REVEALING ANCIENT KEMETIC SYMBOLISM
T'Challa greets his fellow Wakandans with the crossed arms, but also when he suffers from an injury he is placed in a healing garden with arms crossed. The priest (Forest Whitaker) make him drink from the heart-shaped herb, for its powerful healing properties, and then they cross his arms over him, as he is covered with dirt and slips into a meditation state. It is in this deep state consciousness that his soul, or spirit "astral project," and is able to converse with the spirits of the many dead ancestors who were once former Black Panthers themselves.
The Pharaohs of Ancient Kemet or Egypt would have their arms crossed during death when they were mummified. Their arms and sometimes the actual wrappings themselves were shaped in the image of a cross or "X." African centered historian Ashra Kwesi and others believe that the crossed arms or "X" means resurrection. The Pharaoh was getting ready to be resurrected for his return to the afterlife. As far as T'Challa he was being resurrected back out of his deep state consciousness.
The priest put him under so he could heal, and so he could communicate with former dead Black Panthers (ancestors) as well as the Panther God Bast. They are now bringing him and his crossed arms back very similar to the ritual of baptism, but the Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) origins for the crossed arms is so much older than baptism. As the young people often say, those are just "facts. ~ Jeffrey Carey
