Links Africans Wrote the Bible The Africans Who Wrote The Bible: Ancient Secrets Africa and Christianity Have Never Told www.africansbible.com Along with Cheikh Anta Diop, Alex Darkwah also traces Ancient Egypt to geographical Africa. Darkwah has DNA on his side; whereas, Diop used archeological artifacts, culture, and documentary text but was still challenged with his findings which were labeled "untrue" by the scientific world. Darkwah proves that Africans wrote the Bible even though your personal Bible may have pages laced with White Greek characters and distributed throughout the world. I thought that the following excerpts were extremely interesting. A website visitor suggested that I read the Darkwah's book. Thanks to the website reader who suggested that I limit my research to Sub-Saharan Africa. You’ve started a greater quest to delve deeper into Europe's concealment of our history and to shed more light on how the global world exists in its current state. LAND OF THE BLACKSLAND OF THE BIBLE : Ancient Egypt was known indigenously as Kemet (Land of the Blacks). Ancient Egyptians have pinpointed their own ancestral origins to the Mount Rwenzori range in the east African cradle, otherwise known as the Mountains of the Moon. Some accounts state that Egyptian civilization came out of Ethiopia, which as a term was used to designate the land south of Egypt (the Upper Nile Valley), or was alternatively used to refer to the entire African continent. Chronologically therefore Egypt’s southern neighbor Nubia, which had its own distinct civilization, was her Nile Valley predecessor.

Introduction to Visual Interpretation of the Basel Mission Archive Photo Project Emmanuel Akyeampong (Harvard University) The Social Setting of the Basel Missionaries The Basel Mission Society (Evangelische Missionsgesellschaft Basel) was founded in 1815 in the city of Basel by members of the Deutsche Christentums Gesellschaft. One notable feature of the Basel Mission was that it was international and interdenominational from its onset. Its patrons were drawn the Pietist circles of Switzerland and neighboring southern Germany. The Pietist movement emerged in Germany in the late 17 th century, and shared important commonalities with the Protestant movement. It stressed the decentralization of church management and life, and preferred action to formalism. Protestantism had been declared in Basel in 1529. The Kingdom of Württemberg and the Principality of Baden in Germany were both major supporters of the Basel Mission. The establishment of the Basel Mission was part of a general trend in Europe towards the formation of mission societies among Protestants and the deployment of trained missionaries in foreign fields. The late 18 th and early 19 th centuries witnessed the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792; the London Missionary Society (non-denominational) in 1795; and the Church Missionary Society (Anglican), the Wesleyan Missionary Society (Methodist) and the Scottish Presbyterian Society were all formed in 1799. In North America the Board of Foreign Missions was established in 1810. These mission societies were an active part of the drive for the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation of slaves in European colonies. In the first half of the nineteenth century, they extended their activities to the African continent in an endeavor to rectify the harm done by centuries of slave trading. The Basel Mission College was set up in 1816 to prepare missionaries from all over Europe for foreign mission work, reflecting a network that encompassed Pietists and Protestants.

Writers and Writing A Dangerous Dance: Teaching Heritage in Ghana's Secondary Schools Article # : Section : CULTURE Issue Date : 2,112 Words Author : Cati Coe Cati Coe is currently completing her dissertation on folklore and ethnography at the University of Maryland These students are in a secondary school in southern Ghana, a country on the coast of West Africa. The three-year boarding school is attended by about a thousand girls and boys in the town of Akropong in Akuapem, a hilly region known for its cool weather and a long tradition of courtesy, Christianity, and education. Nineteenth-century missionaries started the schools in southern Ghana to convert indigenous people, a project at which they were very successful: About 60 percent of Ghanaians currently identify themselves as Christians. Schooling has long been associated with acquiring modern identities and accoutermentsfrom Christian faith and English language and literacy to professional jobs and status items like handbags and stereos. During the forty-some years of Ghana's independence, its successive governments have been concerned that students were being alienated from their cultural heritage. Schools, therefore, have begun teaching Ghanaian culture from primary to university level. This has taken the form of extracurricular entertainment such as drumming and dancing as well as lessons on life-cycle customs in Ghanaian-language classes. The government also organizes an annual cultural competition, alternating every other year between secondary schools and primary and junior secondary schools. Competition begins in the district, continuing on to the regional and, ultimately, national levels. The students recite poetry in a Ghanaian language, drum traditional phrases using two drums that imitate the tonal Ghanaian languages, sing choral music, exhibit arts and crafts, and perform dance drama, in which they tell a story without words through dance.

Next LECTURE IV THE FORGING OF NEW GA-DANGME UNITY AND THE KATAMANSO WAR To lead the Gá-Dangme you need the courage of Okaikoi and the sagacity of great high priests. It is a task in selflessness and courage. In all things be bold and fearless,seeking above all to ensure the security and happiness of the people. Like a good tree the strong nation requires continual pruning and reform. The good leader sleeps not for an hour, constantly seeking the interests of his people In this Lecture we examine the factors that led to the emergence of the Gá-Dangme as major players in the political scene of the Gold Coast; look at the principal reasons for the Katamanso War. Accra started to emerge from its short eclipse; the short reign of Ofori Tibo saw the the re-stabilisation of Gá-Dangme politics. The emergence of Tetteh Ahinakwa or Momotse and Okaidja as King of Accra and chief of Gbese respectively led to a reform movement which tried to cleanse the city of corruption and re-establish its politics on a sounder footing. Princes Tetteh Ahinakwa and Okaidja had been ransomed to the Dutch and had gained considerable Western education; they were therefore in a relatively good position to stand back from Gá society and objectively analyse its failures and difficulties. However, once they acceeded to office they lacked a reform party to carry out their reformist programme in the various Gá-Dangme quarters and towns. Attempts to involve the

August 1992 We Believe That the Earth Is God's Gift to Us HINDUISM TODAY's publisher and editor met Nana (which means "queen") at the Parliamentary Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. She is an ohemaa, or ruler-priestess of the Akuapem (part of the Akan) people and culture of Ghana, Africa. She offers a glimpse into the traditional African religion and its beliefs about God and the Earth. There is strong revival of African traditional religion going on at this time, and the African is notoriously religious. The key to understanding him is through his religion. He considers God as our universal Father. For the Akans of Ghana, He is also our divine Mother, Nyame Obaatan Pa, a very caring provider. God is omnipotent, Gye Nyame, all-knowing, omnipresent and sustainer of the whole world. In African culture, all revolves around religion which strongly influences the living and thinking of the ordinary man and woman. In fact, African religion, no matter the level of sophistication or education of the individual, permeates every aspect of his life, from seedtime to harvest, through the rites of passage, birth, puberty, marriage, death and hereafter. We have no creeds to recite, as these dwell in the heart, and each one is himself the living creed. All over Africa, the earth is regarded as the female spirit Asase Yaa, Mother Earth. One is expected to care for her, nurse, cherish and love her. Generally, one will not till the land without her prior permission. We ask her permission again before digging to bury the dead so that her child may return into her womb. Thursday is set aside for her, and on that day many Akans will not till the land. Asase Yaa is also known as the upholder of truth, and whenever someone's word is in doubt, he is asked to touch his lip to some soil to become credible.

Introduction Ghana , nation in West Africa, a former British colony known as the Gold Coast until 1957. That year Ghana became the first state in sub-Saharan Africa to gain political independence from European colonial rule. Drawing on tradition, the new state took its name from that of the medieval empire of Ghana, on the upper Niger River, several hundred miles to the northwest of modern Ghana. Following independence, Ghana assumed the leadership role in the African continent’s struggle for national liberation. The people of this densely populated country belong to more than 100 different ethnic groups, but Ghana has largely been spared the ethnic conflict that has torn apart many other African countries. The capital city of Accra is the largest city in the country. English is the official language of the country, but most Ghanaians also speak at least one African language. Ghana has one of the strongest economies in West Africa, yet the country’s economic base continues to be agriculture and the people remain poor.
