Scientific proof that the Egyptians were Black and not of the White Race as you have been misled to believe.

In the name of Almighty God, Allah in the person of Master Fard Muhammad our Spiritual Father and in remembrance of Moses, in the person of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, our Spiritual Mother, the prophesied Mary of the Books (Bible and Holy Qur'an) may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. And in the name of their first begotten Son of Truth, the Prophet Like Moses, the Honorable Silis Muhammad, do I greet in the Arabic language, As Salaam alaikum.

There is an important event which has taken place. I felt the need to bring your attention to it because of its monumental importance. It occurred in 1974, which was 48 years ago. The event was called the UNESCO conference. During that international conference two linguistic Scholars of African descent sought to Prove the ancient Egyptians were black. One African Scholar name was Cheikh Anita Diop and the other name was Professor Theophile Obenga.
This is the comments of the meeting to the best of my knowledge of what professor Obenga observed. No quotations will be used because it has been translated from French, which is the language he uses.

We had a debate. Cheikh Anita Diop and myself were the only charcoal-black people, plus a Sudanese, Abdallah. So, it was kind of epic at first. I'll give an anecdote then I'll sum it up. From the beginning. Sheikh raised the issue that the in Egypt the word for black is Kem. Kem, Kemet is black. It's black. And Abdallah, Egyptologist from Sudan contested. He said no, that's wrong.

So me who was dosing off a little, because it wasn't coffee time yet... Woke up thinking the whole ordeal is becoming heated. But I said he's an Egyptologist as well, he can't be talking nonsense. If Abdallah is so sure. Could he be right? I thought to myself. Impossible why would he say that? It appears he's wrong but, let's wait it out before saying he's wrong. Sheikh says, No Abdallah. Both won't budge so we cool the situation. We go to a grammarian who was present Sau Neron, who knows the language and its grammar. Cheikh says Listen, If we're already making mistakes on the word, black. There are things more complicated. If we can't even resolve this. Let's stop there. Obenga and I are out. Because the debate is not even worth it. If we can't even translate the simple word - yes! There were much more complicated matters. So we asked to the professor Sau Neron. To resolve this issue now before beginning. Or we leave.

I was like. This is crazy. So I sit up straight even more because it was by alphabetical order.
Leclant, Obenga, Nanduri, Sau Neron...Cheikh was on the other side. Diop, Abdallah, etc. I said, It's crazy. Sau Neron was a little hesitant. Cheikh was insistent and said no, Mr. Sau Neron please. You have to access. You are the grammarian here. You have to give your take before we continue or it's pointless. Much more complicated will emerge. If we don't even know the Egyptian word meaning black. What are we sitting down here for?I'll leave. I'll go back to Dakar. Ha! Sheikh is a radical. You also need compromises, no? Sau Neron finally decides. He says yes indeed. Considering the glossy of Egyptian colors... Kem is in the category of black. He was being a smart ass. It is black. He wanted to say it was black. Sheikh said alright. It is black you see? We can continue the debate.

I said wow. I talked to Abdallah afterwards. I asked him, why was he saying such things. You know it is false. Yet you insist. You have to be honest for the sake of the debate. He tried to justify himself. But I said that's causing confusion for nothing. You're an Egyptologist. You know this. Let's be serious.

Now ever time I see him. He ask about Sheikh how is he doing? In an international conferences of Egyptology. How is Sheikh doing? I tell him he's not serious.

Anyway, the issue is this: The color of Ancient Egyptians' skin black or white?
Eye witnesses such as Herodotus such as Aristotle say Egyptians are black with kinky hair. That they have black skin with kinky hair. Melan Croes Eisa Kai ulotrichous,. Which means they have black skin and hair in corkscrew. When I take a white person's hair and a black person's non - permed hair. The black person's hair is like a cork screw. The white person's hair is straight. And ours is straight when the ladies perm it. But non permed hair is like this ulotrichous. And that's what Herodotus who saw the Egyptians alive, said. At the market, at the temple, in the streets, etc. He says it. Aristotle, who was there too. He said: Agan Melanie's and it's Bilolo, a Congolese from here studied this in depth. He said: Agan Melanie's they are excessively black, very black, to black even. You know the Stoics rule: Meden agan, nothing to much, nothing in excess. Meden Agan Not to much, don't do to much. Do not like food to much, Do nothing in excess. Don't over do it. It's the Stoics rule. So the word again is "to much" They were too black.
Ok what does the current scholarship think about this? Sheikh Anita Diop realized so he took dosage section on mummies, to observe their melanin dosage. He brought samples. And said if you want to see. Let's go to the laboratory at the Cairo Biology College and see the samples. We'll attest melanin dosage. Even better Manchester and Liverpool Medical Schools Both schools took the samples, to measure melanin.

Different schools but the results was the same. Same sample divided into two; Two independent experiences, same result. Brown or dark but black. Any way that's for the skin color. Now to the language.

They said Egypt is in Africa as you want... Not in the Near East. They were black like you as you want. But do not confuse Race and Culture. They could have been black like you, but did not have the same culture. Because the language which expresses their culture Ancient Egyptian. This language isn't related to your negro-African languages. But rather related to the Semantic languages. Such as Akkadian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Phoenician, Arab, etc., etc. Or South Arabian or Ethiopian. Ge'ez, Amharic.

So relax, they are on the African continent. They are brown or black as you want. But careful, careful let's not get confused. They have nothing to do with you because what matters is the culture. The cultural expression isn' t the same.

It's an Afro Asiatic language. Afro for it is in Africa. Asiactic because the Semantic languages are in Asia. So here's the relationship. We used to called that chameto semitic.

I want to stop here to say go back and read what the Honorable Elijah Muhammad told you in the Message to the Black man on page 31, The chapter is titled "Original Man". In the 2nd paragraph he states "Who is better knowing of who we are than God, Himself? He has declared that we descendants of the Asian Black Nation and of the tribe of Shabazz."

On the same page mentioned above paragraph 3. He further said " You might ask, who is the tribe of Shabazz? Originally, they were the tribe that came with the earth (or this part) 60 trillion years ago when a great explosion on our planet divided it into two parts. One we call earth and the other moon."

And in paragraph 5 of the same chapter. "We, the tribe of Shabazz, says Allah (God), were the first to discover the best part of our planet to live on. The rich Nile Valley of Egypt and the present seat of the Holy City, Mecca, Arabia.

The origin of our kinky hair, says Allah, came from one of our dissatisfied scientists, 50,000 years ago, who wanted to make all of us tough and hard in order to endure the life of the jungles of East Asia (Africa) and to overcome the beasts there. But he failed to get the others to agree with him."

I want to end by saying the Afro descendants in the Americas are not to continue in this world, not knowing who we are or where we come from, after the coming of Almighty God Allah.

As Salaam alaikum
