Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan Want To Make A Film About African King Mansa Musa Who Was The Richest Man In History

-


Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan have two films under their belt and they are on fire! Jordan has been booming in his own right with role in the Fantastic Four film.
The pair hit a home run with Creed and now know they have a good thing going, their success in Hollywood could rely on each other and the powerhouse duo plan to keep that in tact.
Jordan said (not sure of the original source of this quote):
“You got to tell stories in today, or in the future,”
“Or can we go back even further? There’s always one period that people want to go back to, but can we go back to Hannibal? Or Mansa Musa, destroying economies as he traveled? Can we go back to the Egyptians?”
Mansa Musa, the richest man in history! Wealthe adjusted he would have been worth around $400 billion in todays money!
The king of Mali ruled est Africa’s Malian Empire in the early 1300s.
I would LOVE to see this movie!

The Vatican Removed 14 Books From the Bible In 1684 With No Real Explanation

-
Image
Typically when the Bible is brought up in conversation, what comes to mind is a source of truth that has not been tampered with. However, when this book was originally published it contained 80 books and current editions only have 66, and we have to wonder what exact purpose the removal of 14 books would serve? The Vatican Church or Roman catholic church has been associated with deception for ages. Their atrocities have ranged from  genocide  many centuries ago against the Cathars to  child molestation  is more recent years. The Bible was originally translated from Latin into English in 1611. This “original” Bible contained 80 books, including the Apocrypha, which means hidden. These  Apocrypha books made up the end of the Old Testament, and included the following books: • 1 Esdras • 2 Esdras • Tobit • Judith • The rest of Esther • The Wisdom of Solomon • Ecclesiasticus • Baruch with the epistle Jeremiah • The Songs of the...

Vatican In Shock As 1,500-Year-Old Bible Claims Jesus Wasn’t Crucified

-
Image
An approximately 1,500-2,000-year-old Bible found in Turkey has left the Vatican in shock because it allegedly confirms that Jesus Christ wasn’t crucified as has come to be widely believed. The Bible, which was discovered in 2000 and kept in secret in Ankara’s Ethnography Museum, contains the gospel of Jesus’ disciple Barnabas. The gospel claims that Christ was  neither crucified  nor was he God’s son. Instead, it says he was just a prophet. The book also refers to Apostle Paul as “The Impostor” and further claims that Christ ascended back to heaven alive, with Judas Iscariot being crucified in his place. The now controversial book was recovered during an operation in the Mediterranean-area as authorities went against a gang that smuggles antiquities and illegal explosives, says a report by The National Turk. The old book is currently valued at a whopping 40 million Turkish Liras, approximately $28 million. Experts and religious bodies have examined the book an...

Why Black Christians May Be Shocked To Learn Who The Real Father of Christianity Is

-
Image
It is no secret that Christianity has been used as a tool for world domination and white supremacy. Therefore, in understanding the world around us we must also understand how Christianity was altered and used by Europeans to conquer the world. Christianity as you know it and practice it was not ‘created’ by Christ, but by a Roman Emperor – Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus. You know him as Constantine. Constantine’s Rise To Power Constantine was a vice-Caesar to Emperor Diocletian in the East. His father, Constantinus, was a Caesar under Emperor Maximinian who had won a number of battles and had earned the loyalty of a large part of the Roman military in the West. When Constantinus died suddenly in 306, the loyalty of the Army would pass to his son Constantine. In 303, Emperor Diocletian had begun one of the worst persecutions of Christians in history. Christians were fed to beasts as entertainment for the Roman masses, their churches were destroyed, their ...

How an Ashanti princess established the Akan lineage in Ivory Coast after sacrificing her son in the 1700s

-
Image
For their proud display of wealth and culture and their dominance in West African history, the Ashanti tribe till date remains one of the most prominent and popular clans of the Akan ethnic group in West Africa. Today, they are mostly found in all parts of Ghana and neighboring Cote d’Ivoire but originally emerged from modern Ghana. Led by Princess Pokou who later became queen, some members of the Ashanti tribe moved and settled in Cote d’Ivoire, where they are now known as the Baoule people and identify themselves as Akan rather than a subgroup of the Ashanti. The Baoule tribe is one of the biggest in Cote d’Ivoire. Princess Ewurabena Pokou was born on a Tuesday between 1700 and 1720 in Kumasi, Ghana. Her father was a warrior who was not documented because he had no royal lineage. Princess Pokou gained her royalty through the matrilineal culture of the Ashantis. Her mother, Nyakou Kosiamoa was the niece of Osei Kofi Tutu I, co-founder of the Ashanti Empire. Akan Princess...

4 African Kings Who Ruled India That Have Been Erased From History

-
Image
“…The darkest man is here the most highly esteemed and considered better than the others who are not so dark. Let me add that in very truth these people portray and depict their gods and their idols black and their devils white as snow. For they say that God and all the saints are black and the devils are all white. That is why they portray them as I have described.” – Marco Polo,after visiting the Pandyan Kingdom in 1288 More than a thousand years before the foundations of Greece and Rome, proud and industrious Black men and women known as the Dravidian erected a powerful civilization in the Indus Valley. From those origins, African Kings in India drove the region’s commerce, culture, and belief systems. Dr. Clyde Winters, author of Afrocentrism: Myth or Science? writes: “Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians. In fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India. These Ethiopians were called the Naga. It was the Naga who created Sanskrit. ...

Heaven and Hell Do Not Exist – Africans Have Been Lied to For Centuries

-
Image
The idea of heaven and hell are till today, the most genius, tricky and heinous lies that have been told to mankind. And its effect is more disastrous in Africa. The concepts of ‘Heaven’ and ‘Hell’ are pure fabrications and a tool used to subdue the consciousness and retaliation of Africans. Heaven and hell are European tools of manipulation.  The world is where all flesh must enjoy a bountiful life or suffer a harsh life. Period!!! There is no white God is the sky. And there is no devil in hell. Of course, what kind of God would sit in the sky and watch the whole world in chaos and do nothing? Doesn’t it surprise you that the same Europeans who brought Africans the story of heaven and hell will arrest you if you dared  preached about God in the streets of London? The same people who brought the Bible and preached the “ Vanity ” gospel are hell bent on milking the resources in Africa, to enrich themselves. Why aren’t they seeing our gold, copper, diam...

Eye of Horus Meaning

-
Image
Certain mythological struggles between the god Horus and his uncle Seth made the eye of Horus symbolize the whole, that which has returned to its being and has been completed. The  ancient Egyptians  called it Udjat, wadjet or wedjat. This narration tells how Horus had to fight fiercely with his uncle Seth to avenge the death of his father Osiris. In the battle Horus lost his left eye, which was damaged or stolen by Seth, having to be replaced by the Udjat. Eye of Horus meaning: Horus’s left eye was related to the Moon, while his right eye was identified with the sun. The connection point between the Udjat and the Moon is due to a version of the myth that tells that the injured eye had to be healed and rebuilt by the  god  Thoth. The healing process was perceived in nature through the lunar phases, that is, the Moon modified its appearance when it was in a trance of healing and the Full Moon appeared when the Eye of Horus was completely healed. ...

Everything Around Us is Energy, and We Have the Ability to Control it With the Power of Our Thoughts

-
Image
by KOBY PI Without any doubt, the Nobel Prize awardees in physics proved that the physical world is one big ocean of energy which materializes and dematerializes in a split second, over and over again. Nothing in the world is solid. This is the world of quantum physics. They have proved that the thoughts are responsible for holding this  ever-changing energy field  together in the form, as well as the shape of the objects that we know. So, why do we see a person, instead of flashing clusters of energy? You should think of a film roll. A fill is a collection of about 24 frames per second. Each of the frames is separated from the other by a small space. In comparison to the speed these frames change with, our eyes are tricked and see them as a continuous film. Also, you should think about television. The cathode tube is just a simple tube that has a bunch of electrons hitting the screen in some way, making an illusion of shape and movement. Any...

Black Super New Moon July-August 2019

-
Image
On July 31st or August 1st, depending on the time zone you live in, we have a Black Super Moon in the sign of Leo. A Black Moon is the name that is given to the second New Moon in a calendar month. Even though some countries will experience this New Moon in August, it is still considered a Black Moon due to its proximity to the start of the month. This Black Moon is also a Super Moon, meaning that it’s nice and close to planet Earth. When this happens, the tides are more affected by the vibrations of the Moon, and so too are we. The Black Super New Moon also brings the start of a new lunar cycle, and this new cycle comes after a series of very potent and transformative Eclipses.  In many ways, the start of this new cycle will be helping us to integrate and settle into the wounds, transformations, and changes the  July Eclipses  may have triggered. If the Eclipses have stirred things or brought change in your life, this Black Moon will allow you to softe...

“Black Magic”: Spirituality Is The Supreme Technology Of The Melanated Mind

-
Image
If you watch enough TV you will start to believe that Magic, Occult Science, and Advanced Spirituality started with Europeans and is exclusively European, as it the case of too many young melanated minds. We are made to believe that when melanated peoples engage and interact with the spiritual realm it somehow evil or wicked. Due to the lack of Black representation in the modern ‘magic’ movies many melanated minds do not identify with the spiritual practices that ironically were established by their ancient African ancestors. Also, just to make sure we are on the same page, ALL MELANATED PEOPLES HAVE AFRICAN ORIGINS. There, I said it. An article from  Afropunk.com  speaks to the lack of Black representation in movies involving Magic, Witchcraft, Sorcery and other areas of “dark” spiritual practices:  “There’s something so mesmerizing about the idea of being able to say an incantation that can get someone to tell the truth or to see into the future. Can ...
