Ancient Greece, Philosophy, Negro Gods

Homer in an often quoted passage tells how the Greek gods used to go on their feast-days to Ethiopia to commune with their ancestors. Dionysius wrote “Upon the great Atlantic (formally known as Sea of Ethiopia), near the isle of Eritrea, for his pastures famed, the sacred race of Ethiopians dwell.”

Melainis

The rites of Apollo were founded by Delphos, son of Apollo or Poseidon, and his mother Melainis; and the worship of Black Isis and Horus was very popular in Rome, including Roman colonies as far as Britain. This later evolved into the worship of Black Madonna and Black Christ. Top right: Melainis mother of Delphos.

The black man depicted is "Delphos," the eponym of Delphi. The father of Delphos in one ancient story was Apollo; in another, Poseidon. The "Delphic Oracle" occupied an important ancient seat of prophecy at Delphi. Middle left: Greek God Apollo as depicted on ancient coin. Middle left: Medusa, aka Gorgon as depicted on ancient coin. The myth of the Greek god Hephaistos (Hephaestus the divine blacksmith), was based on Ptah. The Memphis theology is based around Ptah above on the left), who himself becomes the primordial fire and gives it substance.

Sex And Race by J.A. Rogers 1967 A.D.  and Sir E.A. W. Budge, gives a list of the Egyptian Gods that originated in the Sudan, the land of the Negroes, and says there is "Little doubt that the Great God of Memphis, Ptah was originally a great handicraftsman and worker in metals who was deified."

"It was the Negroes in the South who introduced the use of iron into Ancient Egypt. Prehistoric iron furnaces discovered in northern Rhodesia, almost in the heart of Africa, by Nino Del Grande, shows that the Negro knew the use of iron untold centuries before the European. Archaeologists generally agree that it was the Negro who first discovered the secret of Iron."

Delphos

This cosmological system was developed at Memphis, when it became the capital city of the kings of Egypt. Ptah is the creator-god of Memphis, and during the long period the city served as the capital of Egypt it was known as Het-ka-Ptah or "House of the Soul of Ptah".

Ptah is one of several Egyptian deities attributed with a myth about fashioning creation. Ptah, as the god Ta-tenen (the primordial mound), creates in the so-called "Memphite Theology" the world, its inhabitants, and the kas of the other gods.

Hephaestus, being the most unfaltering of the gods, was given Aphrodite’s hand in marriage by Zeus to prevent conflict over her between the other gods.

The gods were fighting over her so much, they feared that they would lose their peace with one another and go to war on the other gods.Hephaestus and Aphrodite had an arranged marriage, and Aphrodite, disliking the idea of being married to the unsightly Hephaestus, began an affair with Ares, the god of war.

Aesop Aesopus

Eventually, Hephaestus discovered Aphrodite’s promiscuity through Helios, the all-seeing Sun, and planned a trap during one of their trysts. While Aphrodite and Ares lay together in bed, Hephaestus ensnared them in an unbreakable chain-link net so small as to be invisible and dragged them to Mount Olympus to shame them in front of the other gods for retribution. However, the gods laughed at the sight of these naked lovers, and Poseidon persuaded Hephaestus to free them in return for a guarantee that Ares would pay the adulterer's fine. Hephaestus states in The Odyssey that he would return Aphrodite to her father and demand back his bride price.

Aesop Aesopus Lochmam 620 - 560 B.C.E: Fables existed before the printed word as folktales that were recounted orally. Hundreds of fables have been attributed to the Greek slave? Aesop, who lived between 620 and 560 B.C.E.  Two hundred of his tales were gathered in about 320 B.C.E. to make up the earliest known collection. During the medieval period, Latin translations of Aesop's fables were used as textbooks in schools. "The Crow and the Pitcher," "The Lion and the Mouse," "The Hare and the Tortoise" and "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" are some of Aesop's fables. Other ancient fable collections includes:

The Panchatantra and The Jatakas, both from India. The Panchatantra was written about 200 B.C.E. Structured in verse; these stories are much more elaborate than Aesop's are. The Jatakas, a huge collection of stories about the reincarnation of Buddha, dates at least as far back as the fifth century A.D.

Mytilene was the capital of the island of Lesbos. It was one of the mints that struck electrum coins for a very long time. These hecte from Mytilene is made of electrum. It was minted around 500 BC, the time of the Ionian revolt (500-493 BC), which was crushed by the Persian King Darius I. Lesbos Uncertain (BCE. 550-500) BI - African 108 view sca 500-480 BC.

"Know thyself" Most young students in The world believed that, The opening, Quote was uttered by Socrates. But The truth is that The Egyptian Temples carried, such inscriptions, like the weekly bulletins of our modern Churches. Similarly, on hearing or reading about The four cardinal virtues, most people assumed that It was determined by Plato. Nothing could be more misleading. The Egyptian Mystery System contained ten virtues, of which Pluto copied four; justice, wisdom, temperance and courage.

The Athenian government of time, treated Philosophy for what It was, foreign religion from Egypt. Therefore most of The prominent Greek Philosophers were relentlessly persecuted. Anaxagoras was imprisoned and exiled, Pythagoras was expelled, Plato was sold into slavery, Socrates was executed and Aristotle was indicted and exiled. Most of the heroes of Greek mythology are direct copies from Egyptian mythology and Gods like The Ennead.

The teachings of the Egyptian mysteries reached other lands many centuries before it reached Athens. According to history Thales who had also received his Education in Egypt and associates Anaximander and Anaximenes , were native of Ionia in Asia Minor which was a stronghold of the Egyptian mysteries school. 640 B.C.

Similarly Parmenides, Zeno and melissus also natives of Ionia migrated to Elea in Italy spreading the teachings of the Egyptian mysteries. 576 B.C. Pythagoras after receiving his training in Egypt returned to his native Island of Samos. He the migrated to Croton where His order grew to enormous proportion until he was expelled from that country. 540 B.C. Heraclitus, Empedocles, Anaxagoras and Democritus who were also natives of Ionia studied physics in Egypt. 530 B.C. Left: Black Youth Greece 300 B.C.E.

History makes it clear that the surrounding neighbour of Egypt became familiar with the teachings of the Egyptian mysteries many centuries before the Athenians. The Ionians and Italians made no attempt to claim the Authorship of Philosophy because they were well aware that the true authors were the Egyptians The Ionians were not Greek citizen, they were firstly Egyptians subject and later Persian subject. The Chronology of Greek Philosophers is mere speculation. The life, Training and the early work of Greek Philosophers, pre Socrates era was marred with uncertainty and confusion.

Including Diogenes, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Xenophanes,

Anaximenes, Xeno, Pythagoras, Empedocles and Leucippus. The Compilation of the history of Greek Philosophy was the plan of Aristotle executed by his School. Aristotle must have made wishes known to his pupils about the compilation of Greek Philosophy. Thephratus and Eudemus were both student under Aristotle. Right: Black Youth Greece 100 B.C.E.

This was about the same decade that Alexander conquered Egypt Therefore, Aristotle being good friend with Alexander would have had the opportunity not only to do extensive research but also help himself to looted books from Egyptian libraries with the help of his students. Eudemus, Thephratus and Andronicus, produced works ranging from Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy and Theology to Physics.  Right: Black Youth Greece 100 B.C.E.

The Earlier Ionian School: This Group consisted of 1 Thales, 2 Anaximander and 3 Anaximenes. Thales, supposed to have lived 620-546 B.C. And a native of Miletus, is credited by Aristotle, with teaching that (a) water is the source of all living things. (b) all things are full of God. Both history and tradition are silent as to how Thales arrived at his conclusions, except that Aristotle attempts to offer his opinion as a reason: that is that, Thales must have been influenced by the consideration of the moisture of nutriment, and based his conclusion on a rationalistic interpretation of the myth of Oceanus.

This however is regarded as mere conjecture on the part of Aristotle. Turner's History of Philosophy p 34. Anaximander, supposed to have been born 610 B.C. At Miletus, is credited with the teaching that, the origin of all things is "the Infinite", or the Unlimited (i.e., aphelion), or the Boundless.

Medusa aka Gorgon

Aphelion is regarded as equivalent to the modern notion of space, and the mythological notion of chaos. Both history and tradition are silent as to how Anaximander arrived at his conclusion: but here again we find Aristotle offering his opinion as a reason, i.e., that, Anaximander must have supposed that change destroys matter, and that unless the substratum of change is limitless, change must at sometime cease. This opinion, is of course, mere conjecture, on the part of Aristotle. Turners History of Philosophy, p.36.

Anaximenes, also a native of Miletus, and supposed to have died in 528 B.C., Is credited with the teaching that all things originated from air. Both history and tradition are silent as to how Anaximenes arrived at his conclusion; and all attempts to furnish a reason are regarded as mere conjecture. Turner's History of Philosophy, p.37-38.

What was the source of the data of the histories of this sciences, which must have taken any nations thousand of years to develop ? Greece or Egypt ? At least we know which of the two country had the oldest civilisation according to archaeological data.
