African Centered Tour of the Egyptian Wing of the Check Back for Scheduling
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Considered one of the "Big Three" museums for Ancient Egyptian Art, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art has one of the largest collections in the world. Included
stelae (used to create "holy water" prior to the Christian era) and the entire Temple
of Dendur. The Temple of Dendur was moved to the MET, block by block, from the
Nubian border during the creation of the Aswan High Dam.
Unfortunately, the museum also subtlety subverts the African origins of our Kemetic
ancestors. This tour will provide a general overview of Ancient Kemetic history while
re-contextualizing Kemet as an African nation. It's contributions to world civilization
are unparalleled.
We will accomplish 3 objectives on this tour:
1) Develop an intimate portrayal of our ancient ancestors
2) Describe the 5 major periods of Ancient Egyptian History and Art
3) Identify and debunk the museum's subtle portrayal of the Ancient
Egypt as a non-African nation
Your tour will run approximately 3 hours and will cost $30 for adults and $20
for students. Please RSVP as soon as possible as limited spaces are
available. Pay via PayPal or by cash or money order on site. Please meet in
the museum lobby at least 15 minutes prior!

Sacred Sex in Ancient Kemet Tour of the Check Back for Scheduling
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY)
Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY)
Any discussion on Kemet without a proper description of Kemetic sexuality is
incomplete. balance of the universe. It allowed the never-ending cycle of birth,
death, and rebirth to continue. Our engaging and provocative tour, Sacred Sex in
Ancient Kemet is conducted at the world-renown Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET).
We will accomplish 3 major objectives on this tour:
1) We will outline the major creation myths and develop a
comprehensive description of divine sexuality. Unlike Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, Ancient Kemet's Neteru (misnomered "gods")
are paired with a male or female counterpart. Sex amongst these divine
characters led to the creation and maintenance of the universe.
2) We will investigate the history and norms of human sexual
relationships. The tour will answer critically important questions. Was
premarital sex acceptable? Did couples use protection (condoms,
etc.)? Were there same-sex relationships? Did Ancient Kemetic woman
have pregnancy tests? Could they tell the gender of their child during
pregnancy?
3) We will uncover the secret sexual code hidden in Ancient Kemetic
art. Millions of people diligently visit collections Ancient Egyptian
artifacts on virtually every continent, but very few realize that encoded
in many of these works are ancient sexual symbolism. We will utilize the
MET's incredible collection and the images of collections around the
world to illuminate these arcane symbols.
Your tour will run approximately 3 hours and will cost $30 for adults and $20
for students. Please RSVP as soon as possible as limited spaces are
available. Pay via PayPal or by cash or money order on site. Please meet in
the museum lobby at least 15 minutes prior!
As this tour will discuss the issues of sex and sexuality, if you intend to
bring children under the age of 16, PARENTAL GUIDANCE IS ADVISED.

Ancient Egypt: Birthplace of Christianity Saturday, December 17, 2011 at 2 PM
Tour of the Egyptian Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY, NY)
Tour of the Egyptian Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NY, NY)
When people think of the most important religious concepts of such as divine birth
and even resurrection, they automatically think that these ideas originated with
Christianity roughly 2,000 years ago. In actuality they were first conceived in the
spiritual and philosophical works of Ancient Kemet, the crown jewel of early
civilization. In fact the rise of early Christian church was directly responsible for
extinguishing the Kemetic language in the fourth century AD in order to prevent the
linking of its beginnings to this ancient "pagan" tradition. When Jean-François
Champollion was finally able to publish the first correct translation of the Medu Neter
(hieroglyphics) in 1822, the spiritual traditions of Ancient Kemet were able to be
interpreted after nearly 1,500 years of silence.
Join the Center for the Restoration of Ma'at for an informative and provocative
discussion of the Kemetic origins of Christianity as we tour the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. The tour will not only focus on the museum's impressive Ancient Egyptian
collection of over 26,000 artifacts, but will also sections of the Greek and Roman
galleries. Over the course of our engaging afternoon, we will paint a comprehensive
picture of Kemetic spirituality while describing the birth of Christianity in the
Mediterranean. Is this tour appropriate for Christians? Absolutely! Our inquiry is not
focused on dismantling Christianity. We hope all participants will have an
appreciation for its African origins at the conclusion. After all, "To be ignorant of the
past is to remain a child".
Your tour will run approximately 3 hours and will cost $30 for adults and $20
for students. Please RSVP as soon as possible as limited spaces are
available. Pay via PayPal or by cash, money order, or credit on site. Please
meet in the museum lobby at least 15 minutes prior!
