Detail of sacrificial bull from fresco of Jason and Pelias, Roman, 1st century AD (no later than 79 AD) Casa di Giasone, Pompeii (IX, 5, 18-21, triclinio f) Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, Salla LXIX (inv. 111436) Detail in a fresco depicting Jason and Pelias: a young man leading a bull to sacrifice.

Τοιχογραφία από το ακριβές αντίγραφο του ταφικού θαλάμου του Τούθμωση Γ’ το οποίο φιλοτεχνήθηκε στο Μουσείο του Μπόλτον της Αγγλίας (Bolton Museum Egyptology). Όμως, το εντυπωσιακό σε υλικό επίπεδο επίτευγμα σε τίποτα δεν βοηθάει τον επισκέπτη πέραν ενός πρώτου εντυπωσιασμού. Έτσι, ο επισκέπτης ή ακόμη και ο φοιτητής ή ο μελετητής του κειμένου και των αναπαραστάσεων μένει με την εντύπωση ότι έχουμε να κάνουμε με απλές αντιγραφές από ιερά βιβλία, όπως το Αμντουάτ, και με επαναληπτικές καταγραφές κειμένων σχετικά με τις δοκιμασίες των Δώδεκα Ωρών τις οποίες θα διερχόταν η ψυχή του Τούθμωση Γ' αμέσως μετά τον αποχωρισμό της από το σώμα του. Όμως δεν είναι καθόλου έτσι! Όλα τα αναγραφόμενα κείμενα δεν είναι ακριβώς τα ίδια πουθενά. Ουσιαστικά, στην κάθε περίσταση, είναι προσαρμογές στο τι κατ'ευχήν παρακαλούσαν να συμβεί κατά τις δοκιμασίες της ψυχής ενός εκάστου μεταστάντος οι αρχιερείς, μύστες και γραφείς, οι οποίοι συνεργάζονταν κατά την προετοιμασία του τάφου (ενόσω ακόμη ζούσε ο Φαραώ). Και οι απεικονίσεις δεν παρουσιάζουν μόνον θεϊκές υποστάσεις και όντα εκ των προτέρων γνωστά αλλά συχνά πολλές πρότερον άγνωστες υποστάσεις, οι οποίες ανά τάφο (: ανά περίσταση) μπορεί να εμφανίζονται για μία μόνον φορά. Οπότε, ένα κεντρικό ερώτημα είναι:
- Ποιος έγραψε την Ιστορία της προπαρασκευής ενός εκάστου φαραωνικού τάφου και ποιος έγραψε την Ιστορία όλων των ψυχικών όντων τα οποία αναφέρθηκαν σε κείμενα πυραμίδων, ταφων και σαρκοφάγων;
Ουσιαστικά, κάθε άλλη «Ιστορία» είναι, ως βέβηλη, άχρηστη.

interview episode!
A Ziwiyeh gold plaque fragment, 7th century BCE. The Ziwiye hoard is a treasure hoard containing gold, silver, and ivory objects, also including a few gold pieces with the shape of a human face, that was uncovered in a plot of land outside Ziwiyeh castle, near the city of Saqqez in Kurdistan province, Iran, in 1947.
Remember when I told you about the 16m long Book of the Dead they found intact at Saqqara? Well the Ministry for Tourism and Antiquities have posted these images of Papyus.Waziri-1 to their facebook (I'd use a news report but so far can't find one):

Groundbreaking Call of Yahaya Ezemoo Ndu, President of the African Renaissance Project
I herewith republish the proclaimed call with which the pioneering African politician, intellectual and champion of the African Renaissance Yahaya Ndu invited all Africans to engage in the ultimate battle to save Africa from the lethal dangers that the ailing, yet criminal, Western colonials embody for the Black Continent.
Without a shred of exaggeration, this is the founding text in which all Africans will feel their minds and hearts excellently reflected. It was first published on the 2nd February 2025 here:
Africa First Project
Africans and Black people from all over Africa and the world over are being urged to wake up from centuries old slumber and realize that now is the time to unite as one and work for the actualization of the African Renaissance as that is the only way forward to move the continent and it's over one billion people out of poverty, dependency, disease, needless wars, underdevelopment and destitution.
We must realize that no one will develop Africa for us and that we must develop Africa ourselves.
We must overcome the artificial barriers inhibiting our togetherness and turn all our disadvantages into advantages.
Our brothers and sisters outside Africa especially those, who are being harassed by the authorities of their countries of domicile, should not despair, rather they should seize the opportunity of the time to team up with their brethren at home in Africa to build Africa, to develop beyond every other part of the world, including the United States and China, as we have all it takes to achieve this.
After all, we are the undisputed and undisputable mothers and fathers of all of mankind; civilization started with us, and further we taught the world all that it knows.
Africa and the Black world do not lack in manpower; Africa and the Black world do not lack raw materials or land space.
Although fortunate and unfortunate facts of History have spread us all over the world perhaps more than any other group of people, the realities of modern communication and information technology -if deployed effectively- would turn our disadvantages into advantages and make us the most formidable group in all the world.
All we need is a well-thought out and ordered synergizing of our intellectual capital under a trusted and mutually beneficial continent and worldwide administration that is just, transparent and pan-African in all ramifications.
We must realize that not only did we, Africans, invent the phenomenon of democracy, but that our history is replete with experiences of benevolent and malevolent oligarchies, theocracies, military regimes, etc.
Experience has taught us not to prefer military regimes to civilian regimes or civilian regimes to military regimes or theocracies or oligarchies or any other forms of government, as all could be good or bad, and as no intron is intrinsically good or bad.
What we Africans truly prefer is good governance over bad governance no matter what.
Therefore, we must respect the rights of all peoples and nations in Africa to operate any forms of government that they find suitable for themselves and work with them devoid of any holier than their attitude for African development, unification and Renaissance.
Traditional rulers and religious leaders from all across the length and breadth of Africa should bond themselves together into a continental board of trustees and superintendents over African and Black intellectuals from all over the world and come up with a brotherly arrangement; thus, they will organize the development of all African nations and their Diasporas in a systematic and systemic circuit and order, building an encouraging solidarity, establishing a fraternal unification, and eliminating all forms of wars, strives, diseases and poverty.
As Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria's first president, said in his book 'Renascent Africa':
"Educate the Renascent African to be a man. Tell him that he has made definite contribution to history. Educate him to appreciate the fact that iron was discovered by Africans; that the conception of one God was initiated by Africans, that Africans ruled the world from 763 to 713 B.C.; that while Europe slumbered during the dark ages, a great civilization flourished on the banks of the Niger, extending from the salt mines of Taghaza in Morocco, to Lake Chad right to the Atlantic.
Narrate to him the lore of Ethiopia, Ghana, Melle, Mellestine and Songhay.
Let him realize with the rest of the world that, while Oxford and Cambridge were in their inchoate stages, the University of Sankore in Timbuktu welcomed scholars and learned men from all over the Moslem world".
It is clear to all discerning individuals and groups that the African Union, ECOWAS and all such, so-called regional and sub-regional, organizations in Africa have lost their usefulness and as a matter of fact many if not all of them have become a disgrace; it is degrading to the dignity of Africans, and increasingly so by the day.
If a president of the United States can sit in Washington D.C. and order the armed forces of his country to conduct bombing in Somalia, an African nation, without being authorized to do so by the African Union and the people of Africa, then it is clear that the African Union has outlived its usefulness and it should therefore be immediately disbanded.
African people should set up an all-African electoral commission to conduct direct elections to elect those to lead Africans.
As a matter of fact, the present African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was built and donated by an Asian country - China.
This is a disgrace; it is totally unacceptable to all true sons and daughters of Africa, and all the Black people.
The new African Union by whatever name so called should operate from a headquarters built and funded 100% by Africans - even if it has to be a hut.
We Africans and all the Black people must take charge of our affairs in all ramifications, especially in security.
All non-African troops, by whatever appellation, operating and stationed in Africa should be asked to vacate Africa and return to their own nations and continents.
After all, a vast majority -if not all- of the security challenges confronting African people are orchestrated from the same foreign and non-African nations that claim to love Africa more than Africans do.
