In academia, views must be supported by sources.  I would like to know 
the names of the scholars who refuted the connection between West Africa 
deities and Egypt.  Let me point out to you that the original Egyptians 
themselves were Africans from Eastern Africa.  You may refer to the 
âBook of the Dead

and the âOsiris and the Egyptian Resurrectionâ for the Egyptianâs 
position on their origin.  In conjunction with the âBook of the Deadâ, 
also, please refer to the âAfrican Religions and Philosophyâ by John S. 
Mbiti.   As I stated, todayâs Egypt belongs to the Arabs who invaded 
Egypt around 642 A.D. and forced the priesthood inward towards West 
Africa. Your inability to see the importance of Africans claiming Egypt 
as a point of reference troubles me greatly.  The European world has 
built their foundation on Greekâs philosophy which for the most part was 
of African Egyptian origin.  Your statement âthat without some noble 
Egyptian connection there is somehow a lack of inherent value to truly 
Black African traditionsâ is completely misplaced in indicates your lack 
of historical knowledge as pertains to Egypt and Africa.  I would like 
to recommend that you read âThe destruction of Black Civilizationâ by 
Chancellor Williams. âBlack man of the now and familyâ by Yosef 
Ben-Jochannan.  Also âCivilization or barbarismâ by Sheik Anti Diop. 

In closing, I hope that you return the favor by giving me your list of 
reference.
