Book Description

NYANKOPON and NYANKONTON - RA and RAIT In this publication we correct the false notion that the Supreme Being and the Creator and Creatress are one and the same. Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) have always understood that the Great Mother and Great Father function together as One Divine Unit – the Supreme Being. The most ancient name for the Great Mother and Great Father is Amenet and Amen as shown in ancient Khanit (Nubia) and Kamit (Egypt). Amenet and Amen are called Nyamewaa and Nyame in Akan culture. It is Amenet-Amen as the Great Being who direct Ra and Rait, the Creator and Creatress to create the Universe. This reality is one that Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) people can and have verified via our direct interaction with Amenet, Amen, Ra and Rait over tens of thousands of years. This reality is thus woven into the fabric of our cultural and religious expressions inclusive of the manner in which we articulate cosmology. This was true in ancient Khanit and Kamit and is true in Akan culture – in its authentic expression. Because of the corruptive influence of the pseudo-religions of the whites and their offspring, many Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) have attempted to force-fit our cosmology into the foolish and invalid notion of monotheism. The whites and their offspring manufactured the idea of monotheism for political purposes. They sought to lure Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) away from communicating with the actual Abosom (Deities) who are connected to us by blood, for they understood and understand that as long as we connect with the Abosom, we will be directed to overthrow the whites and their offspring and eradicate the perverse influence they have imprinted upon our culture worldwide. They therefore sought to erase the memory of the various Abosom and put forward the idea that there is only one, male ‘god’ who the whites are the representatives of. This would cause the brainwashed amongst us to believe that if we fought against the whites, we would be fighting against the ‘will of god’. This was the only means by which the whites and their offspring believed that they could control Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) after invading our countries and communities. It has taken them thousands of years to spread this false notion, gaining success only within the last 100+ years on a major scale. Akan nations who have fallen under the corrupt influence of the whites and their offspring have attempted to conflate the Creator with the Supreme Being, while eliminating the reality of the Great Mother and the Creatress altogether. Thus Nyankopon (Ra) is fused with and said to be a ‘title’ of Nyame (Amen) in Akan culture. Moreover, Nyankonton (Rait) and Nyamewaa (Amenet) are forgotten altogether. In this publication we restore the truth about Nyankopon and Nyankonton as Ra and Rait – the Creator and Creatress of the Universe and their relationship as Servants of Nyamewaa and Nyame (Amenet and Amen). We have also included an appendix which demonstrates that strands of the authentic cosmology still exist within the culture irrespective of the corrupt influence of the pseudo-religions of christianity, islam, judaism, etc. This is expressed through two Anansesem (Ananse stories) which feature Nsia – the Mother of Nyankopon.
