10 THE ANU: THE SEED PEOPLE

The Seed People or Negrito groups were the founders of World Civiliza-

tion. Although bushman and pygmies now live in marginally habitual areas in

Africa, and South and Southeast Asia, they were the major civilizers of the

World in ancient times, these pygmy people were called ANU.

In Egypt the Anu, were the founders of agriculture in the World.

During the last glacial maximum of 18,000 BP Blacks in the Sahara were growing wheat and barley. Dr. F. Wendorf and R. Schild, have found evidence that shows that between 17,000 and 18,000 BP, the cultivation of wheat and barley was widespread in the Nile Valley. This shows that food production in the Sahara began 8,000 years before Blacks took agriculture to the Middle East.

The frequency of sites in the Nile Valley which show the widespread practice of agriculture supports the claims made by Herodutus and Manetho of Sebennytos, an Egyptian Priest of the 3rd century BC, that the Egyptian civilization began around 17,000 BC.

Wendorf and Schild, wrote (and I quote) that: "The Egyptian sites have

dates ranging from 17,000 to 18,300 years ago. One of them has even

produced the remains of charred wheat and barley grain plants, which has

never been native to that region. Although positive identifcation of these

grains as domesticates is simply not possibly, they nonetheless remain

candidates for the oldest known humanly nutured grain i the world".

By 15,000 BP, Anu people in Kenya had domesticated cattle. Four thousand

years later cattle appeared in the Sahara which was then more habitable.

In addition to founding the earliest civilizations in the Nile Valley

the Anu , founded civilizations in Mesopotamia and India. According to

Egyptian traditions the great Osiris, who created an empire which extended

from Nubia, into Europe and India was an Anu.

It was the Anu folks who invented architecture, writing , irrigation and

dry agriculture and High Culture in general . This creativity of the Anu has

led to their being known as the SEED People. By 13,000 BP the Anu were also

collecting grasses on the northern fringes of the origins of domestication.

By 10,000 BC the Anu had migrated into Asia. In Palestine these Anu

were known in the archaeological literature as Natufians, they established

intensive grass cultivation. These Anu used the Ibero-Maurusian tool

complexes. They took tool manufacture of this type to Europe and Asia.

BY 9,000 BP the Anu civilization in the Sahara had disappeared. But

they still maintained a world-wide civilization based on trade. As early as

13,000 BC the Anu had invented their own writing system in Mesopotamia. We

call this writing system cuneiform. The cuneiform script was used by the

Hittites, Elamites and Sumerians to name a few ancient nations.

Bewtween 4000-4500 years ago there was a great flood. After 4000 BC the Anu civilization was being progressively absorbed by the Proto-Saharan peoples. Yet the legacy of the Anu remain with us today.

The Anu people are believed to have wrote the most ancient Egyptian

literature: "The Book of the Dead and the Texts of the Pyramids". in

Mesopotamia the Anu, are mentioned in the Gilgamesh Epic, as the first

leaders of the Sumerians.

The Anu also played an important role in Indian culture as well.
