THE ETHIOPIANS RULED MUCH OF INDIA…..Ethiopians have had very intimate relations with Indians…..in fact, in antiquity the Ethiopians ruled much of India…..these Ethiopians were called the Naga…..it was the Naga who created Sanskrit…..a reading of ancient Dravidian literature which dates back to 500 BC……gives us considerable information on the Naga….in Indian tradition the Naga won central India from the Villavar (bowmen) and Minavar (fishermen)…..the Naga were great seafaring people who ruled much of India, Sri Lanka and Burma…..the Aryans described them as half man and snake…..the Tamil knew them as warlike people who used the bow and noose…..the earliest mention of the Naga, appear in the Ramayana, they are also mentioned in the Mahabharata…..in the Mahabharata we discover that the Naga had the capital city in the Dekkan…..and other cities spread between the Jumna and Ganges as early as 1300 BC…..the Dravidian classic, the Chilappathikaran made it clear that the first great kingdom of India was Naganadu…..the Naga probably came from Kush-Punt/Ethiopia…..the Puntites were the greatest sailors of the ancient world…..in the Egyptian inscriptions there is mention of the Puntite ports of Outculit, Hamesu and Tekaru…..which corresponds to Adulis, Hamasen and Tigre…..in Sumerian text, it is claimed that the Puntites traded with the people of the Indus Valley or Dilmun…..according to S.N. Kramer in The Sumerians….part of Punt was probably called Meluhha……and Dilmun was probably the ancient name of the Indus Valley….. today some scholars maintain that Oman…..where we find no ancient cities was Dilmun and the Indus Valley may have been Meluhha…..ancient Ethiopian traditions support the rule of Puntites or Ethiopians of India…..in the Kebra Nagast, we find mention of the Arwe kings who ruled India…..the founder of the dynasty was Za Besi Angabo…..this dynasty according to the Kebra Nagast began around 1370 BC.

IN LONDON……there’s a woman who goes every day on the underground and sits on the platform just to listen to the announcement recorded by her husband in 1950……Margaret McCollum after the death of her husband Oswald Laurence…..sits on the bench waiting to hear this recording that became one of London’s most famous “Mind the gap”….in 2003, Oswald died leaving a huge void in Margaret’s heart…..so Margaret found a way to feel his presence closest……after more than half a century, this voice was replaced by an electronic recording….out of distress Margaret asked for this cassette tape from the London transport company so she could continue listening to her husband’s voice at home……after becoming aware of the moving history…..the company decided to restore the announcement at the stop near where Margaret lives…..at the Embankment stop of Northern Line…..where all passengers can listen today and hear Oswald Laurence’s voice and to think that eternal love really exists.
OVER 6,000 YEARS AGO……a mysterious civilization had detailed maps of our solar system…..The Sumerians created these drawings using clay…..the surviving drawings show that they understood that the sun is a star at the center of the solar system…..and that other planets revolve around it…..they even accurately sketched the orbits and positions of the planets……
interestingly, some of their paintings also depict strange images with giant entities…..the Sumerians considered them to be deities…..intriguingly, some of the drawings of these gods even display symbols resembling human DNA sequences…..additionally, they had symbols related to medicine…..which bear significant resemblance to modern medical symbols…..to this day, we still cannot understand how thousands of years ago…..the oldest civilization of mankind had such profound knowledge of astronomy……this raises the question of whether this ancient civilization was not backward…..but rather had advanced far beyond our current understanding of them.
