So, I am inherently an insatiably curious individual, and over the past few months that curiosity has exponentially increased just by completely opening my mind to the possibilities of alternate concepts. Im no conspiracy theorist, Im just choosing to look at new information I encounter as just that: new and unbiased information. Today I broke into quantum mechanics, new (i.e. no longer theoretical) forms of space/vacuum/ion propulsion, and spent a few hours reviewing briefs on scalar waves and zero-point energy. That led me a video that flashed a picture of various hieroglyphics which in turn focused my attention on the ankh (and more-so how nearly every single individual in a perceived position of authority had one in his/her hand. That brought me to Nur Ankh Amen's book (and eventually here). While he may be a trailblazer in his field (hopefully), or at the very least an expert or specialist to some extent in regard to the ankh, he should seriously consider re-releasing a condensed version of his book that removes a large majority of the aggression and focuses more on the actual science/history/attributes of the ankh. I was eager to read his book since the title suggested the book would be focused on the origins and perceived powers of the ankh. Wrong. Four pages in, and he cant make it through two sentences without referencing white invaders, foreigners stealing Africa’s secrets, spurning anyone not black, and weaving “subtle” (read: childish and wreaking of immaturity) jabs at any individual mentioned that isn’t 100% pure African. I came for the science and an in-depth knowledge of the supposed powers and properties of the ankh, not to read 60 out of 72 pages of “Blacks/Africans are Superior” and “The White Man Stole Everything”. Quick take-away: Speaking of your puzzling choice of dichotomy, here is quick pro-tip for your next Pulitzer attempt: Your recurring use of those two aggressively subjective (racist?) viewpoints is not only detrimental to building rapport/credibility with your reader, it’s also completely self-contradicting, factually unsound, and embarrassingly obtuse. In short, you can’t have it both ways. If Africans are so superior, then why did they allow foreigners to (supposedly) steal everything? Conversely, if foreigners have (again, supposedly) stolen all of the riches and innovations from Africans, then how can Africans be seen as “superior in every way”? Last nugget of insight: Patents only last 20 years, Dr. Farrakhan. How about instead of writing a 70 page temper tantrum (disguised as science) about how “Africans are superior, bu-but-but the world’s not fair!”, you should try using that “superiority” to develop beneficial inventions, product innovation, and patent improvements. Just a thought. Best, Thomas
