The kikuyu migrated from the Middle East from an ancient region called Sumer. They were part of a two groups called “Habiru and Shasu”. This two groups later came to be known as the “Kabiru(pronounced as Kafirū) and Thagichū. Before migrating to East Africa, The Habiru and Shasu were captives in Egypt after they were sold into bondage by the Assyrians(Assyrian Kingdom). In the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten(who was know as Amenhotep IV before ascending to power)during the 18th dynasty, a religious war broke out in Ancient Egypt when Akhenaten introduced monotheism erasing the ancient religions. During the war, the Habiru and Shasu fled southwards to safety and it is speculated that they were followers of Akhenaten. It is also clearly know that, after the war broke, Akhenaten fled southwards to a secret location were he lived till his last days. Egyptologists and Archaeologists are still on a quest to finding the burial ground of the ancient pharaoh. It’s believed that the tomb of Akhenaten is somewhere in Mt. Kenya region. It is also well documented that the ancient Pharaohs called Mt. Kenya “Ta Neteru” which means the dwelling place of the gods(speaking of today’s Mt. Kenya being a holy mountain which is also the true Mt. Zion as the Bible accurately points to wards it). For those who understand the Kikuyu traditions, it is good to note that in ancient Egypt, there was a ruling class tradition called Hapsed which was a 30 years period for each generation. This tradition is a mirror reflection of the Kikuyu Ītūīkā which also lasted 30 years and it resulted into mārīkā e.g rīkā rīa Maina, rīkā rīā Mwagi e.t.c
We can also see similarities between tradition in ancient Egypt and the Kikuyu in reference to the olive tree which is called Mūtāmāiyū in Kikuyu and it was considered a sacred tree for women in ancient Egypt and it’s still a sacred tree for women today in Kikuyu tradition. Please note that Mutemwiya(Akhenaten’s grandmother was a minor wife of pharaoh Thutmose IV. Note the similarities between Mutemwiya, mutumia and mutamaiyu.The Sycamore tree or Mūkūyū was a sacred tree for men in ancient Egypt and still is in Kikuyu tradition...
To be continued.
You should have never let the “foreigner” write and teach you your history. There is power in knowing your history. That’s why they told us that we are primitive from the jungles of Central Africa.
