First Black Inventors
Elements 4 Nature made a Black History Timeline that goes back and traces Black inventions 250k BC to the present. However this particular page will highlight the early inventions by our Black African people. You can purchase the Elements 4 Nature Black History Timeline Banner (60'X24").
Civilization and Science started in the Nile Valley of Ancient Egypt by Black African People
Black people or African people with a high level of melanin were the first inventors of recorded history. The Ancient Egyptians were Black African people who controlled and ruled ancient Egypt for all but a few late dynasties. Most of the significant inventions were created in the early dynasties of ancient Egypt. African-Americans who currently live in the United States are direct descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Egypt is located in North Africa and is the birthplace of science, philosophy, mathematics, architecture, engineering, religion, astronomy and astronomy. The most famous Black inventor in ancient times was Imhotep. Imhotep built and designed the first pyramid called the Step Pyramid of Djoser. He was the first architect in all of history.
Not only was he the first architect but he was the first physician. Imhotep invented the Stethoscope. Imhotep was the first multi-genius in history. Black African people living in the Nile Valley were the first mathematicians. The mathematical symbol of Pi=3.14 was used in the computation and the construction of the pyramids built in Egypt. Black African people were the ones who designed and built the Great Pyramids of Giza. As identified in the Elements 4 Nature Black History timeline, the Great Pyramids of Giza was built in the year of 2258 BC. This will crush the false claim by the European Jews that they built the Great pyramids of Giza. The first Jew, Abraham, was not born until 2150 BC. Now you tell me how can you build something before you were born? In Addition, Abraham was a Black Jew from Ethiopia. Judaism was founded by the Black Jews of Ethiopia. So however you look at it, Black African people built the Great Pyramids of Giza. The Great Pyramids of Giza are today one of the seven wonders of the world. Elements 4 Nature is recognizing Black Inventors of ancient times and Black inventors of modern times. As you can see on the Elements 4 Nature Black History Timeline, even the collective enslavement of Black African people could not stop us from making inventions in modern times.
Dr. Ben: The Historian GOAT
Dr. Ben is the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) Black Historian. He was an Egyptologist and Historian. He is the first Black Egyptologist to conduct excavations in Egypt. He is also an expert in African-American history. This particular video clip is during his appearance at Tuskegee University.
Imhotep's Step Pyramid
Imhotep designed the first pyramid in history called the Step Pyramid. Imhotep was the first multi-genius in history. He designed the Stethoscope.
Sphinx
The Great Sphinx of Giza is a picture of a God King with the body of a lion located adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza. The Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza is located in Cairo, Egypt.

Ancient Black African Scientist Discoveries: Medical Text Papyri
The Philosophical concept of medicine can be best seen in eight different papyri produced by the ancient Black Egyptians. Obviously, theses names are hypocritical. All bear names and titles of "Westerners" who had nothing whatsoever to do with these writings either except as the illegal possessor of these books caused by the colonial ravaging of ancient Egypt and other High-Cultures of Black African people in the Nile Valley. Starting from the time of the Hyksos/Shepherd Kings of Beduina invasion and the conquest of Egypt's Delta Region ca. 1675 BC to the present.
Note: This information obtained from Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan's Book: Abu SimBel to Ghizeh.

Ancient Black African Scientist Discoveries: Mathematical Papyri
The Great Pyramids of Giza were built in ancient Egypt around 2,258 BC. The mathematical symbol "Pi" (Pi=3.14) was used in the design and construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza. Pi is defined as the mathematical ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi was documented in some of Egypt's papyri as early as 1850 BC. Pi is also recorded in the Rhind Mathematics Papyrus dated in 1650 BC. The ancient Black Egyptians used another high-level math theorem called the Egyptian Right Angle Theorem. The Egyptian Right Angle Theorem is recorded in the Berlin Papyrus dated back in 1350 BC. However Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician is given credit for the right angle theorem by those who suppress Black African people's accomplishments. The Egyptian Right Angle Theorem was used for hundreds of years before Pythagoras (570-495 BC) was born.

The History of Modern Scientific Discoveries
All of the modern scientific laws and theories discovered by European scientists was done after the invasion and colonization of the African continent. The colonization of Africa began around 1415, when the Portuguese invaded and conquered the port city of Ceuta in North Africa. Why are the majority of European advance scientific discoveries took place after the invasion and colonization of the African continent by Europeans? The answer is because most if not all of these advance scientific laws and theories were stolen from the Africa continent by European scientists. The first European countries to invade and start colonizing certain parts of the African continent started with Portugal in 1415 followed by Spain in 1496, France in 1500 and Great Britain in 1604. This was also the start of the African Slave trade from the 15th through the 19th centuries. Where well over over 15 million Black African people lost their lives in what turn out to be the greatest atrocity done to any group of people in all of recorded history. Another 50 million Black Africans were killed in the southern tip of South African. Another 25 million were killed in the Congo from European colonialization and countless millions in other African countries. And don't forget the Arab slave trade, that killed millions of our Black African people and strip the identity collectively from us. Today, we still have not collectively recovered. We lost our original names, language and culture. We now identify with European or Arab religions.

Dr. Ben
The greatest Egyptologist and historian ever! In this particular video clip, he talks about the number of lives Black African lost and is still losing under European and Arab control.
Dr. Khalid Muhammad
Dr. Khalid Muhammed was an intellectual soldier. One of the greatest orators or speakers we ever had. This particular lecture focused on ancient Kemet. This particular video clip highlighted our collective lack of identity as African-Americans.
Malcolm X
The greatest orator and studied historian in modern times. In this particular video clip, Malcolm highlights the fact that the X in his name is an unknown like in a mathematical equation. He told the reporter our original names were taken away during slavery.

The Berlin Conference Destabilized the African Continent
The Berlin Conference was conducted in 1884. The Berlin Conference is where 14 major western countries decided to colonized the interior of Africa by dividing up the land among each other. The whole of Africa was divided into 50 countries. At the time of the conference that was held in Germany, 80% of the African continent remained under traditional and local control. These Europeans nations exploited the Black African people and took control of Africa's rich natural resources.
