The other main big problem with today's Rwanda is the lack of creative minded people and the knowledge of their true story - those that are historically known for their creativity- the Batwa people; have been neglected, abused and denied the right to live a dignified life in their ancestral land. The loss of a creative culture through a systematic discriminative policy of the Batwa by both the Tutsi and Hutu respectively, has led to Batwa genocide and a cultural identity crisis in Rwanda. The descendants of Batwa of Japan are doing well when it comes to creativity, because Japanese have not carried out a discriminative policy.
The name Africa is named after a Roman warlord Called Scipio Africanus ( uhh, imagine having a name called Afric anus). Now you can understand why Africa has endless wars.
Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians), and Abyssinians(Ethiopians). Like all methods of manipulation the Romans sought to completely disconnect the indigenous Africans from their culture, deities, and knowledge. Just like the ancient colonisers before them-today's modern coloniser, refers to Alkebulan "Africa" as the third world instead of the first world.
The Batwa were the first Alkebulan people and they created the first advanced civilisation worldwide-they were very advanced navigators,etc.
The first Paleolithic person was the Twa who had evolved in Central Alkebulan at the source of the Nile Valley and from here all originated (civilisation) and was carried throughout the world.The Batwa created religion and are the first humans. The first Egyptwa (later renamed Egypt by the Roman colonisers) gods were Twa (Ptah, Bes) and the goddess were Twa.The Batwa had developed in the distant past a highly technical and advanced type of material culture and they built boats-travelling all over the world. But civilisation brought them nothing but bad luck, so preferring happiness to misery, they finally gave up this high material civilisation. The Batwa fossils have been found in all parts of the world.
Also try to listen the way Japanese words are pronounced-without a doubt, 80% is Twa pronunciation for example (Batwa-Arakote changed to Urakote, then Urakoze, for thank you: In Japanese for the same word its, Arigato. We should all remember that the language called Kinyarwanda is less than 100 years, and was originally called Kihutu , but before it was Tu and spoken in the entire Central Alkebulan (great lakes region). Its even very common for contemporary Hutu and Tutsi to make jokes on the way Twa pronounce words.
You can try and also observe the humbleness among Chinese, Japanese and Mayan, its very Twa.
The more you take a closer look at the above groups with their brown skin off, you'll see a Twa before you. It's very amazing how everyone became blind..... also observe the love for nature by the above groups and how it came about-its the Twa heritage at work.
Th Global Batwa
Its the Batwa that introduced Marijuana-Weed to the world.The Batwa lived from the Nile Valley to Mali (called Tellen). They lived in Portugal, Germany and England (called Picts and Lapps). They lived in Scandinavia were they were called Finns(Finland was named after them).Moving West to Hawaii where the Batwa were called Menehune. In the Phillipine Islands they were called Negritos by the Spanish.In Indonesia on the Island of Flores skeletons of Batwa were called Hobbits. In India we find the Batwa on Islands in the bay of bengals where they are called Andaman Islanders.The Batwa are found all over the world.
The Batwa are responsible for most of the Art that you see today scattered everywhere in Egypt plus the music & poems.
Celebrated
as the full-service protector god who served as the champion of
everything good and the protector against anything bad, Bes had a long
and impressive list of deity duties, including:
Protector of Women.
Bes
was especially important during pregnancy and childbirth when the
ancients believed mother and child were most at risk from evil and
destructive forces. Images of Bes were often depicted on the walls of
birthing chambers, and on the semi-circular magical (apotropaic) wands
of protection and the grotesque masks utilized as defensive magic on
behalf of the mother and child during the birthing rituals. Bes can
still be seen standing guard atop of each of the stone columns
surrounding the ancient birthing chambers at Dendara and Edfu.
Protector and Entertainer of Children.
To
showcase Bes’s power over all manner of misfortune, the Metternich
Stela and other such carvings (referred to as “Cippi of Horus”), depict
young Horus clutching snakes and scorpions while trampling a crocodile
under Bes’s protective gaze. Although known as a fierce fighter and
protector, Bes also enjoyed a happy and jovial side and was thought to
entertain children by singing and dancing. In fact, the ancients
believed that if a baby smiled for no apparent reason, it was because
Bes was making silly faces or tickling him. One of the earliest known
trickster deities, Bes made good use of his playful side.
Guardian against Nightmares and Dangerous Animals of the Night.
As
a protective deity, Bes was especially adept at vanquishing poisonous
snakes and dangerous animals of the night, which explains why decorative
likenesses of Bes were routinely carved into ancient Egyptian beds,
including the one used by young King Tut. It was also common practice
for a mother to draw a stylized likeness of Bes on the left palm of her
child before bedtime, and then gently wrap the hand in dark cloth that
had been blessed by Isis. This ritual was thought to invite Bes into the
child’s dreams for the purpose of warding off inauspicious dreams and
nightmares (referred to as “night hags”), and to protect the sleeping
child during the precarious hours of the night.
Patron of Warriors, Hunters and Travelers.
Expanding
his role as the Protector of Children, Bes also served as the champion
of all under his protection. His fierce face, complete with the
ever-taunting tongue, was featured on the shields, chariots and other
battle regalia of the ancient Egyptians, and subsequently, the Romans.
Soldiers were known to drink beer from Bes-shaped mugs as a deterrent to
injury in battle. Moreover, evidence is mounting that Bes was brought
to the New World (South America) by the Phoenicians, many centuries
before Columbus was born.
Patron of Joy, Music, Dancing and Merrymaking.
In
sharp contrast to his fierce protective aspects, the impish Bes was
also associated with entertainment, laughter and happiness. This is due
to the ancients belief in duality; balance in all things. Because of his
comical character, it has been theorized that Bes may have been the
most likely inspiration for the diminutive Court Jesters who entertained
the royals in medieval times. Frequently depicted playing a harp, flute
or tambourine while singing and dancing, we do know that Bes Festivals
were very popular among the ancient Egyptians, and that these events
generated a wildly joyful temperament through music and general
merrymaking.
Guardian of Families and Keeper of Domestic Happiness.
Unlike
the official 42 state gods who could only be approached through the
temple priests, Bes was considered a household deity available to
everyone. Subcategories of this particular deity-duty included his role
as a fertility god. In fact, archaeologists have recently discovered a
Bes Chamber (also known as an “incubation chamber”) in Saqqara. Women
having difficulty becoming pregnant would visit the chamber, perhaps
spending the night, in the hope Bes would increase their chances of
conception. Bes even had his own oracle in the funerary temple of Seti I
at Abydos where questions were submitted to him regarding various
domestic concerns. As the ‘patron of fashion (who can forget his stylish
leopard skin wrap, rakishly belted with a live snake?) and cosmetics,’
Bes was often depicted on cosmetic jars and mirrors. Bes also served a
welcome role as the ‘encourager of toilet training.’
God of Good Fortune, Luck and Probability.
The
original lucky charm, it was believed that the diminutive Bes brought
good luck and prosperity - but only to those who deserved it; an image
which was later adapted by the Irish as the illusive Leprechaun. Even
today, Bes plays a continuing cameo comic-book role in the Marvel
Universe as the god of luck and probability where his superpowers
include superhuman strength, longevity and resistance to harm as well as
the ability to create good luck and bend probability to his advantage.
God of Commerce.
As
the god of commerce, Bes was charged with the important duty of
presiding over and protecting the Merchant Priesthood of ancient Egypt.
The Merchant Priests were responsible for assuring abundance by
carefully monitoring the flow of goods throughout the land. Aside from
the actual physical flow of the material commodities, the ancients also
believed these goods were imbued with spiritual powers that helped to
maintain the necessary balance of energy. Because of the dwarf-like body
of their ancient protector Bes, a short and portly body-type was often
seen as a sign that an individual was destined to become a member of the
Merchant Priesthood.
Guardian of the Vineyards.
The
only known temple in all of Egypt dedicated solely to Bes was found
near the ancient vineyards of the Baharia Oasis, where Bes served as the
protector of the grapes and dates used in making wine – their most
important commodity. The ancients also entrusted Bes with the critical
task of protecting the integrity of the finished product. That is why
the ancient Egyptians stored their wine in Bes-shaped jugs. In his role
as one of the original nature spirits, Bes was probably the inspiration
for the Celtic Green Man who was also depicted in full-face with a
familiar lolling tongue.
Guardian Against All Manner of Misfortune.
Coupled
with his odd facial features (wide eyes bulging from under raised and
bushy eyebrows, a flattened nose with wide nostrils, and full bushy
beard), Bes’s perpetually protruding tongue was a sign of challenge
meant to repulse and frighten away all evil spirits and evil-doers. Bes
most likely served as the inspiration for the lolling-tongued gargoyles
who continue to protect the cathedrals of Europe, as well as the
portals, gates and home entrances throughout the Mediterranean.
Now
is it really worth it for the Hutu and Tutsi of Rwanda to continue discriminating
Batwa or you're just naturally stupid and that's why you love killing
each other??
Tell me Rwandans, what was your language then, and whose
language are you speaking now? Please wake up from your deep slumber and
stop discriminating Batwa or else, Rwanda will continue to be a cursed
Land!!
Next-time I look at the Plight of Batwa in Uganda,Burundi, and Congo.
