underground unplugged

The state of being free without boundaries or physical limitation,
able to roam the earth without hesitation.
Free from shackles or restraint,
relieved from persecution and hate.
The ability to dream a dream, and make that dream a reality;
making it manifest for the whole world to see.
The ability to rally and stir an entire nation,
fulfilling destiny and inspiring the coming of a mental transformation.
Sad to see, that nothing in this world is free,
or so we perceive it to be.
Physical emancipation is a state of being that many may never see,
but mental freedom can never be rejected to me.
The starving mind must be fed and nourished,
then it becomes clear how we once flourished.
Freedom of the mind, body and soul;
the possibilities are infinite;
and at your control.

Acknowledging the fact that all things great and small are interconnected makes me wonder on the endless possibility of the reactions of another on my being. Cause and effect; a game of chance, what will be the outcome?

While deployed overseas I stood on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Pearl Harbor and looked out into the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I had never seen a sight so beautiful and serene. My life had reached a turning point, a life long dream of making it to Africa, the place where civilization began and the land where my ancestors once dwelled was about to become a reality in a few hours. At the same time the reality of going into combat and possibly of being killed while doing my job was lingering in the air.
  I looked across to the shores of Egypt and I then thought of my life decisions and the results of those decisions. That fine line between the joy of life and the pain of death all culminated into that single moment in time where I saw the truth of my existence. I would often wonder what my purpose in life was, what was I put here to do?  Then I realized my purpose was always evident to me, I just never took the time to see.

Ones life worth is not measured by financial status or material gain. When it comes down to it, who really gives a fuck about the shit you got or the car you drive or how big your house is, cause you cant take it with you when you leave this earth anyway. But when you feel your time is near, the one thing that you do think about are those people that are close to you. In hopes that maybe one thing you may have said or done may have been beneficial in some way to them; just as they have been to you. People aren't remembered for the great things they aspire to do….but instead for just the ordinary things they do. Those ordinary things from there may become great things. Its just that simple…..just do what you do and stop trying to be what you're not.

It may not seem significant to many but if you really think about it, it really is. We all come from different backgrounds, cultures and have been exposed to different circumstances. But in the midst of it all, we make decisions and take paths that bring us together for at least one moment in time. So in retrospect I want to say Peace to all those who made an impact on my journey through this life.

Peace to my family for making me who I am. Peace to my many friends from all over who had an effect on me socially and mentally. And last but not least Peace to the Most High for giving me the physical strength and mental ability to overcome the trials and tribulations to come to a point to where I realized MY truth…..MY knowledge of self . With that truth I am able to overcome any situation and make my reality manifest for the whole world to see.

NOW ASK YOURSELF, WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE? WHAT IS YOUR TRUTH?

 Think on it…….PEACE!

Peace brothers and sisters, and peace to the most high for giving me the spiritual fortitude to become conscious and aware of my physical and mental being. I post my thoughts to those who are here to gain knowledge and understanding of the social and psychological patterns that exist in the African American community. We as a people, have been exposed to some of the most insane forms of racism that have ever taken place on this planet. We have been stripped of our homeland, brought to a place where we have no roots. Our native tongue was replaced by the language of the oppressor. Our religious beliefs were replaced by the beliefs of the white plantation owner, seen only as a form of control to those who used it against its purpose of salvation. Four hundred years of captivity, yet we are still enslaved, but 85% of the African American population fails to realize this. Because we do not walk around with shackles on our feet and work from sun up to sun down on plantations, we feel that we have arrived at freedom. The white man dares not to yell out the word NIGGER, but today in our weakened state of mind, we have been conditioned to readily yell it out as a form of adulation to our brothers and sisters. It's okay if we say it, a twisted and mental product of the insane.
The white man doesn't have to keep us on the low end of the economic ladder, we do it to ourselves, not subconsciously, but consciously we stab each other in the back to get to where we want to be. The first thing we do when a brother or sister is climbing the ladder is pulling them down. The crab effect. We work in corporate offices, we are lawyers, doctors, famous athletes, multimillionaires, but instead of using our worth to help bring another to our status; we use all our positions to keep them down. Just like we were taught. But one fact is still constant, we are not free of the bondage that was placed on our ancestors. In fact, one can say that they were better off, in the sense that they knew they were slaves, we on the other hand have no idea of the mental slavery that is eating away at our people. In turn we have picked up on the ways of those who hate us so much, and we continue to breed and distribute their insane ways for them, through our children, our communities, our religious beliefs, we have become our own worst enemy.
The time has past for us to blame the white man for our misfortune and ignorance, but we must take the responsibility to cast out the ways of the devil, and live righteous, taking our true and divine place on earth, as the kings and queens of civilization. We are the original Asiatic Blackman, Woman and Child, we are the conduits of the divine energy that permeates the universe. Within each of us, is the potential for greatness, that is why we meet here today, to build our mental state beyond the teachings of our public school systems and universities.
The underground unplugged was created as a means of education and self growth. It is up to the individual to foresee and determine his own path of righteousness. Addressing problems that are evident to our people with a focus on educating themselves with the history of the original people, not just the short history of our ancestors in the United States, but expanding our thoughts globally. That is what we lack, knowledge of self and culture. Being the original people, all of the earth is our homeland, not just America or Africa, but all 196, 940, 000 square miles of it.
Three hundred and sixty degrees of consciousness, we strive to attain. Completing the cipher full circle, on our own individual axis of greatness, which is only a substructure of the complete. What is the complete? The complete is 100f the original people being educated and stripped of the mental bondage cast down over 400 years of captivity.
The time of the physical revolutionary has past, that fight has been fought by those who stood up to the bigotry and injustice in this country. The passion and the pride of the 60's and 70's are long past, they fought the fight with the picket signs, the marches and the all mighty black fist. Our fight is fought on a different battlefield, just as war evolves, the struggle evolves. We stand on the front lines of the mental war; but we are not ready to fight, or should I say think. The most dangerous weapon is ones mind.
This society has grown accustomed to the strong, independent, smart sister, because she is what she was made to be, strong and independent from the Blackman, being both mother and father to her children, thus conveying to her female offspring, the I DON'T NEED A MAN syndrome, and passing to the male, a distorted image of the male principle. The Black male is torn down like none other, he puts himself before his family, because he has been conditioned not to be there. He disrespects his women and calls them other than their rightful name as queen and mother of civilization. Against what he speaks, he is not the MAN, but only a boy. Seeking refuge under the image created by the so-called man. Our children are raised by television and teachers in the public school system who could care less of their mental development. Our offspring don't know of Marcus Garvey , W.E.B. DuBois, Malcolm X, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis, and Maya Angelou. But rest assure, they know who R Kelly is, and can crip walk like a champ. These things are the root of a diseased mind. It is time for the Blackman to stand up like a king beside his queen. A strong black woman is acceptable, but a strong educated black man cannot be denied, he puts fear in the heart of those who hate him most. That is why he was and is the target of the most psychotic forms of abuse. His spirit must forever be broken, for he is the missing piece of the puzzle. The unified Blackman, woman and child, the master weapon against the brainwashing establishment of white supremacy.
I must say that the cipher is not an anti-white group, examining the truths that have been shown throughout HIS-STORY,is hardly racist in nature. But, I will not be reserved in speech concerning the insane acts of the Caucasian in the global community.
Today's topic of discussion is entitled, The field nigga vs. the house nigga. The literature that will be discussed is entitled The Willie Lynch Letter and The Making of a Slave. Written in 1712 by a white southern plantation owner by the name of William Lynch. He illustrates his full proof method of breaking a Negro physically and mentally. A method as he states if installed correctly, it will control the slaves for at least 300 years. His method is based primarily on the differences among people, using those differences to spread hate and discontent amongst each other. As we can see through our reading of the literature, this diabolical plan of destruction has indeed lived up to its original intent. We see this amongst our people on an everyday basis; through our actions, our choice of words and through our personal relationships. To not SEE the separation of our people, is to be dumb, deaf and blind, hence the 85% bent on self -destruction.
Topics such as this may be hard to believe when first confronted, but as they say, IGNORANCE IS BLISS. Once we leave our fairytale existence and realize that mental slavery still exist, we will be better equipped to arrive at a solution. Understanding that we will never make the folk realize the true nature of their insane behavior, to which they, in their psychotic state of mind; see as sane or natural. One who must cause havoc and suffering amongst so many, is only living out his own perpetual self hatred and insecurity.

One who listens to my words and suddenly feels as if he has become aware, and can see through the darkness, is sadly mistaken. I only speak to you as a spark to the flame that exists within us all. You must do the knowledge, the knowledge for self. The choice is yours, to stay in darkness and walk blindly through life or to rely on the GREATNESS within, and become a model for those, the 85% who know not what they do. I can only assume from all who subscribe, we strive for 360 degrees of total knowledge. GET UNPLUGGED !

Positive Energy Always Creates Elevation

-VJ Bowen

Striving to be the most high,
the pale face grafted ones often try.
Through biological and ecological manipulation,
the underlying dogma of a confused and lost nation.
Nomadic leeches roaming the surface of the earth,
sucking it dry and taking all its worth.
On a constant search for a new home to colonize,
soon the land he knows will crumble up and dry,
raped of all the minerals and riches that made it the ultimate prize.
In his eyes . . .
The only way to make it through,
to take responsibility for the wicked things we do.
Thousands of people die of aids and starvation on a daily basis,
and will never receive proper care because of influential racist.
The almighty dollar has taken its worldwide place,
you can see the twisted humor on George Washingtons face.
The new moral fiber of the human race,
If you have enough money, you can buy your place.

- VJ Bowen

The fallacy conceived by the misinformed mind
Is the reality of the masses perpetuated by the worst kind
Bladen disregard for the consequences of his lies
Takin all the credit for the greatness of the ones he despised

The time has come to take a stand
To lift our voices beyond the reach of the unseen hand
F*ck a reprimand !
Sometimes it takes a slap in the face for a mothaf*cker to understand

One big problem that faces African Americans in the United States is the epidemic of drugs and alcoholism. To understand this problem we must first look at a model of the inner city ghettos. The inner city ghetto links five common characteristics regardless of region; those characteristics are below standard living conditions, drugs, cheap liquor, gun shops (pawn shops), and last but not least churches. I will attempt to take all these inserted factors and bind them together and create the picture of the ghetto. Those who have lived and do live in the inner cities would attest to what I say as truth.
First we must understand the term project, a term used by many to describe modern day ghettos and slum-ridden areas. I understand the term project in reference to the ghetto to be a government wide project to kill a people (genocide). Some may think that I am over exaggerating but I will break it down to show the characteristics of the master plan. The easiest way to kill a person is to give them the necessary tools and watch them kill themselves, keeping your own hands free from the stains of blood and burden of responsibility.
The essential ingredient that is paramount for a plan such as this to work is segregation. The masses must not be segregated by force it must come on their own accord. If the masses are separated by force and class then that leaves the burden of responsibility of the actions of those in the community with the body who segregated them and inserted the tools for annihilation. It is natural for people to bond or surround themselves with people who look like them and have the same lifestyles. Throughout history, especially American history, this natural occurrence has been built upon for the use of control.
A percentage of the tenants of the inner city receive government assistance of some form, which includes low income housing, welfare, food stamps, WIC, etc. which may seem as if the providing institution is lending a helping hand to the so called lower class. But this is only an illusion, they give assistance not to help but only to pacify and addict the masses of the community to receiving handouts. The fault does not lie with the giver, it lies with receiver, those who intend to take these offerings and never build themselves above that line of poverty and pull themselves off that government assistance.
In order to receive welfare there must not be a male living in the household or the funds will cease. Therefore the welfare system itself promotes single parent households, one means of breaking apart the family structure. By doing this it breaks down the role of the single mother, leaving her to be both mother and father and leaving the child with no strong male image to emulate.
The insertion of illicit drugs in the community is used as a form of mind control through addiction. Popular drugs such as cocaine, crack, heroin and marijuana are commonly found on the streets of the inner cities. These drugs are not produced in the projects they are only brought to the projects for sale to the masses. Ask yourself who produces these drugs? How do drugs such as heroin and cocaine enter the borders of the United States? What country provides essential chemicals used to produce cocaine in South America for the transport into the United States and throughout the world? These are questions you have to ask yourselves when dealing with the topic of drugs in the inner cities. All we see are the brothers on the corner slanging the rocks, weed and so forth. But they are only the final destination of addiction; they make no real money, only enough to keep them pacified. That is the pushers form off addiction, quick money and living beyond his means, trying to be what he sees portrayed by the media. Added to the epidemic of drugs must come the presence of weapons to protect the product and the dealer from deadly confrontations connected within the lifestyle.
Next we notice the presence of liquor stores and corner stores. In the inner city you will notice, depending on the size of the city, a liquor store on almost every corner. Cheap fortified wines and liquors are a common product in these areas. Malt liquor, which is a form of beer with higher alcohol content, is very prevalent in the ghetto. Beverages such as MD 20/20, Night Train, Wild Irish Rose, 40oz Malt Liquors, etc. can only be found in the inner cities. Coincidence? I think not. You will never buy a 40oz of Steel Reserve High Gravity in the suburbs; they were not conceived to be sold there. These beverages were conceived to get the purchaser intoxicated faster because of the high alcohol content and the price range is by far cheaper and affordable by the even the most downtrodden drunkard or wino on the streets. Very well known wineries and beer producers produce the majority of these cheap wines and malt liquors; but you will not find the names of these companies on the labels. But if you do the research on some of these beverages you will see the very companies who produce these will not list products such as Night Train, Thunderbird, etc on their websites even though they produce them. Makes you wonder what the real reason for this would be.
Last but not least churches are positioned all over the inner city, which should be a good thing but to look at the history of the church and the African American you would see the underlining purpose for its existence in the projects. As slaves were brought to this country, stripped of everything and given a new language, new names and given the religion of their slave masters, which was Christianity. Understand that religion was used as a form of control, outside its noble purpose of salvation.
The slave owners were very crafty when they pushed their religion on the slaves, therefore keeping them in a state of control maintained on a level beyond that of the earthly. It gave the slaves the will to endure the pains and injustices of the institution of slavery without a population wide revolt against the plantation owners; even though the actions of the master was totally contrary to the word in the good book; which he himself pushed on the african as divine truth and the path to righteousness. Portraying the son of God in the form of that of a white male with long blonde hair and blue eyes. The only purpose to present a pictoral image of jesus would be only to show the enslaved african that his master looked more like God than he did, therefore making him closer or superior to the enslaved african. Enduring the physical abuses to someday be free from the physical and live forever in the house of the portrayed God of the master was what gave the slave masters the power to break and control slaves without constant supervision.
Therefore it is very easy to see why the African-American community is in the awful state that it is now. Not using these reasons as an excuse for the mistakes and misjudgment of a people but only as a means of examination to conquer the underlying problems that still exist today.

War machine

After viewing  several documentaries based on the events of September 11 2001 and documentaries and research based on the presidency of John F. Kennedy I have found a link between the two that is most disturbing and if understood makes perfect sense in reasoning to believe that the attacks on the world trade center was an attack on the American people whose origins are not linked to terrorist but instead the highest levels of American government in order to use it propaganda machine to usher in a military industrial complex or war machine.

First I would like to explain what the military industrial complex is. The term itself was coined in 1961 by President Dwight Eisenhower through his farewell speech as president Kennedy gained control of the white house. President Eisenhower warned the American people of the dangers of the military industrial complex. The military industrial complex is a concept used to describe the relationships between governments, military and industrial sectors to produce and supply arms and war technology to the American government. Now we must understand that the United States had never had an arms industry prior to the Second World War. This is an excerpt from the speech given by President Eisenhower on January 17th 1961….

"A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction...
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every statehouse, every office of the federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together."
Now the parallel I would like to draw between the conflict in Vietnam and the war in Iraq makes perfect sense with an understanding of the War Machine. Many do not realize the entire scope of the Vietnam War and that this conflict began long before many of us thought that it did. We assume that the war in Vietnam started in the mid to late sixties but in actuality it began in 1945.

 In 1945 the United States had already started its logistical movement of supplies and troops into the area. At this point it was not classified as a war simply because there was no actual declaration of war in the region by the United States government. So with that in mind we see that the entire conflict/war in Vietnam lasted almost 30 years! Now this is significant because that would put the united states at a permanent offensive war posture.  Now with every war there are causalities and there are also those who reap the benefits of war. As they say "war is only an extension of politics by another means". That's where the problem of war profiting comes in to play.

Now the comparison between the two wars is very similar but the difference lies within its inception. During the Kennedy administration, President Kennedy was in a position to stop the conflict in Vietnam before it turned into an all out war. Noting that Kennedy had released a national security memo detailing the removal of 1000 American troops from Vietnam and to cease all military operations in the region by December of 1965, this was a very unpopular course of action for some in the administration. Now remember we stated that the military industrial machine is a coalition of military, government and industrialists to produce arms for sale to the American government and without a war there would be no sale or government contracts for production and testing of war technology; therefore no profits to be made.

All of this ties into many different areas including the Kennedy assignation but we wont dwell too much on that but it is important to bring to light for arguments sake. Kennedy publicly supported the war in Vietnam but in private he denounced it. This is evident through his many news interviews where he is in support of operations. But the reason for this is because it was an election year and he didn't want to seem as though he was against the war effort and give the republican base ammunition against him for walking away from Vietnam. So his outward appearance was a political strategy that seems to have infuriated some within his own administration who were in support of the war.

Now when you have a sitting president who outwardly supports the war but behind closed doors denounces it and puts into action plans to reduce and subsequently end the conflict there becomes a problem. The problem is that without a sitting president in support of occupation in Vietnam then the government contracts would cease. Vietnam War is very similar to Iraq in that they both are and were wars with no end in sight. This translates to big money and huge government spending.

It is worth noting also that after Kennedy was assassinated on the 22nd of Nov 1963, four days later Lyndon B. Johnson released his own memo which reverses the previous memo by Kennedy to bring operations in Vietnam to a close by December of 65. His memo gave authorization for combat troops in the area and thus the Vietnam conflict became the Vietnam War.

Now the parallel to 911 is along the same lines. I only bring 911 into the picture because it was the pretence to military operations in the region of the Middle East. Many things led up to the invasion of Iraq including the attacks on 911, which I believe was a covert operation set forth by the government or individuals within the government to set the stage for the American propaganda machine to build and set the stage for war.

The American people area very emotional and visual society that tends to think logically, but are easily swayed by the media whom has its own agenda. 911 would awaken the passion and patriotism of the American people like never before. Not since the bombing of Pearl Harbor had a battle cry been heard from every part of this land and the man in office at the time, not by coincidence would be the leader….and I use that term very loosely that would initiate combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan almost simultaneously.

 Even though the majority of the American public show a distrust of the government we still stood behind the sitting president whom was sworn into office after a very controversial election which many did not believe he had actually won. Prior to my knowledge of the military industrial complex I believed that 911 was set into place to simply take the eye off an unpopular president whom was noticeable incompetent to polish his image and speech and then present him to the public as a viable president. Once 911 happened the headlines no longer surrounded the idiot of a president in office that had been on vacation most of his first year in office but turned to the war on terror.

Now as a veteran who has fought in Iraq and seen things first hand on the ground, it is easy to see that there is no way to win the war in Iraq. We are an occupying force without any military opposition in a country that has not shown a particular threat towards the United States. The Iraq war just as Vietnam is a war that is not meant to won and has been set into motion to be a permanent or long lasting support for the military industrial complex. So as of 2001 this country has been engaged in a permanent war stature set forth by the bush administration. And with the introduction of the Patriot Act and the Bush Doctrine on foreign policy the United States has been placed in a position to launch preemptive military strikes against any sovereign county and or nation that we feel are threats to our national security whether it is through legitimate intelligence or through fabrication and or propaganda.

After 8 years of living under an incompetent administration who has pushed the United States to the brink of financial disaster to rival the great depression, we see the underlying truth behind our governments' involvement in conflicts in the Middle East. This in turn worries me to no avail of the consequences of electing a new president who does not see eye to eye with the current administration on foreign policy. There is too much money to still be made in Iraq and in the Middle East, and once that gravy train is stopped there are going to be some very angry people. We've already seen the consequences of such a move in 1963……

Visions for black men

Dr. Na'im Akbar is a clinical psychologist and activist that has written many books dealing with the issues surrounding African Americans in the United States and through this review I will focus on a book written by Dr. Akbar entitled Visions for Black Men. In this work he analyzes the mental disease that has infected the black community, and especially that of the African male. Understanding the psyche of the African male after being recreated to fit into the Euro-American model is the first step to the realization of the atrocities that have been placed on the African community as a whole. 

 The African male in America has been subject to some of the most insane forms of racism in modern human history. He has been forcibly disconnected with the family unit, misplaced from his homeland, his status as a man has been downplayed and he has been forced to accept the teachings and religions of his captors to be truth rather than his own natural instincts which deny this. And in doing this the slave master retrained his "slave" mind to think with a diseased mind. This diseased mentality is at the root of the problems in the African American community and the broken relationships between the black male and female. Dr. Akbar relates his topics to the African male, but he notes that these same struggles and obstacles set for the male are much of the same for the African female also. 

 Dr. Akbar notes the stages of transformation from maleness to manhood. In his writing he explains that becoming a man is not something that can and will be attained through physical growth, it is a conscious endeavor. The title of male is given according to the biological aspects of the human anatomy, namely the genitalia. But being identified as male does not mean that you will evolve to true manhood. It is interesting how Dr. Akbar analyzes the materialistic behaviors of the male as a sense of social status. He notes how these behaviors are the traits of that of a "boy" and not a man. 

Through hundreds of years of captivity we have lost our sense of reality and are now living in a false reality where we believe that because our materialistic gains are not as limited as they were in past years that we are equal in the eyes of the Euro-American. This is totally false, we as young black men are in need of true leadership to get us back on the path to righteousness. We spend more time expanding our wardrobes and indulging in things that depreciate with time such as automobiles rather than cultivating our minds.  This is a manifestation of that diseased slave mentality which turns us against each other and also leads us to drug and alcohol abuse and dependence. 

There are many positive points made by Dr. Akbar in his writing. I would highly recommend this book to my peers on the undergraduate level. The verbiage used is not too complicated to where it would take away from the main points that the author is trying to convey to the reader. But I do think that one must be open minded to explore his or her own mentality in relation to their environment; namely America.  Being that I agree with the thought process of Dr. Akbar in relation to the African American male I did not find any negative aspects of his work. 

Through the reading I have gained a greater insight on my own personal attributes in contrast to some of the issues that Dr. Akbar brought to the forefront. These lessons though not related to American politics are definitely a part of the fiber of this country that has in fact proven to be built on racism.  With the correct tools and guidance males of African descent will hopefully overcome these pitfalls and reverse the effects of the slave mentality through regaining control of our communities, accepting responsibility of the family unit and educating our youth of the greatness within.

Step pyramid

The name Imotep has been heard on many occasions in regards to Egyptian history. He has been portrayed in movies such as The Mummy, as a wicked priest whose plot was to bring havoc upon the whole of Egypt in pursuit of everlasting life. Far from the portrayals brought forth by the misguided distorters of the truth for entertainment purposes, Imhotep was just the opposite.

Imhotep, whose name means the one who comes in peace, was the vizier and high priest to the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser, the second king of the 3rd dynasty, whose reign extended over lower Egypt from 2630-2611 B.C. It is speculated that he may have lived under as many as four kings. Imhotep has been noted as the great architect who built Egypt’s first pyramid, the step pyramid complex at Saqqara, a section of the necropolis of Memphis and burial place to most of the kings of the 1st and 2nd dynasties. The step pyramid stands to this day as one of the seven architectural wonders of the ancient world. 

Throughout the long history of ancient Egypt we see that Imhotep has left his mark as the world’s first doctor, a high priest to the pharaoh, scribe, poet and astrologer. Temples throughout Lower Egypt were erected in praise of him. Greatly regarded after death, he was elevated as a medical demigod, and approximately 2,000 years later he was regarded as a God. One of only two mortal Egyptians to be elevated to the status of a supreme being worthy of worship in temples. 

He was praised through all of Egypt and throughout the Holy Roman Empire, Emperors Claudius and Tiberius were even noted as leaving inscriptions of praise on the walls of their Egyptian temples. But the distorters of the truth would keep you in darkness as to the greatness of the contributions of the civilizations along the Nile. His-story speaks of the Greek Hippocrates, who is noted as the father of medicine, there is even a Hippocratic Oath that physicians are required to take upon completion of medical studies, but why do we not hear of the true father of medicine who lived some 2,200 years before Hippocrates. Many of the contributions of the Nile Valley civilizations go unheard and falsely claimed by others, namely Greeks and Romans who stole the wealth of knowledge from the ancient schools for their own unrighteous purposes.
