>be Beatriz Kimpa Vita >Congolese women >Gets possessed by St. Anthony >"JESUS WAS BLACK! KING DAVID WAS AFRICAN!” >"ABRAHAM WAS CONGOLESE!” >”RESTORE THE KINGDOM OF KONGO!” >gets burned at the stake for heresy
Why isn’t this known more? Is this the first act of WE WUZ in contemporary history?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimpa_Vita >Beatriz Kimpa Vita was a Kongo Empire prophet and leader of her own Christian movement, Antonianism, this movement taught that Jesus and other early Christian figures were from the Kongo Empire. Her teaching grew out of the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church in Kongo, and caused her to upbraid the Catholic priests for not believing as she did.

Wewuzzing goes back at least to the Spartans claiming descent from Herakles
Austin Butler
Why blacks do this?

The Roman general Fabius also claimed lineage from Hercules, as did Hannibal. Hannibal also liked to explicitly equate his crossing of the alps as being equal to a labor of Hercules, and thus proof of his lineage.

>as did Hannibal Source
Remember that winners write history and he probably talked about melqart
Logan Watson
Did Phoenicians/Carthaginians bring Greek gods/heroes into their pantheon?
Lincoln Jones
That's an interesting point, but the two were so similar that Alexander the Great wanted to worship at a temple of Melqart in Tyre.

Mental illness isn't just a white thing. I never get these generalizations when whites pull similar cult like shit. Wasn't there a guy in China that claimed to be Christ and caused the deaths of millions?

"Carthage Must Be Destroyed" by Richard Miles. The book discusses the religious aspects of the Punic Wars in depth. For the Romans, the catastrophic loss at Cannae wasn't just a military disaster, it was spiritual crisis. At one point, it became a meme that the Goddess Juneau was supporting the Carthaginians, which caused the Romans to start performing very elaborate (and expensive) rituals to Juneau in order to woo the Goddess back. Both Fabius and Hannibal tried to claim that Hercules was their guy. Hannibal in particular liked to trumpet his heroic crossing of the Alps as proof that the gods (especially Hercules) favored him.

Qualitatively different. Claiming that your kings or family are descended from a hero or god(s) from your own culture has nothing to do with claiming(stealing) the hero/prophet/achievements of another culture as your own.
Asher Allen
yeah but the Punics and Latins were at least the same family culture-group as the Greeks.
Plus claiming to be descended from a great Hero/God from another sister culture is not the same as claiming that other culture's heroes or accomplishments are actually your culture's accomplishments and not theirs.
Camden Ramirez
Sorry, im not It was the reverse He was referring to merqalt as romans and greeks associated merqalt with Hercules
Leo Cox
How? Canaanites(known as Phoenician to greeks and punic to romans) were first
David Adams
If I had a dollar for every time someone tried to use the past to justify their nutjob political/religious agenda I would be on the Forbes 500.
>yeah but the Punics and Latins were at least the same family culture-group as the Greeks. That's a completely arbitrary grouping made possible by two-thousand years of historical hindsight. If you asked a Classical Greek whether they were part of the same "cultural group" as the Romans they would've laughed in your face, and if you asked a Roman if they shared the Carthaginians' culture or vice versa, I would expect to get hit.
Joseph Green
>That's a completely arbitrary grouping made possible by two-thousand years of historical hindsight maybe so, but also fuck you, because I live two thousand years later and get to do that.
Jack Miller
Then you're just as bad as people who make up fictional narratives about the past because it justifies their world view. So fuck you.

>putting Romans, Punics, and Greeks in a category because they share essentially the same Gods with minor variations, and all had strong ties with the Phoenicians through trade >same as WE WUZ PHAROAHS AND JESUS AN SHIIIIIEEEET!!!! okay fag. I accept they're all different groups, but they share a lot of cultural ties (Punics less so than Greeks and Romans).

I wonder why that is...
im black and realized many blacks claim native american descent baselessly, and black women like to claim they were like cleopatra because thats the only egyptian woman they know when in fact cleopatra was macedonian
Its embarassing desu because our lack of history gave us this strage mentality where we try to fit ourselves in western history with no real place. Except great Zimbabwe and Muslims..
Whats sadder is in the 1400's bantu people rekt our primogeniture cultures and european powers rekt the bantu, so noone knows who we are for real so we try to fit in as Americans where we have no real cultural foundation except slavery. So we carry the slave history with us.
On the brightside we can imagine ourselves as descendent of the lost tribes of Israel.
so thats the struggle of black americans, no history, or traditional cultur to build on except that we create or adopt/claim.
Afrocentrists are niggers. They try to seek black power obviously by screeching "white devils" but they're just making it all up as they go along, like theories that more melanin makes them superior while claiming racial superiority doesn't matter if you're white. They even shit on integrating black men, and black women and white men hate when we rather take a white/asian woman as a mate so our children can identify somewhat to their mother's culture and not feel lost in the world.

The best route you can take is to probably make peace with the fact that people trying to uncover African history mostly aren't African and stay informed because there is plenty of history to be uncovered. Because there is so little written history left, I'd just try to get a comprehensive image based on archeology and anthropology. SSA seems to have discovered iron working all on it's own so probably there's plenty more culture to be discovered.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonianism >Antonianism was a syncretic Christian new religious movement formed in the Kingdom of Kongo between 1704 and 1706 as a development within the Roman Catholic Church in Kongo. Its founder was a young charismatic woman named Beatriz Kimpa Vita who said she was possessed by Saint Anthony of Padua.[1][2] Beatriz became known for healing and other miracles. It was eventually suppressed by King Pedro IV of Kongo, and Dona Beatriz was burned at the stake as a heretic.[3]

we have no secure culture. Slavery made sure of that, while were taught the history of people from countries who bought and sold us as slaves.
