House of Meroe returns with a powerful discussion examining 10 of the most damaging programs imposed on primordial people throughout history. This episode explores how political systems, social engineering, economic control, cultural erasure, and psychological conditioning have shaped — and in many cases harmed — ancient and indigenous populations over time.Drawing from historical analysis, cultural critique, and lived experience, the conversation challenges mainstream narratives and encourages listeners to question how modern systems continue to impact identity, sovereignty, and self-determination today.Originally aired on BlogTalkRadio, this episode is preserved here for education, reflection, and open discussion.Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below...SPONSORED BY https://www.instagram.com/supremeoftheuk/?hl=enORDER https://www.thehatman.com/product-category/clothing/supreme-of-the-uk/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacevzCe-rFKZU3iPH0qYqxU7f__v0yznTpLkO6k9u-gHIxI4oQ9JfyhlttATQ_aem_NJT_3YtGSSu7wm6TraEYJghttps://www.instagram.com/cfr_news/https://rumble.com/user/CFRNetworkhttps://x.com/CFRNetwork_https://twitter.com/CFRNetwork__
En este episodio viajamos al corazón del Reino de Kush, una civilización africana que brilló a orillas del Nilo cuando el poder de los faraones egipcios ya se desvanecía. Allí, entre desiertos y templos, se levantó Nubia, un reino gobernado por mujeres extraordinarias: las kandakes, reinas guerreras que desafiaron imperios y fueron veneradas como diosas. Una de ellas, Amanishakheto, fue enterrada en una majestuosa pirámide en Meroe, rodeada de joyas y símbolos sagrados destinados a acompañarla en su viaje al más allá. Siglos después, en 1834, el médico y aventurero italiano Giuseppe Ferlini llegó a esas tierras en busca de fortuna. Movido por la ambición, destruyó varias pirámides hasta hallar, en la pirámide N6, un vaso de bronce repleto de oro y joyas. Había encontrado el tesoro de una reina… pero también había borrado para siempre parte de la historia de África. En este episodio descubrirás: 🔹 Cómo era el mundo funerario nubio, donde las capillas, los pilonos y las cámaras subterráneas eran puertas simbólicas al más allá. 🔹 Por qué las pirámides de Meroe, más de doscientas en total, son tan distintas de las egipcias y qué secretos esconden sus relieves. 🔹 Quién fue realmente Amanishakheto, la reina que desafió al Imperio Romano y cuyo legado aún brilla en los templos de Naga y Meroe. 🔹 Y cómo el saqueo de Ferlini cambió para siempre la forma en que Occidente miró al continente africano. Este viaje es una historia de esplendor, ambición y redescubrimiento: un encuentro entre la arqueología, la memoria y la inmortalidad. 🎙️ Escucha, imagina y viaja con nosotros al tiempo en que las reinas de Nubia reinaban sobre el desierto.

We travel back to the ancient world to spotlight Queen Amanirenas of the Kushite Empire. Known as one of the most powerful Kandake (queen mothers) of Kush, Amanirenas led her people in defiance of Rome after the conquest of Egypt. From fierce battles and guerrilla tactics to symbolic acts, her story reveals how Kush resisted Rome's expansion and secured a peace treaty on their own terms. We also explore the rich history of the Kushite civilisation, where women held rare political and military power, and Meroe thrived as a hub of trade, culture, and iron production.

Los viajeros Enric Moreno y Maite Galindo nos llevan hasta Myanmar, Libia, Copán o Meroe. Todos ellos lugares con la arqueología como atractivo principal. Además, repasamos los grandes descubrimientos de la historia, como el Valle de los Reyes, la tumba de Tutankamón o la ciudad de Pompeya arrasada por el Vesubio.
Have you ever noticed that pyramids are scattered all over the globe? They are found in places like Egypt, Mexico, and beyond. The reasons behind their construction vary, but there are some common threads. In ancient Egypt, pyramids served as tombs for pharaohs, symbolizing their power and authority. In Central and South America, cultures like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca built pyramids for religious and ceremonial purposes, often within temple complexes dedicated to their deities. In other regions like China and Indonesia, pyramids were constructed as tombs for rulers or religious structures, reflecting similar cultural and spiritual themes.

La Voce di oggi è quella di un mineralogista e viaggiatore francese: Frédéric Cailliaud (1787-1869). Agente del Console Generale di Francia Bernardino Drovetti per il quale raccolse antichità, ma non solo. Cailliaud fu protagonista di molte fra avventure e scoperte. A lui si deve il resoconto di un viaggio alla ricerca di un'antica miniera di smeraldi nel deserto orientale (per conto del Viceré Mohamed Ali Pascià) e un viaggio verso la Nubia che culminò nella straordinaria scoperta della leggendaria città di Meroe (capitale del regno di Kush per molti secoli). Un uomo che cercava smeraldi e diamanti, ma che invece trovò rovine e piramidi. Bibliografia: F.

Wybraliśmy się do jednego z największych państw w Afryce, bardzo rzadko odwiedzanego przez turystów. Byliśmy w Meroe, antycznym mieście w środku pustyni, z około 100 piramidami pozostałymi po potężnym królestwie Kusz. Na naszej trasie znalazły się też starożytne miasta: Kerma i Soleb, a także stolica kraju – Chartum, Omdurman z grobem Mahdiego, Port Sudan, słynny niegdyś port Suakim i Karima. Przypomnieliśmy polskie wykopaliska w Starej Dongoli. Byliśmy w kopalni złota, podziwialiśmy skamieniałe drzewa i uczestniczyliśmy w niezwykłym rytuale sufi. Spotkaliśmy nawet rzadkiego białego wielbłąda. Gościem Jerzego Jopa był Mirosław Lubarski, doradca zarządu w Grupie Polskie Składy Budowlane Handel, a opowiadaliśmy o Sudanie sprzed wojny domowej, która wybuchła 15 kwietnia tego roku.
Roxane Bicker und Arnulf Schlüter werfen in dieser Folge einen Blick über die südliche Grenze Ägyptens hinaus, ins Reich von Meroe und stellen die Königin Amanishakheto vor, die mit ihrem Goldschatz und einer Stele im Münchner Museum vertreten ist. Dabei gehen sie auch der spannenden Entdeckungsgeschichte des Schatzes nach und diskutieren, ob ein Museum lieber Repliken als Originale ausstellen sollte.

Some of the most impressive buildings and cities ever made by humans can be found in Africa: the ruined city of Great Zimbabwe, Mapungubwe in South Africa, Kenya's Gedi Ruins, and Meroe in Sudan. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring of these is the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt. It should come as no surprise. As far back as 3.3 million years ago, the first stone tool was made in what is now Kenya, a region in Africa with a rich archaeological heritage. Its cultural diversity and complexity are well known; it contains some of the world's oldest art pieces. It is also the birthplace of modern humans' ancient ancestors, Homo sapiens. In spite of all this evidence, some claim that no one from Africa (or anywhere in the developing world today) could have created and constructed the Giza pyramids. However, they think ancient astronauts, extraterrestrials, or time travelers were the real builders. What's the big deal?, you may ask. Who cares if relatively few people don't believe the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids? What's the harm? First, these people travel the world to prove their theories and desecrate ancient artifacts. Additionally, they perpetuate the racist notion that only white people - Europeans - are capable of such feats. In 2014, two German pseudo-scientists set out to "prove" that academics hid the "real" origin of the Giza pyramids. To do so, they cut off a chunk of one of the pyramids without authorization, in order to conduct an analysis. In early 2017, scientists from the South American World Congress on Mummy Studies posted a message to their Facebook page to draw attention to the raiding of Nazca graves for the Alien project, a supposed pseudo-scientific research program. The book insists aliens, not ancient Peruvians, are behind the Nazca Lines, despite all the evidence to the contrary. These incidents illustrate threats to developing nations' cultural heritage. Conservation authorities worldwide must spend a great deal of money protecting and restoring unique heritage pieces and guard them against vandalism. For instance, the most recent overhaul planned for the Giza site – back in 2008 – was estimated at a cost of USD$45 million. These are not wealthy nations, as a rule, and it costs money they often don't have to repair the damage done by, among others, pseudo-scientists.

Nos acercamos con tres legiones del mayor ejército del mundo antiguo hasta el limes sur, el límite meridional del recién nombrado Imperio Romano con Augusto a la cabeza. Y nunca mejor dicho, porque la historia de hoy tendrá precisamente a una cabeza de Augusto, un busto del primer Emperador, como hilo conductor del conflicto entre romanos y nubios en el curso alto del Río Nilo. Descubriremos las claves de este choque, protagonizado también por una reina al frente de las tropas de Meroe, y analizaremos el uso de la propaganda en las guerras ya desde la más lejana antigüedad.

History is often shrouded in mystery but this one is a doozy! After sifting through dozens of false articles I finally found the truth about the warrior queens of Kush. They were fearless warrior queens with a knack for diplomacy and negotiations. In a time when women in Rome were being treated as second-class citizens, the women of Kush were living in a matriarchal society. But how did things get so discombobulated? Why don't we know about the successive rule of females I'll tell you how a 12th-century fanfic about Alexander the great and an extremely racist archaeologists change how the world saw the Kush kingdom and its queens. https://www.instagram.com/ (Instagram) https://www.patreon.com/fortheloveofhistorypodcast?fan_landing=true (Patreon) https://linktr.ee/fortheloveofhistory (Link Tree) Email: fortheloveofhistory2020@gmail.com https://www.fortheloveofhistorypodcast.com/home (www.fortheloveofhistorypodcast.com) Further Reading https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/kingdoms-kush/#:~:text=The%20Kingdom%20of%20Kush%20is%20often%20noted%20for%20its%20powerful,and%20the%20Roman%20Emperor%20Augustus (The Kingdoms of Kush) https://www.jstor.org/stable/40000552 (Queenship in Kush: Status, Role and Ideology of Royal Women) https://www.worldhistory.org/The_Candaces_of_Meroe/#:~:text=A%20%E2%80%9CCandace%2C%20queen%20of%20the,confused%20with%20a%20personal%20name.

When King Karam of Zazzau, a Hausa city-state in what would become Nigeria, died in 1576, he successor has already been waiting to take the throne for 28 years. After being schooled in political and military matters and proving themselves a skilled warrior, they had been named ‘Magajiya' or heir apparent at age 16. King Kurama's favorite grandchild would eventually become Queen Aminatu. My name… History and folklore have a tendency to intertwine. This can happen especially when the history has been systematically eradicated. You'll hear me mention or notice on your own a lot of gaps and uncertainty in today's stories. The history of Africa is the least well-known or widespread of any continents. The cause for this is as sad as it is obvious. Europeans in Africa saw no great libraries or troves of history books, so they assumed the peoples of Africa had kept no history. In fact, their histories were kept orally, a system that worked out fine until some whitey, the blue-eyed devil, paddy-o, fay gray boy, honkey melon-farmers showed up and started kidnapping and killing people en masse. Victims of the Atlantic slave trade would be intentionally removed from their families and neighbords and mixed together with people from other communities. This meant a lack of common language, which was meant to stymie unrest and uprisings on New World plantations. It also meant that those who knew their history had no one else of their nation to pass it on to, as well as all the gaps created in the collective knowledge back home. But let's start well before Columbus “discovered” an island with half a million people living on it. In the 12th century, life was nice for the Yoruba people in what is modern Nigeria, ruled by the beautiful and benevolent Queen Moremi Ajasoro, wife of Oranmiyan, the King of Ife-Ife, and mother to Oluorogbo. But there was one small problem, and it's a big one. Their neighbors, the Igbo, literally Forest People, had a persistent habit of raiding their villages to loot, pillage, and kidnap people into slavery, either for their own use or to sell. This is *not the same as the Igbo ethnic group, and if my friend Phoenix is listening, did I say it right this time? The raiders were not only terrifying for their violence, but also their strange, alien-like appearance. So otherwordly were the Igbo that the Ife people thought they'd been sent by the gods as punishment. The Ifes offered sacrifices to the gods, but all for naught. The raids continued and the land was thrown into a state of panic. Not one to sit idly by while her people suffered, Moremi hatched a plan, but she was going to need help and a lot of it. She would allow herself to be taken prisoner by the Igbo so she could learn about them. But before she put herself in such a precarious position, Moremi went to the river Esimirin and begged the goddess who lived there to help her save her people. As the story goes, the river goddess said that she *would help, but only if Moremi would sacrifice that which was most precious and valuable to her. Moremi was a queen, to wit, rollin' in dough, so she didn't hesitate to agree. Whatever the river goddess wanted, surely she could spare it, and her people needed saving. During the next Igbo raid Moremi allowed herself to be captured. On account of her beauty, she was given to the King of the Igbos as a slave, but it was her keen intellect that allowed her to move up the ranks until she was made the anointed queen. No idea how long that took or how many more raids happened in the meantime. If you want to learn about a group of people, you need to infiltrate them and gain access to what they know. Moremi was not only among the Igbo, she was their queen. As spy-craft goes, that's S-tier work. This was how she learned that the terrifying appearance of the raiders that had tormented her people was battle dress made from raffia palm and other grasses. It made them look monster-y and demoralized their victims with pante-wetting terror, but if you know anything about dry grass and vegetation, you know that those costumes were extremely flammable. The Ife didn't need spears and weapons to protect themselves. All they needed was a bit of the old “How about a little fire, Scarecrow?” She probably picked up tactics and such-like as well, but nobody who's written about her seems bothered to have written that down. Same with her escape from the Igbo and return to Ife-Ife, which I'm sure was harrowing and adventuresome. Either way, she returned to her people and said “You know those supernatural beings who've been pillaging and kidnapping us? Yeah, they're just dudes and it turns out they're also covered in kindling.” During the next Igbo raid, the Ife armed themselves with torches rather than weapons and were finally able to repel the invaders. [sfx cheer] One assumes the Igbo backed off after that. I mean, you didn't see Michael Jackson doing any more Pepsi commercials. [sfx unhappy crowd] “Too soon”? It was 1984. Now that her people were safe, it was time to repay the river goddess for her help, so Moremi assembled a flock of cattle and other livestock, as well as cowrie shells and other valuables, a veritable lifetime's fortune, which she was glad to give up now. But that wasn't what the goddess wanted, not even close. As anyone who's ever heard a fairy tale can probably guess, the goddess wanted something much more valuable, more precious than all the commodities even a queen had to offer. The river goddess demanded the life of Moremi's only son, Ela Oluorogbo. To go back on her word would be to tempt an even worse fate for the Ife, so Moremi had no choice but to sacrifice Ela Oluorogbo to the river. The Ifes wept to see this and vowed to their queen that they would all be her sons and daughters forever to repay and console her. To this day, the Yoruba people mourn with her and hold her in the highest esteem of any women in the Kingdom. According to sources, anyway. If, like my friend Phoenix, you have family from that region and no better, not only do I not mind being corrected, I appreciate and even enjoy it, because it means I learned something. You can always slide into my DM [soc med]. Queen Moremi is recognised by the Yoruba people because of this bravery and celebrated with the Edi Festival as well as with a 42ft/13m statue, popularly known as the "Queen Moremi Statue of Liberty," which is the tallest statue in Nigeria, and the fourth tallest in Africa. [segue] While the word “Nubian” is used broadly by many and incorrectly by most of those to refer to all things African or African-American, it refers to a specific region and its people. In what is today Sudan, south of Egypt along the Nile, was the kingdom of Kush. I'll wait while the stoners giggle. By the way, if you work in the cannabis or CBD industry, I'd love to talk to you about doing voiceovers for your business. My NPR voice, as we call it around the house, is just dripping with credibility. The Kushites' northern neighbors, the Egyptians, referred to Nubia as, “Ta-Seti” which means the “Land of Bows,” in honor of the Nubian hunters' and warriors' prowess as archers. Archery was not limited to men, an egalitarianism that gave rise to a number of women Nubian warriors and queens, the most famous of whom was Queen Amanirenas of Nubia, conqueror of the Romans. Since 1071 BC, the peoples of East Africa had established a small realm along the Nile River valley south of Egypt known as the Kingdom of Kush. Prior to their autonomy, the peoples of this region had been living under foreign occupation since around 1550 BC when they were absorbed by the Egyptian New Kingdom. It was during that period that they adopted many aspects of Egyptian culture. It was only during the catastrophic Bronze Age collapse that the Kushites were able to reassert their independence. By 754 BC, the Kushites actually managed to conquer their former overlords in the campaigns of King Piye and ruled them as the Pharaoh of the “Twenty-Fifth Dynasty.” they were eventually pushed out of Egypt by the Assyrians by 674 BC, but still maintained independent rule over the region of Nubia. For many centuries, this small autonomous kingdom had successfully coexisted alongside neighboring foreign dynasties that had been occupying the provincial territories of Egypt, such as the Achaemenid Persians and the Greeks of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. It was at the end of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, after the death of Cleopatra VII, the one we think of as Cleoptra, that things started to get a little hinky. When the Roman Empire rose in prominence and annexed the territories of the House of Ptolemy by 30 BC, the Prefect, or appointed provincial governor for Egypt, Cornelius Gallus, attempted to make further incursions into the territories south of Egypt and impose taxation on the Kushites. The Kushites said, collectively and officially, yeah, no. They launched counter-attack raids against Roman settlements in southern Egypt in 27 BC The armies were led by the ruling Kushite monarchs at the time King Teriteqas and Queen (or Candace, meaning great woman) Amanirenas. They began the campaign by launching [more] successful raids on Roman settlements Shortly after the war began, King Teriteqas was killed in battle, and was succeeded by his son Prince Akinidad, but Amanirenas was really in charge as queen regent. In 24 BC, the Kushites launched another round of invasions into Roman Egypt after the new Prefect of Egypt Aelius Gallus was ordered by Emperor Augustus to launch an expedition into the province of Arabia Felix (now part of modern-day Yemen) against the Arabic Kingdom of Saba. According to Strabo, the Kushites “sacked Aswan with an army of 30,000 men and destroyed imperial statues at the city of Philae.” The Greek historian Strabo refers to Amanirenas as the “fierce one-eyed queen Candace.” Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that? Sorry, buried the lede there. Amanirenas didn't lead her soldiers from the throne room, war room, or even a tent camp well behind the lines. She was in the vanguard, properly leading as leaders these days can't be asked to. Maybe if we required all the kings, presidents, prime ministers, dictators and their generals fight on the front lines with their sole heir beside them, things would be a little more chill up in this bish. Amanirenas lost her eye to a nameless Roman soldier and I'm ready and willing to assume she immediately slew him in a single epic, slow-motion swing of her short-sword. The Kushites had also met and engaged a Roman detachment outside the city of Syene. The battle was another astounding victory for the Kushites, but these successes would be short-lived That same year, in a battle at Dakka, Prince Akinidad fell, just as his father had, and the Kushites fell back, but took with them all of the riches and slaves they had acquired. The expedition of Aelius Gallus proved disastrous, as the movement of the army depended on a guide named Syllaeus, who deliberately misdirected them, costing them months of marching. When they finally reached the capital city of Ma'rib, Sabean, Gallus' siege lasted only a week before he was forced to withdraw due to a combination of disease, the harsh desert climate, and the over-extension of supply lines. That's basically the trifecta of reasons behind a larger army's retreat. The Roman navy did better, occupying and then destroying the port of Eudaemon, thus securing the naval merchant trade route to India through the Red Sea, which was no small yams. Having failed utterly at bringing the Kushite's to heel, Gallus lost his Prefect job to Publius Petronius, who then took his legions and marched directly into Kushite territory, looting and pillaging villages and towns before finally reaching the capital of Napata in 23 BC. The Kushites attempted to get their own back with a siege of Primis, but Petronius broke through. It was at this point that the Kushites sued for peace. You might be thinking that Rome had Kush on the back foot and this was a desperate surrender to save their skins. Well you can put that out of your mind right now. The Kushites *did send negotiators to Augustus in 21 BC and a peace treaty *was negotiated, but it was remarkably very favorable to the Kushites. Rome would pull its soldiers from the southern region called the Thirty-Mile Strip, including the city of Primis, and the Kushites were exempt from paying tribute. More importantly, they had managed to secure their autonomy and remain free from Roman occupation. When have you ever heard of Rome, or any conquering army, giving terms like that? That leads historians and armchair historians alike, myself included, to conclude that Rome was shaking in their sandals at the prospect of having to continue to fight Amanirena and her warriors on their home turf. It was worth giving up whole cities and forgoing tribute to stop being beaten by them. Although the Kushites had managed to retain their independence, Rome's monopoly on Mediterranean trade plus their newly established trade route to India, greatly diminished Kush's economic influence during the 1st and 2nd century CE. The rising Kingdom of Axum in Ethiopia managed to push the Kushites out of the Red Sea trade which led to even further decline that resulted in the Axumites invading the kingdom and sacking Meroë around 350 AD and that was pretty much that for the kingdom of Kush. But I've saved my favorite part of Amanirenas' story for last: the souvenir. When Kush troops moved through an area that had already been conquered by Rome, the warriors would destroy anything Roman that they found, chiefly buildings and statues. With Augustus being emperor, there were a lot of statues of him about and the Kushites said “get rekt, son” to every last one of them. The head of one bronze statue was taken back to Meroe, where it was discovered during an archeological dig in 1912, positioned directly below the feet of a Kushite monarch on a wall mural. Apart from the sick burn, the head was also significant for being the only head of a statue of Augustus ever found that still had the bright white inlays for the eyes, so when you look at it, link in the show notes, Augustus looks like he's permanently, perpetually surprised to have been beaten by a widowed queen with one eye. MIDROLL While I'd happily humor debate, especially over a pint and a basket of fries, I'll stake my position Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar is the bloodiest queen in world history. People should think of her, not Lady MacBeth or Elizabeth Bathory, when they need an icon for ‘woman with blood on her hands.' From the start of her reign, she tortured and killed her rivals and presided over the untold suffering of her own people. In those 33 years, while also successfully repelling European attempts to dominate the country, her orders reduced the population of Madagascar by half, or *more. Born with a commoner with the name Rabodoandrianampoinimerina in 1778, Princess Ranavalona found upward mobility quickly when her father helped foil an assassination plot being assembled by the king's uncle. As a reward, King Andrianampoinimerina (y'all should see these names) betrothed Ranavalona to his son and heir Prince Ra and declared that any child from this union would be first in the line of succession after Radama. Talk about a glow-up. Ranavalona wasn't the only wife, nor was she the favorite, though at least she was the first, and it probably didn't help their relationship when Radama became king and immediately executed all potential rivals, as was the custom, which included some of Ranavalona's relatives. When Radama died in 1828, possibly of syphilis, possibly of poison, having not managed to get one child from his dozen wives, according to local custom, the rightful heir was Rakotobe, the eldest son of Radama's eldest sister. Rakatobe was considered to be intelligent, as he was the first people to have studied at the first school established by the London mission, which also made him sympathetic to the ambitions and efforts of the European missionaries and businessmen who sought to establish themselves on the island. R was still a threat, though, as any child she bore would be the heir before Rakatobe, so she had to go. The military supported R and helped to secure her place on the throne. Rakatobe, his family, and supporters were put to death, the men with spears and the women starved in prison. R then ceremonially bathed in the blood of a ceremonial bull. For anyone who wants a sense of how the rest of this story is going to go, that sets the tone pretty accurately. At her coronation, she gave a warning to those who would seek to undermine her authority. “Never say ‘she is only a feeble and ignorant woman, how can she rule such a vast empire?' I will rule here to the good fortune of my people and the glory of my name, I will worship no gods, but those of my ancestors, the ocean shall be the boundary of my realm, and I will not cede the thickness of one hair of my realm.” So Rana woke up this morning and chose violence, huh? The late king had attempted to modernize the military by building modern forts and cribbing Napoleonic tactics. To achieve this, he'd signed treaties with the British and French for supplies and arms, as well as allowing Christian missions to be built. In turn, the European powers sought to establish dominance over the nation, which is information I will find under W for ‘Who could ever have foreseen that comma sarcastic.' From the very beginning of her reign, Rona walked that back,ending treaties with the British and restricting the activities of the missions, just little stuff like banning the teaching of Christianity in the missionary schools. Three years into her reign, King Charles the 10th of France ordered the invasion of Madagascar, but the malaria and political strife back home forced them to pack it in, a big check in Rana's win column. But just for good measure, she ordered the heads of the dead French soldiers to be placed on spikes along the beaches. The Queen soon turned her attention to her Christian subjects and a few European missionaries and traders who remained. If you were caught practicing Christianity. you could expect to be beaten and hundreds were arrested. Once imprisoned, they face torture and starvation, which beats being hung from a cliff and left to die of exposure in the tropical heat. Whatever horrific fate they chose for you, your family had to watch. Rana was not a nice lady, I really can't stress that enough. Though there were some Christians who kept themselves to themselves and managed to outlive her. If you were up on charges of treason, you'd face an ordeal by food. You'd be forced to eat three servings of chicken skin and a poisonous nute from the tangena tree. If you threw up all of the chicken, and just the chicken, you were free to go. But it you didn't vomit up all three pieces, you'd be executed, or probably dead from the poison, six of one. For every other crime, you'll be treated to a nice boiling, either water or oil, depending on the day, or, and here's a phrase, incremental dismemberment. Queen Rana, I should mention, also did away with trial by jury, because that was a European thing. Whilst the Queen was fiercely anti European,she was very much aware of her need to modernize. Madagascar needed industry of its own. In 1831, a French industrialist and adventurer named Jean Laborde presented himself to the queen after he found himself shipwrecked on Madagascar. Labardi was soon made the chief engineer to the court, and possibly father of Rana's son Rakoto, charged with building a giant factory to turn out cannons, weapons, soap, ceramics and cement, with the “help” of 20,000 enslaved laborers. Her military was paid by the kingdom, but not well, but they had a benefit to offset that – official permission to pillage, loot, and extract any value from her subjects. In 1845, new laws meant that all foreigners on the island would be forced to take part in the public work, many were able to leave Madagascar to avoid such servitude, but the people who lived there weren't so lucky. These works were usually performed by slaves or by those who hadn't paid their taxes and would find themselves in bondage for the remainder of their lives. That may not be too long, when you consider how many people they literally worked to death, tens of thousands. Per year. To make sure there would always be enough expendable labor in Madagascar, Queen Rana abolished the export of enslaved people. Importing them, still A-ok. The public works were bad enough, but the enslaved could never have imagined the horror that would come with the 1845 buffalo hunt. Have you ever heard of the extravagant boar or deer hunting expeditions/parties of ye olde times and thought they sounded completely extra and nuts? They look like a carpool to the grocery store in comparison. The Queen ordered the royal court to embark on a buffalo hunt through the malaria infested swamps and jungles. In order to allow the royal party to travel more comfortably, some 20,000 forced laborers were sent into the jungles to build a road. Not a road to one place or between two places, a road that existed solely for this trip. An estimated 10,000 enslaved men, women and children died due to disease and the harsh conditions. Mosquitos and bacteria have no care for rank and many of their 50,000 strong hunting party would die in the jungles. I mean, it was still *mainly servants and slaves dying. who died by the end of the hunting trip. And how many innocent buffalo got wiped out in this boondogle debacle? [sfx paper rustling] Let me check. In round figures, zero. [in different languages] 1000s died on a buffalo hunt that killed no buffalo, all because the Queen wanted to go on a buffalo hunt. It is not surprising that many within the Queen's Own court were eager to dispose of her, but the closest anyone got was when her Son Rakoto gave French businessman Joseph-François Lambert exclusive rights to the lumber, minerals, lumber and unused land on the 4th largest island in the world. All Lambert had to do on his end was get rid of the Queen and make room for Prince Rakoto to become King Radama II. Lambert attempted to obtain support from the French and British governments, to no avail. In 1855, the Prince wrote in secret to Napoleon III of France, but Boni III left him on read. It was not until 1857 that the coup was actually attempted and you might surmise by my use of the word “attempted” that it did not work. Queen Rana responded by expelling all Europeans from Madagascar and seizing all of their assets. With their oppressors gone, the enslaved worked in the factories burned those mothers down. The prince faced no consequences and his actions were downplayed, as though he had been led astray by smooth-talking Europeans eager to exploit their country. Speaking of no consequences, Queen Ranavalona I died peacefully in her sleep at the impressive-even-today age of 83. While she was one of the few African rulers to keep Europe at bay, but more than half million suffered and died during her 33 year rule. Per her orders, the country entered into the official mourning period. The bloodiest queen in history was dead, but she wasn't off-brand. 12,000 zebu cattle were slaughtered, though the meat was distributed to the people; and during the burial, a stray spark ignited a barrel of gunpowder destined for use in the ceremony, which caused an explosion and fire that destroyed many of the surrounding buildings and killed many people. And that's… The Hausa Queen Amina reigned spectacularly for 34 years, winning wars, enlarging her territory, introducing kola nut cultivation and metal armor, and making sure her traders had safe passage throughout the Sahara region. Today, she is remembered not only for her bravery, but also for building fortification walls called “ganuwar Amina” around her cities. Remember…Thanks..

In Acts 8, the first persecution broke out against the church, and many believers were driven from Jerusalem. Acts 8:4 Philip went down to Samaria and told people about Jesus. Peter and John heard about the great response and went to Samaria to confirm the message. Acts 8:25 Philip stayed in Samaria. Great things were happening. People were coming to Jesus. Acts 8:26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. Acts 8:27 Ethiopia is not modern-day Ethiopia but a region in southern Egypt down into Sudan, the ancient kingdom of Meroe, the Old Testament Kingdom of Cush. Acts 8:29-35 Philip runs into the Eunuch in the chariot, reading aloud Isaiah 53:7-8. And Philip—the guy who loves to talk about Jesus—asks—Do you understand what you are reading? Philip is not going to miss this golden opportunity. All Scripture is Christological. It all points to Jesus. In Acts 8, we have the stories of three men—Philip, Ethiopian, Simon (from last time). Each of these men was in different stages of their spiritual journey. So let's review these guys. Which one most represents you in your spiritual journey? In Acts 8:9-24, we considered Simon the Sorcerer or Simon, the Magician—who was well known in Samaria and well respected. Would you agree, whether Simon is a believer or isn't—Simon leaves us confused about his spiritual state. SIMON—CONFUSING ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH—SEEKER We have no spiritual background on this guy. Somewhere at some time, someone told him about Yahweh. God opened his heart. That's the only way a person starts searching—God opens their heart. PHILIP—ON FIRE In Acts 6:3, Philip was one of the seven chosen. A true servant. Full of the Spirit and wisdom. No one was confused about where he stood with Jesus.

Photo: 1818 Pinkerton Map of Abyssinia (Ethiopia), Sudan, Nubia This fascinating hand colored 1818 map by Edinburgh cartographer John Pinkerton depicts Abyssinia, Sudan and Nubia. Covers from the Great Desert of Selima south to Donga and west through the “Dominons of a Princes called Ibbe”, Caffa (a Christian State), Bali and the Gulf of Aden. Covers the modern day regions of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and southern Egypt (Nubia). The whole offers beautiful and fascinating notations such as “The Supposed Ancient Island of Meroe”, inexplicable comments such as “Here the Portuguese found King David Encamped in the year 1520”, caravan routes and desert oases, and religious comments. Also includes details of the politically and socially volatile regions of Darfur (Darfour) and Kordofan in modern day Sudan. Possibly the finest map of the Abyssinia to appear in the 19th century. The map comes from the scarce American edition of Pinkerton's Modern Atlas, published by Dobson & Co. of Philadelphia in 1818.. .. ..

How France is helping Sudan unearth its ancient kingdoms; the changing face of philanthropy in France; and Sophie la girafe, the iconic rubber teething companion, turns 60. For more than 50 years now, French archaeologists have been working with the Sudanese antiquities division to help excavate and preserve remarkable sites like the city of Meroe: the capital of one of the earliest and most developed states on the African continent. As in ancient Egypt, the Merotic kings and queens were buried in pyramids and more than 200 of them remain, some in ruins. Laura Angela Bagnetto recently visited the pyramids and met the head of the French section Marc Maillot. He talks about the latest fascinating dig in Meroe and France's role in helping keep Sudanese patrimony alive. (Listen @2'59'') When Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris went up in flames in 2019, more than €800 million in donations were pledged in just a few days; hundreds of millions from a handful of super-rich French magnates. Unlike the US, France is unaccustomed to such obvious displays of personal wealth and many people were surprised, even shocked. Anne Monier, researcher at the ESSEC Philanthropy Chair, talks about how philanthropy is indeed developing in France but in a different way from the US. Americans meanwhile are providing considerable donations to France in return for 'social capital' which for the happy few can mean a Legion of Honour. (Listen @17'43'') The first 'Sophie la girafe' rubber toy came out of the mould on 25 May 1961. 60 years later, she continues to be made the same artisanal way, and is coveted in France and abroad.

The Ancient Nubian kingdom of Meroe had existed before Aksum's foundation as a city, and was the preeminent power in East Africa for most of its existence. But, by the year 360, the tables had turned. Nubia was a kingdom in decline, while Aksum was the hot new hegemon in the region. After dealing with many internal struggles within the Aksumite Empire, King Ezana has set his eyes on ending the ancient kingdom to his North.To learn more and view images from the episode, visit our blog at https://historyofafricapodcast.blogspot.comSupport the show (https://patreon.com/historyofafrica)

The city of Meroe is cited by many ancient writers (Herodotus among them) as an almost fabled city of wealth and mystery, and scholars credit Ergamenes for establishing the culture which fostered such prosperity and lay the groundwork for later Meroitic kings and queens to build upon.
The emasculated Cushite Treasurer of the Kandaka of Meroe knew what it was to be prevented access to God and the assembly of his people. But one day, he heard a message that changed everything...
In order to understand the current sociopolitical conditions and deep Africana radical cultural influences moving in Sudan today, the long historical genealogy, the evolutions in physical geography, and the migration and interaction patterns of various communities of African peoples of the region must be explored. Despite the growth and retractions of the region, one of these descriptors that has lasted the evolution of time and space is Nubia. Throughout history Nubia and its component geographical part had a number of other references. Among one of the earliest is Ta-Setiu or the ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) reference to the area as being the “land of the bowpeople”. Another ancient Egyptian reference is to Ta-Nehesi which reflects the name of an ethic group of Nubia. The Greek invasions applied the term Dodekashoenos to the describe lower Nubia. Arab invasions used Butn al-Hajr (roughly translated as the Belly of Stones) for the section of the Nile from the second Cataract. Kush is another descriptor that was used to give reference to ancient Nubia. As used, Nubia is associated with an ancient word used for gold…the region often referred to as the ‘land of gold'. Imperial and linguistic efforts to control and redefine the peoples and regions by the Greeks, referred to Nubia as Ethiopia which included at times, parts of Libya. The central reason for this linguistic application was used to reference to the phenotypical identification of the “brunt faces” of the Nubians. Other descriptors, included Meroe. Christian Nubia refers to the three kingdoms of No-ba-tia, Mu-kur-ra, and Al-wa that cover this region, and Nubia was the reference to the region until the end of the 19th century. It was at this time, the name “the Sudan” came into used, from the Arabic expression Bilad as-Sudan, meaning “land of the blacks”. Which was essentially an Arabic translation of the Greek “Ethiopia”. It was further used throughout Muslim literature generally to refer to Africa beyond the Sahara. The continuity of Africana radical tradition follows the trajectories of resistance, internationally. The influences and evolution of Africana radical thought and practices can be seen in Malik el-Shabazz praxis. According to the article X Marks the Spot: Mapping Malcolm X's Encounter with Sudan, though Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X) travels in the middle East and Africa put him in touch with the most revolutionary movements of his time, it was his ongoing contacts with students, scholars, and religious leaders from Sudan that had a truly transformative effect on his beliefs about race and religion. Today, we add to this genealogy and discourse a conversation with Alsarah of the Nubatones. Alsarah is a singer, songwriter, bandleader and a somewhat reluctant ethnomusicologist. Born in Khartoum, Sudan, she relocated to Yemen with her family before abruptly moving to the USA, finally feeling most at home in Brooklyn, NY where she has been residing since 2004. She is a self-proclaimed practitioner of East-African Retro-Pop music. Working on various projects, she has toured both nationally and internationally. Alsarah & the Nubatones were born out of many dinner conversations between alsarah and rami el aasser about nubian ‘songs of return', modern migration patterns and the cultural exchanges between sudan and egypt.

I first learned about Mar when researching a trip to Djibouti several years ago and came across her blog. I emailed her a question or two and she responded back with some advice. Two years later, I shared dinner with her when a group of mutual friends met up in Bangkok at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Charlie Browns. We are regional neighbors as she lives in Singapore and I am in Bangkok. Since university Mar has led a truly global life, living in multiple countries and traveling extensively for work throughout the world. This is quite a big change copated to her fist travel forays which were limited to road trips to nearby Andora to stock up on Nutella with her family. Mar has lived in London, Dubai, and Singapore. She has also practically lived in multiple other cities on long consulting gigs like Nairobi and Manila. This year, Mar made a major change in her life as she officially left corporate life so she can focus exclusively on her online businesses and her travel. Mar touches on the magic of Bhutan and her frustrations with Nigeria, a place she has traveled to often for work. She shares with us how she felt unsafe in Somaliland and her interactions with the locals. She speaks about the isolation she felt in Sudan and the pyramids of Meroe. And talks about a solo, multi-week to the Pacific which made her reevaluate her travel goals. Mar speaks about her travel inspiration Anthony Bourdain and one of her favorite travel blogs, Roads & Kingdoms. Mar is the Chapter Leader of Travel Massive in Singapore.

Naga war der Außenposten des Reiches von Meroe, einer Zivilisation, die von den Ägyptern, Römern und Griechen beeinflusst und doch völlig eigenständig war. Heute wird diese Kultur wiederentdeckt.
Desde hace más de dos mil años en el valle del Nilo más cercano a África se ha producido una curiosa mezcla entre la cultura egipcia y la mediterránea. A la sombra del Egipto faraónico prosperó el mítico reino de Nubia, gobernado por mujeres valerosas que ejercían su poder en una sociedad matriarcal y dirigían su propio ejército. En la actualidad un equipo de arqueólogos dirigido también por una mujer trabaja en Meroe, la antigua capital del reino de Nubia, donde han aparecido una serie de templos y pirámides que igualan en belleza y esplendor a los del Antiguo Egipto. ¿Quién construyó estos soberbios templos? ¿Qué misterios esconden las paredes de las tumbas de estas poderosas reinas negras?
El Arca de la Alianza fue construida con madera rectangular espolvoreada con acacia de oro. En cada extremo se alzaban dos querubines. Las alas de aquellos seres mágicos se tocaban para formar el trono de Dios. En el interior del Arca se guardaban las dos tablas de piedra con los diez mandamientos escritos por el dedo de Dios, maná en un jarrón de oro, la vara florecida de Aarón y un libro de la ley. El Arca de la Alianza simbolizaba la presencia de Dios. Poseía también el carácter de talismán en la batalla, como en la conquista de Jericó. Era muy potente y debía ser envuelta en velos antes que la levantaran. Sólo el sumo sacerdote podía acercarse al Arca misteriosa y resplandeciente, y únicamente una vez al año, en el día de la expiación. Se dice que era tan sagrada el Arca que el sólo tocarla ocasionaba la muerte inmediata. Luego de que los hebreos se establecieron en Canán, el arca permaneció en el tabernáculo en Silio. Luego estuvo en el Templo de Salomón. Y luego desapareció. Hoy es una reliquia religiosa desaparecida, lo que mantiene vivo el interés por su misterio tanto entre estudios de la Biblia como entre arqueólogos que desean hallarla para demostrar definitivamente su existencia histórica. En épocas antiguas, era costumbre entre los seminómadas que vagaban por la creciente fértil, conservar dentro de arcones documentos importantes para la comunidad; ya sean títulos de propiedades o ídolos familiares conocidos como "terafines". Existen referencias, que otros pueblos como los fenicios, arameos, acadios, árabes y egipcios usaban estas arcas con fines domésticos o comunitarios. La originalidad del arca de los hebreos, radicaba en que contenía evidencia de los hechos de redención de Dios. Era un memorial que hacía de archivo sagrado para la conservación de artículos que servían de recordatorio o testimonio, los diez mandamientos. Esto la convertía en un artefacto religioso, ya que era un emblema del culto primitivo; un símbolo de la soberanía y de la presencia divina. Según el libro de Exodo, Moisés mandó construir el Arca por orden expresa de Dios, quien le dio el diseño por revelación divina. Esta fuente, nos habla del Arca como un cofre de madera de acacia de forma rectangular. Estaba revestido con láminas de oro puro por dentro y por fuera, con dos aros a ambos lados. Estos aros servían para su transportación, por medio de preciosos varales labrados, para que ningún hombre pudiera siguiera tocarla. El propiciatorio o plancha superior, funcionaba como tapa para sellar la caja, siendo su pieza principal. Realizada totalmente de oro puro y macizo. Este metal precioso fue usado como símbolo de incorruptibilidad. Tenía además, un artístico borde del mismo material en forma de guirnalda. Sobre la cubierta, Dios mandó que se labraran a martillo la figura de dos querubines. Estos estaban arrodillados con los rostros vueltos hacia la tierra. Sus alas estaban extendidas, una en dirección a la otra. Tal vez su nombre se derive de la misma raíz de inclinarse penitentemente ante la mismísima presencia de Dios,"aquel que nadie puede siquiera verlo y sin embargo seguir viviendo" Exodo 33:20. Los asirios hacían representaciones de criaturas aladas, especialmente de toros o leones. Las encontramos entre los egipcios y también entre los hititas. El trono del rey de Hirán en Biblos estaba soportado por dos criaturas de rostro humano, cuerpo de león y grandes alas. Pero en realidad, nada se sabe del formato de los Querubines tallados en el arca. El historiador Josefo nos dice: "...y tenía dos figuras que los hebreos llamaban Querubines; y que son criaturas aladas, pero en su forma nada parecida a ninguno de los seres contemplados por los hombres, y que Moisés asegura haber visto en el trono de Dios". Después que los judíos regresaron del cautiverio en Babilonia, levantaron un segundo templo bajo el mando del gobernador Zorobabel. Para entonces el Arca ya no estaba. Parte del mobiliario fue repuesto, fueron modelados nuevos candelabros de siete trazos, conocidos como los Menorah. Según el profeta Zacarías simbolizaban "los siete ojos de Dios" Zacarías 4:10. La opinión de Josefo y de Filón, era que representaban los siete días de la creación.Uno de ellos, aparece grabado en la parte superior del Arco de Tito, que conmemora la destrucción de Jerusalén en el año 70 dc. Al pie del Menorah, se puede hacer una observación interesante. Allí se estampan dos figuras híbridas enfrentadas, parecen que son leviatanes o serpientes mitológicas hebreas. Según se pensaba eran mensajeros de Dios, cuya efigie coronaban el Arca de la Alianza. Otra tradición talmúdica, cuenta que se prohibió las representaciones de dicha iconografía por considerarlas idolátricas. Desde los más antiguos documentos del Pentateuco, hasta la extensa literatura judaica de los primeros siglos; siempre se le atribuyó carácter sagrado conmemorativo a las sitios donde Dios se manifestó. Esto se conoce como teofanía. Dichas fuentes nos hablan que, cerca de las colinas de Judá, en un lugar llamado Betel, el patriarca Jacob soñó con una escalera que llegaba a los cielos. Multitudes de ángeles transitaban por ella. Por la mañana, Jacob levantó un altar de piedra como monumento de que allí se le apareció Dios. Según el Midras, el patriarca pintó la piedra con polvo y Dios la hundió tan profundamente en la tierra que llego a ser el ombligo del mundo. El mismo relato cuenta que ésta fue el fundamento del posterior templo de Salomón. Bet-El (en Hebreo: Casa de Dios), ya había sido un santuario cananeo mucho antes de la época patriarcal. Pero esta roca no era una "asera" o símbolo fálico, propio de la actividad ritual a los Baales, sino que, los hebreos consideraron estos sitios como testimonio de la epifanía divina. En Sinaí, luego que Dios le entregara el Decálogo a Moisés, se efectuó "El ritual de la Alianza". Este fue el paso previo a la construcción del Tabernáculo y que los objetos sagrados, entre ellos el Arca. Una vez que la ley fue puesta por escrito y leída, el pueblo replicó al unísono: "Todo lo que Jehová ha hablado estamos dispuestos á hacerlo" Exodo 24:3—8). A partir de allí entra en vigor la Alianza. Ahora su sociedad se manifestaba en ella, esta se mantendría mientras fueran cumplidas todas las estipulaciones divinas. En otras palabras, Israel aceptó el dominio de su Dios- Rey. Acto seguido se levantó un santuario provisional, con un altar central y doce columnas simbólicas, representando cada una de las tribus de Israel. Dicha piedra, cumplía el papel que luego pasó a desempeñar el Arca, ya que sobre ella se derramó la sangre de un sacrificio expiatorio. Cuando el cofre de Dios llegó a construirse, un mes después, la ley fue colocada en sus entrañas. Constituyó un símbolo oficial de su gobernación visible y guardiana del estatuto divino. Jehová no estaba un el Arca, su teofanía se trasladó desde la cumbre del Sinai hasta posarse en forma de nube sobre ella. Una luz celestial brillaba constantemente sobre las imágenes querúbicas penitentes, como si el mismo dios estuviera montado sobre ellos; siendo el escabel de su trono. De día como columna serpenteante de humo y de noche como estela llameante. En vísperas de la II Guerra Mundial, los alemanes emprendieron la búsqueda de Arca. Para ello realizaron diversas expediciones arqueológicas en Oriente Medio. La idea de Hitler, era valerse de ella como un artefacto mágico, un amuleto para obtener poderes paranormales. Lo cierto es que no era un talismán, su sola presencia no garantizaba la obtención de los resultados pretendidos. El siguiente ejemplo del libro bíblico de Josué lo expone. Después que el poder de Dios emanado mediante el arca derribó los muros de Jericó, su próximo objetivo militar fue la ciudad de Hai. Para su sorpresa, ahora sufrieron una aplastante derrota. Con relación a Jericó, Jehová prohibió tomar botín. Sin embargo, un soldado de Israel robó parte del despojo y lo escondió bajo su tienda. Sólo cuando el ladrón fue descubierto y ejecutado, recién ahí, el ejército pudo reducir al próximo emplazamiento. En otra ocasión, el Arca fue capturada por los filisteos durante un enfrentamiento. Este pueblo tenía por costumbre sacar los ídolos al campo de batalla. Por lo tanto el Arca, para ellos, sería algo más que un trofeo, hablamos de una especie de talismán que por el solo hecho de poseerla les daría mágicamente la victoria. Los filisteos la depositaron en el templo de Dagón, divinidad mitad hombre y mitad pez. Cada mañana cuando los sacerdotes entraban al recinto, encontraban al icono del dios caído boca abajo; como inclinado delante de aquel símbolo del trono de Dios. Según Josefo, los secuestradores fueron plagados con todo tipo de pestes y la gente moría de disentería. Tal fue el terror, que decidieron devolverla de inmediato. Según la ley mosaica, sólo el Sumo Sacerdote podía mirar el Arca, y solamente levitas designados podían transportarla. Cuando los israelitas fueron a recuperarla esto no se tuvo en cuenta. Fue entonces, que la incontemplable Arca de Dios, emitiendo un tremendo poder sobrenatural, fulminó un buen número de ellos. El poder que emanaba de ella no provenía de esotéricas fuerzas sino de Dios y este sólo actuaba a favor de los que obedecían su ley. La historia bíblica nos relata que luego de estos acontecimientos, reposó en el Templo de Salomón hasta su posterior desaparición. El destino del Arca de la Alianza, representa uno de los grandes misterios de la historia y la arqueología. Nadie sabe cuándo, ni en qué circunstancias desapareció. La ultima referencia que dan las fuentes bíblicas nos llevan al año 642 aC., durante el reinado de Josías de Judá. Ni en los anales testamentarios, ni en los registros de Nabucodonosor II, existe mención alguna que haya sido llevada a Babilonia después de la destrucción de Jerusalén. Tampoco que haya sido traída del exilio y colocada en el segundo templo o reemplazada por otra. Por mucho tiempo se pensó que el faraón Sisaq (conocido en los textos egipcios como Sesonq I y fundador de la dinastía libia era una posible respuesta. En el año 8 ac. invadió Judá con una poderosa fuerza militar, capturó varias ciudades fortificadas y luego dirigió su atención hacia Jerusalén. Crónicas 12:1-12, dice que Egipto desposó a la ciudad santa de sus tesoros, lo que supone que Sisaq profanó el Templo. Esto ha llevado a los investigadores a pensar que el Arca fue trasladada a lo que fue la antigua Libia, donde actualmente se encontraría sepultada. Pero dicha suposición desconoce un elemento fundamental, que existe una mención de ella trescientos años después en Cro 34:8-35:19. La posibilidad que actualmente se está considerando, es que esté enterrada bajo el monte Moría. Lamentablemente las excavaciones en el lugar son prácticamente imposibles, debido a que allí se levanta un lugar sagrado para los musulmanes, la cúpula de la Roca y la Mezquita de Al-Aqsa, construida a principios del siglo VII dc. Otro lugar donde se dice que es posible que esté el Arca es en Etiopía. En la antigüedad funcionaba el gran reino de Meroe. La línea real sólo era por vía materna y data del siglo VIl aC., pero según la leyenda, el fundador de esa dinastía fue el mítico hijo de Salomón y la reina de Saba. De ahí que la fe de muchos atestigüe que Etiopía es el actual depositario del cofre sagrado, aunque sus antiguos habitantes no adoraban a Yahvé, sino a Amon e Isis. Pero más allá de estas especulaciones, una cosa es cierta, el Arca sigue perdida y las causas todavía son un misterio. Pero dejando de lado el punto de vista de la ciencia, vamos a tratar de develar otro de los enigmas que la cubren; aquellos que sólo pueden ser vistos a la luz de la simbología. La totalidad de sus partes, contenían una altísima densidad simbólica. Sombra del trono de Dios, el Arca era su estrado. Jehová sentado sobre los querubines en medio del campamento del antiguo Israel, gobernaba y emitía su legislación, la Alianza. Como elemento santo, fue el más completo tipo de salvación ante la condición de muerte que padece la humanidad. En ella se conjugaba un mensaje ambivalente. Era como si estos espíritus que coronaban el cofre tuvieran la facultad de dar muerte al pecador en cumplimiento de la sentencia divina, como de permitir el acceso a la vida. Según el mito de origen, el jardín de Edén era como un tabernáculo natural; contenía la provisión de vida eterna, representada en el Árbol sagrado. Cuando la primera pareja quebranto la ley de Dios fueron exiliados del Jardín y condenados a muerte. Querubines ardientes, con una espada de fuego, flanqueaban la entrada. Custodiando el camino al Árbol de la Vida. Esto nos retrotrae a varios mitos en los que se hallan motivos de monstruos o grifos vigilando y montando guardia frente a un árbol de la inmortalidad. El desafío es vencer a los custodios. Hércules, para apoderarse de las manzanas de oro, debió reducir al dragón. No desde la lucha heroica, ni desde la magia, sino desde la súplica y comprensión, Abel debe conquistar el beneplácito de Dios. Debe comprar el acceso con su propia sangre o vida. Para que ello no ocurra ofrece un valor equivalente, la sangre de un toro sacrificado. Sólo pagando el precio se obtiene el pasaje al árbol deseado. Si bien Jehová aceptó dicho acto consumiendo la ofrenda con una aterradora llamarada que provenía desde la espada, el hecho de que Abel no obtuviera el paso demostraba que el sacrificio o pago no era suficiente. La madera con la que estaba construida el Arca, tiene su correspondencia en el Árbol de la Vida del que habla el mito. El propiciatorio, al puente de entrada de Edén, lo que separaba lo divino de lo profano. Durante el día de la expiación, el Sumo Sacerdote en representación del pueblo, rociaba la sangre de un toro delante del Arca. Una vez del lado oriental y otra del lado occidental de la cubierta, en símbolo de muerte y resurrección. Se pagaba con sangre animal por la vida que le correspondía dar a Israel. En cambio por el rescate se obtenía perdón por el lapso de un año. El ritual fue reinterpretado en la literatura apocalíptica temprana. Ahora la madera del Arca tenía una nueva correspondencia a escala mayor, al madero de Cristo y su sacrificio, dado a cambio no sólo por los pecado de un pueblo sino abarcando a toda la humanidad. El Arca no estaría en medio de Israel para siempre, su destino y significación aún encierran muchos enigmas de orden histórico y religioso. El oráculo de Jeremías había predicho que llegaría un tiempo en el que y no habitaría en un templo terrestre Jer. 3:16,17. Una vez cumplida s función típica, sería una sombra que se proyectaría en una verdadera realidad. En una visión, Juan, el apóstol, contempla la Jerusalén Celestial y el verdadero templo de cristal. Sobre un trono relumbrante la difusa figura como de un hombre, era la mismísima persona de Yahvé. En medio de densas nubes se epifanizó el Arca: " Y se abrió el Santuario de Dios en el cielo, y apareció el Arca de la Alianza en el Santuario, y se produjeron relámpagos y truenos". Apocalipsis ll:19.

Desde hace más de dos mil años en el valle del Nilo más cercano a ífrica se ha producido una curiosa mezcla entre la cultura egipcia y la mediterránea. A la sombra del Egipto faraónico prosperó el mí¬tico reino de Nubia, gobernado por mujeres valerosas que ejercí¬an su poder en una sociedad matriarcal y dirigí¬an su propio ejército. En la actualidad un equipo de arqueólogos -dirigido también por una mujer- trabaja en Meroe, la antigua capital del reino de Nubia, donde han aparecido una serie de templos y pirámides que igualan en belleza y esplendor a los del Antiguo Egipto. ‚¿Quién construyó estos soberbios templos? í‚¿Qué misterios esconden las paredes de las tumbas de estas poderosas reinas negras?.
