excerpt of chapter 1 (Africa Our Globe
When you look at the shape of the African continent you will see the profile of a human skull. When I came to see deeper into the geographical contour and interior of the skull shaped African continent, it moved me to research the various functions of the human brain. What I discovered was astounding.
The brain is theoretically divided into areas referred to as pre-frontal, frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital and cerebellum. When I laid a diagram of the human brain onto the African skull shaped continent, they seem to fit perfectly as shown on the cover of this book.
According to the Christian bible, Golgotha means: The place of the skull. The bible says of Golgotha, “And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, the place of the skull. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.” (Mark 15:22-24) Could it also be that Golgotha represents Africa and its ancient people who were torn apart through war and Colonialization? It is my belief that a compelling fulfillment of the above biblical passage occurred during the 1880’s when European powers scrambled to steal Africa’s resources. When Europe seized upon Africa’s resources and ”they parted his (Africa) garments (resources), casting lots upon them, what every man (European power) should take” they were carrying out (Mark 15:22-24).
The Scramble for Africa, also known as the Race for Africa, was the proliferation of conflicting European claims to African territory during the “New Imperialism period.” The last 20 years of the 19th century saw the transition from "informal imperialism" of control through military influence and economic dominance to that of direct rule. Attempts to mediate imperial competition, such as the Berlin Conference (1884-1885) between Britain, France and Germany, failed to establish definitively the competing powers' claims.
The Berlin Conference of 1884–85 regulated European colonization and trade in Africa during the New Imperialism period, and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power. Called for by Portugal and organized by Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of Germany, its outcome, the General Act of the Berlin Conference, is often seen as the formalization of the Scramble for Africa. The conference ushered in a period of heightened colonial activity on the part of the European powers, while simultaneously eliminating most existing forms of African autonomy and self-governance.
Political tampering with the land and ancient people of Africa by European powers played a major role into Africa’s present woes. Since then, she has been under the influence of a diabolical rule and scheme of an evil child-like mind for centuries. Until this day, Africa’s declaration of independence, during the 1960’s, has not set Africa free from the damage of European mischief making through colonialization. Africa’s thinking has yet to be repaired!
