And likewise, I'm not going to debate a ten year old history either, you've seen my posts on the subject matter, they are all over the place, here, there and everywhere, and I've read yours. And that question you asked, I've answered that as well, you've seen those posts, we've had exchanges on the issues.
Much respect for staying with Ethiopia, and I look forward to the information promised. In the mean time, Alkebu-lan works for me until some one successfully challenges Dr. Ben's use of the term, in scholarly format.
Let me be sure of this first, are you disputing that Dr. Ben was the first, or one of the first to use Alkebu-lan?
He is the first Black man that I know of who used the term, in writing, in Black Man of the Nile.
And my point is, before that, he also used the word Ta Meri or Ta Merry.
Brother Keita and others have explained how as a 360 degree mason Dr Ben did not always put in writing what he shared privately or with others in his lectures. That is why I make reference to what I was taught my him in small group setting when he met with some of us students at the Aquarian center, and he was the first who taught me openly concerning the word Ta Meri. At the time he used to joke about being an Ethiopian Jew, an that is how he identified. As a Ta Merrian, which is to say a Black man of the Nile, of Ethiopian/Nubian ancestry.
