This text taken from "The Wisdom of Isis" by Dr. Muata Ashby.
The ancient Egyptian (kemetics) religion (Shetaut Neter) language and symbols provide the first "historical" record of Yoga Philosophy and Religious literature. Egyptian Yoga is what has been commonly reffered to by Egyptologists as Egyptian "Religion" or "Mythology" but to think of it as just another set of stories or allegories about a long lost civilization is to completely miss the greates secret of human existence. Yoga in all of it's forms and disciplines of spiritual development was practiced in Egypt earlier than anywhere else in history. The unigque perspective from the highest philosophical sustem which developed in Africa over seven thousand years ago provides a new way to look at life, religion, the discipline of psychology and the way to spiriutal development leading to spiritual Enlightenment. Egyptian mythology, when understood as a system of Yoga (union of the individual soul with the Universal Soul or Supreme Conciousness). gives every individual insight into thier own divine nature and also a deeper insight into all religions and Yoga systems.

Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian) writes in the time of Augustus (first century b.c.):
"Now the Ethiopians, as historians relate, were the first of all men and the proofs of this statement, they say are manifest. For that they did not come into their land as immigrants from abroad but were the natives of it and so justly bear the name of autochthones (sprung from the soil itself), is, they maintain conceded by practically all men..."
"They also say that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Asar having been the leader of the colony. For speaking generally, what is now Egypt, they maintain was not land but sea, when in the beginning the univers was being formed: afterwards, however as the Nile during the times of its inundation carried down the mud from Ethiopia, land was gradually built up from the deposit... And the larger parts of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonist still preserving their ancient manners. For instance, the belief that their kings are that their kings are gods, the very special attention which they pay to theri burials and many other matters of a similar nature, are Ethiopian practices, while the shapes of their statues and the forms of their letters are Ethiopian: for of the two kinds of writing which the Egyptians have, that which is known as popular (demotic) is learned by everyone while that which is called sacred (heiractic), is understood only by the priest of the Egyptians, who learnt it from their fathers as one of the things which are not divulged, but among the Ethiopians everyone uses these forms of letters. Furthermore, the orders of the priest, they maintian, have much the same position among both peoples: for all are clean who are engaged in the service of the gods, keeping themselves shaven, like the Ethiopian priest and having the same dress and form of staff, which is shaped like a plough and is carried by their kings who wear high felt hats which end in a knob in the top and are circled by the serpents which they call asps: and this symbol appears to carry the thought that it will be the tlot who shall dare to attack the king to encouter death-carying strings. Many other things are told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that became the Egyptians, but about this there is no speicial need of our writing anythings."

The Ancient Egyptian texts state:
"Our people originated at the base of the mountain of the Moon, at the origin of the Nile river."
"KMT" "Egypt" "Burnt" "Land of Blackness" "Land of the burnt people."
KMT (ancient egypt) is situated close to Lake Victoria in present day Africa. this is the same location where the earliest human remains have been found, in the land currently known as Ethiopian Tanzania. Recent genetic technology as reported inthe new encyclopedias and leading news publication has revealed that all peoples of the world originated in Africa and migrated to other parts of the world prior to the last Ice Age 40,000 years ago. Therefore as of this time genetic testing has revealed that all humans are alike. The earliest bone fossils which have been found in many parts of the world were those of the African Grimaldi type. During the Ice Age, it was not possible to communicate or to migrate. Those trapped in specific locations were subject to the regional forces of weather and climate. Less warmer climates required less body pigment, thereby producing lighter pigmented people who now differed from their dark skinned ancestors. After the Ice Age when travel was possible, these light-skinned people who had lived in the norther, colder regions of harsh weather during the Ice age period moved back to the warmer climates of their ancestors and mixed with the people there wwho had remained dark skinned, thereby producing the Semitic colored people. "Semite" means mixture of skin color shades.
