I have expressed my admiration for Ralph Ellis, as a researcher and intellectual, and that is as it should be. Unfortunately, the man is in that camp of western intellectuals, and some, not so western, who think that black people around the world, especially African Americans, are claiming an ancient past that does not exist, to make themselves feel good, given what these critics claim is the actual lack of an African ancient past. If one scratches beneath the surface, one, in fact, detects that all the books Ellis has written have had the unstated intent of showing that the British people were the inheritors of Egypt’s intelligence and grandeur. Quite often, he traces English words to ancient Egyptian. To make that point, however, Ellis consistently denies that Egypt had any black people, for to argue that it had would be tantamount to arguing my point, that the English language is substantially African. Ellis, however, is thorough and as a result he evinces from time to time a lack of conviction in his own argument, that Egyptian civilization was not black. Still, he clings to the notion that black people were nowhere near Egypt when the pharaohs ruled. Astonishingly also, for someone of his intelligence, he even denies that the Nubians were black, something most writers, especially when feeling sorry for the “monumentless” Africans (Orlando Patterson), will admit. African intellectuals are outgunned in terms of resources deployed studying group histories. As if that were not bad enough, there are many Africans working against the efforts of restoration, efforts which even an Englishman, Gerald Massey, thought worthy of embracing. As VaBt said one time, poignantly, it is a painstaking task writing something that contributes usefully to debate. One should, therefore, honor such effort with helpful comments. Just thought I should clear up those issues some. I said that Pylos may be “Bulozi.” The reasoning: p = b, y = u, s = z, add i. Moreover, Pylos, during the Mycenaean Age (1600 – 1100 B.C.E.), was the second largest Mycenaean settlement on mainland Greece. The Mycenaeans – Serer (Senegalese, perhaps Bantu “Serere” or “Serera,” with the more familiar Sotho-Tswana-sounding “Rasere”), Basenne (Mozambique), and Bahera (Zimbabwe), are related to Balozi (cf. Rozvi Empire). Interesting thing about phonetics: the Senegalese who came to Zambia in large numbers during the 1970’s, looking for emeralds, were called by Zambians “Masene” (cf. Basenne). We have in my family a young man called Maseneko. Likenesses of names hardly ever occur by chance; one has to assume an infinitely large distribution of phonemes (component sounds) to think that, for naming is a very deliberate act found among human societies linked to one another. Masene are the Mycenaeans; “ko” (from “bird”) means “clan” or “family.” Senegal, even though it sounds like Seneko, is actually Senekala or the Luganda Ssenkala (Chinamwanga Sinkala), “king of the city” (remember “sene” or “ceene,” in Chimambwe, means “king”) or “place of the Mycenaeans.” Go figure. It turns out Balozi were the Nile Delta people that the Upper Egyptians called “Leprosy” (English version). All commentators on the term “Leprosy” have said that, in origin, it has nothing to do with the disease, so that, when pronounced Le Bulozi (la, le, li, lo, lu are articles from Bantu), one has made a significant advance upon a lack of etymology for the term. Bulozi (buloshi, in Chibemba) is sorcery, in both its positive and negative connotations. A Munyarwanda opened me to the idea of bwanga being “intelligence,” but then, is not sorcery a form of intelligence? I just learned from Ellis that Egypt was once called Bak or, in Bantu, Bwanga (Chibemba) or Wanga (Silozi). I also thought phonetically of Baaka as Bayaka. Indeed, as Wikipedia puts it, “Bayaka is a term used for Mbenga Pygmies. In the Central African Republic, it refers to the Bantu-speaking Aka [cf. Sha-Aka]; in the Republic of Congo, it refers to the Ubangian-speaking Baka.” Aka is the stem in Bwanga. Note also that Mbenga is just another way of saying Baka or Mbanga or Mubanga or Muwanga, and Ubangi is simply “being Baka or Mbanga.” Bwanga, in Chibemba, is sorcery. But the terms Mbenga and Mwanga (also Mwengu) also pertain to the Sphinx. In this regard, refer to Amizere’s post with a picture of a “pygmy” guarding the entrance to the tomb (pyramid). I suspect that Bwanga was Lower Egypt. The Mycenaeans of Greece were the exiled Hyksos-Israelites from the Delta, and so, finding Bulozi (Pylos) in Greece should not be surprising. Talk about Masene, there was a region in Greece, in the Peloponesse, called Mesennia, which was occupied by the Mycenaeans. Pylos was in Mesennia. Mwanga was (still is among East Africans) actually the god of the setting sun, also known among Bantu as Choma, Chuma, or Achiume (Atum). About “the land of Goshen.” It was a place in the eastern Delta belonging to the devotees of Wadjet, acknowledged god of the Delta. The name Wadjet, also Wachita or Wichita, gave rise to the name Hittites. If one examines the hieroglyph of “Hittites,” one will see a man kneeling down and taking aim with a bow-and-arrow. Chita or sita in Bantu is a shield, bow-and-arrow, or an army. Wadjet was the god that is represented as a cobra (uraeus). The cobra is associated with Neith (Nawiti) and Isis or Ast or rather Sita. The Hittites are both the people of the Star or Isis and the armed warriors (the famed “Nubian” archers). In either case, they are the Hittites, a term from which we get clan names like Sikiti or Sigidi, “of the tree or pillar,” the djet (thus Wadjet also Wachiti). These people were Nguni, among whose totems was the cobra, perhaps called Ngose, thus Angose, a name we find among the Ngoni of Zambia and the Nguni of South Africa. In Chibemba, the cobra, of the black mamba type, is called Ngoshe. Babemba were also Hittite, as we see from their kings the Chiti-Mukulu. It would not be far-fetched to link Goshen(i) to the black mamba and Wadjet. These people, the Nguni, founded Argos (Aangose) in Greece. Argolis simply means “land of the Aangoni” (s = si = land; l = n). If one disputes Aangoni, what about Arangoni? Notice, ngose becomes nkosi (ureaus as symbol of kingship), or ngozi (snakes are dangerous), or Chinamwanga ng’onzi (sheep re: shephered kings), or “horse” (Hittites originated horse-riding. I checked and no one has linked the popularity from way back of horse-riding among some Africans of South Africa to the ancient past). Go figure.
