The Truth is in the Story not Numbers
Dr. Yosef A. A. Ben- jochannan, a famous Egyptologist, born to a Black Puerto Rican Jewish mother and a Black Ethiopian Jewish father, a Falasha – He would tell his students that the whole of life and the universe comes from a womb/heaven. He showed, rightfully so, that all so-called Western Religions were African as they are Asian in origin, and had an equal role for the feminine in the creation story and ruler in an hierocracy of cosmic and earth.
The Upper Kingdom Kemet Creation Myth is slightly different from that of the Lower Kingdom, which was closer to the Kush and Sudan. In the beginning, there was only Nun, the primal ocean of chaos that contained the very beginnings of everything else that would ever be. It was from those waters that Ra appeared and, completely alone. Nut (Nuit) carried pot water on her head. – a watery cauldron.
A watery nothingness containing matter and energy in what science calls a singularity today – A female/A male begot from this impregnated 0. 0 became 2; 3 begot a 1000 – simplicity to complexity.
Òrìşà Nana Buruku represents a mythopoeic (Finding order and meaning in the universe through the use of poetry and myth – Henri Frankfort) The appearance of matter/ energy infinitely broken down is watery, like watching the streams of atoms in the CERN Hadrons.
African tradition never taught that life/humans came from a male g_d.
In Vodu (Fon) Nana Buruku manifests as Mawu which is the female half of the creative powers of Nana Buruku. Mawu represents the cosmic egg. Nana Buruku also manifests as Lisa which is the male half of the creative powers. Lisa represents the cosmic sperm – original twins, which is in many creation stories.
The Mysterious Divine for the Dogon is Amma which is half male and half female.
The Mysterious power for the Akan is Nyame (male half) and Nyamewaa (female half).
The Mysterious power for the Igbo is Chukwu (male half) and Komosu (female half).
The Mysterious Divine for the Yoruba is Oduduwa/Òrìşà -Nla (Obàtálá – further discussion)
Nana Buruku of the Òrìşà (Yoruba) is also considered the womb- the great grandmother who watched Olódùmarè birth, whose name has a meaning of “owner of the womb”. òrìşà Nana is also known for developing life out of swampy waters of Earth with her son, Obalúayé (Shopona – Lord of the Earth). The complementary polarities of energy within everything are told from the beginning of ancient tradition, until feminine became sin and male became erroneously rational. Today, we have returned to some interesting findings of the ancients’ perceptions of nature and cosmic told in perennial stories, as science takes a look back.
