“Maat is that historical moment in Afrika’s history where Afrikan civilization was preeminent in the world. Afrika and things Afrikan were the only representatives of order, civility, and knowledge. The Nile Valley civilization, including Punt, Nubia-Kush, and KMT stand out as one of several early river valley civilizations in Afrika (Niger, Kongo, Zambesi). There is some evidence of earlier civilizations along the coast of East Afrika. The record of the Nile Valley civilization however, is indisputable, and establishes this seminal Afrikan civilization as the earliest documented civilization in world history by thousands of years. In its remote origins, and throughout its five millennia (50 centuries) of achievement, it was ruled and peopled by Afrikans. Only in its last 3 and ½ centuries (a period of rapid decline, disintegration and confusion) was it ruled by non-Afrikans. It is also established that the Nile Valley civilization was the doorway through which passed the knowledge and techniques of spiritual and civil order, medicine, science, architecture, agriculture and art, to the rest of the ancient world… The apex of this civilization in documented history occurred between 5,000 and 3,500 BCE. By that time, the masterly engineered hydraulic works along the Nile had been completed, along with the pyramids and Her-Em-Ache, the Great Sphinx. The Nile Valley was the gateway for Afrika’s civilizing the world, and conversely, it became the gateway for the rape and pillage of Afrika.”
