What does NṯR (commonly rendered as Netcher) truly mean?
For too long, this term has been inaccurately translated as “God” — a misinterpretation rooted in early European translation practices. This mistranslation has been widely accepted by convention, not because it is correct or reflective of the worldview of the people of Kemet 🇰🇲.
In this powerful lecture, Akinjide Bonotchi Montgomery dismantles the Eurocentric misrepresentation of NṯR and guides us toward understanding the term from an authentic Afrikan-centered perspective 🌍.
🔍 By re-examining Netcher through the lens of the original Black authors of the concept, we uncover English terms and frameworks that more accurately reflect the profound wisdom of classical Kemet.

BlackPower discussion regarding why the concept of ‘god’ has been so dangerous on the mind of Abibifoɔ in that it disconnects the power of all that is, to something that exists outside of us, where our worldview (and in keeping, our language itself) shows connection in all that is Ntr, and how we are transformations. This is a very empowering and necessary discussion!

BlackOutstanding Presentation from sbA Bonotchi! The Kmtyw concepts that were presented here is food for your mind. This is a presentation that I have listened to multiple times and it has not gotten old yet! “god” does not equal NTCHR. Among many things in this presentation, sbA Bonotchi masterfully breaks down why “god” is too small of a concept for what The NTCHR is. Dwaw

Baba Bonotchi offers a compelling exploration on the concept of Ntcr (Netcher, Neter, Ntr), what some refer to as divinity in English, but may be more accurately thought of as the “the all” or the totality of actuality and possibility. His analysis emphasizes an inescapable truth, that to truly understand the culture of ancient Kmt, we must study the language (Mdw Ntchr) as a medium to understand the ideas of the culture. He maintains that concepts of “God” or “gods/goddesses” as derived from other cultures are insufficient to fully conceptualize the Kemetic paradigm of Ntchr, and that these concepts, if approached from a forthright engagement with the texts of Kmt reveal a degree of philosophical complexity that offers profound insights in the culture of the ancient Nile Valley (Hapy Itrw).
