored to accept substandard wages and conditions to facilitate the accumulation of wealth and privilege by those who claim to be white. The book highlights the evidence that the first people and civilizations of Europe, Asia, Far East, Pacific Islands and Americas were direct descendants of the sub-Saharan Africans, Africans in Diaspora, including African-Americans. These blacks established all leaps forward from primitive society to the early civilizations that would spawn modernity. In addition, the book highlights evidence that the African hegemony maintained cultural and commercial ties globally from Antiquity to prior to Columbus and European invasions. Through Masonic secrecy the African civilization and its Mystery System survived the Inquisition, the rise of European nationalism and xenophobia to find its way to the North American colonies. As such, colonist founded the future superpower, the United States of America (USA), on principles and values accrued from Africa's Mystery System drawn from the Dogon-Egyptian civilization. The strength of this new nation depends on leaders that appear to fulfill the Pharaohic Karma of Antiquity and build a modern African global hegemony learning from the actual achievements and avoid mistakes of the past.

Book excerpt: This volume offers a survey about what is known about the Ancient Egyptians' vision of the afterlife and an examination of these beliefs that were written down in books that were later discovered in royal tombs. The contents of the texts range from the collection of spells in the Book of the Dead, which was intended to offer practical assistance on the journey to the afterlife, to the detailed accounts of the hereafter provided in the Books of the Netherworld. The author looks closely at these latter works, while summarizing the contents of the Book of the Dead and other widely studied examples of the genre. For each composition, he discusses the history of its ancient transmission and its decipherment in modern times, supplying bibliographic information for any text editions. He also seeks to determine whether this literature as a whole presents a monolithic conception of the afterlife. The volume features many drawings from the books themselves.
