KMT: Indigenous African Populations (2025, 950 pages with mainly color).  A comprehensive color picture book.  Details the foundational African populations indigenous to the Nile Valley and what became ancient Kmt---in living color.  

Early on by 4236bc, African Kmt the city-states were conquered and consolidated into the first federal Nation, then a regional republic and later territorial empire. Increased crop yields, surpluses, and wealth led to larger and larger cities, increased populations, and greater surpluses of foot, fiber and materials.  Education grew out of a need to sum up what had been learned as to pass it to the next generation in a concise, condensed yet accurate form.  Huge temples were built, universities of higher learning were in each major Kmt city.  Science was taught as math, geometry, physics, chemistry, medicine, agriculture, astronomy, trigonometry, algebra, engineering, urban planning, project management, ka, statecraft, Maat and ethic.  Kmt buildings, carved underground, out of mountains, and in deserts expressed exquisite achievements in architecture, engineering, plane geometry, and fine arts.  The gold works , silver, semi-precious metals, ivory, and curved furniture unrivalled in antiquity and even in modern times. Writing and reckoning were first and foremost technologies with African origins established by 3900bc.  Advanced knowledge in architecture, construction engineering, planning, agricultural cultivation and land redistribution, city planning, civil engineering, road building and maintenance, lake and river management, record keeping, political administration, economic transactions, calendrical exactitude, architectural and engineering projects, agricultural management, medicine and healing were all first developed in Ancient African Kmt. 

Kmt had the most advanced engineering capability in ancient history.  In fact even the modern Japanese could not master the engineering necessary to build a 40 foot pyramid, and surely not the 40-story 2.5 million stone Great pyramid built over 5000 years ago.  It math, engineering, architecture, and urban planning sciences are the most developed in world history.  All of the civilization of antiquity put together never built on the scale of the African Kmt’s.  These African populations settled along the Nile river moving from south to north.  Settled city life facilitated new forms of technologies, such as metalworking, pottery, stone carving, and new forms of social organization.  Africans used iron, bronze metals (copper alloyed with tin), and copper as tools of building and weapons.  They mined copper in the Sinai copper mines for centuries. Their metalworking involved complicated engineering technologies, including mining ore, smelting, hammering or casting the metal into useful tools. Bronze metallurgy required furnaces with bellows to raise temperatures to 1,200 degrees Celsius.

 It is also important to recognize that the omnipresence of Maat principles as the basis for art, literature, law, government, and philosophy, was also the driver of Kmtian science, engineering, and skilled trades. Science and engineering was the most advanced in antiquity.  Specialization in medicine was well advanced; the medical profession was associated with the priesthood, since Maat principles was the basis of Kmtian medicine.  Medical diagnoses, practices, and prescriptions were closely associated science and system.  Doctors studied for decades before being placed in charge of medical facilities. The Kmtian science of written/tested medical remedies ensured that favorable medicines would be retained and used as the basis for further advances.  In fact, six of the forty two books of human knowledge possessed by the ancient Kmtians were medical texts. Like the formulaic mathematical procedures, medicine was practiced using prescriptions related to the underlying causes of problems. The prescriptions are structured around the questioning of a patient, then proclamation of the symptoms, followed by a stock remedy. They included: The structure of the body, diseases, the instruments of doctors, remedies, the diseases of the eyes, and diseases of women.

Kmtian astronomy evolved out of the need to establish the exact periods of time deemed indispensable for the performance of certain rites. In the mortuary service, astronomical observations played a significant part, in view of the links deemed to exist between the dead and celestial bodies and the need to compile a simple chronology on behalf of the occupant of the tomb. The invention of the calendar provided an ecclesiastical year or a calendar of festivals, which listed dates for observances and sacrifices. Astronomy not only developed in this way, but also was kept alive by the continuous observations necessary to fulfill the requirements of time management of a great civilization. Even the science of cartography, in its earliest representations, was concerned with the geography of this world and the afterworld. 

 Mathematics was supported by the state’s temple authorities and it was a critical tool for organizing and maintaining Kmt’s agricultural economy. The administrative nature of mathematics also explained the Kmtians’ tradition of recording verbal and quantitative information in the form of lists. They were analytic or theoretical treatises, and examples for solving problems encountered in administrative and building works.. The Kmtians of 3,900 BCE to about 1,700 BCE used a symbolic number system. The symbols were combined to form intermediate numbers and formed a base-10 system that was positional. Kmtian numbers used separate signs for the decimal numbers and place value. The Kmtian system used addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, along with a method of duplication, an approach of multiplication by doubling and redoubling numbers. They also arrived at a superior calculation of pi, 256/81 or 3.16, and developed tables that facilitated working with fractions. The development and evolution of advanced mathematics by the priestly classes and the practical applications by the scribes of Kmt existed thousands of years before invasions of this African civilization by Europeans, Semites, then Arabs---this African civilization which had reached such perfections, though its 42 dynasties continued until the time of Alexander the Great, passed it s zenith more than 3,500 years ago.
