The Origin of the Word Amen: Ancient Knowledge the Bible Has Never Told
Ghana Journal of Linguistics 9.1: 72-96 (2020) ______________________________________________________________________________ http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/gjl.v9i1.4 EDITORIAL BOOK CRITIQUE: THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD AMEN: ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE THE BIBLE HAS NEVER TOLD Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon Editor-in-Chief Abstract: The Origin of the Word Amen: Ancient Knowledge the Bible has Never Told is a book that promises to pique the interest of any reader interested in classical Kmt ‘Black Nation/Land of the Blacks’, mdw nTr ‘Hieroglyphs,’ the Akan language, and historical-linguistic connections between the three. Specifically, the book promises to deliver information about how the word imn ‘Amen,’ as attested in classical Kmt ‘Black Nation/Land of the Blacks,’ persists in the contemporary Akan language. While under a steady hand this should be a simple enough thesis to substantiate, unfortunately, the authors’ obvious lack of grounding in historical linguistics, their lack of knowledge of mdw nTr ‘Hieroglyphs’ as well as their lack of understanding the morphology (word structure) of the Akan language all mar the analyses presented in the book. Keywords: Amen, Heru Narmer, historical linguistics, folk etymology Osei, O. K., Issa, J., & Faraji, S. (2020). The Origin of the Word Amen: Ancient Knowledge the Bible has Never Told. Long Beach, CA: Amen-Ra Theological Seminary Press. 1. Introduction In The Origin of the Word Amen: Ancient Knowledge the Bible has Never Told, what should be an open-and-shut case is saddled with a plethora of spurious look-alikes and folk etymologies prompted by attempts to analyze one language with another without actually having studying the language to be analyzed itself. -
1 Egypt Nov 18 to Dec 7 2019 Nov 18 to 19 a Long Flight from Chicago To
Egypt Nov 18 to Dec 7 2019 Nov 18 to 19 A long flight from Chicago to Amman, then a short flight to Cairo. We were met inside security by the Egitalloyd representative who, with the driver, took us to the Ramses Hilton on the Nile. Our minibus had to pass the soccer stadium, where a big game was about to start, so the roads were jammed. The representative had been with us briefly in 2018, and seemed really happy to see us. At the hotel, we were given a refurbished room with a Nile view, which we love, and non-smoking, but with a shower instead of a tub. Nov. 20 After a short night (from jetlag) and a nice breakfast, we walked the few blocks to the old Egyptian Museum and spent several hours there. A large number of artifacts had been moved out to the new Grand Egyptian Museum, in Giza, for conservation and eventual display, and they were painting and refurbishing the old Egyptian Museum so a lot of sculpture was wrapped and covered in drop cloths. They had done a good job of introducing new areas, in particular the exhibit of artifacts from Yuya and Thuyu’s tomb (which was already set up when we were there in 2018). A special exhibition space had a good exhibit of the El-Gusus Cachette, a tomb of 153 elites, mostly priests and priestesses of Amun, discovered in 1891. We managed to spend time in the protodynastic exhibit, as well. Not surprisingly, we ran into someone we know who was not on our group tour...Tom Hardwick, the curator of Ancient Egyptian art at the Houston Museum of Natural History. -

The focus of Heinemann Ancient and Medieval History: Egypt—Ramesside Society, Dynasties XIX and XX is the study of the society and the lives of people during that time. The central question that needs to be asked is, ‘Why do we study societies?’ By studying ancient societies, sites and sources, we are concerned with seeking the explanations to the ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions of history: how people lived in the past, why they may have lived that way, and how and why their life circumstances changed. -

The Solar Eclipses of the Pharaoh Akhenaten
IN ORIGINAL FORM PUBLISHED IN: arXiv: 2004.12952 [physics.hist-ph] Habilitation at the University of Heidelberg v2: 20th July 2020 The Solar Eclipses of the Pharaoh Akhenaten Emil Khalisi 69126 Heidelberg, Germany e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We suggest an earlier date for the accession of the pharaoh Akhenaten of the New Kingdom in Egypt. His first year of reign would be placed in 1382 BCE. This conjecture is based on the possible witness of three annular eclipses of the sun during his lifetime: in 1399, 1389, and 1378 BCE. They would explain the motivefor his worshipof the sun that left its mark onlater religious communities. Evidence from Akhenaten’s era is scarce, though some lateral dependencies can be disentangled on implementing the historical course of the subsequent events. Keywords: Solar eclipse, Astronomical dating, Akhenaten, New Kingdom, Egypt. 1 Introduction here. Though there are many reasons to refrain from this method for dates before 700 BCE, we argue that the average The flourishing time of the 18th to 20th dynasty of the Egyp- ∆T is sufficient to satisfy the timeline. The exact position of tian pharaohs, the so-called “New Kingdom”, is not well es- the central tracks is not required to suit our revised course tablished. Traditionally it is placed roughly between 1550 of the historical cornerstones. and 1070 BCE. In the public awareness this era of ancient Egypt is known best, since most people associate with it the “classic pharaonic etiquette”.

Few artefacts survive which describe the medical organization, but from the extent of the diseases afflicting that ancient populus there would have been much to study. Evidence from papyri, tomb bas reliefs and the writings of historians of antiquity tell of an intense interest in the sciences, humanities and medicine born of an educated society which had overcome the superstitions of its nomadic ancestors.
