Kyraxius Trismegistus Majoris There are two parts to the word philosophy as it comes to us from the Greek: Philo meaning brother or lover and Sophia meaning wisdom or wise. Thus, a philosopher is called a lover of wisdom. The origin of Sophia is clearly in the African language, Mdu Neter, the language of Ancient Egypt, where the word Seba, meaning the wise appears first in 2052BC in the tomb of Antef I, long before the existence of Greece or Greek. The word became Sebo in Coptic, and Sophia in Greek. As to philosopher, the lover of wisdom that is precisely what is meant by Seba, the wise, in ancient tomb writings of the Ancient Egyptians. By all Greek and ancient accounts, philosophy as we know it, began first with the black Africans around 2800BC-that is, 2,200 years before the appearance of the first so-called Greek philosopher. Learning was until the modern age pointed to Africa where higher education began. It is here that the seven Liberal Arts originated from-the Ancient Egyptian mystical teachings which formed the basis of the priesthood, the custodians of learning. Each novitiate had to be up to speed with the 42 Books of Hermes specialising in mathematics, hieroglyphics, etc, followed by applied science revealed by the monuments, engineering, and social science such as geography and economics. From the writings of Diodorus, Herodotus, and Clement of Alexandria (all of whom visited Egypt), we learn that there were six orders of the African priesthood, and in procession they appear as such. First comes the singer (including royal praise singers) bearing an instrument of music (mbira-still in use in Africa). Next comes the Horoscopus carrying the horologium or sun-dial (the Zodiac sign was first invented in Egypt; the first known zodiac was looted by Napoleon, it now hangs in the Musee du Louvre, Paris) followed by the Hierogrammat with feathers on their heads and papyrus (books) in their right hands, and the Pastophori carrying the symbol of the coiled serpent (or the original caduceus, the medical symbol). Next comes the Stolistes carrying a cubit of justices and a libation vessel. Then comes the Prophet carrying a vessel of water. The masters * Imhotep, 2700BC, was the first known recorded philosopher. Much of his writings have been looted or lost, but we know he was the builder of the first pyramid at Saqqara. Imhotep was also the first recorded physician, the first architect, and the first counsellor to a king recorded in history. The reports of his life and work on the walls of temples and in books indicate the esteem in which he was held. Among other notable African philosophers are: * Ptahhotep, 2414BC, the first ethical philosopher. He believed that life consisted of making harmony and peace with nature. All discourse on the relationship between humans and nature must give credit to the life of Ptahhotep. * Kagemni, 2300BC, the first teacher of right action for the sake of goodness rather than personal advantage. He came upon the human scene as an African philosopher nearly 1,800 years before Buddha. * Merikare, 1990BC, he valued the art of good speech. His classical teachings on good speech were recorded and passed down from generation to generation. * Sehotep-ibra, 1991BC, the first philosopher who espoused a sort of nationalism based on allegiance and loyalty to a political leader. * Amen-emhat, 1991BC, the worlds first cynic. He expressed a cynical view of intimates and friends, warning that one must not trust those who are close to you. * Amenhotep, son of Hepu, 1400BC, was the most revered of the ancient Kemetic philosophers. He was considered the son of God, a master-saint long before Jesus. * Duauf, 1340BC, was seen as the master of protocols. He was concerned with reading books for wisdom, the first intellectual in the history of philosophy. Greek philosophers Thales of Miletus is considered the first Western philosopher. He travelled to Kemet as state by himself and advised his students to go to Africa to study. Deodorise Siculus, the Greek writer, came to Africa and stayed at Anu in Egypt. He admitted that many who are celebrated among the Greeks for intelligence and learning studied in Egypt. When Africans finished building the pyramids in 2500BC, it was 1,700 years before Homer, the first Greek writer, began writing The Iliad, the European classic. Homer is said to have spent seven years in Africa, and studied law, philosophy, religion, astronomy, and politics. Many of the great European philosophers studied in Africa because it was the educational capital of the ancient world. Pythagoras is known to have spent over 20 years in Africa. When Socrates wrote of his studies in the book Bucyrus, he admitted categorically: I studied philosophy and medicine in Egypt. He did not study these subjects in Greece, but in Africa! In the area of medicine, the Africans (Ancient Egyptians) wrote such medical books as the Hearst Papyrus (7th Dynasty 2000BC), the Kahun Papyrus (12th and 13th Dynasty 2133-1766BC) which contains gynaecological treatments, and the Ebers Papyrus (18th Dynasty 1500BC). On the walls of the Temple of Kom Ombo, they left records of the original medical tools they used in their operations. These tools consist of forceps, aircups, knives, sponge, scissors, triceps, a balance to weigh portions of medicine, retractor to separate skin, birthing or delivery chair, and the origin of the modern-day RX prescription symbol. In 47BC, the medical doctors in ancient Kemet delivered Cleopatra VIIs son named Caesarion (Little Caesar). The medical procedure performed by these African doctors in the BC era to deliver this boy-child was named after Little Ceasar, from which we now have the medical term Caesarean Section. When African doctors were writing these medical texts and performing all these medical operations, Hippocrates, the Greek (now said to be the father of medicine) was not yet born, until 333BC, almost 2,000 years later. Recently, Dr Jackie Campbell, a member of a British research team from the KNH Centre for Biological Egyptology at the University of Manchester, who examined medical papyri dating back to the 1500BC era-a whole 1,000 years before the birth of Hippocrates-affirmed that: Classical scholars have always considered the Ancient Greeks, particularly Hippocrates, as being the fathers of medicine, but our findings suggest that the Ancient Egyptians were practising a credible form of pharmacy and medicine much earlier. Imhotep, the worlds first recorded multi-genius is the real father of medicine. He was born in 2800BC, so instead of modern doctors taking the derived Hippocratic Oath, medical students today should take the true, original Imhotep Oath.
