Eurocentric history books are chock full of stories about so-called “white” inventions, from electricity to telecommunications to video cameras to modern textiles. But the truth is that all of these things were invented by the black Egyptians thousands of years ago, and what they went on to invent afterwards was far, far superior to anything that exists today. According to Afrocentrism, the black Egyptians were more creative and inventive than any other group on the planet, and invented new pieces of groundbreaking technology effortlessly on literally a daily basis. For centuries, Europeans have thought that they were at the pinnacle of human achievement, until they began to uncover that the Ancient black Egyptians had beaten them to the chase, thousands of years before.
As white archaeologists and anthropologists continue to uncover new Egyptian artifacts and decrypt new hieroglyphic symbols, they are continuing to discover just how advanced the ancient Egyptians really were. According to AfricaUnlimited, one of the most respected Afrocentric history sites on the web, Europeans only recently discovered that the ancient Malians had mapped out the entire solar system without even needing telescopes or computers:
“The Dogon people of Mali, and other ethnic groups living in the vicinity of the ancient city of Timbuktu, have an intimate knowledge of this solar system, the Sirius star system, and the shape and functioning of the galaxy. When Europeans first encountered them, they thought many Dogon beliefs were fables until, that is, the Europeans developed telescopes and realized the Dogon were correct in virtually all their observations.”
Possibly the most fascinating of all of the ancient African inventions though, is the airplane. According to Afrocentric scholars at AfricaUnlimited.com, Africans already had airplanes resembling modern US fighter jets over 2500 years ago:
“An accurate model of a glider airplane was found in Egypt, and it is believed to be 2400 years old. It has a distinctive shape resembling that of the Hercules transport aircraft used today by the US Army.”
But flight was trivial to the ancient Africans. They went one step further, and invented levitation. According to many accredited sources, the ancient Egyptians figured out how to lift huge objects with their minds. Unlike in most nations, which only had one king or queen, in ancient Egypt everyone was a king or queen, and they all helped build the pyramids with their minds.
The very on-point article at AfricaUnlimited then seamlessly goes on to quote numerous African American inventors, including peanut butter inventor, George Washington Carver, to remind us about just how inventive Africans are:
“African Americans have had their discoveries openly acknowledged and recorded. They include George Washington Carver who revolutionized American agriculture by demonstrating that 300 products could be derived from the peanut, and one hundred items from the sweet potato, Garrett Morgan who invented the gas mask and the traffic signal, Lewis Lattimer who gave us the filament for the light bulb, Jan Matzeliger who invented the machine that makes shoes, and Charles Drew who gave us blood plasma, just to name a few. Isaac Gilliam, George Carruthers, Mae Jemison and Patricia Cowings are just some of the African Americans who have made, and are making, valuable contributions to the American space program. Dr. Ben Carson, pre-eminent brain surgeon, exemplifies the abilities and contributions of the thousands of African American physicians. African born students on America’s college campuses outperform all other demographic groups. Two examples of contemporary African scientific excellence are Nigerian born Drs. Philip Emeagwali and Gabriel Oyibo. Emeagwali prepared and conducted the world’s fastest computer computation – 3.1 billion calculations per second. His astounding accomplishments have changed the way global warming, weather conditions, and underground oil flows are charted and predicted.”
The title of the article is “Did Africans Have Spaceships?” and clearly this word salad provides irrefutable proof that they did. If Africans were observing the stars and had invented modern military fighter jets thousands of years ago, and invented both peanut butter and the Super Soaker during the 20th century alone, then of course they had flippin’ space travel! Only in your privileged little white mind could you not see that! How else did African Americans get to be so overly represented in NASA in recent years?
It’s time to burn Eurocentric history books and give Africans their rightful place at the forefront of human achievement. Without them, none of us would be sitting here reading this today.
Africans are so amazing that you can list all of their inventions in one sentence even when including things they didn’t actually invent. Let’s all celebrate them!
Can you think of even one thing that they DIDN’T invent?
They didn’t invent oppression.
Toilet paper
or Rocks!
The hypothesis that Africans had space travel has been proven. Just look at how many words are in that article!
I am not saying it was Annunaki.
“But it was Annunaki.”
And theyz white:
The resemblance is uncanny!
Michael Jackson is a light-skinned black man, just like Nikola Tesla.
Indeed, just like that light-skinned black woman Meghan Markle.
Just wait until the Brits let their hair down with “Royal Baby” fervour, and out pops a throw-back!
Fantastic piece MDB. This syncs up with what esteemed scholar and expert, Ta NaHesi Coates describes in his much lauded essay: “Whites are evil because I didn’t feel as uncomfortable as i should wearing my dashiki at a Georgetown cocktail party.”
Africans invented nearly *everything* whites use today – eyeglasses, computers, space travel, the Internet (pace, Al Gore), clean water, sewage systems, and plentiful food.
What’s more, African slaves made nearly all the art and sculpture and architecture of Ancient Greece and Rome and built America’s most famous buildings. Did you know that Washington DC was laid out by a slave? Or that the Capitol Building was built by slaves? It’s true!
Yes, slaves clearly built skyscrapers in America. It’s not like they just picked cotton in one part of the South. And white people, who made up the other 90% of the population, clearly did nothing.
except for skyscrapers in Manhattan, which was stolen from Native Americans for $5.
I don’t know how the white man got the natives to give them the Empire State Building for $5…that would seem to imply the natives were beyond stupid. It’s almost as if Manhattan was back then an empty piece of worthless land surrounded by fast-flowing ocean currents and only had utility to seafaring people with large boats.
I have it on highest authority, that the US army Hercules transport plane was closely modeled on the African Dogon Malian glider design, to make sure the Hercules performs optimally when it runs out of fuel.
That’s almost certainly where they got the design from. But good luck getting white engineers to admit it.
One word for those in doubt as to the groundbreaking historical revelations of this article: Wakanda.
I think I’ve discovered Wakanda. It’s a place called “Sun City” in South Africa. A beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert, clearly built many thousands of years ago, which was stolen by whites and transformed into a sleazy Las Vegas-style casino district.
I see what you mean. I looked at their various promotional websites and was dismayed to see all of the white appropriators enjoying their loot. It’s sickening. Whiteness truly is a disease.
Whites need to LEAVE sun city NOW and let the Africans reclaim their stolen homeland!
What’s the place in JoBurg that I stayed at that may as well be the same…near Tambo Airport…I don’t know who Tambo was but I assume he built the airport or invented the airplane or something. Oh yeah, Emperor’s Palace.
The place was guarded by freakin slavs…what were they doing there? It’s almost like Joburg is one of the most violent cities on the planet or something…
Those security guards aren’t really needed. Johannesburg is a safe, first world city. Emperors Palace was also built thousands of years ago before the whites arrived – it’s one of the key Bantu homelands. The Khoisan people were never in South Africa – that’s a myth perpetrated by whites.
We ain’t gonna play Sun City!
I bet those white South Africans were super bummed that these fantastic artists didn’t want to play for them in Sun City!
What I find truly staggering is that Africans and Arab Muslims invented all the same things on exactly the same days through history. What are the chances of this happening?
they will have to fight with each other over who gets credit. White people will have to sit down, shut up, and go to the back of the bus
I’d get a front row seat and cheer as they fight it out for the credit.
Historical dilemmas of such nature can be solved using the oppression pyramid.
they can also be solved by mass cultural enrichment on the streets
Egyptians aren’t Africans because they don’t wear bones in their noses.
#racist
It has to be a human bone.
Animal bones do not count.
While Africans could have had easily invented space travel, I see no reason for them to have used it.
All the other planets come here to extrapolate the great wisdom from ancient Africans.
NASA and our limited space travel we’ve accomplished was due to the math done by black females who are their descendants.
Yes, according to the Hollywood movie, “Hidden Figures”, it was black womyn who got us to the moon!
Please remove Dr. Ben Carson’s name from the article. Mentioning this Uncle Tom severely triggers me!!!
He’s an Uncle Tom but he still demonstrates the innate intelligence of Africans.
the only space travel Africans had was in the few brain cells bouncing around their thick skulls.
I will sent Guinea own when I become a president.
Although I don’t understand this, Abu, in the interests of getting along I quite agree. Did you know that Lewis Latimer invented the light bulb?
Pretty much all useful modern day industrial inventions were from Americans. I learned this in school.
Of those great inventions, pretty much all of them were actually conceived by Americans of African descent. My child learned this in school.
Pretty much all of these inventions were actually already invented centuries earlier by actual ancient Africans. I learned this from the AT.
Yes – African Americans are smart, but nowhere near as smart as the ancient pure Africans. African Americans have 20% white admixture, making them less inventive than pure Africans.
No, I didn’t know that. But I am not surprise.
Pbier, are you saying that you don’t like or understand the idea of Guinea sending their own space to see what is up there?
Abu I recommend you put all of your Guineans in a giant African built spaceship boosted by African built rockets and go out and explore space. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, as Trav says, we are definitely going to need to find a lot more space for Africans with their extremely high birth rate. Once Europe and the Americas are full, we are inevitably going need to build colonies on Mars to house them.
civilization exists to produce food so that brown people can gain tons of adipose tissue and have trillions of children!
#infinityafricansnow
Yes – that is white peoples’ calling. To invent things so that Jews can control their industries, China can copy them, and brown people can multiply and vote in their countries. Our purpose is to be a benevolent host that just keeps giving.
They forget to bring food and resort to cannibalism?
Abu, I really look forward to the day when Guinea sends its own space and people many miles above the Earth. I think we’re in agreement.
Okay, Pbier. We’re in agreement, thank you very much.
Guinea definitely needs it’s own space program. South Africa had a space program once, before the world decided that the country needed to be transformed into the success story that it is today.
You better damn well agree, Pbier. He’s black and you’re white!
you can bet they did. whenever i look at the stars, i take a nanosecond to pray for the one who made it possible for the rest of us all. one discovery at the time, our Africans ancestors created the world has we know it right now. Egyptians and people from mali are the forefathers of the age we live in right now! From peanut butter to high speed internet. They got our back. From the economical wonder that was Rhodesia to the once prosper apartheid governed South Africa, the success story keep up stacking up in Africa. All hail Ancient Africans space travellers, you truly are the kings of kings!
Have to disagree
The starting point was always turning over logs for worms and other crawlies.
The way the tipped over log fell inspired blacks to come up with the theory of gravity.
thank you for the history lesson here kind sir. i read somewhere that African scholars from prosperous and thriving Zimbabwe came up with with the laws of planetary motions back in the days before calculus was actually invented by using fire and live animal. Learning is fun!
The theory of planetary motion was likely invented by Pacific Islanders while tossing coconuts around in a friendly volleyball game.
It may then have been stolen by Zimbabweans who disguised the origin by coming up with this fire and live animal mumbo jumbo.
Everyone knows animals flee from fire instead of circling it. The theory is obviously fake.
