OUR SUDAN is a short film to inspire a new generation. Based on a TEDxKhartoum talk by the same name it has been made to inspire young Sudanese to think differently about themselves and their future - to inspire them to believe that, "the future is not a matter of what will be, but what could be. That it is a choice and it is theirs to make."The film OUR SUDAN tells the story of a generation of young men and women raised in a world of great tumult and change in which the dream of an older generation seems to have been lost. The film presents a new perspective, offering a celebration of Sudan's promise and calling upon young people to, "dream a new dream, the dream of their generation."An Arabic version of the same is under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-28EsAZ_dVo

Kmt(yw) Blacks (falsely and mistranslated as 'Egyptians' Greek, English) Recorded their Journey from Kemet to Central Africa (sub-Saharan Africa), they would put this journey in one of their most sacred text, The Amduat "Ancestral Realm" (translated as 'Underworld") see Book of Gates (Budge, British Museum).

Those who are interested in my Nkosi clothing line can support Kedika: The Peer Review Science channel by purchasing here at the link below. Thank you for all the support, so far, I didn't expect this to do so well. Once I get my degree I will expand the clothing brand to new bigger heights, but this will do right now as an undergraduate student going for my AA in History.

We will examine if Nubia and Upper Kemet are in the same cultural sphere by gleaning Dr. Bruce Williams published peer-reviewed data. Did the Blacks of so-called sub-Saharan Africa in Sudan (Nubia) conquer the territories called ta Smau- Upper Regions? What are the Gebel Sheikh Suleiman Inscription and relief, and how should we interpret it?

This video discusses peer-reviewed data that confirms the broad Sudanic and Nile Valley origins of the Bamileke of Cameroon. We discuss a number of hypothetical migrations that took place, the location of the Bamileke originally between Chad and the Nile Valley Sudan (Nubia). We also review and discuss data presented at Syracuse University on the possible ancient Egyptian ancestry of the Bamileke, the tradition of skulls found among them possibly being originated from ancient Egypt.

In this video, we explore the peer-reviewed published data by SOY Keita as he elaborates on the STR methodology for testing the Amarana and Ramsiside period mummies. According to the peer-reviewed from SOY Keita, the majority of the tested Egyptian mummies would have 'Sub-Saharan African" ethnic affiliation. SOY Keita also gives the reliability and limitations of this method.

This data examines the kmtyw Black revolutionary Nswt Bity Hor Wn Nfr and his brave son leading a 20-year revolt against the foreign Ptolemaic Dynasty. The Kmtyw of the Nile Valley united with other kmtjw Blacks from Upper Kemet which includes Sudan Nubia tA Setj and controlled the entire Southern regions. The Ptolemies captured these Kmtyw rebels and their family member was sold on a Greek slave block, her name was 'Thassius', and she was a Kemtyw- Black, Dark skinned Nile Vally African. The Greeks described her as a 'Dark Skinned' Egyptian. Here is the most amazing war story.
*Note: My Pronunciation of the Greek name Ptolemy and Why?
As a historical linguist with over 100 hours of formal training from VLC and the University of Leiden courses, its simply NO correct pronunciation of the name -Ptolemy-, see: https://www.bing.com/search?q=UK+English+pronounciation+of+Ptolemy++%5Bt%C9%92l%C9%99mi%5D&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&lq=0&pq=uk+english+pronounciation+of+ptolemy++%5Bt%C9%92l%C9%99mi%5D&sc=0-46&sk=&cvid=42616EBC7D744FA18AA43D7CDF194E18&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=
Pronunciation strictly depends on dialect variants of English, different language speakers, and also regional accents. There are many ways to pronounce his name in the different varieties and dialects of English, as a linguist I will name a few including the Greek and Egyptian variants to shed light on the fact that it's no correct pronunciation. I specifically pronounce it -pa'täləmē- for I'm an AAVE/Black English speaker and simply pronounce words differently.
Actually, Black English speakers would have the most historically accurate pronunciation of -Ptolemy- for it's closer to the original in Greek (Reconstructed) and Egyptian in which both Greek and Egyptian include the -[p]- sound, while standard U.S English speakers have dropped the -[p]-sounds like the Chinese. Oh, yes, Black English is actually an AUTHENTIC and recognized dialect of standard U.S English similar to other African dialects of English, like Jamaican, Creole, Gullah, and Black English (Speakers from Baltimore, Georgia, Memphis, Florida, New Orleans, Banton Rouge Philadelphia, D.C,). Here is the source that can update you on Black English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....African-American_Ver
US English (drops the -[p]-)
ˈ[täləmē]
a) The standard way to pronounce it in standard American English is [ˈtäləmē] where the [p] is eradicated, and the first vowel is actually a long /ä/ sound, source: https://www.bing.com/search?q=define+Ptolemy&form=DCTRQR
UK English (drops the -[p]-)
[tɒləmi]
b) Another way to pronounce Ptolemy is [tɒləmi], here, the [p] is eradicated the vowel is /ɒ/, this pronunciation can be observed here
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ptolemy
Black English (keeps the -[p]-)
[pa'täləmē]
c) The way we pronounce it in the Black English dialect is the more accurate for it corresponds with the Egyptian and Greek usages, I will supply the original Greek pronunciation, in Greek which the name is derived from the p is actually pronounced. Let's examine:
Ancient Greek (Keeps the -[p]-)
Attic Greek
[pto.leˈmɛ.os]
source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki..../%CE%A0%CF%84%CE%BF%
Byzantine Greek (Keeps the -[p]-)
pto.leˈme.os
Source: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki..../%CE%A0%CF%84%CE%BF%
In Arabic, they don't even use the -[p]- sound they actually use the -[b]- sound and it's NOT eradicated as in U.S English
Arabic (Keeps the b sound) [p] - [b]
[baṭlamiyūs]
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki..../%CE%A0%CF%84%CE%BF%
The reconstructed Egyptian Pronunciation is with the [p], AAVE/Black English pronunciation is close to the reconstructed Greek original of the [p] being pronounced, and close to the Egyptian reconstructed pronunciation as [pɛtuːɑruːmiːs]
Egyptian (Includes the [p])
[pɛtuːɑruːmiːs]
