I noticed something and
had something of an epiphany. The pyramids represented on the US bills are not
the pyramids of GIZA as everyone seems to discuss and assume.
They are in fact the pyramids of Kush, in what is now Sudan. These were built
from around 500BC, by the Nubians who eventually became pharos of Upper and
Lower Egypt. They had been ruled by Egypt
proper a thousand years or 2 before hand, but after that had stopped, they
maintained many of the ancient ways, and so reintroduced forgotten arts and
styles back once they ruled Egypt. They are in a totally different style to
the original Pyramids of Saqqara or Giza.
For one thing, they were built after the Pharo's death by his successor. Most
importantly here though, these pyramids reflect the same style as the ones on
the dollar bills; steep sided, were usually, although not always, built
purposefully without a cap stone of any kind, and with ridges running up each
side/edge. Maybe there is more to this.
Ancient Nubia: The
region referred to as Lower Egypt is the northernmost portion. Upper Nubia
extends south into Sudan and can be subdivided into several separate areas
such as Batn El Hajar or "Belly of Rocks", the sands of the Abri-Delgo Reach,
or the flat plains of the Dongola Reach. Nubia, the hottest and most arid
region of the world, has caused many civilizations to be totally dependent on
the Nile for existence.
Historically Nubia has been a
nucleus of diverse cultures. It has been the only occupied strip of land
connecting the Mediterranean world with "tropical" Africa. Thus, this put the
people in close and constant contact with its neighbors for long periods of
history and Nubia was an important trade route between sub-Saharan Africa and
the rest of the world. Its rich material culture and tradition of languages are
seen in archaeological records. The most prosperous period of Nubian
civilization was that of the kingdom of Kush, which endured from about 800 BC to
about 320 AD. During this time, the Nubians of Kush would at one point, assume
rule over all of Nubia as well as Upper and Lower Egypt...

Archaeologists have found a vast new network of royal tombs in Ethiopia, near the site where the 1,700-year-old Axum obelisk is to be re-erected. Experts using sophisticated imaging equipment discovered the burial chambers, even older than the obelisk, under a 1963 car park, said the UN. The stone monoliths were originally erected to mark burial sites for deceased members of the aristocracy. The final piece of the Axum obelisk was flown homefrom Italy on Monday. The whole structur...Early humans 'followed coast'
The first humans who left Africa to populate the world headed south along the coast of the Indian Ocean, Science magazine reports. Scientists had always thought the exodus from Africa around 70,000 years ago took place along a northern route into Europe and Asia. But according to a genetic study, early modern humans followed the beach, possibly lured by a seafood diet. They quickly reached Australia but took much longer to settle in Europe. Dr Martin Richards, of the University of...Stone age mass graves reveal green Sahara
Submitted by Marvy: One of the driest deserts in the world, the Saharan Tenere Desert, hosted at least two flourishing lakeside populations during the Stone Age, a discovery of the largest graveyard from the era reveals. The archaeological site in Niger, called Gobero, was discovered by Paul Sereno at the University of Chicago, during a dinosaur-hunting expedition. It had been used as a burial site by two very different populations during the millennia when the Sahara was lush. Careful examinati...The African foundations of New York
The remains of 20,000 African men, women and children have lain beneath the busy streets of New York for 300 years, waiting to tell their stories on the extent of slavery in the city. In March 1992, leading African-America archaeologist Michael Blakey arrived at the burial ground in downtown Manhattan. "I had readabout these people documented as chattel, " he said. "Now I was going to learn about these Africans in New York as human beings." A haunting sight greeted hi...Witchcraft legalised in Zimbabwe
News coming out of Zimbabwe has been surreal for quite some time, but from this month it could become even more so, as witchcraft and wizardry are legal again after a 107-year ban. But if President Robert Mugabe's new legislation is applied humanely then only good witches will find any solace in it, as the act prohibits the practice of witchcraft by people who use their supernatural powers to harm others.The 1899 prohibition which made it illegal to accuse anyone of being a witch or a wizard...The Mysteries of the Dogan People

In many western countries, when an old person dies it is simply the death of
an old human being who has gone through life and whose days on earth now come to
an end. But in Africa, the death of an elder- an old man or an old woman,
becomes a supreme disaster because in the mind of that elder often carries
knowledge passed down from parent to child. Knowl...The Memories of a Distant Star (Sirius)
The Dogan people of west of Africa
have a detailed knowledge of the universe that is astonishingly accurate. was it
as they claim, passed on by Ancient astronauts? Like many African tribes, the
Dogon people of the Republic of Mali have a shadowed past. They settled on the
Bandiagara Plateau, where they now live, some time between the 13th and 16th
centuries. For most of the year, their homeland - 300 miles (500 km) south of
Timbuktu - is a desolate, arid, rocky terrain of cliffs an...Comparison of Four African Creation Myths
