Africa: The Cradle of Civilization, The Pillar of Knowledge
They came and claimed they had discovered us—yet we were already here. They named our rivers, lakes, and mountains as if they had just appeared, erasing the names we had known for generations. They pretended we had no history, but let us access our history, if only to remind ourselves that Africa is the cradle of human civilization.
When Europeans were still living in caves, the Dogon people of Mali had already mapped the stars. When they were eating raw méåt, Africans had already mastered fire. Africans were the pioneers. Even if we turn to religion, I am a reader of the Bible, and it records:
“And God said, let us create man in our own image... and He took soil and formed man out of it.”
The last time I checked, soil is black or brown—not white. And I checked this evening, the soil is still black, the soil is still brown. If man was created in God’s image, then the Black race is divine.
Africa has been minimized and ab_used for centuries. Look at the world maps drawn by European cartographers—they shrink Africa to make it appear smaller than the U.S. Why? To diminish us. Even the so-called “Middle East”—what is middle about it? How is Madagascar part of Africa but Israel is not?
They want us to forget, but we must remind ourselves.
• The Pyramids of Kemet (Egypt) still defy modern engineering—Africans built them.
• The Walls of Benin are four times longer than the Great Wall of China.
• The rock-hewn temples of Lalibela in Ethiopia, carved straight from the ground, are African wonders.
• The Great Zimbabwe walls stand as proof of African architectural excellence.
They came and distorted faith. God created the Earth, yet God is neither Christian nor Muslim nor Methodist—God is spirit. As Desmond Tutu once said, “God is not a Christian.” But over time, they whitened God to fit their own narratives.
Despite everything they have done to erase Africa, even in their own history, their “greatest minds” came to Africa to seek knowledge.
• Socrates came to Africa and met Orunmila of the Yoruba, a greater philosopher than him.
• Pythagoras came to Africa because knowledge resided here.
• Mohammed (PBUH) was in Africa.
• Yeshua (Jesus) was in Africa.
• Lord Krishna came to Africa to seek wisdom.
They colonized us because they féaréd us. Now, their new project is Neocolonialism. Make no mistake—Neocolonialism is the twin of Colonization, and their mother is Imperialism. It never changed its character, only the mask it wears.
They mis_used Christianity against us. They told us to close our eyes and pray—and when we opened them, our land was gone.
When Europeans arrived in Africa, they didn’t find a continent of sav_ages. They found a highly advanced civilization. But they rewrote history to make themselves the heroes of a story that was never theirs to tell.
Africa, rise and remember who we are ✊🏿🔥
