ich were 51°51΄ instead of the regular 60° for an equilateral triangle. However, he then discovered that if he divided the perimeter of the pyramid by twice its height it gave him the quotient of 3.144 which is remarkably close to the value of or Pi (which is approximately equal to 3.14159). In other words the height of the pyramid was in relation to the perimeter of its base as the radius of a circle is to its circumference. The significance of understanding the pyramid’s relation to a circle is for the benefit of knowing how the Kemetic people understood the planet. For Taylor, the people of Kemet knew that the globe was a sphere; however, what was their unit of measurement? Taylor found that units such as the British foot fitted neither the height nor the base exactly; he needed a unit that retained the Pi proportion and fit the pyramid in whole numbers. When he came to 366:115.5 he was struck by the similarity of 366 to the number of days in a year and wanted to see if there was a correlation. Specifically, could the perimeter of the pyramid be divided into units of the solar year? By using a unit developed by Britain’s Sir John Herschel at the beginning of the nineteenth century that was half a human hair’s breadth longer than a British inch (the most earth-commensurable unit), Taylor was able to deduce that the perimeter was 100 times 366. Moreover, when he divided the base by 25 inches he obtained the same 366 result. Taylor’s conclusion was that the proportions of the pyramids had no doubt been intended to incorporate geometric and astronomical laws simply and easily with the purpose of preservation for future generations. It is important understand that when discussing the development of civilizations, no matter which civilization, one must always start with Africa; in the case of Europe this is no different. Many have given false and incorrect praise to the ancient empires of Greece when discussing the philosophical and religious development and rise of Europe. The ancient Kemetic higher education system was old and grey before the Greek Heroic age existed, before the city states existed, before Greece as a nation existed, indeed before the famed Greek scholars existed. The easy way to show this is to look at Greece and Kemet at 2000 B.C.E. There was no textbook in Greece at that time, but the Ahmes (Rhind) Mathematical Papyrus material existed, with problems in geometry and trigonometry. Wisdom literature was much older than that, such as the teachings of Ptahotep. Architecture and astronomy are manifested in the even more ancient pyramids, tombs, and temples. In fact, full university curricula in grammar (MDW NTR, known as the hieroglyphs by the Greeks), mathematics, sciences, arts, literature of many types, and philosophy as well. The Greek record itself is full of references to the priority of Kemetic scholarship, and to it as a source for Greek scholar's study. As Solon was told by the scholars of Kemet, the Greeks were children in the "mystery systems" (how European scholars described Kemetic education system) even in the knowledge of the history of Greece itself. Incidentally, Greece’s first written literature, The Iliad and The Odyssey, did not appear until around 800 B.C.E.This is further evidenced by the diagrams below (Figures A and B) supposedly created by Aristotle. Aristotle entitled his diagram to outline his philosophy on the principle of opposites the "Four Humors". Traditional academe, and Aristotle himself, has posited that this philosophy was created without any influence from the people of Kemet who he studied from in the "mystery systems". This philosophy of opposites has been significantly intrinsic to the study of "Greek Philosophy" by Western academics for the past 200 years. However, the first known "Greek Philosopher" is Thales is said to be born in 600 B.C. yet the principle of opposites can be seen in Kemet as early as 4100 B.C. It must be stated emphatically that the people of Kemet were undeniably Black and identified as such. Cheikh Anta Diop shows that every eyewitness account of the the people of Kemet formally and undeniably point to the fact that they were Black. He shows how Herodotus insisted on the "Negro character" of these people and even points to indirect demonstrations. For example, to prove that the flooding of the Nile cannot be caused by melting snow, he cites the observation that that "it is certain that the natives of the country are black with the heat."Beyond this personal testimony, Diop also carried out a step-by-step process to show that the people of Kemet were Black. 1) Evidence from physical anthropology showed that the skeletons and skulls of the Kemetic people clearly reflect that they were Negroid people with features very similar to those of modern Black Nubians and other people of the Upper Nile and of East Africa. 2) Diop’s Melanin Dosage Test was a method for determining the level of melanin in the skin of human beings. When conducted on the mummies in the Museum of Man in Paris, this test indicated these remains were of Black people. 3) Osteological evidence was gathered through the "Lepsius canon", which distinguishes the bodily proportions of various racial groups, categorizes the "ideal Egyptian" as short-armed and of "Negroid or a Negrito physical type". 4) Evidence taken from blood types notes that even after hundreds of years of inter-mixture with foreign invaders, the blood type of modern Egyptians is the same group B as the populations of western Africa on the Atlantic seaboard and not the A2 Group characteristic of the white race prior to any crossbreeding. 5) The people of Kemet saw themselves as Black as they had only one term to designate themselves: KMT, which literally translates to Black. This is the strongest term existing in the Pharaonic tongue to indicate Blackness. The term is a collective noun which thus described the whole people of Pharaonic Kemet as a black people. 6) Diop demonstrates that Black is the divine epithet invariably used for the chief beneficent Gods of Egypt, while the evil spirits were depicted as red. 7) Evidence from the Bible shows that the sons of Ham, father of Black people, were Cush (Ethiopia), Mizraim (Kemet or Egypt), and Phut (Somalia) and Canaan (Palestine). 8) Kemet’s cultural unity with the Rest of Africa was shown through a study of circumcision and totemism. Diop gives detailed data showing cultural unity between Kemet and the rest of Africa. 9) Linguistic unity with Southern and Western Africa also demonstrates that Ancient Kemet, modern Coptic of Egypt and Wolof of Senegal are related, with the latter two having their origin in the former.Truthful information about the history of the land now known as Egypt will definitely shed light on why there is so much confusion about this most studied region. The people of Kemet were not only highly advanced in terms of science, mathematics, and astronomy but they were able to transmit this to the entire world including Europe. Furthermore, it cannot be overstated that these people were Black which can be evidenced through all discernible fields of study. Therefore, for the study of Kemet to be brought into its proper light these facts must never be removed from the focal point.WHO WERE THE PEOPLE OF KEMET?HOW THE WEST WAS BORNWhen discussing the history of Africa and its contribution to world civilizations none is more popular then Kemet, which is modern-day Egypt. However, the immense focus on Egypt has also led to much distortion and confusion about this fantastically historical land. Those who have an interest in creating confusion about Egypt have done so with regards to several facets of life. Specifically, what were their creations and were they of their own doing? This question will be the focus of this paper.THE SCIENCE OF THE PYRAMIDSIt is undeniable that one of the greatest creations of mankind is the pyramids of Kemet. These beautiful structures have amazed archeologists, anthropologists, astronomers, scientists, mathematicians, and historians for many different reasons. To this day the very concept of measurement can be directly tied to the building of the pyramids and their proportion to the rest of the planet. John Taylor, a poet and essayist from the late eighteenth century, was one of the first people of the modern era to set about to determine what mathematical or geometrical formulas could be derived from the pyramids. His first discovery was the measurements of the face of the pyramids, wh
