Hypotheses
Supporting the Cultural Unity of Global Afrikan People: We Are One People!
Ambakisye-Okang
Olatunde Dukuzumurenyi, Ph.D. Public Policy Analysis
The
narrative testimony of the Viasili vya Afrika [Kiswahili: Afrikan
Explanations of Human Origins, Mythology] of Global Afrikan peoples, i.e., Watu Weusi now spread over the
whole of the world and by inference to a Ufahamu
[Kiswahili: Comprehension] of the
contemporary reality of Watu Weusi as well as the rational ground for the reconstruction,
development and implementation of sustainable Utamaduni defined solutions, begins
for our purpose of conceptualizing the ST/Săt of this scholarly offering with the peoples of the Classical
Afrikan Civilization of Utamaduni Mkubwa
ya Bantu-Kush [Kiswahili: High
Culture of Kush, Bantu-Kushite Civilization].
To
reconstruct the Mapisi [Kiswahili: History] of this ST/Săt an Afrikan
, 3XWY/Akhuy [Kush/Kemet: Spiritual], cognitive, affective, psychomotor
physiological, socio-cultural, social-psychological, political-economic interpretation
and assessment will be made of primary and secondary authentically Global Afrikan
sources including on-site evaluations of extant Global Afrikan monuments where
accessible, the Viasili and , 3XWY/Akhuy [Kush/Kemet:
Spiritual]
texts of Afrikan peoples of the Afrikan continent and the Afrikan global
dispersions, the chronicles of the Viasili vya Afrika of ancient Watu Weusi priestly
archivists, the Mapisi texts of ancient Afrikan Wanamapisi [Kiswahili: Historians]
and poets and archaeological evidence.
While only
cursory consideration will be given to the Eurocentrically defined limitations
associated with the ‘validity’ of the various Viasili vya Afrika sources, the
focus will be on the comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of the
purposes, propositions, ideas, ideologies and beliefs of the evidence from an avowedly
Global Afrikan socio-psychological orientation with the intent of
reconstructing an authentic Global Afrikan-centered Afrocentric recollection of
Mapisi ya Afrika [Kiswahili: History of Afrika], i.e.,
the narrative of the acts of the Wahenga
na Wahenguzi [Kiswahili: the
Venerated Ancestors of Ancestors], which answers to the guiding ethos of
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Afrika as distilled by the Wahenga na Wahenguzi on behalf
of the Beautyful Ones Not Yet Born.
By
considering these sources as authorative it is naturally necessary to discard
the socio-psychological restrictions and Utamaduni impediments of the false
Eurocentric chronologies and concomitant methodologies and thus to correctly
see the depth of space-time in Global Afrikan antiquity:
“…For
those great pre-historic developments of civilization, and those long
pre-historic ages of human activity and enterprise, which are indicated by the
oldest monuments, records, and mythologies. It is impossible to study
faithfully the ancient mythologies, or the results of exploration in the oldest
ruins, or the fragmentary records in which the ancients speak of what to them
was misty antiquity, without feeling that, to accept all they signify, we must
enlarge the past far beyond the limits of any scheme of chronology known to
modern times.”[1]
Global Afrikan
knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation of
Mapisi ya Afrika and any other subject, in order to be Afrikan-centered must
begin with Global Afrikan chronicles, which utilize an Afrikan methodology,
incorporate an Afrikan Utambuzi wa KD MI KD/Ked-Mi-Ked and
therefore, are Afrocentric and thus an authentically Afrikan-centered way of
thinking, doing and being.
The
texts inscribed in granite and written upon everlasting papyri by the Wahenga
na Wahenguzi answer most definitively to this sacrosanct requisite. With these
thoughts in mind it is now important to point out that this ST/Săt is grounded
upon certain fundamental hypotheses.
These
hypotheses are:
H1:
The Viasili vya Afrika, in particular the Viasili vya
Utamaduni Mkubwa ya KMT/Kemet and the Viasili vya Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Bantu-Kushite
Mycenae are comprised of the socio-cultural and historical record of the
socio-political and economic acts of Global Afrikan peoples c. 15759 BKC - 3241 KC [c. 20000-1000 BCE],
are written according to Global Afrikan traditional esoteric and allegorical methodologies
that incorporate Global Afrikan cultural metaphors which require the
decipherment of the metaphorical subject, metaphorical predicate and
metaphorical entailments in the light of the comprehension of the Global Afrikan
cultural metonymy and the key metaphor of Global Afrikan existence, i.e. the
spiritual socio-organic metaphor and are as empirically sound a foundation for
the reconstruction of Global Afrikan cognitive culture as are archeological and
written historic records.
H2:
The Viasili vya Afrika are the chronicles of the exploits
and deeds of the Bantu-Kushite Wahenga na Wahenguzi; or the ‘Gods’ of the
Viasili vya Afrika are the Ancient Ancestors of the Blacks.[2]
H3:
Bantu-Kushite/Æthiopians,
i.e., Afrikans, are not composed of thousands of heterogeneous ethno-national Makabila [Kiswahili: Ethnic Groups] with distinctive, mutually exclusive
cultural characteristics. Instead, their defining social institutions, mores
and customs are subculture communities, composite societies that at one time in
Global Afrikan history were social divisions of a greater
Bantu-Kushite/Æthiopian national community, sharing a distinctive linguistic
heritage and material and non-material culture with a regional culture hearth
encompassing the lands of Upper KMT/Kemet and Lower Kush with important urban
Wahenga na Wahenguzi commemoration complexes located at the border between
Lower Kush and Upper KMT/Kemet on Sahel Island near the 6th Cataract
of the ITRW HPI/Iteru
Hapi [Kush/Kemet: Nile
River], in the
Dongola
Bend region of Lower Kush near the 4th Cataract of the ITRW HPI/Iteru Hapi, at the Lower
Kush capitol of ,
IW MIRWIWЗ/Iu Miruiwa [Kush/Kemet:
Island of Meroe] near the 1rst Cataract of the ITRW HPI/Iteru Hapi and at the Upper KMT/Kemet
capitol city of WЗST/Wa-set.[3]
H4:
The indigenous languages and autochthonous peoples of the
Global Afrikan community comprise a genetic unity.[4]
H5:
The indigenous languages and autochthonous peoples of the
Global Afrikan community are derived from the multi-ethnic Afrikan Makabila
which comprised Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Bantu-Kush, Utamaduni Mkubwa ya KMT/Kemet
and the proto-Saharan civilization of Utamaduni Mkubwa ya Maa c. 15759 BKC - 3241 KC [c. 20000-1000 BCE].
