Why not use Ethiopia and Egypt instead of Africa?
I wasn't being slick young brotha.
Mali contained a place called timbuku that dropped all that religious ether long ago. Egypt book of the dead has stories that are damn near the blue print for Abraham's religions and every religious concept.. Ethiopia and Christianity and early Judaism are all tied together.
Way Down in south Africa there was this

Also the majority of the African people lived in isolated areas.... the nile regions had the most people and either-way it was only 100 people that produced everyone on Earth. So just because many of these ideas come from Northern Africa doesn't mean that they didn't come from Africa - it just means that they came from the places in Africa with the most people.
It just makes sense that many of it was in East Africa and Ethiopia was the center of that. But geography wasn't a color dividing line back then the People as far as India and UAE were black during the time we are discussing. All of Jesus' people were darker than J cole, so even though they were middle easterners - they are only 'middle easterners' to us because our minds have been trained to think of that region as having mostly Arabic asian and persian people during modern times.
Egypt had the whole creation, man god, son afterlife and religious symbols stories that created Judaism. South African a couple thousand years before had resurrection of the savior stories. 'Mary' is only important because of Auset and Heru. We give the credit to Ethiopia and that region because they populated Asia and brought the ideas there. Credit is given to Egypt because they had trade and a powerful empire that made contact with west first.
The reason this is important isn't because the characters in the bible were black. It's important because 'Jewish' contact with the west, greeks, romans allowed cac to change the stories and alter them to fit into demonic ideas. The story of the air and soul because some story of a spirit that you have no control over until ur fate is decided for you - when in ancient Africa it tied all humans together. 'Jesus'(son) became God and God became something we could never aspire to - When in Africa we strived to be god, with some of us reaching that status. So we see Jesus walking on water and ignore him getting his followers to walk on water as well.
Theres a white dude who wrote this book :
How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind: Rediscovering the African Seedbed of Western Christianity
much of its history has been dismissed as heretical, as argued by German scholars like Adolf von Harnack and Walter Bauer, based upon criteria that prevailed centuries later in Europe. These interpretations are now increasingly regarded as unpersuasive. Even today many African-born scholars trained in the West seem all too ready to play the role of advocates of modern European ideologies.
Inland African cultures were the main testing ground for early Christian dialectical models of the relation of Christianity and culture. These models were hammered out on the ground in Africa before they were transmitted into Sicily, Palestine, Syria, Anatolia, and finally inland Europe.
