Our Heritage

Our Connection To Kemet

Approximately 2,500 years ago, during the invasions of the Nile Valley region of Kemet (Ancient Egypt), the bloodlines in charge of the highest echelons of knowledge decided to migrate from that region in order to preserve the integrity of the knowledge itself. They used the Sahara Desert as a line of defense because the invaders were not capable of surviving the challenging climate and conditions. Over centuries, these bloodlines migrated across the territories known today as Sudan, Chad, and Niger, eventually settling around the buckle of the Niger river, then venturing into various territories throughout West Africa. These families are what we know of today as the Dogon (or landlords).

Since then, the knowledge has been carefully preserved and protected in humble villages through a rigid system of education. To acquire this knowledge, Dogon youth have to undergo initiation which teaches them how to harmonize with nature. The Dogon initiation is what modern anthropologists call “secret societies” or “mystery schools”.

To protect the initiations, the Dogon bloodlines decided to no longer build elaborate and grand structures similar to the ones they built in the Nile valley which brought the attention of the invaders. They came to the conclusion that such material structures are not a requirement to live a spiritual life of quality; they decided instead to focus on spiritual evolution.

Master Naba’s Cultural Heritage

In fulfilling the heritage of his forefathers, Master Naba dedicated himself to researching and acquiring knowledge that would serve in the upliftment of humanity. The Naba family is a bloodline of researchers, priests, and temple caretakers historically known for traveling to other villages and territories spreading the knowledge and wisdom of the traditional indigenous sciences they have preserved.

The Naba Bloodline is a bloodline of the Dogon culture which runs through the Gulmu Empire. The Gulmu empire is also known for their knowledge and discipline, having preserved a rich culture founded on the M’TAM or Bayuali sciences, now called geomancy. Master Naba was a highly respected son of the Gulmu.

Endorsed by the Gulmu Empire

The highest throne of the Gulmu (Gourmantche) Empire of West Africa endorsed Prophet Neb Naba's mission. His majesty Untaamba now sits on the throne and receives regular reports from The Earth Center. The Earth Center also supports the royal palace through fundraising for cultural preservation projects initiated by his Majesty. Kebtah is also strongly connected with the extensive Naba families of various villages and towns in Eastern Burkina Faso.
