Tacitus, Ethiopians and Black St. Paul
Roman historian Tacitus wrote that many of his time believed that the Jews “were a race of Ethiopian origin.”
The Bible classifies the Ethiopians & Jews together, “Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord.” (Amos 9:7)
Black Paul is mistaken for an “Egyptian” and declares himself to be a “Jew.” (Acts 21:37-39, 22: 2,3)
Persia and Ashanti
It has also been speculated that the Jewish presence and influence was greatly helped by the ancient gold trade between Persia and Africa.
Jews were the main intermediaries of this trade in the medieval ages since most Muslims (due to Islamic laws prohibition on usury) were wary of its usurious dimensions.
These Jewish itinerant traders came to rely on contacts with the various Jewish communities of West African who proved no mean help in sourcing the scarce commodity. Thus, for instance, the silk of the Royal Kente cloths of the Ashanti reputedly came from China.
Various historical accounts claim that Jewish travelers from Persia had organized exchanges of Chinese silk for gold in the Kingdom of Ghana; the Ashanti needed the silk for weaving Kente cloth and the Jews need gold for their intrinsic and fiscal value. It is said that the Ashanti words for numbers relate to those in Parsi, the language of Persia. See Lichtblau.
Genetics
Haplogroup E3B
The E3b haplogroup has been observed in all Jewish groups world wide. It is considered to be the 2nd most prevelent haplogroup amoung the Jewish population.
All the major studies agree that E-M35 is the second highest in prevalence next to J, for “Founding Jewish Lineages.” http://www.familytreedna.com/pdf/Behar_contrasting.pdf.
It is found in moderate amounts in all Jewish populations, from Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Kurdish, Yemen, Samaritan and even among Djerba Jewish groups.
The scientific consensus is that Haplogroup E3b (M35) appears to have originated in East Africa, but has been carried from there to the Near East and then on to North Africa and Europe. Today it is most common in East Africa, North Africa, the Near East and around the Mediterranean.
Haplogroup J
Haplogroup J (previously known as HG9 or Eu9/Eu10) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. T is subdivided into two subclades: haplogroup J2, defined by the M172 marker, and haplogroup J1, defined by the M267 marker.
Of special interest are maps that show the geographical spread of the J haplogroup. J1 and J2 are both common in southern Europe, central Europe, the Mediterranean region, and Africa. The J haplogroup is considered to be a signature gene of Jewish ancestry and the cohen modal gene happens to be a subgroup of J.
In fact, the highest frequencies of J1 (M267) are seen in the Middle East, north Africa, and Ethiopia. See (Thomas et al. 1999). J2 (M172) also exists in significant proportions across Africa especially among the semitic speaking peoples of Tigriniya, Amhara, and Oromiya.
The J1’s from the Middle East and North Africa seem to be distinguishable from the rest of J’s by having YCAII=22,22. Behar et al found that a significant proportion of the Jewish population of Europe (more than 20%) carry the J1 haplogroup. The other 20% carry the J2 haplogroup. See Behar et al Hum Genet (2004) 114: 354-365
Cohen Modal Haplotype
The presence among the Lemba of a disproportionate number of men carrying a particular polymorphism on the Y chromosome known as the Cohen modal haplotype suggests an ancestral link to the Jewish population. One sub-clan within the Lemba, the Buba clan, is considered by the Lemba to be their priestly clan. Among a small sample of the Buba, fifty-two percent of males were found to carry the Cohen modal haplotype CMH, which is generally suggestive of Y-DNA haplogroup J, but notably prevalent among Jewish Kohanim, or priests.
Decline of the Black Jews of Africa
Many reasons have been sought for the decline and virtual disappearance of Africa’s once thriviing Jewish communities of black Jews. Many see the beginning of this decline as contemporaneous with the advent of the Islamic religion in Africa.
Some historical accounts highlight the fact that black Jews were die-hard nationalistic traditionalists and had led the black African resistance against the influx of the black muslim jihadists and their new interpretation of morality. The most notableof these black Jewish nationalists was Queen Kahina Dahiya Bint Thabitah ibn Tifan otherwise known as El-Kahina. A descendant of one of the priestly Black Jewish families of North Africa, Kahina led the nationalist resistance against the muslim invasion until her defeat at the hands of Hassan Ibn Numan. See Margolis, “History of Jewish people”, 1927 pages 278-279. See also Remy Ilona, “The Igbos: Jews in Africa?” volume 1, Research Findings Historical Links, Commentaries, Narratives,” 2004, Mega Press Limited, Abuja, Nigeria.
Amidst this tumult, the Jews of Northern and West Africa were given a choice of conversion or emigration. Many left for the deeper forest recesses of West Africa seeking the peace and tranquility that appeared to elude them in each generation. The late incursions by the colonialist christian elements of Europe did not make matters any better. There seems to have been a direct link between the incursion of relatively modern religions in Africa and the decline of the ancient practise of the Hebrews which had a pride of place in Africa, its mother land.
For instance the Jewish enclaves of Qamnurya or Naghira in the area of modern Senegal was destroyed completely in the wake of sectarian unrest. Similarly, Al-Maghili a prominent black Muslim noble not only destroyed the Jewish enclaves of Tuat in the old Mali empire, he convinced other potentates throughout the Western Sudan to banish Jews from the empire’s cities. See Remy Ilona, supra.
Lichtblau speculates that: although “…Jewish presence is also confirmed by numerous surviving accounts of Portuguese and other European visitors in the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as North African and Arab historical records… gradually most of these communities disappeared. Since they existed largely in isolation, there was a good deal of intermarriage which for a while reinforced their influence and expansion. As a result they were increasingly viewed as a threat by Muslim rulers, and most of the Jewish communities and nomad groups south of the Atlas mountains were either forced to convert to Islam or massacred; the remainder fled to North Africa, Egypt or the Sudan, and a few also to Cameroon and Southern Africa.”

Good day
I am just curious guys.
Isaac saw his father naked he was given a name because of the ridicule.
In the story of the FFumbe clan (see above) the Nagaya name ( despised or ridiculed) is given to Makubuya i.e. after he (laughed/wondered why his father screamed because of small animal.
Bakka the place of FFumbe clan… Doc says Mecca is actually Baca Psalm 84.
In the FFumbe story Bakka implies a hill (see above story)
In Psalm 84 there is “the valley of Baca”
Can anyone sort this out for me
Mwanga,
The Abrahamic pilgrimage
to Mecca(Baca) includes the running
between the HILLS OF Safwa and Marwa.
Remember a master of Abrahamic knowledge
which was tested at the KABA was given the
title of KABAKA. The Jews refer to Abrahamic
knowledge as Kabballah. However they acknowledge
it was originally called KABAKA. Interestingly the
“King” of the BaGanda still maintains the Abrahamic
title of KABAKA.
Where did you read that Isaac saw his father’s
nakedness? I only recall that Ham saw his father
Noah’s nakedness.
Hallo Doc
Yes I meant Ham. Wasn’t Ham’s name changed to Isaac
Which according to Anglos means laughter. AK disagreed.
Using the way we pronounce Afrikan vowels …a e i o u
I noted to AK that in Luganda ……Aseka means he laughs. Asega in Tswana means ….he laughs. Ya-helka means ..he laughs in zulu, Xhosa and Swazi
Southern Africans pronounce Isaac as Aizek which is very similar to Aseka …. so isaac?
To Doc and AK.
1. Doc is right about the Ba-chwezi being ….Beings from another planet. But AK you also are also right on other things.
Early this year I met a Zimbabwean plumber in Bostwana. We were chatting about Zimababwe, Mugabe and illuminati interests/habits in Zim.
He told me something interesting i.e. that his mother (still alive) told him that years ago she and her village folk would never starve. They lived near a forest and that they would just go to the forest and pray for food. The food would appear at a certain spot in the forest. They could eat as much as they wanted but could not carry away any of the food. (To me this is related to Mana)
One day I narrated this to a Ugandan prof.
I met a Ugandan prof. (Scientist) from the west of Uganda i.e. Ankole whose culture is similar to that of the Tutsi’s. This is what he told me.
“Of course these things are every where in Afrika”!
When he was young (age 8) looking after cattle in the village, one day they noticed some bananas and a calabash of milk on a rock on their pasture. As naughty kids (4 of them) they went and ate all the bananas and drank the milk. Afterwards the hid to see if the owner would come to the rock.
Instead, they saw the empty calabash disappear into thin air….. poof!
On the days they went to that particular area of pasture the same thing would happen. i.e. they would find bananas and a calabash of milk. They would eat, drink and hide.
The same thing would happen. i.e. the calabash would disappear into thin air.
This went on for almost 7 months.
Then one evening at around 7 pm when they were preparing to go to bed in their large village hut, lights started flashing inside the and outside the hut. Then came a knock on the door. When the door was opened, a strange lady asked for their mother.
The lady was let in and she introduced herself as the younger sister to the prof.’s mother. The sister who had disappeared as a baby.
Apparently prof’s grandmother had given birth to this lady. This lady was born with a wound on her chest which could not heal. One day the Grandmother when to cultivate on the farm with the baby. She rested the baby underneath a tree shade and continued her work. On finishing the work, she came back to the baby and the baby was nowhere to be found. The whole village looked for the baby to no avail. They eventually gave up thinking some wild animal had eaten the baby.
The lady who was in prof’s was that lost baby.
The lady told them that she had been taken by the Ba-Chwezi (Alien beings) and that she lives with them. She also told prof’s mother how she had been visiting(unseen) and feeding the kids with bananas and milk every time they went to the pasture.
She was given a space to sleep.
Prof says they (kids) could not sleep.
Then sometime around 1 am the lights flashed inside the hut and they saw the lady float thru the window and into thin air.
I asked the prof. whether they had a car or electricity he answered “ Muwanga , we did not have a car nor electricity no one had a car or had electricity in the whole village. Remember that’s why people in Afrikan villages go to bed early.”
The other thing I noted is that the Rwandese/Tutsi refer to God as Mana and many names end with Mana. e.g.Habyarimana, Ntachirutimana, Sibozimana, Bizimana i.e Things of God, Gift of god, Know God etc
Doc. You say Prince Kakungulu is a direct descendant of King David. I noted the Ka- and Ngulu. Ngulu in Luganda means …up or upper. The Swazi’s call God “Ngulu-Ngulu” or Nkhosi and so do the Zulus, Ndebeles etc. Baganda refer also refer to God as Gulu
Heaven in Luganda is Mu-Gulu. In Swazi, Zulu etc its known as E-Zulu-wini
Any meaning to all this?
Hi, Muwanga;
I rarely argue on what I don’t know or understand. In my writings, I rarely say things that I am not relatively sure. That is, when I speak or write, I do not do so from a position of probably, could be, or maybe point of view like the Europeans scholars from which mentally enslaved Africans write, think, or copy. I write with relative certainty because most of the things I write is given. I am not the expert but HE who teaches me.
I have read from renowned writers like Zakaria Sitchin who talks about the ancient Sumerians coming from the planet Nibiru to earth in a space ship. I have also heard from many Amorites – ancient priestly linage of the Hebrews describe themselves as Demi-gods. In fact, the Ihiagwa people say that their ancestors came to this earth along with Chiukwu (God Almighty). So, you see, there are many of such stories around Africa. I am not disproving or approving what they say because I don’t know. And besides, the ancient Hebrews say that it is impossible to tell the Igbo story because they are spirits; and God also say in Isaiah 44:7 that no one knows anything about his ancient people.
Rest assured, the name Isaac/Ishak/Ishiaku INDISPUTABLY means “Crown of wealth” and not “laughter”. Do you really believe that just because Sarah laughed when she heard an angel tell Abraham that she will have a son in her old age, she then turned around and named her son laughter? That you have some words close to the letters of the english word “Isaac” means laugh does not mean that the name Ishiaku means laughter. Ya, some British say that they are Israelites because Isaac is close to Isaacson and the word Brit which they say means covenant. But the fact remains that the words Isaac, Isaacson, and Brit are not even Hebrew at all. They also say that Abraham means “father of many nations” but his name Abia-Amar means “He who comes as a witness or to speak for”. The Christians, including the Igbo people say that “Jehovah Tsidkenu” means “Jehovah my righteousness because that is what their Europeans gods whether you call them Jews or Christains told them, but that meaning is not only false, it is made up. The true meaning of Jehovah Tsidkenu is not “Jehovah my righteousness”, but “Jehovah, the Most High God”. In Igbo God is Chi and it is pronounced variously as She/Shi, Tsi, and Chi. My people in Ora-Ivite say “Tsi”. The letter “d” in Tsidkenu is a nuisance fitted in by foreigners.
Remember that I told you earlier that I write with certainty and that is why I challenge the most knowledgeable among the Jewish Rabbis and Scholars to come and refute what I am saying. In fact, I dare them to do so. Now, Muwanga, what makes you think that any non-Hebrew native of Africa can tell Africans about the Hebrew when the Jews who are in control of Hebrew ancient sacred texts know very little about ancient Israel and next to nothing about the “Greater Hebrew”?
We have suffered enough in the hand of the Europeans who make up stories about who and what we are. They call you African Negroes or Blacks further broken down into pigmies, Hottentots, Bantu, Bushman, etc. Why don’t we ask these people their ancient names and call them by what they tell us. From what I have seen, Africans will remain slaves to the Europeans scholars, experts, and even in economics and polittics until Messaiah comes.
Africans can never get anywhere in anything until we put aside persnal, tribal, and ethnic promotion. You are still who you are regardless what you make yourself out to be to the world. The truth will help us more than anything esle. Anyone who is talking about the Hebrew should be very careful not to counter God. Thanks.
Mwanga,
Remember the word Mzungu
originally referred to space Aliens as
well and was only later associated with the
arrival of the Europeans. The Nephillim
meaning ” The Fallen Ones” came from
the planet Nibiru(Hebrew). Nibiru was called
the Red Planet and referred to Mars. Although
some believe that it is another planet within our
solar system which only appears at its orbit of
the sun every 3,600 years. The Black Stone which
is at the Kaba originated on the planet Nibiru and
was given to Abraham. The 8 pointed star which is called
the Star/shield of Abraham was known to have originally
been the symbol of Nibiru. The Dogon tribe have ancient
astronomical charts which depict star alignments and
constellations which modern science has only recently
come to know. They have a tradition of being taught by aliens.
The Dogon priest can call crocodiles from the water and feed
them with his hands. I saw this in a National Geographics
documentary.
The BaGandan royalty are by tradition descendants of
King David. This is referenced in Hebrewisms of West Africa.
(Williams/Norden). The Kakungulus are of royal BaGandan
origin. Semei KaKungulu married the daughters of two
Kabakas and set out to declare himself a Kabaka in the
East(Mbale). Read my essay on Kakungulu(British Zionism)
it has already posted on Rasta Livewire. The direct descendants
of David are also believed to be found amongst the lion(Mpologoma)
and lamb(Ndiga) clans.
Although it may seem ridiculous the spontaneous naming
of a child was common practice amongst some of the early
Israelites. Read about the naming of Jacob’s 12 sons who
were instantly named at birth by his wives Rachael and Leah.
There are two similar names that may have applied to Jacob’s
son Isaac and therefore may account for the discrepancy.
1. There is Tzhaq which means to laugh. This is confirmed
in Luganda where as you correctly observed has a very similar word
meaning ” To Laugh “. However Genesis 26:20 associates the word
Esek with Isaac.
Genesis 26:20(Old Testament)
And the herdmen of Gerar did STRIVE with ISAAC’S
herdmen saying,The water is ours: and he called the
name of the well ESEK because they STROVE with
them.
This STRIVING for WATER may have been associated
with a striving for WEALTH or the CROWN OF WEALTH as
Akkanam stated. Therefore it is possible that there could
have been one reference or name of Abraham’s son as
Isaac(Ishaq)meaning to laugh and another reference as
Esek meaning one who strives for wealth or the crown
of wealth.
Good Morning:
No!, no!, no!, and no!. I am saying that Isaac which the Jews write as Ishak is Ishiaku and that means “Crown of Wealth” and that fits because Abraham had everything but a child from Sarah before Isaac was born. I am not saying that the Igbo is the original Hebrew based on coincidence, but because Igbo is the language of God as Chiukwunna (God Almighty Father) himself is my witness. You see, every Hebrew word ends in a vowel unless the writer chooses not to put them. For example, the Jews write Isaac is Ishak because they do not know, speak or understand Hebrew. Only those who speak the language know where to place these vowels. Yes, the Jews possess the Hebrew Alphabets which, by the way, has been modified to accomodate Aryan langauge infusions. The fact that my authentic Hebrew last name is written in English alphabets does not make my name English. So, to get the true meaning of the Hebrew name which has been short changed as “Ishak” to its true rendering, those who speak and understand the various dilects of Igbo must place the vowels in their appropriate places. Hence “Ishak” is “Ishiaku” and it indisputably means “crown of wealth” and that is not by coincidence..
Remember that eventhough the secret of God is hidden in Hebrew alphabets, the secret of the Hebrew alphabets lies in her unique vowels and consonants. Igbo (Hebrew) language in its closest “pure” form is spoken only by the Igbo of Nigeria. Igbo (Hebrew) is not Swahili or any of the Bantu languages. And we know that the Hebrews live together with the Bantus in many parts of Africa with heavy co-habitation in the Southern, eastern, and Central Africa. Even in Southern Nigeria which was the ancient home of the Hebrews from where Abraham’s ancestors migrated to Sumer and beyond, many Hebrews in these areas like Yoruba and Edo do not speak Igbo today because of the influence of the language of the migrants.
The culture and language of Igbo of Nigeria serves as the link between the world today and the world before Noah. And every one living before the flood spoke Hebrew and bore Hebrew names from Adam (Adama) to Noah (Nochie) and his three sons: Ham (Ama), Shem (Chima), and Japheth (Jefeta).
I know that some Moslems that read this site may want to challenge the things I said about Isaac suggesting that Ishmael (Ishimaelu) doe not count. You see, by every Hebrew standard and culture, Ishmael is the LEGITIMATE first born of Abraham (Abia-Amar) and was supposed to inherit their father, but Ishmael was born of flesh while Isaac was born of the “spirit”. That is to say that Ishmael was born outside of the covenant of circumcision while Isaac was born within the bond of covenant. The convenant of circumcision is so important that God said that any descendant of Abraham that is not circumcized should be excluded from the promise and that is why the Arabs are not considered Hebrews. If you notice, the Children of Israel circumcise on the “eighth day” just like their father Isaac, while the Arabs circumcise at two years old when the father Ishmael was circumcised. Thanks.
Mr. Akannan, my wife and I, Haitian originated from Haiti, live in the US. We are very impress of the hidden information that we spent an entire afternoon on our sabbat day to read and discuss the information provided in this very blog. I bless YHWH for unfolding the truth about Igbo and the relation that exists between slave descent in the America such as Haitian, African American, and so forth. In the book of Isaiah 52 stated clearly that His people will know his name as He fortold:
4For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “At first my people went down to Egypt to live;lately, Assyria has oppressed them. 5“And now what do I have here?” declares the Lord.“For my people have been taken away for nothing,and those who rule them mock,a”declares the Lord.“And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. 6Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will knowthat it is I who foretold it.Yes, it is I.”
My wife send her thanks for such great information that is unknown to us. We have always look for the truth; we always felt some emptyness within for not knowing who we are, for of the depravation of our culture and origine. We will be more than happy if you can provide us of books you have already written on that subject about the Igbo and Hebrew, Isreal. I have spent more than three years searching on Igbo in regard to Haitian people. What have led me to my research is common expressions we use in Haiti such as Ibo beach, Ibo lele, Ogu, Egba, and many more that are hidden within the haitian culture. So much that we do not know about ourselves. We will be so greatful to e-mail
us some reference or website you can refer us for more information:

Greetings! Not so fast , Bro Ishaq , The Igbo Race is indeed an ancient Race . Igbo which may be pronounced Ebo/ Ibo It is also today pronounced Hebrew . / Heebrew. Igbo which is Original Hebrew was the language of all mankind before the destruction of the rebel tower( Tower of Babel ) Igbos were not a specific group of people until after the falling away of mankind, which resulted in the confounding of the Language . Which language ? Igbo of course If you fail to acknowledge this then read Gen.11. vs 1. They were made to speak like toddlers do. The Word is light and the in habitants of the world were filled with it, but they rebelled against Mother Nature ( Anaturu) and She punished them . She took the Light/ Word away and they were given lesser light . In other words they were made to speak like little children do-and what little children says mean nothing .
As concerning Igbos / Hebrews, they are the descendants of Shem by way of Eber who was branded the Igbo/Hebrew along with all of his descendants They were all husbandmen- cultivators of the soil. The Most High chose Abraham from amongst the Igbo / Hebrew Race. ..read Isaiah. Chpt. 51.
You are on point about the Amorites. They are Canaanites as well as Ijebu (Jebusites) and the Hivites who are the Housas today were the people of Gibeon -The Book of Joshua ( Aja osi wah) chp. 9
Good day Ak and Doc.
What do you say about this article. see name of author at end.
The Kalenjins of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania had the role of defending Egypt,up to the time of Herodotus. When Herodotus visited Egypt during the 5th century BCE, he encountered a sub-nation of Egypt known as Sebenitus. Until the 40s, all Kalenjin were known by fourth names namely Sebei, Sabaot, Miot and Midian. Scholars from the community coined the word, Kalenjin, meaning I tell you to unite all the sub-nations of the tribe. Sebei and Sabaot now live around Mt. Elgon in Western Kenya and Eastern Uganda. It is possible that Herodotus misspelled the word, Sebenitus, which should have been either Sebei or Sabaot. Even the Bible confirms the presence of the Sebei (Kalenjin). Job 1:5 says “…and the Sabeans fell upon and took them away.” Ezekiel also wrote about the Kalenjins (Sabeans), a sub-tribe of Ancient Egyptians. ze:23:42 says, “..and a voice of multitude being at ease was with her, and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness which put bracelets upon their hands and beautiful crowns upon their heads.”
When Herodotus asked the Sebenitus people about where their aboriginal home was, they told him is/was a place called Nttr-the holy land of the God in the south. With the Benefit of Kalenjin language, we can learn that Ntrr was actually Tororo Hills in Eastern Uganda. Tororo means the exalted one, the high hill or even God. Hence Ntrr should be netoror-the exalted one!
According to their own accounts, the Kalenjin believe that their ancestors aboriginal home was here in Kenya at a place called Tororo Hills in Eastern Uganda. From here they migrated to Misiri or Egypt, where they stayed for thousands of years, and then migrated back again to Kenya. Some remained in Egypt. Others are in Ethiopia, Sudan, Eritrea and many other places around the world. However not all Old Egyptians (Kalenjin) left for Egypt. The Ogiek or Dorobo who speak Kalenjin do not recall having migrated from elsewhere. They say that they have been living in Kenya since time immemorial.
In 2001, I interviewed some oldmen as to why they left Egypt. They told me that they left Egypt after being attacked by a mysterious people called Kipyayamungeen. They said these people were white. (The term, “white”, is a relative term, which means lighter skin color.) They say this was during the reign of Pharaoh Kipcheum. According to Dr Sambu, about 250,000 warriors left Egypt for East Africa as a result of this invasion. This event coincides with the first Persian invasion of Egypt, which occurred about 525 BCE.
Because the Kalenjin tongue is basically a dialect of the Egyptian language, many Egyptian words and names are recognizable by the Kalenjin peoples, such as:
1. For thousands of years, Egypt was known to the entire ancient world as Kagypta, meaning the sanctuary of Pta. Pta, now known as Kiptaiyat in modern Kalenjin language, was the deity of Memphis. When the Greeks came to Egypt about 2500 years ago, they could not pronounce the word Kagypta. Instead, they pronounced it as Aigyptos or Aegyptus. They also referred to people of Egypt as Kiptaios (see the word Kiptaiyaat above!).
2. The word, kmt, which the Egyptians referred to as their country, is also traceable to the Kalenjin tongue. Kemet in Kalenjin means country. Some other Egyptians called their country Khemet, which historians used to coin the word Hamites.
3. Pharaoh in Kalenjin language means a massively built house, a leader or president. In fact, Pharaoh should be written as Parao, from the words Para (meaning big or vast) and ooh or woor, meaning the big one. Parao should mean the leader of the entire nation. I say it should be Parao because the English word Empire is derived from it. Em in Kalenjin and Ancient Egyptian means country, while para or pire means wide, big or vast. Hence, the Europeans coined the word Empire and its derivatives from the word Parao or Pharaoh! The Kalenjin people have produced some of the Egyptian Pharaohs.
4. Pharaoh Amasis in Kalenjin may mean the one loved by God, the one who loves God, the one who eats God or the one who is eaten by God. Am in Kalenjin means eat, while Asista means the sun. There are many other examples.
The Kalenjin say that upon arrival in east Africa, they circumcised their boys in two places. They circumcised their boys near Mt Elgon at a hill called tulwop Kabiniet (ie the hill of Phallus).Around 1500 CE they circumcised their boys again at a hill called Tulwop Monyiseet (ie the hill of the foreskins). It is interesting to note that like their ancestors in Egypt, the Kalenjins gave functionally descriptive names to hills where circumcision rites have been performed. Remember God telling Jushua to circumcise his boys again in the hill of the foreskins (Joshua 53) in Gilgal area. Again the Kalenjin say that their ancestors used to circumcise their boys in Gilgil area which is 100 km west of nairobi. Gilgil is a corruption of Gilgal, which is the military base of the Kenyan Army.
Kalenjin Dieties
Like, Old Egyptians, Kalenjin was a monotheistic society. They believe in one God who has so many names. Asis is the deity of the Kalejin. This is Isis. Asis or Aset among the Barabaig of Tanzania was believed to be a woman. Other names we brought from Egypt include Illat-the God of Justice. Some other people later corrupted to Allah or Illay among the Somalis of Kenya and Ethiopia. Chebo-Amoni is another name of our deity which the Greeks corrupted to Amoni. The Kalenjin word osirun means to resurrect, to wake up from sleep or to cross a bridge. Apeso is also the name of our Deity, known as Apis.
The Kalenjin used to refer to themselves as children of Miot or Myoot, known in Ancient Egypt as Ma-at, another deity of Old Egyptians.
Kalenjin and Moses
The Bible tells us that Moses married a lady from Midian people known as Zipporah. I am now convinced that Moses was a Kalenjin since Moso in our language means a child. Moses was said to have been a child rescued somewhere in Egypt. We have songs about Moses in kalnjin. After circumcising our girls, we sing a song called, Ndomo rireet ab Mugaika koto mokimi emoni, ie if it were not for the sea of Musaiga (Moses) we would be dead. The story about Moses crossing the sea with his people is common among many tribes in Kenya and Southern Africa. This confirms that Moses was an Egyptian. Midian is a clan of the Kalenjins of Baringo district of Kenya.
Kalenjin and Sabeans
Sebenitus also refers to the people known as Sabeans. In fact it was the Sabeans of South Arabia who established the first civilization in the Arabian peninsula-thousands of years before the emergence of the Bedouin Arabs. Through the Sabeans (Kalenjin) link, it is not difficult to explain the presence of Old Egyptians from remote antiquity, in the Malayan Peninsula, Indo-China, and the heavy concentration of Old Egyptians in India, the Angkor and Champa in Southeast Asia, the vast populations of the dark-skinned peoples in Southern China as far as Japan’s Ainu people.
It can be seen in retrospect that the Kalenjins are Old Egyptians what with more information coming to this site from me.
Kalenjin history should now be rewritten by its free natives (and not by the colonial powers of European academia), and its great past reconciled with that of other Old Egyptians around the world.

Doc. I Quote you below
Genesis 26:20(Old Testament)
And the herdmen of Gerar did STRIVE with ISAAC’S
herdmen saying,The water is ours: and he called the
name of the well ESEK because they STROVE with
them.
This STRIVING for WATER may have been associated
with a striving for WEALTH or the CROWN OF WEALTH as
Akkanam stated. Therefore it is possible that there could
have been one reference or name of Abraham’s son as
Isaac(Ishaq)meaning to laugh and another reference as
Esek meaning one who strives for wealth or the crown
of wealth.
End quote.
Doc. Esek you say means to strive .
In Luganda there is
Okusaka – to strive but specificly for for food ( work and get paid food)
Asaka – he /strives
Esek……?
