Those who accept the "Out of Africa" theory without question are not unlike "Afrocentrists" who continue to accept the racist translation Nahasi/u (the Negroes), for the Egyptian A/Hawk -H/braided palm - S/staff - U/chick.

In Egyptian, the Hawk almost always depicts something or someone Majestic. As in T-aht, Horus or Father. If we follow the racists translation, Hawk = A = the 1st letter of the alphabet, as in ALPHA/1st/Original.

Much like the M/the Owl in the 2nd description almost always depicts something feminine or maternal.

If we look at the mural outside the racist European paradigm we might finally understand what the Egyptians were really trying to tell us.

The Assyrian looking character however is introduced to us by means of a tethering rope. How are we to interpret that?
