There has and will continue to be a tendency for Westerners to speak of Kemetian religion and Afrikan religion as if these were two separate entities. What this then creates is a false dichotomy on the Afrikan continent , where Kemet is divorced from the rest of Afrika or, to put it another way Kemet is divorced from Nubia, as if there is neither contiguity nor continuity. What has been made clear from many of our scholars (past and present) is that ancient Kemetian religion was Afrikan religion; one cannnot isolate Kemet from Afrika any more than one can isolate a Christian Rome from a Christian Britain.

Two different nations that practice the same religion with different accents and inclinations can be found on every continent. Kemet (what is known today as Egypt) as it was called in the ancient times, is an Afrikan nation in the sense that the continental memory and as well the cultural products are similar to those found throughout the continent. Once we understand the mythological and philosophical foundations of Afrikan religion, the concepts then will begin to be easy to access; it is like cracking a combination to a complex lock. Once it has been cracked, awaits is a new world of overstanding and oneness.
