Page 8 Portland Observer Tburaday September 7. 1978 CBifc & '7‘ifiCU by Ruth Spencer Mr. a rd Mrs. Luther Bell tLdban) recently returned from an exciting fourteen day Alaskan cruise that took them to many interesting ports. Highlight of their trip was Glacier Bay described as "rivers of moving ice.” Mrs. Bell considered her trip to be unbelievably beautiful and very educational Ronda Triplett Green has been recently appointed Acting Director of the N A A C P Job Search Program K ing Tut (Continued from Page 3 Column 6) "th e re is only one G o d ! " The Hebrews in captivity paid strict at tention — and "The Greeks called them G o d s." (Egypt Under The Pharaohs,‘ Putnam and Sons; Diop, ‘The African Origin of Civilization', N atio n al Geographic M agazine, May, 1965.) The specific tragedy detailed by the citations is that later, 26th Dynasty, 664 B .C ., this A frican k in g . Psammetichus, conceived what he thought to be a neat idea for keeping the Greek portions o f the empire under strict control and sur- veilance — which was to infiltrate every crook and cranny of the empire with Greek-named, Greek-speaking Africans who understood all the cultural and administrative struc tures of the subject people. The con sequence of this is that all of the genius and accomplishments o f Greek-named Africans from this period to the glorious heights o f A lexandria is attributed to the Greeks. Who for the most part were still sitting on stone furniture . . . and wearing animal skins — when not tripping o ff to the temple schools in Africa to learn civilization; "Th e Greeks sent their young men to be educated in Egypt, as today students from Egypt go to Europe; Atkinson, ‘ Magic, Myth and Medicine.’ This glorious company of culture- seekers (M instrels) who brought back their knowledge to Greece as the alleged founders o f Western Civilization included Plato, Thales, Democritus, Sophocles, Solon. Pin dar and Pythagorus. among others. And from what we know now, about Psammetichus, any or all o f them, could have been as Black as King T u t, " W h a t’s in a name?” (See Hogben, ‘ M athem atics For the M illion’; Tompkins, ‘Secrets of the Great Pyramid.’) This same tragic caper o f King Psammetichus transcends 22 hun dred years of time to provide false premise for the ‘ju s tific a tio n ’ o f A frican slavery in C olonial Am erica (viz a viz the lib e ra l philosopher John Locke) — and 200 years later becomes the prediction for the 19th century concept “ The manifest destiny of the white races, as exem plified in American territorial expansion, the return of the Blacks to slavery through, lynch ing, Jim Crow laws and loss of the franchise, and the almost total obliteration of that native American, the Indian. (Weinberg, ‘ Manifest Destiny’; Commager, ‘Documents of American History'; Russell, ‘History of W estern Philosophy. ’) And if that is not quite enough, in conclusion we shall take a brief look at King Tut’s bloodline, sickle cells and all: A. J .A . Rogers, an important historian o f this era; " T h e 18th Dynasty of King Tut was of almost unmixed Negro strain; its two prin cipal figures, Amenophis 111 and his son Akhenaton appear to have no white blood at all.” (Sex and Race; Volume I, 1943, Page 54.) B. The German Historian Alexan der Von Wuthenau says o f Tutankhamen that "the features of King Tut, whose mother was of pure Black stock, are almost as Negroid as those o f his captured N ubian enemies.” ( ‘ Unexpected Faces in Ancient America: 1500 B .C .-A .D .’, Page 136.) And then there is the Jolly Green Giant, who before the Minstrels lay hold of him, was the green-skinned Osiris, the African God of vegetation and the resurrection function atten- dent to the Spring Equinox — ap pearing on temple walls throughout the 18th Dynasty of Tut Thanks to Phtarch and Moret we are able to trace his birthday celebration to the first of the intercalary days (361st day corresponds to December 26th) — and in the 4th century, Pope Julius I Fixed this eve as the official birthday o f Christ, December 25th. Jolly Green Giant indeed! — Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! . at Modesto, C alifo rn ia.
