 Many believe that African myths are incompatible with the notion of " modernity ," but they will change their minds after reading this book. How can one seriously address the topic of " Holy Scriptures " while ignoring the African origin of this concept? As the cradle of writing (Note: the word "paper" has its etymological root in "papyrus") and spirituality, it was under the term " Medu Netcher ," meaning " Words of God ," or " Divine Scriptures ," that Africa conceptualized the Sacred.

 The Bible bears witness to this by acknowledging that it was Pharaoh who initiated Moses into the paths of divine wisdom, and not the other way around! Thus, more than 3,000 years before the Bible, our African ancestors wrote the first monotheistic sacred texts in human history, which, according to many specialists, were later plagiarized by the authors of the so-called "Semitic" texts when they were compiled in the Library of Alexandria. By exploring our African sacred texts, we finally discover our true, original spirituality, which remains, certainly veiled in mystery, but remarkably consistent with scientific logic.

 Rather than inventing a God to suit their geopolitical agendas (as was the case, for example, with theologians of current monotheistic traditions), our ancestors reasoned that if the earth teems with such biodiversity, there must be a reason, and that reason must come from somewhere. For, as the Kemetic theosophist tells us, " the true nature of a thing or a life form is not found in the thing or the life itself, but rather in the reason for that thing or life form ." Our ancestors thus perceived creation as a multifaceted effect proceeding from a single, higher Cause.

 Therefore, by studying the components of this effect through a methodical approach, they would ultimately be able to grasp the axiological foundations of the Supreme Cause and thus understand the reasons for the existence/appearance of Creation. For, they said, " there has never been anything that truly happened without reason ."
 It was then that they understood that a powerful Chaos had preceded Order during the formation of the universe, and that only the intervention of the Supreme Cause had allowed Order to triumph in all its components. Investigating this Supreme Cause, they arrived at this conclusion: " The origin of all things and the Creator of all things is the one Ptah " (that is, the Creator of the Universe). It was then that they established a vision of spirituality that was not theological but cosmo-theological.
 The author, N. Kalala Omotunde, invites you today to follow in the footsteps of our African ancestors in their extraordinary spiritual quest.
