I would like to thank you all for participating in sharing your knowledge on the Ezili Danto topic. I am somewhat perturb with the response coming from VISHNUSURF@AOL.com). <mailto:VISHNUSURF@AOL.com%29.%20In%20academia,%20views%20must%20be%20supported%20by%20sources.%20%20I%20would%20like%20to%20know%20the%20names%20of%20the%20scholars%20who%20refuted%20the%20connection%20between%20West%20Africa%20deities%20and%20Egypt.%20%20Let%20me%20point%20out%20to%20you%20that%20the%20original%20Egyptians%20themselves%20were%20Africans%20from%20Eastern%20Africa.%20%20You%20may%20refer%20to%20the%20%E2%80%9CBook%20of%20the%20Dead> <mailto:VISHNUSURF@AOL.com%29.%20In%20academia,%20views%20must%20be%20supported%20by%20sources.%20%20I%20would%20like%20to%20know%20the%20names%20of%20the%20scholars%20who%20refuted%20the%20connection%20between%20West%20Africa%20deities%20and%20Egypt.%20%20Let%20me%20point%20out%20to%20you%20that%20the%20original%20Egyptians%20themselves%20were%20Africans%20from%20Eastern%20Africa.%20%20You%20may%20refer%20to%20the%20%E2%80%9CBook%20of%20the%20Dead> In academia, views must be supported by sources. I would like to know the names of the scholars who refuted the connection between West Africa deities and Egypt. Let me point out to you that the original Egyptians themselves were Africans from Eastern Africa. You may refer to the âBook of the Dead <mailto:VISHNUSURF@AOL.com%29.%20In%20academia,%20views%20must%20be%20supported%20by%20sources.%20%20I%20would%20like%20to%20know%20the%20names%20of%20the%20scholars%20who%20refuted%20the%20connection%20between%20West%20Africa%20deities%20and%20Egypt.%20%20Let%20me%20point%20out%20to%20you%20that%20the%20original%20Egyptians%20themselves%20were%20Africans%20from%20Eastern%20Africa.%20%20You%20may%20refer%20to%20the%20%E2%80%9CBook%20of%20the%20Dead> and the âOsiris and the Egyptian Resurrectionâ for the Egyptianâs position on their origin. In conjunction with the âBook of the Deadâ, also, please refer to the âAfrican Religions and Philosophyâ by John S. Mbiti. As I stated, todayâs Egypt belongs to the Arabs who invaded Egypt around 642 A.D. and forced the priesthood inward towards West Africa. Your inability to see the importance of Africans claiming Egypt as a point of reference troubles me greatly. The European world has built their foundation on Greekâs philosophy which for the most part was of African Egyptian origin. Your statement âthat without some noble Egyptian connection there is somehow a lack of inherent value to truly Black African traditionsâ is completely misplaced in indicates your lack of historical knowledge as pertains to Egypt and Africa. I would like to recommend that you read âThe destruction of Black Civilizationâ by Chancellor Williams. âBlack man of the now and familyâ by Yosef Ben-Jochannan. Also âCivilization or barbarismâ by Sheik Anti Diop. In closing, I hope that you return the favor by giving me your list of reference.
