the beginning of the Imperial Age of Payment

From 4-11,000 MSD to 4-2,700 MSD

In 4-11,000 MSD (9,000 BC), at the Hallowed Ground in North Nubia, one of the Chosen People, a man named Obodo, as a reward for his good deeds, remembered Nubianism and began to practise it. This means that he began to exemplify the ideals of Fairness and Justice; he lived in accordance with the Four Great Natural Laws; he showed Unconditional Love to everyone; and he did Good Deeds in every situation in which he found himself. A group of the Chosen soon noticed that the results which Obodo was obtaining from life were improving dramatically. Because they wanted for themselves the same dramatic improvements they observed in Obodo's life, his fellows decided to change their way of life and lead their lives the way he led his. And as they did, the results they were obtaining from life began to improve dramatically also. They loved him and they joyfully followed him as their teacher and leader.

To signify Obodo's position of leadership among them, that group of the Chosen People, in a solemn but joyful ceremony, gave him a distinctive headwear. They thus crowned him their king, and he became the first man ever to be so honored. He became the first king in history, and his distinctive headwear became the first crown. That community of the Chosen named their City Nubia and their leader and teacher therefore became the first King of Nubia. As the Message of the Morning Star tells us, Nubia means the Chosen and also means Land of Fairness and Justice. Nubia is, of course, the true name of the First Continent.

The method of government devised by these Citizens of the City of Nubia in 4-11,000 MSD (9,000 BC) was based on Nubianism. It was therefore Fair and Just, and it enabled everyone to participate in the government of his or her people. That system of government is known as Consensus Democracy; it is now known also as Nubian Imperial Democracy, the current system of government of the Empire.

When their neighbors saw how well the City of Nubia was doing, they wanted to do just as well, so they decided to change their ways and lead their lives the same way the Nubians did. The Citizens of Nubia did the good deed of teaching them how. In this way, the territory under the leadership of the King of Nubia grew to include many Cities. Soon, the entire Nation came happily under the Fair and Just Consensus Democracy led by the King of Nubia. He therefore became the Governor while the many Kings and Queens of the Cities of the Nation led their Citizens under him; they all followed his teaching of Nubianism. Note that not only was the Governor of Nubia an excellent Governor, he was also an excellent teacher of Nubianism. The Kings and Queens also taught Nubianism in their various Cities as a very important part of their duties. That organized teaching of Nubianism is now recognized as the beginning of the Imperial College of the Morning Star.

THE NAME OF A NATION IS CHANGED

As time went by, the neighboring Nations noticed, with admiration, how well the Nation of Nubia, under its Governors, was doing. They too, desiring for themselves the same kind of prosperity they saw in Nubia, decided to change their way of life and live as the Nubians did. Again, the Nubians sent them teachers. Before long, many such Nations came eagerly together under the teaching and the government of the Governor of Nubia. Because there were now several Nations under the same government, the group of Nations became the Empire of Nubia; the man who was the Governor of Nubia at that time therefore became the first Emperor of Nubia. Another Governor was selected in his place and the name of the Nation was changed in order to avoid confusion.

The new name of the old Nation of Nubia was Uno ibe ive ukwu meli gboo which means the home where something of great significance took place, a reference to the re-discovery of the old Way of Life in that Nation. Over time, the name was shortened to Uno ive gboo, then to Ivegboo, then to Igboo, and today is Igbo, a great Nation in Region Four of the Empire. The Hallowed Ground, which God placed at the center of the continental drift, is located in that Nation.

By continuing to be admired and imitated by its neighbors, the Empire of Nubia continued to grow. It eventually covered all of the Continent of Nubia from Tunis in the North to Cape Agulhas in the South, from Dakar in the West to Musqat in the East, from Sette Cama near the equator to the headwaters of the Tigris. The year was 4-10,000 MSD (8,000 BC), about 10,000 years ago. That was 1,000 years after the Kingdom of Nubia was founded in the City called Nubia. It took 1,000 years for the remembered original Way of Life and the Fair and Just government to which it gave rise, to cover all of Nubia. Nubia is the continent which God gave, as a reward, to the Chosen People at the Communion of the Morning Star, four and a half million years ago, in 4-4,500,000 MSD.

LIFE IN THE ANCIENT EMPIRE OF NUBIA

Throughout the Empire of Nubia, all Nations were free and self-governing. Each Nation was governed by its Governor, and each City was ruled by its own King or Queen. The Governor was a citizen of his or her own Nation, and the King or Queen was a Citizen of his or her City. And because of the Way of Life practised by its Citizens, the Empire remained always at peace and united and its prosperity grew from year to year.

Some of the Citizens of the Empire of Nubia in those ancient times were farmers, herders of domestic animals, hunters, teachers, scientists, and technologists. Their various technologies included such disciplines as mining, refining and working of metals, for example silver, gold, copper, and tin. They began to refine and work these metals and their alloys in 4-6,000 MSD (4,000 BC), about 6,000 years ago; and they began to smelt and use iron in 4-4,000 MSD (2,000 BC), about 4,000 years ago. These Nubian technologists became artists and engineers and worked these metals and their alloys to a high degree of perfection. Many of their products have not survived but those that did, demonstrate the advanced degree of excellence with which these ancient Nubians worked.

ASTRONOMY IN ANCIENT NUBIA

Some Nubian scientists became astronomers and studied the heavens. They had not yet invented telescopes so they developed their expertise in naked-eye astronomy. They reached a high level of proficiency in naked-eye astronomy and were able to construct calendars and astronomical observatories. One such observatory is the Circle of Stone Observatory discovered in the late nineteen hundreds in the desert known as the Nubian desert, in the southern part of today's Egypt, in region 5 of the Empire. This Circle of Stone Observatory in, the Nubian desert is resembled in all particulars, by Stonehenge which is located in the Salisbury plains in southern England.

Stonehenge is exactly patterned after the Circle of Stone Observatory in Nubia and is, obviously, built in Europe by Nubian engineers and astronomers. The Circle of Stone Observatory in Nubia is older than the one in England by about 2,000 years; Stonehenge, in England, is about 4,000 years old. The Observatory in Nubia is, at least, 6,000 years old.

Some Nubian scientists and technologists devoted themselves to sea-faring science. The result is that by 4-9,000 MSD (7,000 BC), they had developed advanced sea-going technology and had built sea-going vessels. These Nubians were eager to explore the world. At about that time, the Emperor Oli Omike III, decided to teach Nubianism and Nubian science and technology to the far away Nations which the scientists were certain lived beyond the great oceans.

The Emperor therefore sent out teams of Nubian explorers on sea-going Imperial ships to cross the seas and take Nubianism and Nubian science and technology to other continents. These teams consisted of mariners, scientists and teachers of Nubianism. Some of the teams of Nubian sea-farers, riding their sail-equipped great ships, also took advantage of the favorable ocean currents of the Atlantic. They reached the Americas in 4-9,000 MSD (7,000 BC). The Nubians took with them, from home, such items as the bottle-gourd (lagenaria spp.) and the North Nubian diploid cotton (gossypium herbaceum) in order to maintain, on the new continents, the standard of living to which they were already accustomed.

Other teams of sea-faring Nubian explorers, scientists, and teachers reached all parts of Europe, Asia and Australia. Over time, the Nubians became the main population of some of those areas, or else the Nubians became a significant part of the local population. Each team of Nubian explorers took with it the Way of Life of Nubianism which its members had learned through the teaching of the Emperors. The teams also took other items of Nubian Culture. Many of those items of Nubian Culture have survived till today in many parts of the world, such as Irian Jaya on the Asian island of New Guinea, or else such items of Nubian Culture became the foundation of the culture that is in existence in those areas today. As an example, the marriage customs of some of the Nubian Nations in Irian Jaya resemble closely the marriage customs of the Akan Nation in North Nubia, not very far from the Hallowed Ground. Another example of a custom borrowed from Nubia is the royal succession of kings who have no sons, by their daughters, in normally fiercely patriarchal Nations of today's Europe. Those daughters, as in Nubia, bring their husbands home to their own father's family.

THE ORIGIN OF HINDUISM

It was during this period in history that a group of Citizens travelled to Asia to teach Nubianism and to live. They eventually reached the area now known as India, and for years, they taught Nubianism there. After many generations, their descendants decided to write down what they recollected from the original teachings of their ancestors. But much had been forgotten over the generations. These Nubians began writing what they remembered in 4-4,000 MSD, about 4,000 years ago; those writings became the Vedas and the Upanishads. The Vedas and the Upanishads are the sacred scriptures of Hinduism which, following various modifications, became a defined religion about 4-3,500 MSD (1500 BC). Hinduism was, therefore, founded in India by Nubians on the basis of Nubianism.

INTERCONTINENTAL COMMERCE

The overseas Nubians maintained strong links with home and thereby developed intercontinental commerce in the process. The cultural exchange and commerce were nurtured by the peace and prosperity to which Nubianism always gives rise.

In the intercontinental commerce with the American continents, which began in 4-9,000 MSD (7,000 BC) about 9,000 years ago, coca leaves and tobacco were imported into Nubia and hashish was exported into the Americas by enterprising Nubian merchants. These herbs were used in medicines and, as medicines, they were widely distributed throughout Nubia and the Americas. Other items of value such as minerals, garments, jewelry, various kinds of containers, items of food and medicines were, no doubt, imported and exported in the intercontinental trade. Unfortunately they left no distinct, surviving evidence of their presence over the millennia - as did coca, tobacco and hashish whose traces have been found in mummies a continent away from where the herbs naturally grew.

EDUCATION IN ANCIENT NUBIA

During this period in the history of the Empire of Nubia, education was recognized as a very important but very expensive undertaking. Education was very expensive and, in addition to the great expense, the opportunities available were strictly limited. The opportunities were limited because only a few selected people can have the broad intellectual gifts which full-time Nubian education demanded.

A fairly large percentage of the population went to a few years of school, part-time. A much smaller percentage, very highly gifted, went to school full-time. Such students left home to live at the schools with their professors. They were exempt from military service for life, but the younger students provided domestic service to their teachers with whom students always lived like family.

Higher education, which was developed in ancient Nubia in 4-7,5000 MSD (5,500 BC), about 7,500 years ago, was also a very difficult undertaking. Where today, twenty years of schooling would give a fairly bright student a doctorate degree from a good university, in those days in Nubia, the equivalent of a doctorate degree from the University in Kemet or Timbuktu, known to non-Citizens as Mystery Schools, took forty years of intensive, full-time study. Such study covered all branches of learning, including writing, composition, mathematics, engineering, art, music, calligraphy, religious philosophy, astronomy, foreign languages, medicine, architecture, chemistry, and physics. Graduates of the universities in Nubia were held in very high esteem. They filled very important positions and performed very important functions within the Empire.

Specialized studies associated with Nubianism at the Hallowed Ground took 14 years of full-time study.

DESERTS FORM IN NUBIA

About 4-10,000 MSD (8,000 BC), about 10,000 years ago, severe climatic changes began to occur in various parts of the world. These climatic changes, possibly caused by as asteroid impact or by a change in the Earth's magnetic field, began to create new deserts on the Continents. One of these new deserts is the Sahara, the great desert in North Nubia. As the fertile savannah was turning into desert, the Nubian population that lived there began to migrate back to the Nations from which they originally came. Some therefore moved back south to the rainforest regions while others moved east into the Nile Valley where the annual flooding of the Nile ensured that life-sustaining agriculture would continue to thrive.

STONE-CASTING TECHNOLOGY

There, in the Nile Valley, Nubian scientists from all parts of Nubia, developed a revolutionary method of stone casting. That was in 4-6,200 MSD (4,200 BC). They manufactured stone by pouring a liquid mixture of precisely formulated chemicals into wooden molds. This was a great technological development for, with that technology, stones of almost any size could be set in a building at almost any height. This remarkable advance by Nubian scientists later ushered in the Pyramid Age which began in 4-5,500 MSD (3,500 BC) and lasted for about 1,000 years. That amazing age saw the construction of many Pyramids of various shapes and sizes; in those Pyramids, single stones weighing over 500 tons are found at great heights.

The Nubian stone-casting technology is so remarkable that most scientists working in the late twentieth century AD, near the end of the Imperial Age of Payment, still maintain that the cast-stone is natural stone. That is how good that technology is. The drawings which the Nubians left on the Pyramids clearly show them casting the huge stones from liquid mixtures.

In casting the stones, local raw materials were used in every area of the Empire. In the Nile Valley, the raw materials used were Nile silt and semi-precious stones mined from the area, including the Sinai. When these semi-precious stones from the mines were exhausted, the Pyramid Age in the Nile Valley came to an abrupt end.

We employed the same stone-casting technology on the lost Continent of Mu in the Pacific. Our ancient highways, city walls, and major buildings on the existing remnants of the lost Continent of Mu, in the Pacific, are made of huge blocks of liquid-cast basalt. Some of the individual blocks weigh as much as 25 tons. The existing remnants of Mu include the islands of Rarotonga and Ponape in the Pacific Ocean.

Large pieces of basaltic stone have been found in the second half of the twentieth century AD, in Western Iraq. The evidence shows that those stones were also cast from liquid mixtures. The same stone-casting technology is again found in Central America, in the basalt stone portraits popularly referred to as Olmec Heads. These are stone portraits of Nubian Governor-Generals of the Olmec Empire, dating back to 4-5,000 MSD (3,000 BC). Some of the portraits are six to nine feet tall and weigh as much as 40 tons; they also were cast from liquid mixtures. It is clear that the same technology of stone-casting with liquid mixtures was used in building the huge stones of the Circle of Stone Observatories in the Nubian desert and on the Salisbury plains in England.

The existence of the basalt stone-casting technology in Western Iraq (which is the eastern border of Nubia) and in Central America (which is the western limit of the Empire) shows that the stone-casting was done under the direction of the same Nubian scientists. The work on these separate continents within the same Empire, was directed by the highly trained Nubian scientists and engineers of long ago. The same technology of liquid stone-casting was used in the much more recent mighty monuments of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas in the Americas. The young age of these American monuments is proof that the Nubian science was taught to there American builders by Nubian scientists and engineers.

ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRIC LIGHTING IN ANCIENT NUBIA

The ankh, a uniquely Nubian motif, was developed by scientists in ancient Nubia about 4-10,500 MSD (8,500 BC). The djed was developed by the same scientists of ancient Nubia about 250 years later, in 4-10,250 MSD (8,250 BC). Both are electric power sources. When constructed with the appropriate elements and immersed in the appropriate solution, the ankh causes the flow of direct electric current. The direct current from these two sources and the low voltage fluorescent light bulbs, which were developed in Kemet, provided the bright light needed by the artists who painted the color pictures and did the lettering in the very dark interiors of the pyramids and other monuments. In those dark chambers, old soot from ordinary oil lamps, a possible alternative source of lighting, have been sought but none has ever been found! There is no doubt that such electric lighting was also used in homes and in assembly halls throughout Nubia, as the occasion demanded.

It is very revealing indeed that it was only after Napoleon Bonaparte's expedition into Egypt in 4-202 MSD (1798) with a team of French scientists that those scientists began to make startling discoveries in electricity. Their achievements occurred only after they studied the artifacts of Kemet. We now know that their discoveries were based on what they learned firsthand from the long-dead Nubian scientists of Kemet. The French were simply publicizing what ancient Nubians had invented thousands of years earlier.

The Jews, whose story is told in the Bible, are Nubians. That is why they properly referred to themselves as God's Chosen People.

The Ark of the Covenant, mentioned so often in the Old Testament of the Bible, is a sacred box protected by static electricity which the Nubian scientists of old understood very well. The static electricity was induced by rubbing with wool the gold with which the wooden box was encased. The electric charge induced was so high that anyone who touched the charged box was immediately electrocuted.

The rod or scepter, which the priests and royalty carried, was used to safely discharge the static electricity, making it safe to touch the box. Modern royalty and priests still carry a scepter to signify their power but they no longer have any occasion to use it for the purpose for which it was originally designed by Nubian scientists.

WRITING IN ANCIENT NUBIA

Nubians invented writing about 4-10,000 MSD (8,000 BC) which is about 10,000 years ago. The earliest Nubian writing was ideographs written on walls. Such ideographs served the double purpose of being decorative as well as being records of important facts and information. Such ideographs are still found in various parts of Nubia today.

To enable them to be transportable, the writings were soon transferred to the dried trunk-rinds of banana and plantain trees. The trunk-rinds were harvested, flattened out and then dried before use. After the rinds were written on, the rind documents were carefully oiled with roasted palm kernel oil as a preservative. Later, the writings began to be made on writing screens. Writing screens resembled venetian blinds but, in writing screens, the slats were made from the soft center of raffia palm branches. The development of writing on writing screens is the reason why the ancient Nubian writing of one of the now- extinct Nubian writing systems, was made on ruled lines even when written on granite. It is to be noted that the writings on granite were made before the liquid cast-stone had hardened completely. Though writing on the screens was cheaper, since the screens were much cheaper than the cast-stone, the stone tablets provided permanence. The banana and plantain trunk rinds and the raffia palm writing screens lacked permanence. They became brittle with age (in spite of being oiled to keep them supple); they were also easily eaten by the voracious Nubian termite. In the Nile Valley, the Nubians used papyrus instead of the more brittle writing screens.

With the vastness of the Empire and with the multitude of cultures of its thousands of Nations, different kinds of writing were developed. A few of them, like the Amharic writing of today's Ethiopia, have survived the ravages of time and the devastation of the Imperial Age of Payment. Many did not.

CITIZENS BEGIN TO DO GROUP EVIL DEEDS

As a few thousand years went by, many Nubians gradually became arrogant because of their success and prosperity. They began to fall away from the Nubianism on which their thousands of years of success and prosperity depended. They had grown so accustomed to success and prosperity that they began to take their success for granted. They even began to believe that they were entitled to rewards they had not earned.

In about 4-5,000 MSD (3,000 BC), the Nubians began to do evil deeds while still expecting rewards. Some of their evil deeds were group evil deeds and were therefore earning them group punishment. Their group evil deeds included the following:

1. The Nubians took the property of other people.

2. They killed other human beings intentionally.

3. They abusively exploited other peoples; they owned other humans as property, employed them in various industries and did not pay them for their work.

4. The Nubians raped the women of other Nations.

5. The Nubians imposed their rulership over other Nations such as the Olmecs in the Americas, whom they named after the Nubian Emperor, Oli Omike III.

6. The Nubians seized the land of other Nations.

7. The Nubians adulterated Nubianism by introducing into it a priesthood through which the rulers sought to unfairly and unjustly exploit the Citizens as well as Non-Citizen Nations.

These group evil deeds which began in about 4-5,000 MSD (3,000 BC), lasted about 2,300 years.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HEBREWS

In 4-4,000 MSD (2,000 BC), about 4,000 years ago, Nahor, a 45-year old Nubian man, returned to Ur from 10 years of living near the Hallowed Ground and studying Nubianism. Ur was a City in the Nubian Nation of the Chaldeans, in the north-eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, in Eastern Nubia. He re-introduced his family in Ur to Nubianism and, for many years afterwards, he taught Nubianism and worked diligently to interest the rest of the City. His young son, Terah, watched him and noted his frustration at his limited success.

Terah was 15 when his father, Nahor, returned from the Hallowed Ground. The boy was a doer of good deeds. As a young man, he was determined to see an improvement in the life of his people through the widespread practice of Nubianism. When he grew older, he became a teacher of Nubianism and began to feel the same frustration he observed in his father. He became so frustrated over the years that at the mature age of 90, he decided that he had given his City enough time. He made up his mind to migrate from his home Nation in hopes of finding a more receptive Nation.

He moved north to a City named Haran, in the Nation of the Haran, in Northeastern Nubia, and settled there. He found the Haran more receptive and so he happily dedicated himself even more to Nubianism. He was so dedicated that in 4-3,920 MSD (1,920 BC), about 5 years after he arrived in Haran City, he sent his 25-year old first son, Abraham, to the Nation of the Igbo, where the Hallowed Ground is located, to study Nubianism, as his own father, Nahor, had done.

He sent the young man by entrusting him to the leader of a Caravan that traversed the Empire. Abraham arrived at his destination near the Hallowed Ground about 2 years after he set out. There, he lived with the family of the Governor and teacher with whom his grandfather, Nahor, had lived some 90 years earlier.

Abraham lived and studied in the Igbo Nation for 14 years and then went home, an educated man and an experienced teacher of Nubianism. When he returned to Haran in 4-3,901 MSD (1,901 BC), he was 44 years old and he was very different from who he used to be. He was now so much more mature, full of knowledge, and Unconditional Love.

The people of Haran City, in admiration, began to call him Igbo-ro which in the Haran language meant Igbo gentleman. Over time, Igbo-ro became Igbru, making Abraham the first Hebrew and his future descendants the Hebrews.

Abraham continued to do good deeds and to teach Nubianism in the City, and in the Nation of the Haran. He prospered immensely. In 4-3,870 MSD (1,870 BC), he was rewarded with a divine vision in which he saw even more prosperity and a Nation of descendants though, at the age of 75, he still had no children after 55 years of marriage. Following that vision, Abraham decided to move from Haran to the land he saw in the vision, a land he had seen before - on his way to the Hallowed Ground, 50 years earlier.

He moved with his 66-year old wife, Sarah, whom he had married when he was 20 and she was 11. They travelled south-east from Haran, following the same Imperial Caravan route on which he had travelled as a young man. The route led towards Egypt. He settled in the Canaan Nation, north-east of Egypt. His story is symbolically recorded in Genesis, in the Bible, a book of Nubian wisdom, symbolism, and prophecy.

THE ORIGIN OF THE TRUE ARABS

Abraham married a much younger second wife named Hagar, who became the mother of his first son, Ishmael. Ishmael was born when Abraham was 86 years old. Ishmael grew mighty and prosperous and became the ancestor of the true Arabs who are, of course, Nubians and among the Chosen People. Like the country known as the United Kingdom, today's Arabia, an integral part of Nubia, is inhabited by both Citizens and Non-Citizens.

THE HEBREWS AND THE HALLOWED GROUND

The connection between the Hebrews (or true Jews) of the Bible and the Hallowed Ground is further clarified by these facts:

(1) The Igbo Nation, in which the Hallowed Ground is located, where both Abraham and his grandfather studied Nubianism, circumcises its male babies on the 8th day, exactly as Abraham's Covenant with God states. Sarah, Abraham's first wife, bore Abraham his second son, Isaac, when Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. The covenant of circumcision covers the descendants of Isaac but not Ishmael, though Ishmael himself was circumcised. The Covenant with God is recorded in the Bible, in Genesis, Chapter 17, Verses 11 to 26. The Chaldeans did not circumcise their male babies; Abraham and his first son, Ishmael, were not circumcised until Abraham was 99 and Ishmael was 13. The concept of circumcision on the 8th day came from Abraham's fourteen-year sojourn and study among the Igbo.

(2) A City in the great Yoruba Nation, near the Hallowed Ground, is named Ore which sounds very much like Ur. It is possibly where Abraham's grandfather had lived at one time during his travels in the area. Ore could have been named for the honored guest from Ur.

The members of the European and Asian Races who, today, claim to be Jews are not true Jews, are not Hebrews, and are not the descendants of Abraham. Sixty percent of them are members of the European Nation of Khazaria, fifteen percent of them are other Europeans such as French, German, Norwegian, or English, and the other twenty-five percent are an Asian-European mix. The Khazars converted to Judaism, under pressure from the Moors, in 4-1,200 MSD (800 AD), about 1,200 years ago. (The Moors are Nubians and bore the Sign of the Chosen.) Hebrews are Nubians and bear the Sign of the Chosen.

THE EMPIRE'S FATE IS SEALED

During the 2,300 years of group evil deeds, the Empire of Nubia continued to be successful and to prosper. But its fate was already being sealed. The handwriting, as the old saying goes, was already on the wall. Individual Citizens were, in accordance with the Law of Personal Responsibility, receiving proportionate punishment for their individual evil deeds but their group punishment was accumulating. Those 2,300 years are known as the Period of Accumulation for the Empire.

During a Period of Accumulation an evil-doing group continues to prosper. The group is therefore unable to realize that it is being doomed by its continuing evil deeds. And because its members are continuing to be prosperous as a group in spite of their group evil deeds, they become even more arrogant, certain that their prosperity is a result of their continuing arrogance and evil deeds. But they are badly deceived. They therefore fail to listen to wise teachers and to their own prophets. Such failure then guarantees their own doom.

I personally can identify more with this perspective than the previous one.

its end on Automatic Freedom Day

From 4-2,700 MSD to 4-01 MSD

The Imperial Age of Payment began in 4-2,700 MSD (700 BC), about 2,700 years ago, and ended on May 9, 4-01 MSD (1999), which was also the Automatic Freedom Day for all Nations. The Imperial Age of Payment gave Nubians, as punishment, what they had done to others as group evil deeds. Their punishment was in proportion to those group evil deeds.

The group punishment began with the second successful invasion of Kemet by the Hyksos, an Asian Nation. The Hyksos, also known as the Shepherd Kings, had successfully invaded Kemet in 4-3,700 MSD (1,700 BC), their first successful invasion. With that success, they ruled that Nubian Nation for 150 years before the Nubians drove them out. The Hyksos returned after 850 years and, as they rode in to devastate Kemet this second time, they carried with them something different; the Hyksos carried with them a dangerous new disease.

The new disease was a deadly influenza. That disease, and the unequaled brutality of the Hyksos, drove untold thousands of Citizens away from Kemet and back into the rest of Nubia, back to their Nations of origin. Without meaning to do so, the fleeing Nubians carried the lethal influenza virus with them, and spread it among their fellow Citizens, on their way and at their various destinations. A devastating influenza epidemic resulted and ravaged the Empire, killing sixty percent of the population in a period of twenty seven weeks. With the sudden death of so many, including its scientists, technologists, teachers and other highly educated Citizens, the Empire suddenly lost the driving force of its culture and technology and could no longer maintain its success and prosperity.

It was thus that the Imperial Age of Payment was triggered. And because it was due to start, since it was earned and its Period of Accumulation was at its end, nothing could avert the group punishment. And so, a long night of pain and suffering fell on the mighty Empire. A long eclipse descended on the Empire of Nubia, an eclipse so long that other Nations - and even most Citizens - came to accept it as permanent. They all came to accept the diminished condition of the Empire and its citizens as permanent. But permanent it is not!

In all their group evil deeds, the Nubians were fortunate that they made no Nation extinct. If they had made even just one Nation extinct, they would have been punished with extinction as are the Europeans and the Japanese who are now being punished under their on-going European and Japanese Ages of Payment. These two Non-Citizen Ages of Payment began in 4-10 MSD (1990), will last for 1,080 years, and will result in the total extinction of both the European and the Japanese races because they made other races extinct. Fortunately for them, the Message of the Morning Star shows them that by doing appropriate good deeds, they can each terminate their Age of Payment and avoid extinction.

THE ORIGIN OF BUDDHISM

About 4-2,500 MSD (500 BC), 200 years after the beginning of the Imperial Age of Payment, one of the Nubians in India began to remember more and more of Nubianism. Nubianism in that part of Asia had become much watered down, but this Nubian began to remember the Original Way of Life of his long-gone ancestors. He began to remember Nubianism as a reward for his many good deeds. He began to practise and to teach what he remembered. His father, a Nubian, was the King of the City, so he was a Nubian Prince. His name was Gautama (and also Siddhartha).

Gautama's followers grew in numbers and they called him the Buddha which means the awakened one or the enlightened one. What they practised was later known as Buddhism. The major event of his remembering occurred while he was meditating under a Bo tree; that event is referred to as the enlightenment. The Law of Karma, a key part of Buddhism, is essentially the same as the Law of Personal Responsibility. The Four Noble Truths which are the basic tenets of Buddhism resemble Nubianism which consists of the Four Pillars. The oldest statues of the Buddha show him accurately with the Circle Curls of Nubia. Much newer statues show him, incorrectly, with straight hair.

A CHANCE FOR THE EARLY TERMINATION OF

THE IMPERIAL AGE OF PAYMENT

In 4-1,388 MSD (612 AD), about 1,300 years after the Imperial Age of Payment began, Nubians earned the reward of an opportunity to end their Age of Payment early. The reward began when, in 4-1,388 MSD (612 AD), the Prophet Muhammad, a Nubian Citizen, began to receive the Divine revelations which, since he was unable to write, he dictated to his friend, Citizen Bilal. Those writings, which became the Holy Qur'an, are the Divine basis of Islam. Unfortunately, because of their continuing group evil deeds, the Nubians lost the great opportunity to end their Age of Payment early and even earned 500 additional years of group punishment.

After the Prophet Muhammad received the Holy Qur'an, the Nubians, under his energetic leadership, began the rapid spread of Islam. Islam represents a return to Original Spirituality (that is Nubianism) as the Prophet perceived it. Unfortunately, that perception included acts which the Message of the Morning Star has showed us should not have been included. Propelled by the determined effort to spread it, Islam soon covered the part of Nubia known as the Arabian Peninsula and spread into the area of the Continent north of the Sahara. Europe was next.

In 4-1,289 MSD (711 AD), the Nubians, led by Citizen Tarik, invaded Spain to spread Islam and to establish the Nubian rulership of Southern Europe. That Nubian rulership would last for 781 years. In Europe, the Nubians were known as Moors, from the German word mohr meaning black. And they were a conquering terror as well as a great educating and civilizing influence to the Europeans. The Nubians maintained their rulership over the South of Europe until their defeat in 4-508 MSD (1492 AD), in Granada in southern Spain, by the Spanish armies of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. That was exactly 880 years after Prophet Muhammad began to dictate the Holy Qur'an, and 781 years after Citizen Tarik led the conquering Nubians into Europe where they became, for centuries, the invincible, educated, elegant Moors and rulers.

It is interesting that the same year, 4-508 MSD (1492), was the year in which Christopher Columbus, in the service of the same King and Queen of Spain and guided by Nubian mariners, discovered America. Note also that America is a land to which the same Nubians had sailed 8,500 years earlier and where they later became the Governor-Generals of the Olmec Empire. That so-called discovery of America prepared the scene for some of the most painful group punishment of Nubians which followed almost immediately. Because, with their failure to Fairly and Justly utilize the opportunity to terminate the Imperial Age of Payment early, the Nubians had earned another 500 years of additional group punishment. Those 500 additional years ended on May 9, 4-01 MSD (1999).

THE FINAL 500 YEARS

The defeat of the Nubians in Spain in 4-508 MSD (1492) ended Nubian rulership in Europe. That defeat also marked the end of another Period of Accumulation for Nubians and the beginning for them of another 500 years of group punishment. Those 500 years, now known as the Final 500, brought the Nubians five major group punishments which are, in reality, what they had done to others as group evil deeds. These are:

1. The Great Holocaust: 4-508 MSD to 4-01 MSD (1492 to 1999). The Great Holocaust is the group punishment of Nubians wherein Europeans came into Nubia, kidnapped free Citizens of the Empire and carried them bound and gagged to the Americas. In the Americas, these Citizens were sold and owned as property; they were employed in various industries but were never paid for their work. The Europeans used various methods to maintain their access to free Citizens in Nubia, including inducing Citizens to fight wars among themselves, or raid other Citizen Nations in order to capture Citizens for transportation to the Americas. Some of the kidnapped Citizens were taken to Europe and were used in the same kind of unpaid employment there. The employment of free Citizens in unpaid labor is now known as abusive exploitation.

As part of the Great Holocaust, millions of female Citizens were raped by Europeans. The resulting children, though they were free Citizens of the Empire like their mothers, were also, like their mothers, abusively exploited by their European parents. Also, as part of the Great Holocaust, millions of Citizens were brutally beaten by the Europeans or their Citizen appointees. Many times, Nubian limbs were amputated by Europeans to discourage Nubian escape. Untold thousands of Citizens either jumped overboard or were thrown overboard during the crossing from Nubia. Millions more were murdered in the Americas and in Europe by the Europeans. Millions of Citizen families were broken up as the Europeans sold its members separately.

After about 300 years, the economy which was nurtured by the unpaid labor of abusive exploitation, began to change. Something known as the Industrial Revolution was beginning and, with it, the Europeans began to lose interest in that mode of exploitation of Citizens. In various Europeans Countries and in the Americas, the Europeans passed laws to stop the no-longer-useful abusive exploitation. But its lingering effect, which is institutionalized racism, has continued ever since. In other parts of the Americas, such as Brazil and Equador, the old-style abusive exploitation has, in spite of the laws, continued to this day.

2. Colonial Exploitation: 4-200 MSD to 4-35 MSD (1800 to 1965). With the rise of the Industrial Revolution in Europe, the Europeans were now in need of industrial raw materials and markets for their manufactured goods. They again turned to Nubia and also to Asia. In Nubia, they employed various forms of perfidy and trickery to introduce and maintain European rulership over Nubian Nations. They also struggled mightily and bitterly among themselves for territories in Nubia.

In 4-116 MSD (1884), the European Countries met in Berlin, Germany, and agreed to a partitioning of Nubia among themselves. The result of their agreement is the fabrication of the Countries one sees today in maps of Nubia. Slight changes have occurred since that Berlin Conference because when Germany and Italy lost the Second World War, the territories assigned to them were taken over by the other Europeans, namely United Kingdom and France, who were members of the alliance that won the war.

The Europeans exploited Nubia brutally. The most brutal of the European exploiters was King Leopold of Belgium. He claimed as his personal property, an area in southern Nubia that came to be known as the Belgian Congo, an area 25 times the size of Belgium itself. His agents in the Congo required Citizens to bring in to them, as taxes, so much rubber from the rainforest, every so often. Those who failed to meet the arbitrary quota had fingers, toes, a hand, or a foot cut off, as punishment. King Leopold's brutality was so excessive that the other Europeans, brutal as they all were, felt so scandalized that they had to force him to scale back his excesses.

It must be understood that the division of Nubia by Europeans was done for the exploitation of Nubia by Europeans, not to help Citizens. Any benefit the Nubians derived from the interaction with Europeans was incidental and, in most cases, unavoidable. Such benefits, as there may have been, occurred because the Europeans had to provide them in order to improve their returns on the exploitation of Nubia. The continued impoverishment of Nubian Countries today is the long-term effect of that Colonial Exploitation.

The so-called independent Countries in Nubia were being governed by Nubians within the same artificial boundaries imposed by Europeans. The great instability of those Countries was a result of those artificial boundaries. All the Nubian Nations that were in bondage within such independent Countries became free and self-governing again on Automatic Freedom Day.

Another aspect of Colonial Exploitation is known as the Apartheid Holocaust which occurred between 4-52 MSD (1948) and 4-06 MSD (1994). After 4-508 MSD (1492), Europeans began to venture into the parts of Nubia beyond its Mediterranean shores. They loved what they saw and wanted to live there. They found the area of North Nubia below the Sahara difficult because of the malaria which was common there. So many of them died of malaria in that region that they began to refer to it as the white man's grave; that was before quinine was discovered. The Europeans found South Nubia much less dangerous so they began to settle there in large numbers, beginning about 300 years ago. They found the land rich and excellent for agriculture and the mineral deposits extraordinary. Gem quality diamonds were found on the banks of rivers and on the seashore; gold nuggets were found lying free on river-beds. The Europeans, such as Cecil John Rhodes from England, made fortunes. They also imposed their rulership on the host Nubian Nations.

In 4-52 MSD (1948), the National Party, a political party consisting of Europeans, came to power in the Nubian Country known as South Africa. The National Party soon passed laws that officially expelled Nubians to infertile areas of the Country and gave their fertile land to Europeans. The government also took the right to vote away from Nubians and disconnected Nubians of mixed parentage from their Nubian families. That separation of the races, and the dispossession of Nubians, is known as the Apartheid Holocaust. It ended officially (though not in reality) when Citizen Nelson Mandela became the President of the Country in 4-06 MSD (1994).

3. Neo-colonial Exploitation: 4-35 MSD to 4-01 MSD (1965 to 1999). Neo-colonial exploitation is the group punishment of Citizens that started at the end of Colonial Exploitation. During the final days of Colonial Exploitation, Citizens in various Countries began to agitate for independence for their Countries. When the agitation became too disruptive for the comfort of the European Colonial exploiters, the European governments decided to grant independence to the Countries under their exploitation. They, nevertheless, continued to exploit those same Countries within the new arrangement known as independence. They achieved the new kind of exploitation by doing one or more of the following, thereby making the independence a total sham.

(a) They handed power over to a group of Citizens they could continue to control even after the so-called independence, as in Nigeria.

(b) They kept the independent Countries within a Commonwealth which they controlled, such as the British Commonwealth.

(c) They gave so-called foreign aid to the independent Countries in order to keep them a captive market which pays a high price for goods exported by the giver of the foreign aid.

(d) They left the independent Countries so broke that they had to take loans from the IMF and the World Bank, ensuring thereby that the Nubian Countries would continue to pay interest forever on loans they could never repay.

(e) They attempted to make the independent Countries overseas provinces of the European Colonial Exploiter, as France did to the countries it was exploiting in Nubia.

(f) They demanded, as a condition for IMF loans, that independent Countries open up their markets and let their currencies float. This forced the currencies to crash to a small percentage of their prior value, enabling Europeans to buy on the cheap, assets such as the Telephone Companies, Electric Power Companies, etc., of such Nubian Countries.

Because of Neo-colonial Exploitation, Nubian Countries became poorer and poorer while their European exploiters became richer and richer. Neo-colonial Exploitation officially ended on Automatic Freedom Day, on May 9, 4-01 MSD (1999).

4. Theft of Property in Nubia: 4-508 MSD to 4-01 MSD (1492 to 1999). Since they began to come into Nubia in numbers after 4-508 MSD (1492), Europeans have stolen property such as archeological artifacts and great works of art from Nubia. Such stolen property is in museums and in private collections in Europe and in the United States. Europeans and Asians have also stolen vast tracts of Nubian land as well as Nubia's islands. These thefts officially ended on Automatic Freedom Day. Recovery of stolen land is Action Number 8 of the Action Program of the Nubian Agenda.

5. Counter-Intelligence Programs: 4-86 MSD to 4-01 MSD (1914-1999). Various Europeans and European organizations have mounted counter-intelligence programs against Citizens since Citizen Hon. Marcus Garvey registered the UNIA (United Negro Improvement Association) in Jamaica, in 4-86 MSD (1914). The Europeans have mounted the counter-intelligence programs in order to frustrate the attempts by Citizens and their organizations to reduce the heavy burden of group punishment for Nubians. Such counter-intelligence programs have caused the murders of thousands of Citizens by the agents of the European organizations. They claimed the lives of Citizen Patrice Lumumba, the first Prime Minister of independent Congo, and Citizen Malcolm X. They caused the overthrow of Citizen President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana. Those programs have, at one time or another, targeted the UNIA, Citizen Hon. Marcus Garvey, Citizen Paul Robeson, the Nation of Islam, the Black Panthers, Student Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee (SNCC), Citizen Malcolm X, Citizen Fred Hampton, Citizen Mark Clark, Citizen Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Imperial Nubian Association, and many other individuals and organizations.

Though the five group punishments just described were earned by the Nubians, those five punishments are group evil deeds done by Europeans. God told humankind at the Communion of the Morning Star that punishment shall go to the person or persons through whose evil deeds comes the punishment of others. Because of these evil deeds, together known as the Imperial Holocaust, the Europeans earned for themselves their own group punishment which is known as the European Age of Payment. Their group punishment (which will lead to their extinction) will be terminated before that extinction occurs if the Europeans pay proportionate reparation for their evil deeds, and if they also return all stolen land and property to Nubians. The European Age of Payment began in 4-10 MSD (1990) and will last for 1,080 years, till 9-1070 MSD.

PROPHECIES ABOUT THE IMPERIAL AGE OF PAYMENT

1. There were many written prophecies about the Imperial Age of Payment; the writings were destroyed when the great Imperial Library of Alexandria was burned. Those prophecies would be considerably older than the prophecies in the Bible. The Books of the Citizen Prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel in the Old Testament of the Bible, written in 4-3,000 MSD (1,000 BC), about 3,000 years ago, include prophecies about the Imperial Age of Payment.

2. Citizen Prophet Jeremiah spoke about the end of the Imperial Age of Payment when he quoted God in Jeremiah Chapter 33, Verse 9 as saying, And it shall be to me a name of Joy, a promise and an honor before all the Nations of the earth which shall hear of the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity I procure unto it. The name of Joy is the Empire of Nubia, and the prosperity is the prosperity that lies ahead for the Empire and it's Citizens as they lead humankind to the Perfect Place.

3. Citizen Prophet Ezekiel quoted God as saying to Citizens in Chapter 28 Verse 15, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee... Then in Verses 17 and 18, God said, I will lay thee before Kings, that they may behold thee... I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. The group punishment the Nubians earned through their evil deeds was so devastating it brought them all the way down to ashes.

4. About 450 years ago, Dr. Michel de Nostredame, commonly known by his Latin name of Nostradamus, prophesied about the Message of the Morning Star, the end of the Imperial Age of Payment, and the ushering in of a great prosperity age for the Empire and its Citizens, as well as for the whole world.

5. In 4-27 MSD (1973), Sakoian and Acker prophesied that there would be a new understanding of the relationship between humankind and God. They prophesied that the new understanding will change religion as currently practised. The new understanding is represented by Nubianism.

6. In 4-87 MSD (1913), Citizen Hon. Marcus Garvey prophesied in writing about the resurrection of the Empire of Nubia, possibly within one generation. In 4-62 MSD (1938), which is one generation (i.e. 25 years) later, the person through whom the Message of the Morning Star was sent to Humankind by God, the same person who is to lead the resurrection of the Empire, was born in Nubia, near the Hallowed Ground.

7. In the Biblical Book of Prophecy known as the Revelation to St. John the Divine, in Chapter 2, Verse 28, the prophecy reads: To the one who conquers I will also give the morning star. And at 10 o'clock in the morning, Morning Star Central Time, on September 9, 4-10 MSD (1990), near the Hallowed Ground, the Morning Star was given to the person through whom the Message was sent to all of us.

The Message has revealed a great body of forgotten information about humankind's relationship with God the Creator, about life on Earth, and about the great Empire of Nubia.

END OF THE LONG ECLIPSE

From 4-01 MSD to 9-Infinity MSD

The Morning Star Prosperity Period, which begins on Automatic Freedom Day, should be the longest of the nine periods of history. It should be longer than the first eight combined, if humankind lives the Message of the Morning Star, because in that case, Planet Earth, our Empire, and the present Universe-Time Continuum will last forever.

This period begins with the 12 months which the Message of the Morning Star calls the Action Period of the Empire of Nubia. Then it continues with the Millennium of the Morning Star which merges, in another 12 months, with the Prosperity Age of the Morning Star. And the Prosperity Age of the Morning Star should last forever.

During the 12 months of the Action Period, hundreds of Nubian Nations and thousands upon thousands of Umuna throughout the Empire will be organized or re-organized for better service to Citizens. The Action Period will extend from May 9, 4-01 MSD (1999) to May 9, 9-00 MSD which is Automatic Freedom Year (2000 AD). On that great day in the Automatic Freedom Year, the Millenium of the Morning Star, a period of 1,000 years of great peace and prosperity for the world and for the Empire, will begin.

On May 9, 9-01 MSD (2001 AD), the Millennium of the Morning Star will merge into the Prosperity Age of the Morning Star which begins on that date. The Prosperity Age of the Morning Star will take Citizens and the rest of humankind, under their leadership, to the Perfect Place.
