Los orígenes de la antigua Kush
Tienes que conocer el mundo antiguo para comprender el mundo moderno. Durante años, la historia y las contribuciones de Kush a la civilización mundial fueron en gran parte tergiversadas. Los primeros arqueólogos europeos lo explicaron como un reflejo o colonia de Egipto cuando Egipto se ha explicado durante mucho tiempo como un producto del Cercano Oriente y el Mediterráneo (no de África).
El legendario Reino de Kush, la madre de las civilizaciones africanas, una cultura deslumbrante que floreció en la región conocida como Nubia (que se extiende desde el Alto Nilo hasta el Mar Rojo, lo que hoy es Egipto y Sudán) hace casi 5.000 años y rigió el mundo durante milenios. La región se convirtió en un importante centro comercial de productos del interior africano, el desierto árabe y la cuenca mediterránea. Kush pone de manifiesto el papel que desempeñaron los africanos en un mundo antiguo interconectado.
Durante mucho tiempo, los académicos eurocéntricos no concibieron que una civilización negra fuera tan avanzada. Las antiguas culturas nubias eran sofisticadas y cosmopolitas. Afortunadamente, la verdad sobre esta civilización africana está emergiendo gradualmente a medida que los restos arqueológicos sobrevivientes de Kush revelan un fascinante pueblo antiguo desconocido para el mundo. Ésta es la verdad de la historia africana y debería enseñarse en todas las escuelas. Los europeos ven la antigua Grecia simbólicamente como la madre de su civilización (que también fue influenciada por las civilizaciones africanas clásicas). Los africanos debemos ver a Kush como nuestro gran antepasado. Basándose en sus estudios, viajes, excavaciones y trabajo de campo, Nubia Wardford Polk, nos lo cuenta en "Los origenes de la antigua Kush"

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Antropóloga / Científica Cultural (Arqueóloga) Nubia Wardford-Polk tiene una maestría en arqueología histórica especializada en arqueología del mundo africano, mundos históricos y prehistóricos. Su participación e investigación primaria en arqueología, antropología e investigación histórica dieron como resultado conclusiones sobre la importancia de la civilización antigua kushita / merolítica (antiguo Sudán) que es anterior a Egipto.
[ENGLISH]
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies [CEADA] invites to the conference “Origins of Ancient Kush” presented by Nubia Wardford-Polk, M.A.
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies has been created to disseminate Afrocentric and Pan-Africanist thought through the experiences and contributions of Africans and their descendants worldwide. It is an open and permanent space where experts in different areas of knowledge are invited. The dialogue revolves around issues of collective interest and from the Afrocentric, Pan-Africanist, and anti-colonialist perspectives.
Origins of Ancient Kush
You have to know the ancient world to understand the modern world. For years, Kush's history and contributions to world civilization were largely misrepresented. Early European archaeologists explained it as a reflection or colony of Egypt when Egypt has long been explained as a product of the Near East and the Mediterranean (not Africa).
The legendary Kingdom of Kush, the mother of African civilizations, a dazzling culture that flourished in the region known as Nubia (stretching from the Upper Nile to the Red Sea, what is now Egypt and Sudan) nearly 5,000 years ago and ruled the world for millennia. The region became an important commercial center for products from the African interior, the Arab desert, and the Mediterranean basin. Kush makes evident the role that Africans played in an interconnected ancient world.
For a long time, Eurocentric scholars did not conceive that a black civilization was so advanced. The ancient Nubian cultures were sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Fortunately, the truth about this African civilization is gradually emerging as the surviving archaeological remains of Kush reveal a fascinating ancient people unknown to the world. This is the truth of African history, and it should be taught in all schools. Europeans see ancient Greece symbolically as the mother of their civilization (which was also influenced by classical African civilizations). We Africans must see Kush as our great ancestor. Based on his studies, travel, excavations, and fieldwork, Nubia Wardford Polk tells us about it in "Origins of ancient Kush."

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Anthropologist / Cultural Scientist (Archaeologist)
Nubia Wardford-Polk holds an M.A in Historical Archaeology specializing in Archaeology of the African world, Historic, and Prehistoric worlds. Her involvement and primary research in archaeology, anthropology, and historical research resulted in conclusions regarding the importance of the Ancient Kushite/Merolitic (Ancient Sudan) civilization which predates Egypt.

Is the sun yellow? Like in those pictures you drew as a kid? The answer is no. On this StarTalk explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice investigate the true color of the Sun.

Neil explains why the Sun’s true color is white. You’ll learn how the atmosphere takes the Sun’s white light and turns it into something else. You’ll also learn why the blue sky is stolen sunlight.

Lastly, Neil gives us a photography lesson and tells us how photographers deal with different light. We investigate indoor vs. outdoor light. All that, plus, Neil explains why snow being white is evidence of the Sun’s white light.

⁣The purpose of this documentary is to re-examine the understanding of the origins of Capoeira. I believe it is important to see Capoeira as a cultural practice that is a combination of various cultural practices that were already practiced by peoples in Angola and they continued these practices in Brazil as a from of cultural expression. I believe viewing Capoeira solely as a from of "resistance" reinforces negative and misleading ideas that African people have no history or culture of their own, and that they simply created cultural practices as a form of "resistance" or "revolt" against their oppressors. It is very important be knowledgeable about the true history of Africa and its people.

Filmed in 2016 with an iPhone 6 in Salvador and Itaparica Island in Bahia, Brazil. This is the first draft of the documentary and I hope to add the additional interviews for a more complete version. Production was funded by the Theory-to-Practice grant program at Ohio Wesleyan University. Logistical support was provided by Brazil Cultural. Translation by Rubens da Costa Silva.
