J. A. ROGERS started the collection of material for his books, The World’s Greatest Men of Colour Volumes 1 and 2, around 1911. Just a mention of the project made him a ridicule among his own race and the whites. During that time, and even in this so-called 21st Century, black people were,

and still are, associated with hell and not heaven.
As it was during the time of Rogers, so it is today. Any mention of the great deeds of our ancestors is met with scorn and ridicule — moreso in the circles of those who claim to be educated and are university graduates. Incidentally, most of them do not know what the word ‘uni-versity’ means never mind its origin! The simple reason being that the past of our ancestors is deemed a non-event by the current education system because of in-fluence of those who usurped it and made it their own. The ‘modern’ African does not want to believe it, yet our ancestors prophesised and rightly called them Tam-bous, meaningA white savages.
During Julius Caesar’s time, so-called Great Britain was called ‘the land of the savages’.
This is why Dr Albert E. Wiggam said: “The extraordinary and never ending success of success stories in books, mag-azines, movies, soap operas etc, would indicate that even the most obscure persons gain courage from them. In all ages stories of heroism — success against great odds — have furnished most of the themes for literature and drama. On the other hand, nothing is more encouraging than stories that end up in defeat and tragedy.’’
That defeat and tragedy symbolises our race because of our ignorance of Ham’s story which was created by the white Jews (Sex and Race: Volume 3: pp316-317).
As I am writing this article, I have in my possession the book, Lives of the Prophets, prepared by Sheikh Muham-mad Dali Balta and rendered into English by Dr Muhammad Badawi of the Africa Muslims Agency, Kuwait. Page 13 says: “In the hadith of the Prophet peace upon him, we read that God Almighty created Adam from a handful of dust which he took from all places on earth; this is why the children of Adam were different colours; white, red and black and in different combinations of these colours . . .”
The way the colours are arranged shows the world order of today, but what message does it send to an African black child whose parents are ignorant of the philosophy of Nahasiism? That his skin pigment and kinky hair are from a race that is cursed as told in the Bible about Ham who is said to have laughed at the nakedness of his drunken father Noah. If Ham was cursed, so was Prophet Abra-ham, because Abraham represents what Ham stands for and one can easily inter-pret this if one reads the book of Cheikh Anta Diop, The Cultural Unity of Black Africa: Page 99: “Other aspects, certain Arabic words seem to be of Egyptian origin of the time of the Pharoahs.”
‘Ra’ in Egyptian means heavenly God, the name ‘Abraham’ can be broken into

three parts: Ab-ra-Ham. ‘Ab’ is from
‘Abba’, meaning ‘father’; ‘ra’ is heaven-ly ‘God’ while Ham is the name of the cursed one who is supposed to be our forefather, of the cursed race of so-called blacks. Yet Abraham literally means Ham, our forefather who is heavenly
‘God’. God, in ancient times, represented someone of lower spiritual status than God who represented someone of higher spiritual status, not the Creator. Surely, the positive spiritual world has lost all hope about the so-called ‘modern’ African people who believe everything written by the descendants of the white savages.
This now brings me to the topic of the day: ‘The title Christ belittles Jesus’.
In the current Christian world, Christ means ‘Anointed One’. The title ‘Christ’ was borrowed from the Egyptian language and is ‘Keseshata’, which meant he who watches over mysteries.
This was applied to Jesus by religious contamination in the 4th Century as it was reserved for the God Osiris. As you read this article you will see how this contamination happened. Imhotep, who was called God of Medicine, Prince of Peace, was the first Christ. No individual of the ancient world has left a deep impression on His-story as Imhotep. He was the father of medicine.
Sir William Osler says: “The first fig-ure of a physician to stand out clearly from the mists of antiquity.” Very little of his life is known except for a statue and statuettes. He lived in the court of King Zoser of the Third Dynasty about 2980 BC; where he established a reputation as a healer worshipped as a god, for the next 3 000 years; not only in Egypt but also in Greece and Rome.
Early Christians worshipped him as the Prince of Peace.
His father was an architect named Kanofer; his mother was Khreduonkh and his wife was Ronfrenofert.
In addition to being the chief physician to the king, he was also a sage, scribe, chief doctor, priest, architect, astronomer and magician.
At that time, magic and medicine were allied as in native Africa and the East today. He was a poet and a philosopher. He preached cheerfulness and urged contentment. His proverbs, embodying a philosophy of life, caught popular fancy and were handed down from generation to generation.
One of his popular sayings is: “Eat, drink, be merry, for tomorrow we shall die.”
There is evidence that the Egyptians, and perhaps Imhotep, also diagnosed and treated more than 200 diseases, among them 15 diseases of the abdomen, 11 of the bladder, 10 of the rectum, 29 of the eyes and 18 of the skin.
They knew how to detect disease by shape, colour or condition of the visible parts of the body, as the skin, hair, nails and tongue. They treated spinal tuberculosis, gallstones, apendicitis, gout, rheumatoid, arthritis, mastoid diseases and dental cavities.

They practised surgery, knew of auscultation and ex-tracted medicine from plants.
They were also familiar with the position and function of the stomach, the lungs and other vital organs.
Ihmotep also knew the calculation of the blood, which is 4 000 years before it was known in Europe. This is true because Egyptian civilisation lasted over 6 000 years, which was sufficiently long for its researchers, for its thinkers and scientists to have carried research along those times at a higher degree.
Homer, in the Odyssey, said: “In Egypt, the men were more skilled in medicine than any of human kind.”
Imhotep’s fame increased with his death. He was worshipped as a demi-god from 2850 BC to 525 BC — this being when Persia conquered Egypt in 525 BC. He became a full deity from 525 BC to AD 550; this shows then how modern Christianity corrupted itself and how Jesus got the title ‘Christ’.
Kings and queens bowed down at his shrine. Later he was jointly worshipped with the great conqueror Amenophis lll and would later be worshipped as the Son of Ptah; Father of the Gods.

“Turn thy face towards me, my Lord Imhotep, Son of Ptah. It is thou who dost work miracles and who are beneficient in all thy deeds,” were the words of supplication addressed to him.
The great Temple of Amen (Kanak, now you know where Amen is from) contains two bas-reliefs of him. On the Island of Philae there is a temple in his honour. The inscription there reads: ‘Chancellor of the King of the Lower Egypt; Administrator of the Great Mansion; Hereditary Noble, Heleiopolitan High Priest, Imhotep’.
When Egyptian civilisation crossed the Mediterranean to become the foundation of Greek culture, the teachings of Imhotep were also absorbed there. But as the Greeks were wont to assert that they were originators of every-thing, Ihmotep was forgotten for thousands of years! Hippocrates, a legendary figure who lived 2 000 years after him, became known as the Father of Medicine!
The Encyclopedia Britannica says: “The evidence afforded by Egyptian and Greek texts supports the view that Imhotep reputation was respected in the very early times . . . His prestige increased with the lapse of centuries and his Temples in Greek times were the centre of medical teachings.”
Breastd says of Imhotep: “In priestly wisdom, in magic, in formulation of wise proverbs: in medicine and architecture; this remarkable figure of Zoser reign left so a notable reputation that his name can never be forgotten . . .”
As regards Ihmotep’s influence in Rome, Gerald Massey, noted poet, archaeologist and philologist, says that early Christians worshipped him as one with Christ. The early Christians adopted our ancestors’ forms and norms, which they later called pagan, whose influence had woven into traditional Christianity.
Massey says: “The child Christ remained a star-
ry-eyed welled blackamoor (means a black person) as a typical divine healer does not retain the black complexion of Iu-em-hotep (Imhotep) in the canonical Gospels but he does in the Church of Rome as repre-sented as a little black bambino. A bejewelled image of Child Christ a black moor is sacredly preserved at the headquarters of the Franciscan order and true to its typical character as a symbolical likeness of Lusa, the healer, the little black figure is taken out in state with regalia on to visit the sick and demonstrate the healing power of the Egyptian Esculapsis thus Christenised. The virgin mother, who was also black, survived in Ita-ly as in Egypt. At Oropa, near Bietta the Madonna and her child Christ are not white but black as they were so in Italy of old and as a child is still conditioned in the black Jesus of the Eterna City.”
Massey also says of Imhotep worship in Rome: “Sure-ly, the profoundest high of an ever warring world went up to heaven in the cult of Ih-em-hotep, who is wor-shipped as the giver of rest, the Kamite prince of peace.”
Now you know why Mbuya Nehanda refused to be baptised by the Tambou priests who were representa-tives of anti-Creator religion.
Which commandment have the Tambou Christians not broken and are not breaking today?
Who are anti-Creator — our ancestors or ourselves?
From the time Rodgers wrote his books, there is no conscious ripple on the people the books were written for. Deeper and deeper we are lying to ourselves that we are Christians without knowing that with our ignorance we are crucifying the Son of Mary again and again.
The books are there to free us spiritually and physi-cally but ignorance has become our second name and because of the miracles we can perform, we think we are nearer to the Creator, yet even the Devil can perform miracles.
The knowledge in the scrolls, destroyed or hidden, from the Great Zimbabwe Temple can easily be accessed if we, as a race, come together for spiritual direction from Mbuya Nehanda.
