Grand Rising Fam. 39 days til the BIG MOVE!!

I'm baffled how wipipo allegedly went to the moon over 50 years ago using landline (home phone technology) and up to this day, with technology 100 times more powerful in an adroid phone than a rocket had in 1968 (so basically, they can send a space vehicle to the moon using just the tech from android phones) but those mf's can't "go back" to the moon...lol 😆. Added to that, they now have "super fasr" computers that can solve millions of problems in seconds. So can someone tell me wtf is really going on? 👀. Even Buzz Aldrin admits that he never went to the moon...🌝

Ancient Names of Africa...

Before the European settled for the word Africa, the continent was called many other names. They include Corphye, Ortigia, Libya, Ethiopia and Alkebulan

Other names such as the Land of Ham (Ham means dark skins), Mother of Mankind, the Garden of Eden, Kingdoms in the Sky, and the Land of Cush or Kesh (referring to the Cushites who were ancient Ethiopian) were used. No one knows the source of the names for sure. However, the theories below shed some light on how this second largest continent got its new name.

Roman theory:

Some scholars believe that the word originated from the Romans. Romans discovered(?) a land opposite the Mediterranean and named it after the Berber tribe residing within the Carnage area, presently referred to as Tunisia. The tribe's name was Afri.

Weather theory:

Some believe that the name was coiled from the continent's climate. Deriving from Aphrike, a Greek word that means a land free from cold and horror. A variation of the Roman word Sprica, which means sunny, or even the Phoenician word Afar, which means Dust.

Africus Theory:

This claims that the continent derived its name from Africus. Africus is a Yemenite chieftain who invaded the northern part in the second millennium BC, It is argued that he settled on his conquered land and named it Afrikyah.

Phoenician Theory:

Another school of thought suggests that the name is derived from two Phoenician words Friqi and Pharika. The words mean Corns and Fruits when translated. Hypothetically the Phoenician christened the continent as the Land of Corns and Fruits.

Alkebu-lan “Mother of Mankind” or “Garden of Eden”.” Alkebulan is the oldest and the only word of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans (Carthagenians) and Ethiopians.

There is little or no certainty on the source or meaning Africa. Several scholars have tried to explain the origin of the word, but none is convincingly correct.
