Moors in America

Moors

By Moorish Directory


Moors are in fact the originators of Culture and Civilization, creators of Man’s Social Evolution, Political Governments as well as the Arts and Sciences: Mathematical, Numerological, Chemical, Agricultural, Grammatical, Philosophical and Astrological out of which sprang all spiritual philosophies.


Long Before Columbus

1200 BC - 1100 BC


The incredible massive stone sculptures with distinctive African features of the tribes now called Olmec dating back to 1100 BC were discovered in Tres Zapotes, the Meso-american Cultural Area of Middle America which comprise much of present-day Mexico as well as the northern parts of Central America. In the centuries long before Europeans reached the Americas, MesoAmerica was a densely populated region, with many diverse native/ indigenous cultures. Olmec (pronounced OL-mek), also written as Olmeca, is a term derived from the rubber trees growing in the area and applied by scholars to the cultures of the region. That is to say, their culture influenced other cultures that followed.


From approximately 1200 B.C. to AD 300, Olmec culture dominated the region. Scholars referrer much of this period as the Preclassic period which was followed by the Classic period when the MAYA flourished; which in turn was followed by the Postclassic period when the TOLTEC and AZTEC flourished. The olmec homeland was situated largely along the Gulf coast to the east of present-day Mexico City. Yet the Olmec had extensive trade contacts all throughout Mesoamerica.

It is imperative to remember that it was not until modern history that conflicts created due to the incursion of Europeans that such land separation distinctions (borders) came into being. Prior to the European all of the land from Canada across what is now called the United States to include Mexico as well as all of South America was one undivided land inhabited by various tribes of indigenous Moors. Moors are indigenous to the entire planet, not by any means simply Africa. The very word “INDIGENOUS” can be understood as “INDI” referencing “Black”+ GEN (beGENing) or by the origin of GENectics.


The Moor Mound Builders

0500 BC


Circa 500 B.C., Copper colored Aboriginal Americans, from the Hopewell Mounds in Ohio, North America. Further Note: - The copper colour Hebrews

(Yisrealites or Isrealites) kept the Passover called the Green-Corn dance. See: History of the American Indians by James Adair (1775) page 80, 101. The Ancient Ones or Mound/Pyramid Builders of North America (over 150 unearthed some Egyptian styled are up and down the Mississippi River) according to the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology was built by copper-hued skin (Asiatic Moors). See: U.S. Bureau of Ethnology. 12th Annual Report, 1890- 1891... The Aboriginal Americans or Mound Builders of North America built ceremonial mounds that date as far back as 5,400 years ago. The oldest mound in North America to date is found in Watson Brake Louisiana, 32 km South-West of Monroe. See: “Japan Times Newspaper” September 20, 1997, reported by Joe W. Sanders.


Africanus

0236 BC- 0183 BC


The term “African” and the “Brand” accepted and used by many “African Americans” (a term delineating No Nationality or Heritage) were derived 

from the name of a Roman General “Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus”(236-183 BC), also known as Scipio the African- Scipio Africanus-Major, Scipio Africanus the Elder, and Scipio the Great by many Europeans. He was the General who in the Second Punic War defeated the legendary Moorish Commander Hannibal The Great at Zama, Hannibal (247-182 BC), Carthaginian General. In the second Punic War he attacked Italy by crossing the Alps. He repeatedly defeated the Romans, although he failed to take Rome itself. After being recalled to “Africa” he was defeated in 202. Note: Cathaginian/Canaanites and Land of Cain/ Phoenician was a language originally spoken in the coastal (Mediterranean) region then called “Canaan”. Canaan derived from Cain is where the term Cannan-land or the North American region called Canada was derived.


The Titles: EL, BEY, ALI, AL, DEY, ECT.

0046 BC


Prior to Circa 46 BC, the Ancient Moors were referred to by their National names like Washitaw, Almoravides, Almohades, Moabites, Canaanites, Yisrealites, etc.


Roman General Aemilianus The (So Called) “Black Knight”

0207-0253


The ancient Romans thoroughly documented the lives of the Indigenous (so called) “Africans” to whom they commonly referred as the “Moors”. By the 4th Century AD, the Roman army heavily recruited Moors for their exceptional skill in battle. One such Moorish general, Aemilianus (207-253 AD) as described in Epitome de Caesaribus (390s AD), was so skilled that he was made emperor in the Roman province of Moesia (Balkan Peninsula), albeit for only 4 months’ time. Other skilled Africans were made Catholic patron saints, such as the popular St. Maurice or Mauritius in Latin as described in the Passio Martyrum Acaunensium (The Passion of the Martyrs of Agaunum) by French Bishop, Saint Eucherius (434-450 AD). According to the text, St. Maurice live around 286 AD and was believed to be part of the Theban Legion of Egyptian Christians who served in the Roman Army under his command. St. Maurice’s brigade was supposedly decimated for disobeying orders to kills Christians in Roman Helvetia (Switzerland). The oldest known physical representation of him, however, was not created until 1281 AD.


Saint Victor The Moor

0303 AD


A well known Catholic saint from Africa was Victor Maurus or St. Victor the Moor, a martyr who supposedly lived around 303 AD. The life of another Catholic martyr, St Zeno of Verona, was the first recounted by the 7th Century Italian Author, Coronato, who affirmed that Zeno was an African native. (Side Note: Neither Aemilianus nor St, Maurice were from so-called “Mauretania/ Mavritania (Latin)” which is erroneously believed to be the name of ancient Roman province along the Northwestern coast of Africa.) This particular region was neither called “Mauretania” in any known ancient library text nor was it named after the so-called “Mauri tribe” as many modern historians believe. “Mauri” is merely the plural form of the Latin transliteration “Maurus” as mentioned above. The oldest map of that region ( of which a copy may be viewed at the following URL: http://www.taneter.org/moors.html) shows its name was Tingi (or Tingitana in literature). Instead, Roman Catholic writers of the 5th-9th centuries AD used “Mauretania” synomymously with all of Africa, not any one particular region.

Moors Built and Owned The Earliest Known Medieval Castle in Europe

0470 AD


By 470 AD, following the fall of the Roman Empire, Africans slowly began repopulating Southern Europe, and by 711 AD, General Tarik Ibn Ziyaf Al-Gibral, and Islamic African Native whence the name, “Gibraltar”, is derived, led a major invasion beyond that same peninsula. His fortress (which can be seen at: http://www.tanetor.org/moors.html) is the earliest known medieval castle in Europe, built centuries before those of the Loire Valley in France. According to legend, the phrase “Thank Heaven for 711” comes from the overwhelming sentiment of relief experienced when Moorish civilization permeated the Iberian peninsula (Spain, Portugal, Andorra) and Southern France and replaced primitive Visagothic feudal seridom. For over 750 years, the Moors would lead Spain into an unprecedented era of freedom of association, religion, education, and enterprise.



Moors Muslim Schools in North America

0700-0800


Circa 700-800 AD, several Muslim Schools in North America; Valley of Fire (Nevada), Mesa Verde (Colorado), Mimbres Valley (New Mexico), and Tipper Canoa (Indiana). North African Arabic and Old Kufic Arabic scripts are engraved on rocks, test, diagram, charts including writing, reading, arithmetic, religion, history, geography, mathematics, astronomy, and sea navigation.


OH Thank Heavens For 711

0711 AD


Circa 711 AD, the same Moors that ruled Moslem Spain and Portugal for centuries were “Dark”skinned people and the same people who brought the Europeans out of their “Dark Ages” into their Resonance Age of Enlightenment. See: Golden Age of the Moors, Edited by Ivan Van Sertima pg 337.


Moor Generals: Abisme & Marsile

0800 AD


By 800 AD, the Franks began efforts to contain the spread of Moorish society to soth of the Pyrennees mountains. Much of the literature, lor and art that followed centered around the Franks’ efforts to defeat the Moors. For instance, the Song of Roland (French, La Chanson de Roland, 1140-1170 AD), the oldest known  French literary work, describes Frankish Charlemenes’s (742-814 AD) long campaign in southern France. The text’s account of a Moorish leader named Marsile, is as follows: “Although Marsile has fled, his uncle Marganice remains, he who rules Carthage, Alfrere, Garmalie, and Ethiopia, and accursed land. He has the black people under his command, their noses are big and their ears are broad, together they number more than fifty thousand. They ride fiercely and furiously, then they shout the pagan battle cry.” Then another Moor General whom the Franks called Abisme is described a follows: “In the forefront rides of Saracen, Abisme... He is as black as molten pitch.”- Original art work depicting these Moors and more information of this subject may be found at the URL: Https://www.taneter.org/moors.html


Columbus Reports Seeing Islamic Mosques Near Cuba

Circa 1492 A.D,. On Monday 21, 1492,, Christopher Columbus admits in his papers, while sailing near Cuba, he saw a mosque on top of a beautiful mountain.The ruins of Mosques and Minerats with inscriptions of Qaranic verses have been found in Cuba, Mexico, Texas, and Nevada. The dress of the Indian (Moorish) woman long veils “the men Breed clothes painted in the style of Moorish draperies” in Grenada and Trinidad...

These world also derived from Arabic and Islamic root origins. The word Indian is India like the Ink, it means “black pigment”. See Webster’s New World Dictionary (Third College Edition, 1988), p.686...


The status of descendants of the Moorish Inhabitants of Spain and Portugal on American soil is Free White Persons (natural men and women). This status does not apply to the Caucasian Race, Aryan Race, or Indo-European Races under the Naturalization Ac ( Amended by Act. July 14th 1879) I Stat. 103,c3.

See: Washitaw de Duglahmoundyah Empire, Newspaper, December 1998, Front Page.


The Fathers of Racism

1625-1778

The concept of there being a “Race” (a competition between opponents having a singular goal, defeating the opponent) was initiated as a deception device invented and further enhanced and reinforced under the false color of science logic by three following Europeans: Francios Bernier Carl Linnaeus *Johann Friedrich Blumenbach. See: MoorishDirectory.com Home Page for more information regarding these three notorious individuals.


A Moor- The First to Give His Life In the American War of Independence

1170 A.D.

On March 5 1770 in what would be called The Boston Massacre a MOOR by the name of Crispus Attucks who was leading a group of patriots became the first individual killed in the American Revolution.He was but one of a great number of MOORS who were intrinsically involved in the War of Independence. Moors were the very foundation and cornerstone of the creation of the United States Republic. The Constitution “FOR” the United States of America was adopted from the Moors and the land was coded to their said Government by your Moorish Forefathers. Even the design of Washington D.C. was designed the Moor Ben Bey Benjurman (Benjamin Banneker Bey).


Webster Establishes The BRAND “Black”

1774

Circa 1174 A.D., Noah Webster and his associates branded the Moors Black-a- Moor, Moor was dropped and replaced with customary term Nigger, Negroe, Colored, or Black. The use of the word Nigger or Negroe represents the spiritually dead people and not the Nigritian People. Black-A-Moore, n. [For black Moor] A black man or woman, esp.an African negro; any very dark-complexion person. See: New Century Dictionary of the English Language 1927.


Grand Master Mason George Washington Re. Moorish Flag

1774

Circa 1174 A.D., The five pointed green star in the center of a field of red is the Moorish flag, and was the alleged cherry tree that General George Washington, chopped down. See: Moorish Civic Relations Concepts, Volume 14, Page 37.


Treaty of Peace and Friendship

1787

Circa 1787 A.D., Assisted by England, Scotland, Ireland, Netherlands, France, Germany, Finland, and Sweden, the United States of America ended their war with the Moors (Moroccan Empire) and signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship with the Emperor Mohammed III (Moorish-Mason). The aforementioned treaty is the longest unbroken treaty in the history of the United States. See: U.S. Moroccan Relations, by Robert G. Newman, Former U.S. Ambassador to Morocco (1973-1976).


Moors Created the United States Constitution which was “Adopted” by the Europeans

1789

The Constitution of the United States, the Supreme Law of the Land known now as The United States of America, was created by the Moors as is evident in its first paragraph”We the People Adopt This Constitution”. The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government. Its first three articles entrench the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the Legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the Executive, consisting of the President; and the Judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other Federal courts. 


Articles Four, Five, and Six entrench concepts of Federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of the states in relationship to the federal government. Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it. 


Since the Constitution came into force in 1789, it has been amended twenty-seven times.  In general, the first ten amendments, known collectively as the Bill of Rights, offer specific protections of individual liberty and justice, and place restrictions on the powers of the government. The majority of the seventeen later amendments expand individual civil rights. Others address issues related to federal authority or modify government processes and procedures. 


Amendments to the United States Constitution, unlike ones made to many constitutions world-wide, are appended to the end of the document. At seven articles and twenty-seven amendments, it is the shortest written constitution in force. An important aspect however to remember is that with Constitution having been created for the Europeans, the authority to modify if as has been done was never bestowed.


Amendments such as the 14th are irrelevant in that previous Carters upon which the Constitution rests (which have never been modified) already clarified all men to be free. What the 14th amendment created was The Negro as a matter of commerce which holds no position in reality.


George Washington Apologizes to His Masonic Brother Emperor Mohammed III

1789

Circa 1789 A.D., On December 1, 1789, the Ninth President of the United States, George Washington, apologizes to his Masonic Brother Emperor Mohammed III, for not sending the regular advices (tribute: a payment by one ruler or nation to another as acknowledgement of submission or price of protection, excessive tax). Also, President Washington asked the Emperor to recognize their newly formed government. 


The Moroccan Empire (MOORS) were the First Nation to recognize the thirteen colonies as sovereign nation. Allegedly the Emperor agreed to their recognition because 25 Moors were members of the Constitutional Congress. See: The Writing of George Washington from the Original Manuscript Source 1745-1799, Editor John C. Fitzpatrick, Volume 30, pages 474-476.


The Sundry Free Moors Act

1790

Circa 1790 A.D., On Wednesday January 20, 1790, a petition was presented to the House of Representatives from the Sundry (numerous) Free Moors, Subjects to the Prince under the Emperor of Morocco in Alliance with the United States of America. The Sundry Free Moors Act states that all Free Moors may be tried under the same Laws as the Citizens od (South Carolina)and NOT under the Negro Act. See: South Carolina Department of Archives and History: SC House of Representatives Journal, 1789 -90. p. xxii, 353-364, 373-374: In Re. Sundry Free Moors.


Washitaw- Moors/Muurs

1848


Circa 1848 A.D., On June 6 1848, a Supreme Court Decision read bt Theo H. McCaleb (Judge), declared that the United States DOES NOT own the land of the Ancient Ones (Uaxashaktun) Mound Builders of North America (more than 1,000,000 sqare miles of land). Also, the Court declared the lawful land owners are the heirs of henry Turner (Washitaw-Moors/Muurs). See: Case No. 191, U.S. Supreme Court, United States vs. Heirs of Henry Turner.


Dred Scott

1857


Circa 1857 A.D., The Dred Scott Case from the United States Supreme Court; holds that Africans [Moors] imported [captured in an undeclared war of enslavement]. Into this country [Territory of the United States and Several States], and SOLD as [perpetual] Slaves, were not included nor intended to be included under the word “Citizen” in the Constitution, whether emancipated or not, and remained without rights or privileges except such as those which the government might grant them. See: Dred Scott v. Sanford, 60 U.S. (How.) 393, 15L Ed., 691, Blacks Law Dictionary 6th, Edition, Page 495.


Jan Ernst Matzeliger

1880

Jan Ernst Matzeliger (1852-1889) invented a shoemaking machine that increased shoemaking speed by 900%. In 1992, the U.S. made a postage stamp in honor of Matzeliger.


Noble Drew Ali

1886

Noble Drew Ali, born Timothy Drew in North Carolina in 1186, rose by Cherokee Indians and adopted into that tribe. At sixteen, Dew began his wanderings a circus magician, which took him to Egypt where he received self knowledge and direction from a priest, the last of a cult of High Magic practiced for centuries in the pyramid of Cheops. The Magus recognized the young American as a reincarnation of a former leader cult, and saw him for the prophet he was. 


From him Drew Ali learned the messages of the Circle Seven Koran, as well as much higher truths; he returned to America where he was told in a dream to found a new religion “for the upliftment of fallen mankind.” He began his temple in Newark, but because he and his followers refused to fight in World War 1, he was forced to move to Chicago, where his movement began to grow (The Moorish Science Temple).


In Chicago, Noble Drew issued many Moorish Passports, and it is said that some new converts, in the zeal of their new found nationality, began to grow less and less subservient in their dealings with oppressor empire. This culminated in a full scale attack on the Science Temple in which many of the faithful were martyred, including the Enforcer of the Law, a man whom Noble Drew Ali had recognized as a reincarnation of Jesus. The above information is an except from: the website: “The CLOCK OF DESTINY”- http://www.clockofdestiny.com/noble_drew_ali.htm... where in which much more regarding Noble Drew Ali may be found to study in more depth. 


Shortly thereafter in (in 1929) Noble Dre prophesied the hour of his death. e was taken for questioning by the Chicago Police, brutally beaten and died soon after his release. Some say he died due to Tuberculosis but that is hard to believe when he head Moorish Tea and healing oil that solved all illnesses at that time (-words of the Premier).


After this, the Moorish Science Temple began to split into sects or fractions, one headed by Noble Drew’s chauffeur; another by Elijah Muhammed, who his Moorish Science origin taught pseudo-science of race hatred diguised as the “Nation of Islam”. 


In the 1950's, located in the Baltimore/DC area, some white poets and jazz musicians came into contact with Moorish Science, the Moorish Orthodox Church of America. The Premier can give you a three page history of the transition , however, the Moorish Science Temple of America will be best and telling this story.


Madam C.J. Walker

1899


(1867-1919) The first modern hair-growing lotion was invented by Moorish American C.J. Walker.Walker grew up poor but would became the first female (so called at the time) “Negro” millionaire.


George Washington Carver

1900


(1860-1943) In addition to developing the formula for peanut butter, the brilliant inventor George Carver created over 400 other plant products/ inventions! Carver was born a slave. He didn’t go to college until he was 30.


Lewis Latimer

1900


(1848-1928) The Moorish inventor Lewis Latimer invented the most important part of the light bulb- the carbon filament. The brilliant Moorish inventor Latimer worked in the laboratories of both Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell who would take credit for his work and inventions, not to mention the Patents and wealth derived from these inventions and others which would follow.


The Moorish Divine & National Movement

1911-1912


Noble Drew Ali established in (what we call today) “North America” The Moorish Divine & National Movement. In 1913, Noble Drew Ali officially activated the established Moorish Divine & National Movement to counter Noble Drew Ali and his Moorish Divine & National activities. Woodrow Wilson conspired with Banking Elitists to place into effect a series of sweeping finance reform acts, dismantling further key aspects of North America’s Republic’s Constitutional framework’s cornerstones agree upon and established by 35 Moors and 20 European Masons in 1778. 


A Divine Document established by the Moors to put an end to centuries of wars between the the Romans (The European Nation collectively), and the Moors. Along with his economic advisers Virginia Representative Carter Glass, (soon to become the Chairman of the House Committee on Banking and Finance) and H. Parker Willis, (formerly a professor of economics at Washington and Lee University) Wilson worked out a scheme with the Global Banking Cartels called the Federal Reserve Act.


Many people are under the false impression our form of government is a democracy, or representative democracy. This is of course completely untrue. The Founders (the aforenoted framers) were extremely knowledgable about the issue of democracy and feared a democracy as much as a monarchy. They understood that the only entity that can take away the peoples’ freedom is their own government, either by being too weak to protect them from external threats or by becoming too powerful and taking over every aspect of their life. They knew the very word “democracy”, and the history of democracies; and they were deliberately doing everything in their power to prevent having a democracy.


In a true Republic, the sovereignty resides with the indigenous people of the land (Connected to the land by lineage - blood and birthright). In a Republic, such an individual or one who has been Naturalized and deemed a citizen may act on his own or through his own representatives when he chooses to solve a problem. The people have no obligation to the government; instead, the government is a servant of the people, and obliged to its owner, We the People.


Noble Drew Ali Founded the Moorish Science Temple

1913


Circa 1913 A.D., Knowledge of our Moorish Heritage would have been lost if it was not for the Moorish Science Temple, in Newark, New Jersey (1913). For the unconscious de-nationalized Moors i.e., negroes, blacks and coloreds, Moorish represents our Nationality. Science represents our Ancestors Spiritual Arts maintains in Free Masonry, and the Temple represents our Body (the dwelling place of the Creator of the Universe). Also, Noble Drew Ali is responsible for the Moorish Flag flying once again on American (Morrocan) soil in 1913. The State of Morocco was not allowed to fly the Moorish flag until 1956 A.D., after their Independence from France.


Otis Boykin

1940


Otis Boykin, the Moorish inventor of such devices as the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker, took a special interest in working with resistors, began researching and inventing on his own . He sought and received a patent for a wire precision resistor on June 16 1959. The resistor would later be used in radios and televisions. Two years later, he created a breakthrough device that could withstand extreme changes in temperature and pressure. The device, which was cheaper and more reliable than others on the market, came in great demand by the United States military for guided missles and IBM for computers. 


In 1964, Boykin moved to Paris, creating electronic innovations for a new market of customers. His most famous invention was a control unit for the pacemaker. Ironically, Boykin died in Chicago in 1982 as a result of heart failure. Upon his death, he had 26 patents to his name.


Garrett Morgan

1950

(1877-1963) Moorish inventor Garrett Morgan invented the gas mask as well as the first traffic signal.
