The Moors were a group of North Africans who conquered and ruled Spain for nearly 781 years, from 711-1492 CE. They entered the Iberian Peninsula, Spain, after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, passing through Morocco...

African Moors were known for their exceptional architecture and engineering skills, and they built numerous impressive structures, such as universities and mosques in Spain, which still stand to this day. They made significant contributions in various fields, including math, medicine, chemistry, philosophy, astronomy, botany, bricklaying and history.

The African Moors were the first to introduce the use of Arabic numbers in Europe, which are still used today. They also made significant advances in medicine, developed treatments for various diseases and created medical textbooks that were widely used.

In addition, the African Moors were skillful astronomers and developed advanced techniques to measure time and determine the position of celestial bodies. They also made important contributions to botany, introducing new plants in Spain and creating gardens admired by many.

African Moors were also known for their expertise in bricklaying and built numerous impressive structures, such as Granada's Alhambra, considered one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in the world. Finally, they also wrote extensively about their history, creating numerous historical texts that are still being studied today.

📷 : a painting of a figure often associated with the "Moorish" period or culture, particularly in the context of European orientalist art. This style of art, popular in the late 1800s, often depicted North African or Middle Eastern figures in elaborate attire, sometimes with a romanticized or exoticized view. 

The term "Moor" in English usage historically referred to inhabitants of Roman province of Mauretania, and later, to the Muslim population of al-Andalus (Spain and Portugal), who were of mixed Arab, Spanish, and Amazigh (Berber) origins. The figure in the painting is dressed in a green head covering, a gold-colored garment, and carries weaponry, including a sword and a pistol, along with a staff. 

Such depictions, sometimes referred to as "Blackamoors" in popular European decorative arts, represented African males in exotic attire in various art forms like paintings, statues, and jewelry.

Anunnaki gods were worshipped by Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia long before Greeks praised Olympian gods or Egyptians prayed to Osiris. While Zeus and the rest of Greek gods resided at top of Mount Olympus, and Osiris was god of earth and underworld, Anunnaki were winged deities who lived up in heavens and came down to Earth to decide on people’s destiny.

Sumerians had many myths involving Anunnaki gods passing judgment on humans. The gods were described as children of the Earth and sky. This indicates they were believed to interact with humans when they came down to Earth. Based on ancient carvings depicting deities of ancient Mesopotamia, some had wings, wore horned caps, and had bird faces, while others held something resembling a modern-day ladies’ purse.

Anunnaki descended from the god of heavens An and goddess of the Earth Ki. The word Anunnaki word can be translated into “princely seed” in Sumerian, but as a term, it remains poorly defined. There is hardly any evidence of an exact number of these gods and their various functions as historical texts deviate from one another. According to Sumerian beliefs, Heaven and Earth were inseparable until Enlil came along. Enlil split Heaven and Earth in two and carried the Earth away whilst his father, An, carried away the sky.

Sumer, one of oldest civilizations, estimated to have existed between 4500-1750 BC. It consisted of a small number of city-states, each organized around a temple now called a ziggurat, dedicated to Anunnaki gods’ worship. Ziggurats were layered pyramids with a flat top. Archaeologists consider those communities to be “servant-slave” populations dedicated to serving temple gods. Later, priesthood rulership was replaced by kings.

Babylonian cuneiform texts describe Sumerians as ancients. Despite their ancient origins, Sumerians had developed a sophisticated method of keeping time, dividing the day into hours, similar to way we count time today. They also invented cuneiform, one of earliest known systems of writing in human history. In addition, they invented plow. This played a great role in helping their empire grow.

Epic of Gilgamesh; so-called Mesopotamian Odyssey begins with five short poems in Sumerian language about Gilgamesh, king of Uruk. It is known from tablets that were written during first half of 2nd Millennium BC. The poems have been entitled “Gilgamesh and Huwawa,” “Gilgamesh and the Bull of Heaven,” “Gilgamesh and Agga of Kish,” “Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and the Netherworld,” and “The Death of Gilgamesh.”

The sophistication of Sumerians is demonstrated by a clay tablet translated in 2015 showing that ancient astronomers made extremely accurate mathematical calculations for the orbit of Jupiter a full 1400 years before Europeans did. These extraordinary advances in Sumerian civilization so early in antiquity that made some researchers doubt Sumerian mythology and extrapolate so-called ancient astronaut or ancient alien theories about Anunnaki. Fringe theorists believe Sumerian deities were aliens from another planet that ruled the Sumerians, sharing their advanced knowledge and intelligence with them.

Researcher and author Michael Cremo (Forbidden Archaeology), Zecharia Sitchin, Erich von Däniken (Chariots of the Gods), author and researcher Michael Tellinger, and several others argue that Anunnaki were actually aliens posing as gods.

Some of these theories also assert these aliens genetically engineered human race to be a slave species, influencing human affairs for millennia. These off-world gods brought advanced technologies that account for sophisticated megastructures such as pyramids or Stonehenge. Tellinger claimed that Anunnaki extracted massive amounts of gold using human labor and introduced the concepts of money, finance, and debt to human societies.

Circumcision in Ancient Egypt.…

The Saqqara relief presents one of the clearest early surgical scenes in human history: a circumcision performed with precision by trained practitioners, depicted within an organized ritual setting that reflects the ancient Egyptians’ understanding of hygiene and preventive care.

Circumcision served as a marker of social transition, a symbol of discipline and purity, and a consistent practice tied to the Egyptian concept of a healthy body and religious identity.
A single scene… yet a profound testament to advanced medical and cultural awareness.

The relief at Saqqara (2400 BC, Tomb of Ankhmahor) is one of the oldest depictions of circumcision in human history. It shows practitioners performing the procedure with apparent ritual precision. Egyptians were known for their advanced medical practices. Circumcision was seen not only as a hygienic measure but also as part of their broader emphasis on bodily purity.

Religious & Social Role:

• A rite of passage marking transition into adulthood.

• A symbol of discipline, purity, and belonging within Egyptian society.

• Linked to the Egyptian concept of ma’at (order, balance, health).

The practice was not universal in the ancient world — Egypt stands out for institutionalizing it as both a medical and spiritual act. It reinforced the idea that health and ritual purity were inseparable, a theme consistent across Egyptian religion and daily life.

The Saqqara relief is more than a medical record; it’s a visual testament to the integration of science, ritual, and identity. That single carved scene is extraordinary because it shows early surgical knowledge (tools, trained practitioners). Preventive care awareness (hygiene and health). Cultural symbolism (discipline, purity, initiation).

Circumcision in Ancient Egypt was unique compared to other ancient cultures. Egyptians practiced it as a medical, social, and religious ritual, while in Israel it became a covenantal sign of identity, in Mesopotamia it was rare or absent, and in Greece it was often rejected or even ridiculed.
It’s rare in antiquity to see medicine and religion so explicitly intertwined in art — which is why scholars often highlight this relief as a milestone in medical history.

The mummy of king Tutankhamun was laid inside 3 coffins nested within each, with the innermost coffin made of 110.4 kg of solid gold. For the first time since his tomb was opened 100 years ago, the 3 coffins is being displayed together at the new Grand Egyptian Museum now

“All I see is blurbs, all I see is words
Nerds talkin' 'bout what they did, see or heard
And all I see is clones, see you motherfuckers
With mixtape plans, because they seein' how we movin'
And all they say is this, but they ain't sayin' shit
They talk reckless when I do not work for them
They say, "Come harder, come smarter, " which one it is?
Which one you wanna hear? Since you such a music wiz” Nas

Predator (1987) still rules because it shifts from macho action movie to pure survival horror without missing a beat. McTiernan turns the jungle into a pressure cooker, and every reveal of the creature hits like a new escalation.
