PTAH HAMITIC OR AFRICAN?

Ptah the Egyptian god who according to the myth was a Batwa, “pygmy”.

Africans were already using the term Nubian in ancient times as a term of designation of a distinct, highly developed social, political, religious and cultural ethnic group in the area in question, before European contact.

The Arab and Berber did not exist at the primacy of the development of Nubian civilization.

Berbers according to the Encarta are themselves an Arabized people, how then can an assimilated primitive  culture  formed after the Nubian which were a supra-civilization, be credited with having fathered the modern inhabitants of Nubia?  The utter absurdity in the matter defies common sense! Scholars still use terms such as Hamitic, Japhetic and Semitic as terms of designation for the various people groups on the planet.

The terms are in fact derived from the bible they are the names of the three sons of Noah namely, Ham, Shem, and Japheth.  Ham fathered the African nations most notable of which are Kush (Ethiopia, Somalia and Eritrea), Mitsrayim (Egypt), and Phut=Punt (Nubia), Nimrod (Babylon) et al. Shem fathered certain notables such as Asshur (Assyria), Elam, Aram and Arphaxad, out of these came the so-called Semites along with their languages. This is a page from the Illustrated Universal World Atlas and Gazetteer , published by C.S. Hammond and Company, INC New York U.S.A (1942).

In the section on “Races of Mankind”, the most ridiculous outright racist and bigoted not to mention purely fictional designations for “ethnicity”, is invented. The pseudo-scientifical drivle in the “atlas” will be handled here in brief. Ethiopians are referred to in the book mentioned above as being of White stock, Somalians, Nubians, are also referred to as “White” or Caucasians. I quote from the book is justified here: “The Hamites , who inhabit north and Northeast Africa belong to the Caucasian branch of mankind”, even Tuaregs are made into “Hamites”, a fictional “race”. The bust’s above of the persons referred to as being of “white stock”, are all Africans, yet because of there having been discovered evidence of the people’s referred to as white having developed, high cultures anciently, the racist Caucasian pseudo-scholar in a failed attempt to make all high-cultures “white”, created three primary fictional “races” and called them Hamites, Semites and Japhetites. On the other hand the same Caucasian Ham , is blackened by the so called scholars of the type above when it suits their needs.

The entire body of literature of the type described previously is simply too, mind boggling and moronic for me to dedicate much space to its insane claims, I will suffice it to quote from the esteemed Sudanese scholar Cheik Anta Diop (Diop was the director of the radiocarbon laboratory at I.F.A.N. at the University of Dakar, Senegal): ‘ What we cannot possibly understand is how it has been possible to make a white race of Kemit: Hamite, black, ebony, etc. Obviously according to the needs of the cause Ham is cursed , blackened , and made into the ancestor of the “Negroes’. This is what happens whenever one refers to contemporary social relations. On the other hand he is whitened whenever one seeks the origin of civilization, because there he is inhabiting the first civilized country in the world. So the idea of eastern and western Hamites is conceived-nothing more than a convenient invention to deprive Blacks of the moral advantage of Egyptian civilization and other African civilizations. It is impossible to link the notion of Hamite, as we labor to understand it in official textbooks, with the slightest historical, geographical, linguistic, or ethnic reality. No specialist is able to pinpoint the birthplace of the Hamites, (scientifically speaking), the language they spoke, the migratory route they followed, the countries they settled, or the form of civilization they may have left. On the contrary, all the experts agree that this term has no serious content, and yet not one of them fails to use it as some kind of master-key to explain the slightest evidence of civilization in Black Africa”.
