"EUCLID'S ELEMENTS"

EUCLID’S ELEMENTS Deriving proof in mathematics is the function of geometry. It is very ancient; predating our Arabic-Hindu numerals; far predating Roman numerals. One would hardly think such were possible, given our natal dependence,culturally,on the ubiquity of social numerosity. “Euclid’s Elements”, is a learned book that is still in circulation. It consists of thirteen chapters. It is a mathematical marvel, is a philosophical marvel, is a cultural marvel. “Euclid’s Elements’” direct, unassuming, elegance of redundant stylized: graphics presentations, logic, simplicity, rigorous proofs, rhetorical beauty, brevity, lifts its sublime value far beyond the mere realm of books into multi-variegated mystique. It is small wonder that geometry manifests itself prominently in music, the learned disciplines, Sphinxes, temples, pyramids, in stone megaliths, navigation, irrigation, surveying, engineering , quarrying, crafts, agriculture, architecture, law, given the richness of African astronomy/geometry. Nor is there any wonder that the science of Egyptology exists, persists, insists upon finding solutions to the amazing mysteries of the sacred Nile River’s annual deposits of civilizations, science, writings, readings, medicine, culture, calendars, religions, time, along its divine banks and cataracts. The true sources of the Nile are precisely the same as the divine sources of African civilizations, so-called, that she nourishes. Nothing but Almighty God is capable of so arraying the heavens above, earth below. It is no small wonder that over a thousand centuries that the predecessor Ethiopians, invading Asiatics, Hittites, Sea People’s; Thales, Pythagorus, Homer, Solon, Plato , Aristotle, Archimedes, Greeks, Assyrians, Persians, Romans, Arabs, Turks, Vandals, British, French, Germans, too many others to name, had journeyed to Egypt (Kemet), as merchants, mendicants, scholars, soldiers, sailors, priests, settlers, colonies, and today as tourists, enchanted persons. “Euclid’s Element” was not just one man, but is a guild-cognomen for a stringent cult of sage-astronomers/priests, dating back tens of thousands of years as stated by Manetho, the last hieroglyphics reading priests alive, who recorded a king’s list for the interpolator-Pharaoh named Ptolemy; who followed the “Great Greek”, usurper, Alexander of Macedonia. Manetho’s list was disputed by Ptolemy VII, because his fabulous chronology of ancient Egyptians’ kings was so amazingly long; dating back thirty thousand years to sacred demigods. The Greeks renamed the Egyptians gods with their own names. So “Osiris” became Zeus, and later Jupiter under the Romans. And so it was and is with the rest of what we call Greek Civilization, “Euclid” as well. None need believe me. Please investigate, please prove what is true for yourself. I myself came to the study of “Euclid’s Elements” after seeing many repeated references to it in the works of Sir Isaac Newton, Benedict Spinoza, Albert Einstein, that I had read in part. This had to be a bad brother! A super bad man, I surmised. Here was “Stolen Legacy” type of African brothers written of by Dr. George G. M. James, of Arkansas A & M college in the1950s. But after beginning my reading of it—I am only in Chapter 7, so far—I now know that this sacred work is a geometric merely in form and format. This work is an ancient generational gift from the forbears telling mankind how to live in harmony with nature, God, and each other, in truth. If you do no more than to buy, to read, to study, “Euclid’s Elements”, itself, you will have done a very big favor to yourself, to your family’s posterity, toward correcting modern civilization’s unaligned axial orbit.
