An amazing discovery has been made by a Spanish-Italian archaeological team in Egypt – an ancient reproduction of the mythical Tomb of Osiris, the god of the dead in Egyptian mythology, was found in the necropolis of Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, on the West Bank at Thebes.

The tomb complex is a huge multi-level structure which includes numerous chambers and shafts. It consists of a massive hall hold together by five pillars and has a staircase leading down to the funerary complex adorned with the carvings of Osiris. The funerary room also has the reliefs of demons brandishing knives, which, according to the archeological team, were placed there to guard the body of the deceased.

The tomb is constructed around the emerald statue of the god, which is located in a central vaulted chapel and faces a staircase with a 29.5 foot long shaft cut into it. This shaft leads to another empty chamber, which, in turn, has another, 19.6 feet long shaft connecting to two other rooms. Here is a sketch showing the entire structure of the tomb of Osiris:

The researchers consider that the ancient tomb was built between 760 BC and 525 BC, date corresponding to the period of the rule of the 25th dynasty (760 – 656 BC) and the 26th dynasty (672 – 525 BC). This estimation is mostly based on the architectural similarity of the newly discovered tomb with another funeral complex devoted to Osiris – the so-called Osireion located in the city of Abydos, Luxor.

According to an article written in Luxor Times Magazine, the Osirian symbolism is very clear in this ancient tomb, which contains “a big staircase of 3.5 meter long with a 4 meter high ceiling at the bottom leading to the Netherworld and another one leading directly to the Osiris statue, which is therefore at a higher level and ideally isolated on ‘his island’; the Osiris statue itself; the empty corridor surrounding it which symbolizes the channel of water (see Osireion in Abydos); the expected burial chamber below the statue, thus identifying the deceased with Osiris.

In 1887, the tomb complex was partly discovered by Philippe Virey, but it was unearthed to its full extent only recently. The archaeology team plans to continue the exploration of the timeworn funerary complex at the beginning of 2016.

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

- July 20, 2019

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...

Synergistic Energy Exchange And Black Consciousness

- January 28, 2020

I was in a deep conversation with a Brother whose knowledge I had come to respect. He could read the Medu Neter and lullaby the story of Ausar. He could quote the Koran. He could cite Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad. His freestyle was conscious and rhythmic. He was the manifestation of Black power, and yet his weakness, his Kryptonite, the chink in his chain mail was …sex. His train of thought was repeatedly broken by every woman that walked by. He would stop in mid-sentence with a “damn!” in response to every pair of lips and hips that crossed his field of view. His schedule revolved around gaining physical access to the next female. He never stopped “putting his bid in”. Over time, my respect for the him diminished; there was something dishonest about his behavior when it came to women. I knew this, because like most men, I had experienced it myself. Once upon a time, sex ruled everything around me. Dr. Lalaila O. Afrika said it best in his timeless book, African Holistic...

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

- April 07, 2021

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 ...

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

- January 28, 2020

“…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. ...

Eye of Horus Meaning

- January 12, 2020

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. ...

What You Should Know About Henry Highland Garnet – The Pan African Preacher Who Called Slaves To Rebellion

- January 27, 2020

Table of Contents [ hide ] Who Is Henry Highland Garnet How Henry Highland Garnet Became One Of The Founders of Pan-Africanism Henry Highland Garnet’s Call To Rebellion Henry Highland Garnet Primary Sources And Books “Neither god, nor angels, or just men, command you to suffer for a single moment. Therefore it is your solemn and imperative duty to use every means, both moral, intellectual, and physical that promises success.” – H.H. GARNET Those were the words of the baddest Black man of the 19th Century. Never heard of him? There is a reason why. History would like us to forget men like Henry Highland Garnet because he argued for active armed resistance to slavery in a time when appealing to white Christians was the thing to do. In an 1843 speech to the National Negro Convention in Buffalo, New York, he said “You had far better all die—die immediately, than live slaves and entail your wretchedness upon your posterity.” Garnet’s critics – including Frederic...

Akanfo Nanasom

- July 09, 2019

Akanfo (ah-kahn'-foh) in the Twi language of the Akan means Akan people. Akanfo originated in ancient Khanit , also called Keneset (Ancient Nubia), at the beginning of human existence upon Asaase (Earth). This is the region of contemporary Sudan and South Sudan in the Eastern region of Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) . We eventually migrated around the world. Some Akanfo migrated north of Khanit and settled ancient Kamit (ancient Egypt), while others remained in Khanit. Over the millennia, Akanfo migrated to West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (West Africa) establishing the ancient civilization of Akana (Khanat - Ghana). Some Akanfo were also a component of the Kanem empire (pre-Bornu), the original/authentic Black Berber empire (Abibiri-fo) and the Kong empire (Kan) before ultimately migrating to and settling in the areas of contemporary Ghana (Akana) and Ivory Coast. Akanfo presently comprise approximately 45.3 percent of the population of Ghana (11,000,000) and approximately 42...

Ancient Egypt Religion, Gods, goddesses, priests and Priestesses

- January 12, 2020

The Ancient Egyptians are perhaps best known for their complex religion, whose hundreds of ancient Egyptians gods were worshiped in some of the most spectacular temples ever built. As early as 17,000 BCE, carvings of wild cattle alongside strange hybrid creatures at the site of Qurta in southern Egypt suggest an early belief in the hidden forces of nature. With Egypt’s earliest stone sculpture at about 7,000 years old believed to represent a cow, it is clear this was an animal that played an important role in the lives of the early Egyptians. So too did their desert environment, in which the dominant Sun was worshiped as a variety of gods, much like the River Nile, whose annual life-bringing floodwaters were likewise venerated as divine. As these aspects of the natural world gradually developed into individual gods, each region of Egypt also had their own local deities whose characters evolved through stories and myths. One of the key myths for the...

The Egyptian Roots Of Why We Say Amen After Prayer

- January 12, 2020

Christianity is currently the largest religion on the planet, with an estimated 2.2 billion followers worldwide, making up a staggering 31% of the earth’s population. The overriding message of religion is that of peace, acceptance and love, although unfortunately many followers (and teachers) do not practice in this way. One of the words that are most commonly spoken in Christianity is the word “Amen” this can be spoken after prayer, before and after meals or when someone says something holy. The agreed upon definition for the word “Amen” is “so be it” like an affirmation of your action or speech. However, many followers of the bible believe it has many meanings such as- to take care, to be faithful, reliable or established, or to believe someone or something. If you go a little further back in time there is a very strong link to Amen and Egypt. Amen (Amun) is the Egyptian god known as “king of the gods” and it is believed he was later emulated by the Greek god Zeus. ...
