"When an old man dies, a library burns to the ground." -Afrikan Proverb We had a false alarm a few days ago, but the Grand Master has moved on to his next life. December 31, 1918- March 19, 2015 Dr. Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan, also known as Dr. Ben, is an Ethiopian-Puerto Rican writer, historian and Egyptologist. Ben-Jochannan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering at the University of Puerto Rico in 1938, and earned his master’s degree in architectural engineering from the University of Havana, Cuba in 1938. He received his doctoral degrees in cultural anthropology and Moorish history from the University of Havana and the University of Barcelona, Spain, respectively. Ben-Jochannan is the author of 49 books, primarily on ancient Nile Valley civilizations and their impact on Western cultures. One of Dr. Ben’s most thought-provoking works, “African Origins of the Major ‘Western Religions’” (1970), highlights how the roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam originated in Afrika. He also argues that the original Hebrews were from Ethiopia and were Afrikans, while the European Jews later adopted the Hebrew faith and its customs. #DrBen #DrBenJochannan #YosefAABenJochannan #RIPDrBen #MoorKush
