Though I feel the thrust for centering Kmt for Afrikan people, I feel a special kinship to the Twa people of Central Afrika.
Even though my direct lineage in the Sudan is often liked with the Kushites and Kemet, (even the Zulu for my specific nation, the Pojulu people) I have not yet read the scholarship that centers the Twa people in their contributions to our development as human beings.
They seem to have been the only ones to maintain a close relationship with nature even through the era of colonization. If nature is the highest technology, then the Twa people are extremely advanced.

There’s a book called Intimate Fathers: The Nature and Context of Aka Pygmy Paternal Infant Care. It details Twa fatherhood and gives insight into the culture

Gratitude! Twa culture is a crucial component in the redefinition of what constitutes as “technology”.

Baba Oba T’Shaka speaks about the Twa a lot, check his lectures https://abibitumitv.com/search?keyword=Oba+T%27Shaka

WOW! He refers to them as the founders of KMT! I wonder why we do not focus on modern Twa culture. There must surely be some vestiges of the foundational principles that empowered KMT to become what was!

Yep, there’s info out there about them founding civilizations around the world. That’s an interesting point you raise. There’s work all over to do, as Baba Tony Browder once said about the pyramids in Sudan, those haven’t been looked at as much as ‘Egypt’s’. Same for Twa from an Afrikan perspective.

In terms of establishing civilizations all over, I have heard about the ones in the Southeast Asia archipelagoes. Unfortunately, the genocide racial washing out of Blackness, and suppression of history have resulted in the loss of so much of our global history.
It would be so great to place the timeline of when the Twa dominated and the consequent changes.
