Re: Kemet,Jerusalem...Origins
In Response To: Re: Kemet,Jerusalem...Origins ()

Greets

Puntland, Somalia, Eritrea was a part of Ancient Ethiopia.

How about this: "The Ancient Egyptians saw themselves as a society in a relationship with the land around them. They acknowledged this tie by turning succesively in the various directions as they made their ritual utterances. By tradition, they began turning in the direction from which their ancestors, and the gods whose extension they were came. All directions were sacred but THE SOUTH was the direction of sources and origins. This ritual orientation to THE SOUTH was such an ingrained part of the culture that it influenced the daily vocabulary used to indicate other directions such as left and right.

Because the initial direction to be faced was SOUTH, that is to say, looking upstream, towards the continental sourceland, the habitual word used to indicate the direction left was the same as the word for east, IABTET, and the word used to indicate the direction right was the same as the word for the west, IMENTET." - Ayi Kwei Armah
