Pathros - Upper Egypt

Updated: 10 hours ago

Happy Sabbath! May the People that know it and keep it, be blessed in Great Abundance. Some info, we have finally made a youtube channel to share some of our audiobooks and maybe for some other things in the future. These books are good for you creative learners that like to stay busy while listening to something- Actually thats how we do a lot of this research - Audiobooks on in the background, works very well. Most of these books we will be sharing, we believe have been very important in our mappings of Ancient Israel in Southern Africa. And people may be able to glean more out of them then we already have. Over the years we have amassed a huge library of audiobooks (and originals) we can see that some of these are not readily available any more. Such a shame. People are charging and monetising everything these days. And this is not the way. The Internet is changing fast and they ask for IDs now to just upload some content. Imagine what this will be like in the future. You gotta give biometrics to do a google search, yes its coming. The freedom we have been enjoying will be taken away. So we have decided to share what we have, while we still can. So in the next coming months we will upload Scriptural audiobooks continuously on our new channel. So Enjoy. www.youtube.com/@umkhonziwezulu2941


Now to the point ! We have to disconnect our associations with modern historical Egypt up there where the Nile makes its way out from Northern Africa. Egypt is very Old, had many dynasties, and the one mentioned in our Bibles is not the same as mentioned in recent archeology, the Biblical Egypt was located further south. And Paturisi is known in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs as the Southern Lands, these parts are known historically as the oldest parts of Egypt. Ask any Egyptologist they will tell you Paturisi was considered very old. They will not tell you were it was, but they will at the very least admit it was old. Lower Egypt, which we think is what we are seeing remnants of today, is the one that has most of the surviving structures for us to see. That does not mean there are not other structures below other buildings or cities or in the ground in the southern parts of Africa.

So this Biblical location or area, or we should say a massive ancient land area, it is the Biblical Pathros (Φαθωρῆς) or Patros in Hebrew (פַּתְרוֹס). This place is associated with Upper Egypt as mentioned in our Scriptures. This use of Upper (Paturisi), places it closer to the Promised Lands of Southern Africa, if you look at the maps as the writers of this particular text, on how they saw North and South. Remember they wrote their heavenly directions not necessarily from the same outset, Biblical writers wrote things like East of Jerusalem, East of Eden, East of the Jordan. East of the Nile, or even SouthEast of Rome in later years. This is to make something a point of reference. Very clever, doing it this way you wold always find you way back home. But not every ancient civilisation did this. Greeks would copy this point of origin method and write east of this or that, same with Egypt at some point. This is the cause of great confusion of us reading these works now, as we should ask, South of what? Or East of What? If you use this rule of thumb as for direction, Upper Egypt in this area of the south makes perfect sense. Exactly where these borders were, is hard to say, but it does make more sense from events like the Exodus, that ancient Egypt, in this case Lower Egypt, was closer to the Wilderness and closer to Sinai. If we read our Bibles, Jeremia, Isaia and even Ezekiel mentions Patros, and it is associated with the southern lands (PTRSY) in Egyptian texts. The Greeks and other Iburu (Hebrew) writers uses Paturisi. Still means the same thing. The Lands towards the southern parts. So therefore, Egypt was way further south then the Pyramids and what we know as modern day Egypt. And we think They would extend into Namibia, Angola, parts of the Congo, and Botswana. Even unto the lands of Zambia (ancient Samaria). Lets Dive into this !


What is so comforting about doing research on the ancient Egyptians, is the groundwork laid by archeologist and Egyptologist. You see academics have already translated most of ancient Khemet (and Paturisi) history, they have done the hard work, so much so that we can just sift through it and try to piece together. Now obviously a lot of locations are wrong sure, but the research is still very much useful to prove the points of ancient "African" geography. To understand this all you have to realise is that Upper Egypt was founded first, then came lower Egypt. It is that simple. Should give people an idea of how old our Scriptures really are.


Paturisi is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Jeremiah 44,1 (15):

1 This word came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in Lower Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes and Memphis—and in Upper Egypt: (..)
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, along with all the women who were present—a large assembly—and all the people living in Lower and Upper Egypt, said to Jeremiah,

Here we can see that Upper and Lower Egypt was already a thing around Jeremiahs times. And then more mentions of Egypt in Isaiah 11,11

11 In that day SoNiNi will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

In Ezekiel 29,14:

14 I will bring them back from captivity and return them to Upper Egypt, the land of their ancestry. There they will be a lowly kingdom.

And again in Ezekiel, not so many good words for Egypt (Ezekiel) 30,13-19:

13 “‘This is what the Sovereign SoNiNi says:
“‘I will destroy the idols and put an end to the images in Memphis. No longer will there be a prince in Egypt, and I will spread fear throughout the land. 14 I will lay waste Upper Egypt, set fire to Zoan and inflict punishment on Thebes. 15 I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, the stronghold of Egypt, and wipe out the hordes of Thebes.
16 I will set fire to Egypt; Pelusium will writhe in agony. Thebes will be taken by storm; Memphis will be in constant distress. 17 The young men of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the cities themselves will go into captivity. 18 Dark will be the day at Tahpanhes  when I break the yoke of Egypt; there her proud strength will come to an end. She will be covered with clouds, and her villages will go into captivity. 19 So I will inflict punishment on Egypt, and they will know that I am SoNiNi naNiNi.’”

Set fire to Egypt, meaning lots of heat and no water. And both Upper (Southern) and Lower (northern) Egypt are now areas of abject desert. Now another trace for us to go after in Tswana would be the Sa`idi (Tsaidi) People, which can be gotten from the Books of Moses as the people of Upper Egypt and the Casluhim mentioned in Genesis 10,13-14:

13 Egypt was the father of the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom the Philistines came) and Caphtorites.

So we can see here that the Egyptians (Mizraim) indeed were the ancestors of the Philistines. There is a lot more details of this in the Book of Jasher, the lines of Pathurisi and Casluhim.


Now, there is one unmistakable identifying point in the research of ancient Egypt. It is the descriptions of Reeds or a Sedge-land, which is what the writings of Upper Egypt translates too - tꜣ šmꜣw (paturisi). These could be interpreted today as the bigger parts of flatlands (and Reed lands) in northern Botswana and Zambia. And very much in the lush Congo basin. But also other areas going in towards the African Great Lakes areas (and others). And remember some of the modern Hebrew and Akkadian (Assyrian) is based upon the Egyptian understanding of the southern lands. The main city in these lands was Nekhen, associated with the vulture and Nekhbet. These totems run deep in ALL Africans tribes and customs, and one of the oldest Totems in ancient Egypt is the Elephant. And Botswana and parts of Angola are full of Elephants. And these ones, they remember.


Now connecting central and southern Africa to ancient Egypt, even though modern Egypt is in the so-called North of Africa, is something that seems hard to do for a lot of contemporary historians. Some do try to give hints here and there that Upper Egypt (meaning Paturisi) is where it all began and it started deeper and down into Africa. They will under great duress accept an ancient Nubian connection, but nothing further south than that. Although archeologists like professor emeritus Nancy C. Lovell has this to say about ancient Egyptian skeletons in her piece on Egyptian anthropology (Lovell, 1999):

In general, the inhabitants of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of the Sahara and more southerly areas"

Another academic, an anthropologist named Shomarka Keita, author of Black Pharaohs (2008) came to conclusions that the Ancient Egyptian Population (predynastic southern Egyptian) was a `Saharo-tropical African variant`. An Egyptologist called Frank J. Yurco (1944-2004) has made quite an effort to connect Asians (historically known as Western Asians) as being in contact with ancient Mesopotamia. This theory, however lacking it may be to the Egyptologist, is one we think is very close to the truth when you connect Monomatapa to Mesopotamia, then these migrations of ancient Peoples become apparent. Now Yurco even says flat out that Nefertiti was a beautiful black Egyptian queen. Go on read his theories, very sound.

If you look at ancient Egyptian art, you will find Elephants stretching to 4000 years before Christ, and also a focus on Bulls in the same early years. Now, to really get into the old stuff - we have to talk about the ruler Thutmose 1, who extended the borders of Upper Egypt, or the Southern parts of Egypt. Now Thutmose I pushed the borders of Egypt farther then ever, and he went further north away from the southern lands. There as a Nubian rebellion during his reign, where the Nubian King was killed as a result with his body handing from one of the ships as he sailed the Nile towards Thebes (which could be a well known city of the Congo River). Furthermore Thutmose had campaigns in Assyria (meaning parts of Angola) and he crossed the Euphrates River (Zambezi or Nossob) on left a mark there cut in stone where he crossed. Areas to look for on ancient maps are Niy and Apamea, in Assyria (also Retenu and Nahari, Land of Mitanni). He came back to Egypt and talked about Rivers that flowed upwards. The Euphrates according to the Egyptians flowed from the north and mouthed in the south, just like the Zambezi and the Nossob.

A simpler way of looking at the pointers we find in our Bibles for the right locations of Egypt, is the fact that we know Kanaan ventured west to Shems portion of Land (Namibia/Angola) and perhaps parts of southern Africa) and we know that Mizraim went towards the East, which would be Botswana, Zambia, South Africa and even Zimbabwe. Now the descendants of Mizraim established Upper Egypt, and later Upper Egypt (Kush and Mizraim are relatives). These are know as the two lands of Egypt, ruled by a white crown and a red crown (double crown). The fact that Kush and MIzraim are cousins should be looked at more, because the Egyptian Åyramids and structures and landmarks we see are indeed from the Kushites and not from the Mizraim. That should tell you these two lands where some distance a part. But with the Nile as a connector between them. Hebrews called the Nile Yeor, and Egyptians called the Nile Aur, which meant black. This is the association we should have to the River mentioned in our Bible, not the modern rendering the Nile. It is not there.


A big comprehensive topic from us this time. Lots of source checking, any scholar is welcome to build on this. Plenty of milk here and trails leading to the meat. Show it to someone who thinks themselves an academic, see their reaction. This could be the groundwork for a new academic study and branch of Egyptology. So, Upper Egypt was not in northern Africa but rather in Southern Africa. Closer to Bethlehem, and a distance that can be traveled by Donkey or even by foot. Just like they did with our Saviour. Remember: out of Egypt I have called my Son. And so we are all called to walk in His footsteps. The first Commandment says we are called out of Egypt. So come out of Egypt now people, both lower and upper. Does not matter, it is still Spiritual bondage and confusion. Drop the Jesus/Zeus and Amon-Ra/Amen. Come out of her now.
