Greetings
The following is part of an in depth interview with Asa Hilliard on the topic of Ancient Kemet and the 'Keys' to studying Kemetic history.
So I gave you part of the written and the video below.
We should use the term, Kemet, rather than the term Egypt, because that is the name that the Kemetic people used to refer to themselves. The name Egypt was used by Greek people and is therefore a foreign name, not a native African or a Kenyan name.
It is important because it's human kinds oldest civilization, it's the development of the best effort of a group of people to organize themselves, and for Africa that's especially important, since African people have been so defamed, even to the extent that some have said that African people had no civilization.
In fact African people developed the first civilization, which was Kemet.
It as important to African people, as Greece to European people. Now, master keys to the interpretation of data on Kemet, what is this concept of master keys and how did you arrive at it?
Okay, the idea of a master key is simply that in the face of fact that there are, there is so much information on ancient Kemet, so much information on Africa for that matter, uh and it comes to us in bits and pieces, like little episodes.
In order to give a sense of order, and coherence to it, it's necessary to identify certain key concepts, key principles, guiding ideas that will organize all of this information, so that it makes some sense to the person who is trying to study.
It's a study tool.
It's a study tool, a guide for the analyst of information, right.
- Okay.
Be Well
