Like it or Not, it’s a Kemet History Lesson

I was dosed off for about a month or two, by the time I had fully recovered it was approaching the end of January 2009.  I and Ta-hawa were in a wooden cottage on the bank of the river of Nzadi, near a village in the Nzadi commune, I spent my days wondering what was I doing here in Angola, and shockingly, Maquela do Zombu.

Being here was not due to protection there had to be something more to this so-called Lubaya who just happened to also be Sekhmet. Why was I here? why was I worth protecting? More interesting, why would someone or people hire a mercenary to assassinate me?

Ta-hawa seemed determined, unlike I, who knew what was going on, what was to come but I… I was still in the dark.

Jk: Makela, exactly what are you?

Makela: A human being if that's what you want to know. [laughing]

Jk: I'm not amused. You said two worlds shared this continent and that you come from the other.

Makela: yes.

Jk: how's that possible?

Makela: I do not know how that is possible. A long time ago, this continent was called Kemet by its people. The Bakongo still call it Kemet in our language. The Greeks called it Olympia, others Oceania, Atlantis, and so forth though it is originally, Alkebulan; Eden. The point is, it has had many names and holds history and information that modern science will never fathom.

Jk: get to the point!

Makela: when muntu; man, noticed that he was alone and needed a sort of Devine revelation, he was blessed by what was then called the Mysteries. Over the years the founders of the West learned from this and distorted it to what is known today by your people as the Sciences.

Makela took what seemed like ages to explain that the people of both worlds were once one. After Kammatu Scribes, Apostles and Priests taught the first Greeks; Kammatu philosophy, the Kammatu scribes became suspicious of Greek intensions and therefore built a New System, like a new world sort of thing. Oh, you are probably wondering what is Kammatu. Kammatu or Kememu is the word for Kemet natives from our side of the continent, you know them as the ancient Egyptians. 

Right, a new world was formed where essential information of the world could be hidden. The first war between Kammatu and the Greeks is not recorded in Western history though it was the War of Zayi (Greeks call it the Olympic War) which dated way back. 

The aftermath was catastrophic to a degree of unimaginable, both Greeks and Kammatu lost in mass and value. The Pharaoh, Apostles, Councils, and scribes set, discussed, and deliberated the fate of Kemet and all that belonged to Her. Half of the remaining Kammatu population were shifted to the new First World to start a new life while the other refused to leave.

A century later the Second War of Zayi occurred and the Kammatu were prepared in eminent number and value. Africa became a battlefield, the Nile, Zambezi, and Kongo Basin turned into blood pools and by the record, it is the longest war recorded in human history. Nine hundred ninety-nine years of war which was nine hundred years before the Iberian Religious wars. Over what? Zayi.

Zayi means wisdom. The Greeks as students wanted to know more about the world and the true origin of their kind, the Kammatu unlike the Greeks knew their purpose and objective in life which was to serve Nzambi-a-Mpungu whom you refer to as God All-Mighty. The Greeks enlightened by this seed to what the Westerners claim today as Greek Philosophy whom the Greeks learned from Kemet and the only contribution they had ever given to the knowledge was replacing the names with their own. 

The Greeks wished to know who they were, if they had served an equal purpose as the Kammatu but the Kammatu knowing the truth and the inevitable future refused, this turned into envy, jealousy, dislike, and eventually into detest. There's a particular scroll called the Scroll of Zayi. This scroll holds all the answers to all questions, it contains the very balance that made the soul, spirit, and bodies one, and much like the Holy Scripture, it is believed to be God in written form. The wisdom in the scroll served as a metronome for muntu. 

Many have never seen it, no one in recent times even knows if it's an actual scroll nevertheless the only people who have come close to it are the Pharaoh's inner power circle, the Scribes, and Apostles. To the Greeks, if there was only one God who alone created the cosmos and man was His children then why were children meant to serve, is the seed of God, not a god?

This nature of thought raised more questions and curiosity which only brought illusions among the Greeks to a point of questioning the existence of Nzambi. The Kammatu, unlike the Greeks, knew that being was more essential than obtaining, believing was more essential than acquiring knowledge to reduce doubt, for Nzambi is not a matter of understanding though a matter of faith. The more curious the Greeks became the more they wanted access to the Scroll.

 According to Ta-hawa, the only thing that is known about the Scroll is a metal seal engraved with the words "Nzambi is the central force of the cosmos" and that's about it.

After the Second War of Zayi, Greeks lost in numbers and were afraid to face the might of the Kammatu and began to use smarter methods.

 These methods were not known for year's, in fact, centuries. The Kammatu who remained on the African part of the continent multiplied and expanded the borders of Kemet and are known today as the Bantu. The Kammatu who had begun their new lives in the First World remained there and kept the name Kemet while the Bantu remained, Alkebulan, The Cradle of Existence.

During these years of silent hostility between the Twins (Kemet and Alkebulan) and Greece, both Kingdoms had grown in great numbers and expanded to sub-kingdoms occupied by different people of the same origin. Clans, tribes, and nations were built by the might of the Bantu, weaker groups of people found in the desired land by the Bantu were taken by force. The expansion of the Bantu to the south of the continent nearly caused the extinction of any group of people found within the desired area.

It is the only mass genocide unspoken of in contemporary Africa. Kingdoms rose like skyscrapers, businesses and trade were key among neighbouring kingdoms. Science, literacy, military, dominion, discipline, and supernatural sciences were the most common practice and behaviour among the Bantu.

Due to the destruction that the Greeks had caused in Troy, the survivors gave birth to Rome which was by birth an enemy of the Greeks. Even though the Kammatu shared a mutual enemy, they never befriended the Romans and eventually, the Romans too wanted to dominate the remaining part of Kemet in Alkebulan and were unsuccessful in fifty-nine attempts before and after the divide.

I would love to give the dates of these events but this is not a History lesson. Now back to the Greeks. The Greeks elude records of the battles that they have lost, especially those with the Kammatu. Years after conflicts with Persian invaders and Romans and not to mention the mighty conquest of Alexandre the Great, the Greeks expanded to other parts beyond their land which you know today as Europe, and along with the expansion was the infiltration of a secret order, the descendants of the Greeks who became "master thinkers" due to Kemet enlightenment, a crusade of nights whose sole mission was to obtain the Scroll of Zayi or as they call it, the Holy Grail.

To exploit the embed wisdom as knowledge to usher the dawn of a New World Order. They called themselves the Nights of Order, Night Templars and they also call themselves the Bearers of Light but we called them the Munssu from the Kikongo word munsula, meaning; an evildoer. 

When the Bantu and Kammatu Apostles who were sages and Keepers of Knowledge and Wisdom, united both worlds of the continent to face a common adversary and established a creed to serve the Bantu, Kammatu and guard the Scroll of Zayi. Sages of knowledge and Wisdom transcended into an elite of super-warriors under the Apostles' creed; "Arms have become us to guard the Wisdom of Salvation against the seed of Corruption".

What went wrong? It was after the Fourth War of Zayi that Alkebulan broke the bond with Kemet, the Divide.  The Fourth War of Zayi was pandemonium and the casualties were Bantu. The death of so many Bantu broke the bond between the two and due to this, the Creed was divided. The Agreement at the end of the war in 1192 was for Kammatu to never interfere in Bantu affairs. The post-Africa Zayi War was equivalent to a broken egg.

The war had set the Bantu years back, the sons of great leaders who became successors of their fallen fathers had to rebuild from the rubble. Fortunately, scrolls and manuscripts were left behind as a blueprint to rebuild what once was the Garden of Eden.

This prospect had not reached its feat, the Paled Faces began to explore other parts of the world and fancied Alkebulan the most. Their presence resulted in the colonization of what came to be called Africa. 

The gates that provided entrance into Alkebulan were sealed until the Akan-Kammatu discovered loopholes in the gates that divided both worlds, joining forces of radicalism and intellect resulting in what became an independent country in 1957 from colonial rule. A few years later the Kongo from the Kemet side decided to interfere too.

This was during the African decolonization period, the Kongo-Kammatu aided Angola to independence, too much knowledge can lead to corruption, and thus was the mistake of the Kongo-Kammatu. The result was 27 years of civil war, the same war that killed my parents. The gates were sealed for the second time until the year 2000 when the Maditau reopened the gates. 

The Kongo of Kemet provoked independence which gave birth to a civil war, if that was not bad enough, The Maditau was the cause of the aftermath. 

Kammatu!? Bantu!? Bearers of Light!? a one God Egyptian people!? (not even remotely possible!), A Scroll called Zayi which also happens to be the Holy Grail guarded by super sage warriors called Apostles. None of this made sense at that time. The only thing and the only question that I could manage after the history lecture was.

Jk: how's this my business?

Makela:  don't you understand?

Jk: I don't- I mean this sounds like a Greek myth... Apostles and Nights! what am I supposed to be a member of this Creed? or a son of Zeus?

Voice:  No. You are by blood an Apostle.

I looked around to see where the voice had come from and to my surprise, a giant tattooed lioness pounced into the compound and kept coming towards us, her hair was coated in gold, her tribal markings were as blue as neon, her eyes glowed like dying ambers. In fear, I backed up ready to take the broom on my right and defend myself, however, several things happened. 

The giant tattooed lioness decreased in height and transformed into a young woman. She spoke again, "you are an Apostle, by the blood, that is". As young as she was, her voice was of an old wise, and experienced woman, and yet she looked in her early 20s.  "I am the Personification of Sekhmet or to the Kammatu, Lubaya, affectionately called the Maditau." She said firmly. So, this is the famous Maditau, I thought to myself.  

The Maditau wasn't tall in her natural form (that's what I thought at first. I came to learn that an Odum is Nature-Fluid but more on that later. let's carry on), the average height for a girl in her early 20s, she had an Afro doo, dark glamorous rich skin, and unblemished, she wore this black wrapper that only covered the parts of her body that had to be covered. Her arms, ankles, wrists, forearm, neck, and head were adorned in golden beads. In a nutshell, she had the look of an Ancient Egyptian goddess.  

Maditau: you imagined an old lady.

Jk: yeah- I mean yes.

Maditau: happens all the time [she smiled, warmly].

Makela: I use to think the Maditau was like that old scary lady on Shaka-Zulu.

Maditau: amusing but do not mistake me for youth for I am truly very old. Far older than that scary old lady on Shaka-Zulu. How do you feel Juda?

Jk: what do you mean?

Maditau: you have just witnessed a giant cat turn into a human being.

Jk: I don't know [perplexed]. This feels like a dream and I guess, I might wake up any moment now.

Maditau: well unfortunately it is not, I believe it would have been well if it were a dream. You would have woken up and continued your typical life of a drug dealer, ignorance is truly bliss though I assure you, remaining ignorant and having to fight your way to achieve your feat is not the same.

Jk: [perplexed].

Maditau: [she smiled again, only this time it was bewitching]. You want to know why you are here, what is your purpose. The African Colonization also served as a medium for the Munssu to eliminate every Bantu Apostle and any Bantu that possessed any supernatural attribute. Sadly, for them and it is due to their way of thinking, they had not known that besides inheriting talent it can be stored or passed over to one, not of family blood. Your parents were the last of the Apostles the Munssu assassinated.

Jk: so… so… Wait! my parents didn't die due to the civil war? Both my parents were Apostles?

Maditau: yes, and no [not particularly in that order]. Whether both parents were or not Apostles, that is not important now. We cannot change yesterday however the events of tomorrow depend on what we accomplish today.

Jk: and by that?

Maditau: you are the last Alkebulan Apostle. You shall begin your training at dawn the day after today.

Jk: after that?

Maditau: first, train then the rest shall reveal itself.

Makela: my mistress, have I proven myself worthy of the title?

Maditau: yes, my child. You have proven yourself worthy, Disciple. It seems that's even in your most lonely moments you are never alone, Juda.

Jk: hmm... [still puzzled]

Maditau: Makela shall be your partner, in everything you do or decide. Do and decide together.

The Maditau's words were reassuring. I was no longer alone but was that true? Ta-hawa was a Kongo-Kammatu, she had become a Disciple though to the Kammatu Apostle rite.

The Maditau had told me a bit about my life before South Africa and when my parents died at the hands of Deucalion Eisenhower a Munssu who is currently a 3rd Degree Grand Bearer.

He would have killed me until the Odum struck their forces down. Oh yeah, and Odum is a Mukongo of royal bloodline or subject such as a soldier or Medjai in the Crown's inner circle who shifts into a giant tattooed lion or lioness with advanced human reflexes. Okay now that you know.

It was the Maditau who took me as a toddler and dumped me at the nearest Orphanage in Mitchells Plain, the only thing in the basket beside me was a note with my name "Juda Kufu, son of a fallen Angolan dynasty".

 She had also told me about how advanced Kemet was, how Alkebulan due to Western presence has gone back in time and that the only Gentile (normal human being) who came close to discovering the First World was Cheik Anta Diop and she considered him a universal multi-genius. After all the talk, instead of pouncing out the way, she pounced in, No! She simply faded into the wind.

I spent the whole afternoon wondering what I was going to do with Deucalion Eisenhower. This was not about revenge; it was about something bigger. The Maditau only told me what she felt was essential for me to know, if they both were Apostles, how they died, that she eluded from me. She claimed to have known them though all she spoke of was about their professional life. 

Jk: Makela, if the New World is so advanced why does the Maditau still dress… You know… Old fashion, shouldn't you have some kind of hybrid water/fire/bulletproof fabric for your clothing?

Makela: She is not a normal being… I mean she's not human but, she hasn't been for a very long time… Well, she refuses to change with time.

Jk: how old is she?

Makela: legend has it that the Maditau is a daughter of Kongo and Makaya.

Jk: and who are they?

Makela: your people of the Gentile world refer to them as Adam and Eve.

Jk: what! Are you for real!?

Makela: mm…hmm… 

Jk:  so, the Bakongo are descendants of Kongo?

Makela: who ain't, they are the first man and woman recorded in history that we know of, it so happens that the Kongo are direct descendants or the direct descendants became the Bakongo. If other beings roamed the earth before Kongo and Makaya only the Scroll of Zayi would have such information. The Scroll was written before the beginning of man, it is God written, so we are told.

Jk: could direct reference to the anointed ones, I mean like the patriarchs.

Makela: yes, Abeli, Seti, Semu, Abrahamu, Yuda, Dafidi… But!

Jk; what!?

Makela: The Odum existed before and yet the only people who shift to Odum are those within the Kongo royal bloodline.

Jk: what do you know about the Odum?

Makela: nobody knows much about them, that's what makes them eminent.

Jk: it's easier to fear what cannot be understood…

Makela: it's harder to conquer what you do not know…

Jk: so, the Odum have no beginning and no end?

Makela: that's impossible, only Nzambi has that status.

Jk: the lion is used as a symbol of Nzambi, right?

Makela: yes…

Jk: so, what if the Odum is a personified manifesting of Nzambi's anointing to the Kongo.

Makela: that would make sense since Nzambi 's commission to man was given before he roamed the earth but then again, it's just what we think of them. Theories...

Jk: My brother, Malachi said to me once, something about the Watchman, before returning, he preached about something, what was it, huh? How the soul was in existence within the mind of Nzambi and the soul could walk the earth though not on the earth. Something close to that.

Makela: I see where you taking this but then again, it's all just theories to ponder on. 

Jk: so, the Maditau is a daughter of Adam and Eve. I no longer want to know her age.

Makela: As I said, it's a legend. If she is, then she is probably older than the concept of Greek gods by a landslide. 

Jk: how's that possible? The biblical timeline is six thousand years.

Makela: well that's according to your version, our scrolls predate the creation of Godlike men aeons before.

Jk: okay… huh your version of the Ancient Egyptians worshipping only one God, Nzambi which, I guess is Ra. What of the other gods?

Makela: Oh my word. What has the Western World done to you, Son of Kufu?

Jk: what!?

Makela: The Western World has led you to believe they are gods and that is because they are not as smart as they claim to be.

Jk: what are they, then?

Makela: the personification of everything. Imagine the Sun was like a person. We all like to believe that death has a scorching face. If it looked human, it would be easier to describe it, not so?

Jk: like Thanatos.

Makela: imagine life after death, if there was a human-like being to accompany you to either the Astral Plane or Paradise.

Jk: Anubis.

Makela: The Western world desperately got things wrong, not a surprise.

Jk: okay… so you guys have like Advanced technology and stuff… Like artificial intelligence and androids?

Makela: not anymore.

Jk: how come?

Makela: Kammatu engineers and scientists were eager in improving knowledge and oblivious to wisdom. The Kammatu society became too formal, civilized and kept steering off God's path. Every time you would hear on the news "discovery or new invention", it was depressing my mum says.
