#Blackhistorymonth2022
Spent the day at the British museum with my family connecting to our true history - rediscovering our ancestors through sacred nubian artefacts.
Below,
King Amenhotep III (the grandfather of Tutankhamun) commissioned this lion for the temple of Amun-ra
Colonizations come with name changes hence today they call it Egypt - this is Nubia the black land of Kemet, spreading all the way to present day south Africa.
Every single one of their faces are defaced - king Amenhotep III
His clothing is very symbolic of his status as a king.
A big group of Afrikans were also looking at Bastet these are artefacts removed from ancestral tombs. Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, & the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat & a slender female body. Bastet was the daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet,
Amun- ra
Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten and defied tradition by establishing a new religion that believed that there is but one god; the sun god Aten. When the tomb of his son tutankhamen was plundered so was origins of monotheism through the artefacts in the tomb.
