PROFESSOR MANU AMPIM SWOLLEN WITH WISDOM ROOTED IN AFRICAN CULTURE

Professor Manu Ampim – (pronounced, May-nu) is more than a man of diverse cultures he holds the blood of a royal seed embedded within a very broad diaspora. He is more than an African based DNA wonder, a humanitarian, a teacher, and historian. A seeker of truth, and a lover of life. He is very modest about an entire lifetime built with hands that are primary to his research. He calls this unique approach to research and study, primary firsthand research. A lifetime full of excitement and discovery. His educational background, although quite impressive, as a professor of history at Morgan State University in Baltimore and at the Department of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State Manu is steady and on point. His master’s thesis is distinct and focused on the life of Dr. Martin Luther King. King who inspired an entire planet and still today his legendary “I Have a Dream” is in full manifestation. Professor Ampim is expanding this body of collected writings into a two-volume work entitled, Martin Luther Kin g, The Evolution of a Revolutionary. There are no expeditionist who have ever been able to go into the depths of remote areas and gather information to film a documentary as he has. Manu talked about the risk taken to make the journey. He has to have two guides who know the area and are trilingual. They speak English and other languages that are indigenous to the area. At times he spoke of the kind of resilience of mind and strength of body needed to start a trip that could take many days and in most cases months. The information that he has managed to gather with a small group shows his particular interest lies in the history and preservation of the Kushite, Nubian, Ethiopian and Egyptian artifacts. Since the 90’s Manu has kept notes on his invaluable contribution to research specializing in the traditional history of Africa, Egypt and the Sudan. In 2012 he co-founded the “Save Nubia” project based on archaeological research on the preservation of ancient Kush and Nubia in the Sudan threatened by the construction of large dams. Also, in 2012 he called this particular field of study, Kushology and has continued his primary research in “Kushology” and is sponsoring a film documentary in Gambella. Egypt. Professor, Manu Ampim and his list of safe spaces in the museums and galleries throughout the world, has fought long and hard to preserve the rich and vibrant cultures of African and Egyptian civilizations. Ampim’s six-part essay on the “Vanishing Evidence of Classical African Civilizations" has written books on black community development and the current Afrocentric movement as well as numerous essays one “Child of Africa” (1994) edited by Ivan Sertima. Many hours, days, months and years have gone into the research of Professors Manu Ampim’s historical and archaeological information, that he has carefully laid out so that truth can be revealed about what artifacts and which history goes where. Although only one, the planet needs many Ampim’s to help make right what has been wronged. His recent book, A History of African Civilizations (2nd edit 2023). His most impactful writings are his long awaited “Modern Fraud” a documentation of the statues of Rahotep and Nofret statues who are considered to be the greatest masked forgery and disrespect of African civilization ever told . Because of Ampim’s research more attention has been given to his 35 years of exposing these truths while touring and traveling in the US and other countries. His various training in academic settings such as museums, libraries, elementary schools and higher institutions of learning and his regal retention of the importance of African, Egyptian and Nubian culture.
