    About this ebook

    Hotep is a word associated with recognizing that there is a Creative Force eminent in all things. Hotep deals with the commemoration of the ancestors, some of whom are great figures that stand out in history, such as Imhotep, the worlds first known multigenius and true father of medicine; Ptahhotep, the author or the worlds oldest book of instruction; Neithhotep, the First Dynasty queen and wife of Pharoah Mena; and Amenhotep, who designed the Ipet-Isut Temple in the west.

    All the major Western religions teach that man wound up being cast out of his heavenly abode due to womans ungodly act of enticing him to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thereby incurring the wrath of God.

    The Meaning of Hotep traces the historical records that have left an indelible proof that before God was conceived of in his masculine forms that are known of in the worlds today, God was, primarily, a woman.

    The Meaning of Hotep presents evidence that the Ten Commandments existed long before Moses and the Psalms before David. This book is for anyone interested in learning about spirituality in general.

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      All praise is due to Neter - Neteru, the Creator of everything in existence. I would also like to give recognition to the ancestors who gave the world its first humanity and transcribed most of it for us to follow once we rediscover it. I would also like to thank my Nubian Brothers and Sisters throughout the universe for recognizing that it is we who must follow in the footsteps of our ancestors in order to set things right.

      INTRODUCTION

      THE MEANING OF THE WORD ‘HOTEP’

      In order for one to begin to understand the spiritual, cultural and political significance of the word ‘Hotep’ and its relation to Afrikan people, there are basic questions that need to be answered; such as, who are the people who coined the word? What language is used to express it? What is its true meaning? And how can one word be utilized to convey a spiritual, cultural and political message which has the ability to transcend dimensions of time and space?

      The word ‘Hotep’ was fashioned by the indigenous Afrikans of antiquity living along the Nile Valley who are commonly referred to today as Nubians, Kushites, Ethiopians, Egyptians and Sudanese. However, it was the civilization of Nubia that gave birth to the language of the Metu Neter or Words of God, otherwise known as hieroglyphics (hiero = sacred) + (glyphs = writings). And it is in this language of Metu Neter that the word ‘Hotep’ has been preserved.

      The Senegalese born ancestor Cheikh Anta Diop put it best when he said, "If one desires to study Afrikan history thoroughly, they must also study prehistory." He also said that as Afrikan people, we must return to the ancient Nile Valley culture in order that it may play the same role in the rethinking and renewing of Afrikan culture that ancient Greece and Rome play in the culture of the West. Such statements are as valid in this day and time as they were when they were originally made.

      Nile Valley culture and civilizations culminated in the civilization of Kemet, The Black Land currently known as Egypt. And it is through their contact with Kemet that the nations of Greece and Rome became civilized. The knowledge of this is what led the academic hypocrites of the western world to advance the claim that the civilization of Kemet was the product of an Asiatic or European foundation. At the time when these lies were growing popular in the 18th and the 19th century, Afrikans the world over were experiencing the dehumanizing effects of the European slave trade. So from the racist Eurocentric point of view that was prevalent during that epoch, it would have been against their conniving capitalist interests to reveal that this great civilization was established by the same people that they reduced in their minds to being subhuman. The rationale that fueled this propaganda was based on the assumption that the Europeans could not successfully enslave the Afrikans and recognize their history at the same time because they would also have to recognize their humanity. As a result of this, the Afrikan contributions to civilization were suppressed and institutional racism was born. The Nile Valley civilization of Kemet was not the first great civilization on the continent of Afrika. Neither was Kemet, the last great civilization on the continent of Afrika. What makes Kemet so important a focal point to Afrikan people is that Kemet reached an apex that the other civilizations in Afrika did not, and it is in this region now known as Egypt in lower Kemet where most of the artifacts have been preserved, discovered and claimed by grave robbers, plunderers and thugs under the guise of Egyptology, archaeology, modern day science and etc.

      The Nile River is the world’s longest river and extends approximately 4,160 miles. Its original name is the Hapi and its sources are the Blue Nile which contributes seventy percent of its water, and the White Nile that contributes the rest. The Nile is the only major river in the world besides the Amazon River in South America to flow from up south to down north. According to the ancient papyrus of Hunefer, we came from the beginning of the Nile where the God Hapi dwells, at the foothills of the mountains of the moon. A great amount of people of Afrikan descent claim to be original people and state that they existed in a mental form prior to the physical, but if you were to ask them where did they originate in physical form geographically, the majority will be unable to give the precise answer. Others will generalize and say Asia or Afrika. However, when we pay close attention to the information contained in the writings of our ancestors, we will find that they convey sound information and alleviate the need for guesswork. The mountain of the moon, Mount Kilimanjaro in Kiswahili, and Rwenzori Mountain in the Buganda language is located on the borders of Tanzania and Kenya, and at 19,340 feet, it is the tallest mountain in Afrika. It has an ice cap at the top which melts and contributes to the lakes and rivers which in turn, flow into the white Nile. In the ancient language of Metu Neter, this region was called Ta Neter or Land of God and recognized as the ancestral birthplace where Afrikan people literally sprung from the soil itself, thereby giving them the title autochthon. And it is in the regions of Laetoli Kenya and Hadar Ethiopia where the oldest remains of the ancestors have been found.

      What does all of this have to do with the word ‘Hotep’ and how does it relate one might ask? To begin with, although one of the definitions of the word ‘Hotep’ is peace, it is not merely a universal greeting. It is a word associated with recognizing that there is a Creative Force imminent in all things, most importantly ourselves, and drawing from this force that exists within, as taught by our predecessors, rather than seeking refuge in foreign God concepts that have only served to divide, subdue and pacify us individually and collectively, which ultimately has stagnated our spiritual, cultural and political solidarity. On a cultural level, it deals with the commemoration of the ancestors, some of whom are great figures that stand out in Afrikan history. Such as Imhotep, the world’s first known multi genius and true father of medicine, Ptahhotep, the author of the world’s oldest book of instruction, Neithhotep, the first Dynasty Queen and wife of Pharaoh, Mena, and Amenhotep, son of Hapu, who designed the Ipet Isut (Karnak) Temple in the West (Luxor).

      The word ‘Hotep’ also has a significant meaning on a political level. Afrikans all over the globe have experienced slavery, colonialism and neocolonialism at the hands of oppressors who seek to exercise dominance and control over the world’s labor, land and resources by any means necessary. Therefore, we must master the traditions of our ancestors, stay true to our concepts of Afrikan nationalism, meticulously study our oppressors and their oppressive tactics, and fight for our international independence until it is ultimately obtained.

      CHAPTER ONE

      THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD ‘HOTEP’

      The word ‘Hotep’ is rooted in the ancient Nubian Metu Neter language which translates as the Writings or words of God. In this day and age, the language is more commonly referred to as hieroglyphics, (hiero = holy or sacred) + (glyphs = carvings or writings). Its modes of expression are numerous signs and symbols that were used to convey a message rather than the grammatical way that is currently utilized by western languages. When learning English grammar, one is taught the spelling of words by use of
