ETHIOPIAN EMPIRE ADOPTED CHRISTIANITY MORE THAN 100 YEARS BEFORE CONSTANTINE DID

year 312 CE, more than one-hundred (100) years after the indigeneous Africans 
("Negroes" etc.) of the Empire of the Kush (Ethiopia), East Africa, had already 
estabilshed Christianity as the official religion of their empire.

CHRISTIANITY INTRODUCED INTO NORTHERN AFRICA CIRCA 180 CE
Approximately sixny-five years after the Cyrenaica rebellion in 115 CE, and sometime 
before July 180 CE, Christianity was introduced into Nortwest Africa. This date is 
approximately true, because there never was any mention of Christians there before 
in any of the records of the Roman imperial government that colonized the area. The 
first mention of Christians came about with the martyrdom of their numbers on 17 
July 180 CE...They were five women and seven men - twelve in all. Amongst these 
martyrs was their twenty-two year old leader, the person responsible for the total 
action of the group. She was a married woman, and the mother of one child. This 
woman - Perpetua - was also of indigeneous African birth...amongst these earliest of
Christian slaves (of every color) were Peurpetua's brother and the same Felicita
mentioned before, of whom it was said: "Her ordeal caused the premature birth of her
only child a few hours before her death as a martyr for Jesus Christ...," etc....And
in her honor a chapel named "St. Perpetua" was built. It still stands at waht was the
center of the ancient African City of Carthage s presently a part of Tunisia.

SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN FORMERLY CALLED THE ETHIOPIAN OCEAN UNTIL LATE 18TH CENTURY
During this period the present "South Atlantic Ocean" was called "Ethiopian Ocean". Only
that which is today called "North Atlantic Ocean" was considered in this manner. The
"Ethiopian Ocean" appeared on maps made by European chartists and cartographers until the
latter part of the 18th century CE. See Black Men of the Nile, by Yosey ben-Jochannan,
pp. 266-268, for maps showing these conditions.

AUGUSTINE'S WRITINGS ARE DISTINCTLY AFRICAN, BUT STILL VERY ACCESSIBLE TO EUROPEANS
The Church in Africa had produced great men before this day; the writings of Tertullian 
and St. Cyprian both testify to its keen intellectual vitality; but neither achieved his 
stature - the last and noblest product of Roman African civilization. We learn a great 
deal about that civilization from the Confessions, the product of a mentality strikingly 
sympathetic to the European mind, though bearing the imprint of its African origin...St. 
Augustine is far more comprehensible to a European audience today than are most 
contemporary North African authors.

IS IT REALISTIC THAT ARISTOTLE, WHO WROTE NO BOOKS PRIOR TO INVASION OF EGYPT, 
TO SUDDENLY WROTE OVER 1000?
...Was it possible for Aristotle who was never known to have written a single 
book before he left his native Greece to suddenly write over one-thousand books 
after he joined Alexander "the great" in the invasion and conquest of Egypt in 
332 BCE?

AUGUSTINE'S LIKELY INFLUENCED PHILOSOPHICALLY BY GROWING UP AND LIVING IN AFRICA 
FOR 28 YEARS
To say that St. Augustine's expressions in any, or all, of the works were 
developed, only as a result of his studies under the "Latin Church Fathers," and 
in particular - St. Ambrose...would be to ignore his earliest experiences with 
his father's religion in his native city of Tahgeste - Numidia, North Africa. It 
would be also ignoring it. Augustine's own background as a young man in 
Carthage, North Africa. And of course it would be willfully overlooking the 
depth of his own involvement with his mother - Monica - and his son Adeodatus...
As stated before; except for St Augustine'- "Confessions" there is very little, 
if any, information available on his father, Patricus, his mother - Monica and 
his son - Adeodatus died at a very young age; this too is missing from 
Augustine's story.

LAS CASAS CONVINCED POPE AND SPANISH KING TO ENDORSE CHATTEL SLAVERY TRADE IN 
INDIGENOUS AFRICANS
Right Reverend Bartolome de Las Casas (1474-1566 CE) got King Charles I of Spain 
and Pope Clement VII (Guido de Medici) to endorse the inauguration of the famous 
chattel slave trade that introduced the genocidal depopulation of the entire 
continent of Africa (Alkebu'lan) and the forced migration of millions of 
Africans to the "New World" (the Caribbeans and the Americas), which to a great 
extent continues today.

BILAL AND EARLY MUSLIMS TORTURED BY THE QUR'AISH
Sir William Muir, in his book, Life of Mohamet, London 1894, wrote the following 
about Bilal's strength in the "new religion" (Islam) he developed and helped to 
create and expand "...in the name of Allah:" 'They were seized and imprisoned, 
or they were exposed to the scorching gravel of the valley, to the intense glare 
of the midday sun. The torment was increased by intolerable thirst until the 
wretched sufferers hardly knew what was said. If under the torture they reviled 
Mohamet and acknowledged the idols of Mecca, they were refreshed with draughts 
of water and taken to their homes. Bilal alone escaped the shame of recantation. 
He would not yield. In the depths of his anguish the persecutors could force 
from him but one cry: Abad! Abad! (One, only one God).'
