I love Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop. Every
time I read the African Origins of Civilization or Great African Thinkers I get
something new out of it and it starts my mind to wondering and questioning.

“The Jerusalem Jews were opposed

The Su was never seen as destructive but essential to the life and growth

“ir-ha-zedek” = “a city of righteousness”, but the altered version

The original Egyptians did not worship the attributes of the One Creator God as their iconography and zootypes, and if correctly read will prove that point. Those who had not the knowledge of the ancient African did worship the creations rather than the creator. [See my essays on Moses from information on Iconography]
There is also a Biblical account of
Anu or On as mentioned in Genesis. This
centers around Joseph, the son of Jacob [
An excerpt from the Catholic Encyclopedia:
impressed by the clear and plausible interpretation of his dreams, and
recognizing in Joseph a ‘wisdom’ more than human, the monarch entrusted to
him the carrying out of the practical measure, which he had suggested. For this
purpose he raised him to the rank of keeper of the royal seal, invested him with
an authority second only to that of the throne, bestowed on him the Egyptian
name of Zaphenath-paneah ("God spoke, and he came into life"),
and gave him to wife Aseneth, the daughter of Putiphares, the priest of the

What is Josephs Egyptian name?
"The Hebrew scribe must have slipped into the use of the common Semitic root 'zaphan' when writing 'zaphenat' for the unfamiliar vocalization of Joseph's Egyptian name. [Kenneth] Kitchen concludes that the original was probably 'zat-en-aph', that is Djed(u)-en-ef (in Egypto-speak) meaning 'he who is called' - a phrase familiar to all Egyptologists. The expression was probably vocalized as 'zatenaf'." The first sentence would then read "Pharaoh named Joseph 'He who is called Pa'aneah'.". "It has long been recognized that 'aneah' represents the Egyptian word ankh (meaning 'life') or ankhu (meaning 'is alive'). Kitchen proposes that the initial 'Pa' or 'Pi' element stands for Egyptian lipi or lipu.

Unhearing of Truth
Ahmed Osman says:
Here is an apocryphal account of
Joseph and Anu-sets meeting and courtship. 
Joseph’s baby brother was named Ben-Anu or Ben-Oni by his mother, and was renamed Benjamin by his father. See Gen 35:18.
Had Rachel ever been to
‘A play upon the name "Benjamin." According to Gen.
xxxv. 18, it was the name given by the dying Rachel to her son Benjamin.”
Youngest son of Jacob by Rachel, who
died on the road between Beth-el and Ephrath, while giving him birth. She named
him "Ben-oni" (son of my sorrow); but Jacob, to avert the evil omen,
called him "Ben Yamin," son of the right hand; that is, of good
luck (Gen. xxxv. 17, 18).
was she sorrowful or proclaiming who her last son would be?
Why was it necessary for her husband to rename him? I do not think he
did! I think e translators wanted to give another spin to the story instead of
the truth that pointed to
“It was believed that the right
testicle produced masculine seed, and that when males were begotten they were
developed in the right side of the womb. Benjamin signifies "son of my
right side;" thus the name of a member of a family attests the reigning
notion. The name Benoni, given to the same individual by his mother, may mean,
literally, either "Son of Anu," or "Son of my On, Son of my
righteousness or Son of Righteousness. We
are using the correct definition of Anu as Righteousness and not Destruction.
They, Rachel and Jacob, were saying the same thin. The Son of Anu or Ben-Oni is the ‘Son of Man’ and ‘Son of my right side’ which designated he was a man born to a royal position.
Anu is the Egyptian word for Man according to a quote from ‘The African origin of Civilization’ by Diop.
‘According to Amélineau An means man
[in Diola]. Thus Anu originally may have meant men.’
According to other writers:
male, or active, principle was typified by the idea of "solidity," and
"firmness"; and the female, or passive, principle by
"water," "fluidity," or "softness." It is then, a
priori, probable that Anu was the name of the testis on the right
side…. The metaphors we sometimes hear, such as "king of the lower
world," "The original chief," "father of the Gods,"
"The old Anu," relates to these parts, and are of phallic import.
The Art of circumcision of the penis:
could render the oath more solemn in those days than touching the symbol of
creation, the sign of the covenant, and the source of that issue who may at any
future period avenge the breaking a compact made with their progenitor."
From this we learn that Abraham, himself a Chaldee, had reverence for the
phallus as an emblem of the Creator.”
It was the same in On

the penis shaft itself is Vav and the
ten toes on my two feet are the two Heys; this is the
third general HAVAYA (Havaya).”
Lettuce was thought to be the favorite food of the
fertility god, Min. He was depicted as a god with an erect penis, wearing a
feathered crown and carrying a flail. Lettuce was his sacred plant, and an
aphrodisiac to the ancient Egyptians - this particular species of lettuce was
tall, straight and secreted a milky substance when pressed.
Another aphrodisiac was the onion. They were forbidden to
the priests who had vowed celibacy, for fear that their passion might take over,
and that they might desecrate themselves!
Fennel, ginger, pomegranates, coriander in wine and
radishes mixed with honey were thought to have aphrodisiac qualities, too.
The Circle, bluntly, in Circle in the
Square represents the female, the rounded shape or 'hole' of her reproductive
organs, while the Square means the line of the penis. The Circle
is within the Square, that is symbolically and effectively ruled by the male,
even where metaphysically (for instance in the medieval cosmogony where the
encircling ether or sky is female, while the encircled fountain represented by
the Hebrew letter yod is male), or materially (during coitus, or while
pregnant) she seems to surround and contain the male; for her purpose for being
is in nourishing and setting off the glory and power, and to serve, and
ultimately, "when she is good", to become the crown of the male
organ or as Wolfson explains, the woman's highest pride would be to inhabit
the very corona of the circumcised penis!  Hummm…………………….
and SUN SIGN: The sun was worshipped as a personified, life-giving deity in
Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and other major civilizations of history.
The more common symbol is the familiar face in the center of the sun's rays. A
dot or point in the center of a circle symbolizes the blending of male and
female forces. (See air, which also represents spirit, among the symbols for
Elements) Hindus call the midpoint in a circle the Bindu - the spark of
(masculine) life within the cosmic womb.

COMPASS (Masonic): The Masonic symbol of the compass and the
T-square represents movement toward perfection and a balance between the
spiritual and physical which resembles Egyptian and oriental mysticism. The
compass (used to form circles) represents spirit. The ruler (part of a square)
represent the physical. Some public schools pass out pencil cases and other
gifts decorated with this emblem.
What of Circumcision
and it’s meaning outside of the covenant?
“From Herodotus we are
informed the Syrians learned circumcision from the Egyptians, as did the
Hebrews. Says Dr. Inman:
do not know any thing which illustrates the difference between ancient and
modern times more than the frequency with which circumcision is spoken of in the
sacred books, and the carefulness with which the subject is avoided now. To
speak of any man as being worthy or contemptible, as men and women did among the
Jews, according to the condition of an organ never named, and very rarely
alluded to, in a mixed company of males and females among ourselves, shows us
that persons holding such ideas must have thought far more of these matters, and
spoken of them more freely, than we have been taught to do. Abundance of
offspring is the absorbing promise to the faithful; a promise liable to fail
except the parts destined to that purpose were in an appropriate
So, the Kabalistic rendering of the

We see that Jacob who obviously
understood the allusion to ‘Son of my right [hand] testicle”, also
understood the power of Ben-Oni’s name. But remember we are reading the sanitized

That is why the translators did not

account. He was not counted as a Son

descendant of Ruth the Moabitess and he was probably a Pharaoh.
minimalists hold that David and his
details of David's life given in these articles come from the Hebrew Bibles and
are not corroborated by other historical documents. However, an ancient
inscription found at Tel Dan is generally considered to refer to a king of the
"House of David", providing indirect evidence that David did
exist as a historical king.”
According to the Talmud (Bava
Basra 91a) David’s mother was: Nizbet bas Adael where they got the name is unknown as well as the
meaning of her name. Although, there is not other reference to that or any other
name in history. David was considered in the Bible as a bastard or born out of
wedlock and his father Jesse was ashamed of him.
Well, Ok enough
of the Talmud. So, I tried to break down the name in Hebrew.
Niz or Nes:
Hebrew word nes is defined in the Even Shoshan dictionary as follows:
1) A banner, standard
or identifying sign of a unit
2) A miraculous event,
3) An island, dry land
surrounded by sea (from Greek nesos). A sign or remembrance.
Bet: is a house
or the number two.
Bas: means Daughter of.
El: God or
mighty one as in Elohim, used in ancient times at the ending of names to say
what god you served as in Dani’el.
David’s mother name may have meant:
Niz [Nes]bet – The miracle
or banner for the Great House.
Ada’El – The Ornament of
The House of Egypt is called the
‘Great House’ or Pharaoh. Ahmed Osman says when Joseph cried the ‘House of
Pharaoh’ heard, and that is another name for the Wife of Pharaoh.
Together her name means: The sign
or the Great House, the daughter of the ornament of El.
Who could that possibly have been?
Let us look to an
Tutmoses III mother was said to have
been a concubine of Tutmoses II said to be Auset or Isis. This may have been
another Isis and not the original Isis who was married to Osiris and
is the Kings concubine mean? Concubine is a minor wife or second wife.
‘Pharaohs also had
a host of 'minor wives' but, since succession did not automatically pass
to the eldest son, such women are known to have plotted to assassinate their
royal husbands and put their sons on the throne. Given their ability to directly
affect the succession, the term 'minor
wife' seems infinitely preferable to the archaic term 'concubine'.
Yet even the word
'wife' can be problematic, since there is no evidence for any kind of legal or
religious marriage ceremony in ancient
There is no
unambiguous evidence of a man having more than one wife at a time, although
there is some evidence of men who fathered children by a servant girl when their
wives were unable to conceive.

daughter of the Ornament of El.
‘Such women were given
the title 'ornament of the king', chosen for their grace and beauty to
entertain with singing and dancing. But, far from being closeted away for the
king's private amusement, such women were important members of court and took an
active part in royal functions, state events and religious ceremonies.’ 
Isis or Auset means: Throne or seat of authority.

is interesting! Her name is an honor or miracle a sign for the house that is an ornament
for a mighty man or God in the Hebrew sense and in the Egyptian he was an
ornament of the Pharaoh.
David is the one who was related to Ruth the Moabitess and the foundation on
which the Messiah was to come forth. But, why then would his father not count
him among those who were to be examined by Samuel?
“Then Jesse called
Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "The LORD has not
chosen this one either." Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said,
"The LORD has not chosen this one either." Thus Jesse made seven of
his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not
chosen these." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the
children?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and behold,
he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring
him; for we will not sit down until he comes here." 1 Sam. 16:8-11
not counted in with Jesse 7 sons and they did not sit down? Why? Was this an
allusion to his royalty?
Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse,
"The Lord has not chosen these." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are
all your sons here?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest,
but behold, he is keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send
and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comes here." And he sent,
and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was
handsome. And The Lord said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he." Then
Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and
the Spirit of The Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward." (1
