Welcome To Museum Africa!

And welcome to an exciting, fascinating journey of discovery—rather, rediscovery—of the African continent's glorious ancient past. Join us as we embark on this long-awaited journey whose destination is not so much Africa as we would like it to be, but Africa as it was and prospered before foreign domination.

Museum Africa is not about revisionist African history written by biased Afrocentric scholars. Not at all. Rather, it is a journey back into the glory years of the African continent's past, when the first civilizations were created and thrived. The map to the past was drawn by the ancient Africans themselves, who left countless records about who they were and what they accomplished.

Our journey will take us to places like Kemet (now known as Egypt), to Kush (Sudan) and Punt (Somalia), which the ancients called "God's country. In Nubia (southern Egypt) we'll visit temples the ancients erected to honor their gods, such as Apedemak, a lion-headed warrior god worshiped in Nubia, pictured below.

 

On this blog, we'll post information on Africa, and all the positive, powerful, and purposeful information  the continent has to offer! Follow our story
