recently returned from an exciting
fourteen day Alaskan cruise that
took them to many interesting ports.
Highlight of their trip was Glacier

ice.” Mrs. Bell considered her trip
to be unbelievably beautiful and very
educational

(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! .
