Did you know that:

• The Polish Pope when he returns to Poland visits the holiest shrine there, the shrine of The Virgin of Czestochowa or The Black Madonna, the first virgin and Black Child, who later evolved into Mary and Jesus, before becoming WHITE with the help of Michelangelo and other artists who painted all the Deities to resemble themselves, in an attempt to hide the truth.

  

• In Egyptian mythology, the Egyptian God Osiris was chopped into 14 pieces. His wife, Goddess Isis, found all the pieces which were buried in different places along the Nile, except his penis. A temple would be erected on each site, but in place of the penis, an Obelisk was erected to symbolize the creative principle of Osiris. In America it is known as the Washington Monument.

  

• The earliest images found in the catacombs of Rome show Jesus the Christ as an Afrikan with woolly hair. Why do Black people continue worshiping the false, white Italian images painted by Michelangelo? As Europe prospered, it presented the global world with a WHITE Jesus when the Bible was being translated from Hebrew to Greek to Latin to English, fooling the world into believing in a WHITE Saviour for soul salvation. What is wrong with the Black version being embraced and promoted by Black people?

  

• During the dark ages in Europe, the Moors - Black Afrikans - built hundreds of public baths at a time when bathing was not popular in Europe. They built centres of learning, collected and translated ancient Egyptian and ancient scientific texts which provided the ingredients for the European Renaissance in Europe, thus bringing Europeans out of the Dark Ages.

  

• The original oriental people of China were Black Afrikans who took the art of fighting known as the Martial Arts into China. The Afrikans were the ones who discovered that the movements of animals could be used effectively to develop their fighting skills. Also, Ancient Chinese Medicine dates back to the Shang Dynasty founded by the Afrikan, King T'ang.

  

• The ancient Egyptian Pharaohs who built the pyramids and the sphinxes were Black. How many are aware that the Pharaohs referred to in the bible were Black Afrikans?
