Ancient Kemet/Ancient Egypt
Tour Ancient Kemet (Egypt)
Visit the origin of humanity...
Visit the origin of civilization...
Numerous discussions have occurred, and continue to occur, online and offline regarding the origin of the world's religions and philosophies, who these people were, the accuracy of history as presented through a Eurocentric view (HIS-story). We are fortunate to have within our community numerous scholars and educators who have written much about Kemet (see the recommended reading list below). Information that many of us have thirsted for. Why not take this a step further?
I present to you an opportunity to find the answers to these mysteries firsthand. Travel to Ancient Kemet. There you will find in the ancient paintings, carvings in stone, statutes and various other artifacts the answers to your curiosities and questions. Conclusions that you come to because you have visited and seen for yourself 4,000 years of history the ancestors left indelibly in the pyramids, temples and tombs of Kemet.
What better way to approach the year 2000 then with a sound sense of our history, and perhaps a new found sense of self?
