African Religion from science to the discovery of God - There is only one religion in authentic Africa. What are its foundations? Why is it called animism? By the end of this article, you will never look at Africa the same way again.

Blacks sold Blacks - Deciphering a lie - When a nation is invaded, there are always 3 categories of response to the invader. There are those who resist to the end, there are those who collaborate by force because they have no other choice, and there are traitors who willingly collaborate with the enemy.

1 The Cradle of Mankind
Africa, Cradle of Civilization - Science has confirmed that all of humanity, from the Australopithecus to the Homo Sapiens (that is the modern humans in existence all over the world) undoubtedly came out of Africa. In other words, the first humans on earth were black, specifically African.

2 Pharaonic Africa
How old is really the Egyptian Civilization? A Chronological Essay - The conventional Egyptology states that the Egyptian civilization would be 5,300 years old and that its golden age with the building of the pyramids would date back from 4,500 years ago. Some elements would suggest that the classical African civilization is more ancient than said. We will therefore try to date it.

3 Imperial Africa
International trade during the era of African Empires - The high imperial African era (from 300 to 1500) was a golden age in the history of the Black continent. The different States maintained economic relations with the four other continents. This article will give you an overview of the intensity of these trades.

4 Spirituality and Culture
The African origin of the Nativity and the Christmas celebration - The themes of the Birth of the Son of God that we find in Christianity, are themes whose origin is located in Africa, in the Nile valley. They have their roots in the legend of the divine character Isis and her child Horus, himself the divine equivalent of the Pharaoh. 

5 Liberation Struggles
Bantu Steve Biko, the man and the thought - A young and charismatic man, endowed with an exceptional intelligence, the struggle against apartheid, a short life, a horrible death, all this happened to Steve Biko, an icon in the black imaginary. But beyond the isolated quotes one can read, we will discover the very rich thought – and somehow surprising – of this glorious ancestor.

6 Black Holocaust
The ‘Positive role’ of Colonization : Deciphering a Lie - The colonialists used to say that they made us part of history. We will demonstrate today that no. They took us out of history, from our own history, to follow them in their train, in the last place, in the train of their history - Amilcar Cabral father of the independence of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde.

7 Black Presence in the World
Aksum, the powerful ancient Empire of the Horn of Africa - There are four great empires in the world: Aksum, Rome, Persia and China - Mani, Persian philosopher, 3rd century. For 1000 years, in the territories that are today Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, but also Sudan, Yemen, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, the Aksum empire shone. This article will deal with this African state with advanced knowledge and a rich and complex history.

8 Scientists, Inventors and Inventions
Philip Emeagwali, the mathematician who developed the supercomputer in the late 1980s - In 1989, this Nigerian received the most prestigious prize in the world of computing, after developing the fastest computer in the world at that time, and making an essential contribution to the improvement of the Internet.

For every black woman or man who gets to know their true history, it's normal for them to be flabbergasted, shocked to discover who they really are. The astonishing Egyptian civilization, Carthaginian civilization, Niger Bend empires or the Shona civilization in Zimbabwe, Benin Kingdom or Kong empire, Swahili or Ashanti civilization, Imperial Morocco and Moorish civilization in Spain, black civilizations or pre-columbian America or first civilizations, etc. We move from surprises to surprises, and it is obvious to wonder why in what name we have been deprived from the knowledge of such a glorious past. Why did Westerners steal our memory and our ancestors?
