The National Merit Scholarship System was established during the Cold War to identify the nation's top 0.5% of students based on intelligence, using PSAT and SAT scores as measures. This system focuses solely on academic ability, without considering race, gender, or other characteristics. Each year, it recognizes the highest-scoring students, narrowing down from the top 1% of PSAT scores to the top 0.5% who also excel on the SAT. The scholarship amount, originally significant, is now around $25,100. This initiative aims to discover and reward exceptional talent among high school students.

Memphis, the capital of ancient Egypt, is the focus of our discussion. It's interesting to explore its historical significance and connections.

In thirteen twenty four CE, Mansa Musa, the ruler of the Mali empire, embarked on a legendary pilgrimage to Mecca. His journey accompanied by a vast caravan of gold, slaves, and camels demonstrated the immense wealth of his empire. Mansa Musa's generosity during his travels, particularly his lavish distribution of gold in Cairo, disrupted local economies. His pilgrimage solidified Mali's status as a major power in the medieval world and established Mansa Musa as one of the wealthiest individuals in history. In thirteen twenty four CE, Mansa Musa, the ruler of the Mali empire, embarked on a legendary pilgrimage to Mecca.

A significant amount has been written about the Islamic Golden Age, which supposedly spanned from the mid-7th century to the end of the 10th century. This period coincides with the depths of the Dark Ages in Europe, particularly in Western Europe. The narrative suggests that during these three centuries, from the establishment of the caliphate to the end of the 10th or early 11th century, Islam experienced unprecedented wealth, prosperity, knowledge, and scientific progress. Simultaneously, Europe was allegedly a barbarian society after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

The Mississippi Valley State University band, known as the Mean Green Marching Machine, has traveled from Itta Bena, Mississippi, to represent historically black colleges and universities at the 60th presidential inauguration. With nearly 300 members, the band has a rich history of performing at athletic events, Mardi Gras parades, and the Rose Bowl parade. They take pride in showcasing culturally diverse presentations for students, faculty, and the local community. The energy and talent of the band are on full display as they march proudly.

Facts about slavery often overlooked in school include the history of white Christian Europeans being enslaved in Africa. For nearly 300 years, the southern coast of Europe faced threats from the Islamic Barbary States, which targeted coastal communities and Christian ships. One notable raider, Turgut Reis, was a prominent Turkish admiral. In 1551, he enslaved the entire population of 5,000 from the Maltese island of Gozo. Three years later, he attacked Vieste, Italy, massacring men and capturing 7,000 women and children as slaves. Even as far north as Ireland, the Barbary pirates raided Baltimore in 1631, taking the population to Algiers as slaves.

Arabs translated Aristotle into Arabic. When the Spanish conquered Spain, the popes ordered the burning of books, but Benedictine and Dominican monks secretly saved them in underground libraries. A human card catalog helped identify books to be burned, while the monks preserved them by translating into Greek and Latin, saving works by Plato and Aristotle from destruction by Christians.

Regularly stopping for months to study under the greatest teachers of the day, he met mystics and maniacs, fire walkers and killer elephants, princes and pirates. He would marry and divorce 10 times, win and lose several fortunes, undertake the sacred Hajj five times, and outrun the bubonic plague. After a quarter of a century, he finally made his way home, only to travel across the Sahara into the deepest heart of Africa. He recounted this journey—the people he met and the cultures he encountered—in rich and vivid detail in a precious book that would eventually make him a hero throughout the entire Islamic world.

The speaker describes traveling the world to learn about the goodness and beauty of Islam. As a college student in the nineteen seventies, he spent a summer traveling through Indonesia, taking in the wonderful landscape, culture, and people of Java and Bali. Despite his long hair, his earring, and his obvious American appearance, he was welcomed throughout that country, reflecting the tremendous warmth of Islamic cultures and societies. Like the president during his childhood years in Jakarta, he came to see Islam, not how it is often misrepresented, but for what it is, how it is practiced every day by well over a billion Muslims worldwide, a faith of peace and tolerance and great diversity. And if you permit me, or I should say, Adros, Arbia, Maratani, inshallah. Afwan.

For over a thousand years, Arabs enslaved black people, resulting in 15 million deportations. However, this history is rarely discussed compared to the transatlantic slave trade, which lasted a century and involved 12 million deportations. The transatlantic slave trade is more well-known, possibly due to the availability of photographs and the fact that white slaveholders allowed their slaves to reproduce, while Muslims castrated their slaves. Slavery has been a global practice throughout history, with figures like Plato, Cleopatra, and Genghis Khan having slaves. The abolition of slavery was primarily led by white countries during the Industrial Revolution and the development of moral philosophy. It took another century for African countries to abolish slavery, often under pressure from Western powers. Even today, slavery persists in Mauritania, with hundreds of thousands of slaves.

We've lost over 90% of ancient writings and artifacts, many of which are in the Vatican library. The Vatican holds Maya, Aztec, Egyptian, and Sumerian tablets taken from conquered regions. The Vatican archives store unconventional items, accessible only to high-level individuals with specific knowledge. Access is restricted, and wandering is not allowed.

During the golden age of Islam, notable figures like Ibn Sina, al Zarawi, al Khwarizmi, and Ibnu al Haytham made significant contributions to technology and culture. They advanced fields such as medicine, surgery, mathematics, and optics, building upon existing knowledge and introducing new discoveries and innovations.

Speaker 0: We have made a lot of episodes, a 106 to this point, for a long time after today. This will be the episode that I referred to as the end of the mainstream narrative. An episode that we have built up to for a very long time. Welcome to 2025. I believe this is the perfect time to share this information with the world. So here we go. I asked their AI database, the AI ChatGPT, if there were any archaeological finds that have been removed from the public, removing evidence of a previous civilization that was here where we live today. The answer is shocking. Yes. There have been numerous instances where archaeological finds are removed from the public. All of us. Where statement number six is the final straw for the mainstream narrative. A narrative that is taught to all of us since day one. A narrative that is being taught in children's classrooms in every country stating controversial finds, items that could challenge established historical narratives, the mainstream narrative. These items might also be kept from public display doing this to avoid controversy or debate. For any mainstream historian, this is the end. And for any archaeologist, you are now exposed. And this is just the beginning today. In fact, it's just the beginning of a massive series that we are starting right now as we speak. I'm going to be referring back to this episode time and time again. And to this point in all of our episodes, I have never needed to read something more. This page in their book, will be the end of the story that we're all told and the beginning of free thinking, the beginning of finding the truth, stating, advocates argue that the public access to such artifacts is essential for a fuller understanding of our true history and for fostering critical thinking about the truth. Our world's true history, suppressing giants with some findings in The Americas that suggest advanced civilizations existed just like we've talked about before European contact, such as evidence of complex urban planning where the mainstream narrative, the mainstream archaeology dismisses it, which contributes to these artifacts that have been found not being displayed or discussed, hiding artifacts that would expose an advanced previous civilization, hiding them simply because it goes against the mainstream narrative is exactly what we're being told. This highlights the tension between advancing knowledge, exactly what doing here, or sticking with the existing power structure in academia and society as we evolve this knowledge, exactly like we're doing right here on this channel. There may be a shift towards greater public access to the items found that are being hidden from all of us to this day. And I say that this is the beginning because we are now starting this series where we're gonna expose the sites, the items that are currently being blocked off from the public, blocking them off, hiding them from all of us in attempt that has been very successful for a long time to keep their false narrative in place. How many times to this point when going back and watching the first 106 episodes have we heard off limits to the public due to preservation or to keep looters away? How many times? This is the nod. This is the key, and we now know this. We've seen this in episode 98 where access to the physical artifacts may be restricted to ensure their preservation. We've seen it in episode 102, where it is no longer being exhibited to the public. We've seen so many examples of this. And today, it couldn't be any clearer, any more straightforward that so much of what we are told in life is controlled. It's manipulated to fit the narrative that we are all given, and we are about to take this to another level. Episode 86, when we saw that the project is supported by National Agency of Cultural Heritage Preservation of Georgia. The AFCP has allocated more than $1,000,000 to preserve and protect. This is a moment where our eyes open up even further, and we are able to see with more clarity than ever before. And once you're able to see, you will never go back, understanding that preservation protecting in the world of archaeology. This means preserving and protecting themselves, their narrative. This does not mean that they are preserving or protecting what they have found, and I wanna make that very clear. And this is fully exposed now. The blindfold has been ripped off, and there's no going back. This show is a progression. It takes time to show people the truth. There is a buildup, a process. The episodes are in order for a reason. The AFCP, an initiative by the United States Department of State just starting up in 2001. What a year. A group that the people of America fund through their tax dollars. A group that the world did not need in the eighteen or nineteen hundreds. And I wonder why. Now, again, I just wanna clarify, and I don't wanna be sarcastic at all. This group is amazing. We all know that they really are preserving and protecting all of our favorite sites. They support projects in over a 130 countries, preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage such as historic structures, archaeological sites, and traditional crafts. They restore ancient temples and mosques. Conservation of manuscripts from the old world, textiles, and old world music. Preservation of significant landscapes. They are for sure doing all of this. Jebel Barkal and the sites of the Nappatun region, Sudan, where the AFCP has funded conservation efforts at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. And we know this group very well, which includes temples, palaces, and pyramids from the old world. You've gotta ask, why are there so many groups that aim to supposedly preserve and protect sites that don't fit into the mainstream narrative that the exact same group publishes into the textbooks. And then they also fund the operation of teaching this narrative, the same narrative that they just wrote, all to the people at a young age in every single country. I believe that we have correctly translated their language. The words preserve, protect, and conservation, preserving and protecting their narrative is exactly what this means. And this unlocks so many more sites, so many old world places that is going to take this research so much further than we could have ever imagined. It will unlock places that have been hiding for so long. Without our sponsors, without our Patreons, without every subscriber, all of our badge members, and everybody who likes the episodes, This episode wouldn't be happening right now. This show, these episodes, it all honestly would have ended a long time ago. I appreciate all of you. And instead of ending this show a long time ago, because of all of you, we are now just getting started. Welcome to episode 107 of my lunch break. I hope you're all having a great day. And if you're new, welcome. Have you ever wondered what happened to the legendary Chuck Norris?

"The Ghana Empire, otherwise known as the Empire of Gold, was an ancient civilization that thrived in West Africa between the fourth and thirteenth centuries AD." "The Ghana Empire's roots are steeped in mystery and legend, with the bulk of historical knowledge stemming from oral and archaeological records and the writings of Arab travelers of the time." "The region abounded in gold, and controlling this precious resource, along with the opportunity to mediate between the northern salt producing areas and the southern gold producing regions, positioned the Empire of Ghana as a dominant trading force." "The main city and capital of the empire is believed to have been Kumbai Sala." "Islam also had a strong foothold, especially among the elite and merchants." "Eventually, Mali in particular overshadowed Ghana in power and influence in West Africa."

The great empire of Mali, which lasted more than four hundred years, was extraordinary. Governed as a confederation of kingdoms where multiple kingdoms got to select their representative to the high king called the Musa's court, at its height, it covered more than a half million square miles. East to west, it went from the coast to the great bend in the river. It was so large that it was said that if you started walking from the coast, you would walk eight months before leaving the empire. In its day, it was only exceeded in size by the great Mongol empire, and it was unbelievably rich. It was the end of the salt caravan trade, and it had gold mines so rich that nearly half of the gold in the old world came from those Malian gold mines.

Did you know Byzantine legal principles are still used in some parts of the world? Byzantine emperor Justinian set scholars to compiling his famous body of civil law Corpus Juris Civilis, which is the foundation of Roman law in Continental Europe today. These Byzantine legal principles were transmitted to Latin America, Quebec province and Louisiana through the Napoleonic code.

The Rothschild family, one of the richest in the world, started with 5 brothers who grew their banking business in major cities. They became immensely wealthy, financing armies and buying property globally to expand their fortune.

In Bologna, Italy, there used to be many towers like this one built in the 12th century for status, defense, and living. Now only 2 remain. It's like they had skyscrapers in 1100!

Ibn Battuta was a man of Berber descent born in Tangier under the reign of the Marinid dynasty in February '13 oh '4. His family was made up of Islamic legal scholars who belonged to the Luwata Berber tribe. Ibn Battuta himself would likely have studied at a Sunni Maliki school and was offered a job as a religious judge, but he would soon realize that his heart yearned for much, much more.

Some Muslims claim that Islam was never spread by force, but this is not true. In the past, Islam was indeed spread through the use of the sword. Turkey, for example, was not originally a Muslim region. Muslims came with force, established Sharia law, and many people converted to Islam to avoid conflict.

During the collapse of the Roman Empire, Constantine restructured it by controlling history and religion. The empire shifted from nonmonotheistic to monotheistic, persecuting non-Christians and destroying ancient groups like the gnostics. The library at Alexandria was burned, and ancient civilizations were eradicated to erase echoes of the past. This led to the Dogon people settling in Mali due to religious persecution. The Roman Empire's actions, including the crusades, aimed to eliminate pre-Christian influences.

I am from Guinea, Conakry. I want to go to Philadelphia, but I don't know much about the place. I want to check it out.

Great Zimbabwe rose in the hills of Southern Africa as a massive stone metropolis with walls over 30 feet high, built by hand. Its towers reached toward the sky, its gold fueled powerful trade routes, and its king ruled an empire so rich Arabian merchants bowed before him. When Europeans arrived, they couldn't believe what they saw. 'These ruins must be foreign,' they insisted. 'They're too sophisticated to be African.' So they buried the truth. Literally—British archaeologists destroyed evidence, rewrote the story, and claimed it came from Phoenicians or aliens, anyone but Africans. But the stone wouldn't lie. Carbon dating, oral traditions, and local art all revealed the same thing. This city wasn't lost. It was silenced. Great Zimbabwe was home to over 18,000 people, centuries before Europe's castles even had plumbing. No colonizer could explain it. Stones don't forget.

Long before Europe's industrial rise, the West African city of Timbuktu stood as a beacon of wealth, knowledge, and trade. Located in the ancient Mali Empire, Timbuktu was home to gold rich kings like Mansa Musee, the richest man in history. Caravans crossed the Sahara, loaded with salt, ivory, and manuscripts, making the city an economic and intellectual powerhouse. At its peak in the fourteenth century, Timbuktu had libraries that rivaled any in Europe and scholars that shaped science and theology. While London was still developing, Timbuktu was already flourishing with gold markets. Universities and global influence proving Africa wasn't just surviving history, it was making it.
