SANKOFA - "REACHING BACK TO GO FORWARD SUCCESSFULLY"
OMENALA MOBILE AFRICAN MUSEUM
 AAMSA,INC. PRESENTS
EARLY HUMAN / BLACK AFRICAN HISTORY

The singular situation of the Blackman among other races is that he is uniquely the first member of the human family, the father of mankind from whom all other races come. For 150,000 years Black people were the standard bearers of humanity making them the charter members of the human race.  Members of other races should bow down out of respect, yet this noble history has been denied. Lies were told and brainwashing was used. The goal of this mental manipulation was to remove from Blacks’ consciousness all evidence of African history, culture and language. What Dr. Carter G. Woodson called, “The Mis-education of the Negro.”
 
 In order to correct these errors and set the Blackman’s history straight we have created this ‘Omenala Mobile African Museum.’  We at AAMSA, Inc. have commissioned Brother Boko Freeman  to paint twelve paintings showing outstanding events in the history of the African. AAMSA,Inc. is confident that visitors to our ‘Omenala Mobile African Museum’ will gain a better understanding and appreciation of Black people’s role in the mankind’s history.
 

 
5,000,000 to 200,000 B.C.E.
Early Hominids to Homo Sapiens
The remains of the earliest hominids were found in the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania East Africa. Both skeleton and molecular evidence demonstrate that the first homo sapiens came from this region. Our first painting is of a Black African family. This was the first human family. This family is a family without sin, original or otherwise.
 
200,000 to 10,000 B.C.E.
Our second painting shows Africans hunting and gathering. This method of gathering food lasted over a hundred thousand years. Black people perfected it.
 
The third work represents the first migrations of black people out of Africa when they traveled as far as Australia. Early people were nomads who were subject to good weather and bad. Later Black migrations over the centuries traveled to the Americas and to Europe.
 
Our fourth painting portrays ‘rock drawings.’ The geography of Africa during this early period 35,000 years B.C.E.. was highlighted with petroglyphs and pictographs. These ancient works are found in all the regions of the continent in particular in Tasilli of North Africa and South Africa.
 
The fifth painting is using the Ishango bone, 20,000 years B.C.E., which is the first number system, found in Zaire, in Central Africa. The Ishango society of 20,000 years ago may have been one of the first counting societies.
 
10,500 to 3,100 B.C.E.
The sixth scene depicts the internal African migrations, which occurred throughout history and prehistory. Historians have pointed out that every time Egypt was invaded many Egyptians emigrated out the kingdom moving into West Africa.
 
The seventh depicts the 10,500 years old Sphinx demonstrating that African culture extended back at least to the creation of the Sphinx. The Great Pyramids at Giza date from 2,500 B.C.E..
 
The eighth painting shows that Africans were the first to train wild cattle to become domestic farm animals. Recent research reveals that wildcats were domesticated as early as 10,000 B.C.E. 
 
3,100 to 2,400 B.C.E.
The ninth painting is from the first Nile kingdom, called Ta-Seti, near the modern border of Sudan. Nubia / Kush is the homeland of Africa’s earliest black culture which can be traced from 3800 BC.E. Kush is one of the earliest civilizations to develop in the Nile River Valley. Kushite states rose to power before the period of Egyptian incursion into the area. Nubian pyramids were constructed - roughly220 of them - at three sites in Nubia to serve as not as tombs, but rather monuments to the kings and queens of Napata and Meroe. Kushite culture greatly influenced Ancient Egypt / Kemet..
 
2,400 to 1,400 B.C.E.
The tenth - the Tamazight script - the Berber people were originally farmers in western Libya. Their Tamazight script was used by millions of people in Morocco, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria and Libya. Many societies in Africa relied on the spoken word, rather than writing. They believed that reading and writing interfered with their dealings with their spirits.
 
The Eleventh painting are of the ancient Zimbabwe buildings in Mbanza Kongo the Zimbabwe capital of the Bokongo kingdom. This construction should be considered one of the ‘Wonders of the World.’
 
The Twelfth and final painting is of the University of Sankore at Timbuctu, Mali. Timbuktu was a renowned center for trade, culture, and Islamic learning between the 14th and 16th centuries. After the kingdom of Ancient Gana, the next great kingdom to emerge was the Ancient Kingdom of Mali. Mali evolved out of a long, illustrious history of vast and culturally rich empires centered around the lush Niger River delta.  Mali’s rulers were the first to convert to Islam, and subsequently spread it throughout Africa.


Summary:
The evidence presented here clearly demonstrates that Black people were the preeminent race on earth for 90% of human history. This fact has been distorted and denied for far too long. Let those who have eyes let them see the truth. The theme for our Omenala Mobile African Museum is ‘Sankofa’ - “Reaching Back to Go Forward Successfully.”
