The Neteru: How We All Came To Be Mary Bass

Never before has one civilization given so much to mankind as Ancient Egypt. It literally sprang forth upon the Earth thousands of years ago, providing us with vast amounts of knowledge and truth that still influences how we live today - whose affects we are still discovering and learning about. Ancient Egypt continues to be the largest and oldest source of global mystery in the world long after it significantly influenced cultures worldwide. So old, it seems magical to us now. But it is indeed real. In our "civilized" world ancient history has almost been forgotten and the stories of where we came from have long ceased to be told regularly. Misinformation and worshipping what is supposedly "new" has replaced our innate connection to the Earth and our ancestors, whose infinite knowledge eternally rests, waiting to be shared and appreciated by us. This book serves the intention of bringing Ancient Egypt and their stories back to life in a fun, fascinating way that will have you, your kids and family, your friends, your students or any group of people wanting to share this book together, intrigued and thirsty for more. I am so fascinated by Egypt and its magic that I felt compelled to write about it after visiting there for the first time - many more books and trips are sure to come. I wish someone recommended a book like this to me before I went. And I certainly would have loved to have had the opportunity to learn about Ancient Egypt in grade school and college, as I'm sure many African-Americans would have too. Learning that we are descendants of a land that contributed to the world in such significant, inventive, positive ways while growing up may have changed our collective self-esteem and how we, as a group, are systematically viewed and treated today. Ancient Egyptian history is here for everyone and is a true world treasure. As we live through this intense phase in our world history, giving birth to a new Earth, we must bring this treasure with us and learn from it. When we can connect their stories to our own, we can unlock its secrets and personally discover it for ourselves, without leaving the comfort of our homes.
