It is clear, the author of “The Origin Of The Male And Female Symbols” is operating at a significant disadvantage to understanding. This is shown by his statement:
”They illustrate how an apparently simple historical question in science...may lead into many unrelated branches of scholarship.”This is an example of the fundamental fragmentation that plagues the world. It is a metaphor for the Ogoan mind. To say branches of scholarship are unrelated is to start off on the wrong foot and work against the purpose of scholarship. All knowledge is related. Stearns does not connect all knowledge, thus is unable to connect the African Ankh to the origin of Female/Male Gender Sex Symbols. To compound the problem, Stearns does not credit Africa for the origin of Science and Astrology because the sources he relies on does not. Stearns relies upon a date in the 700's BC as the origin of Astrology when it is clear, from a brief study of world history, Africans were using Astrology for hundreds of thousands of years prior and continuously since 40,000 years ago. (1). On page 3 of Stearn's article, it is even easier to see the African Ankh Female/Male Gender Sex Symbol Connection. These are the earlier versions of the symbols prior to further current corruptions for reasons likely beyond the aesthetic. The greatest truth in the article is that Linnaeus copied from the Greeks who copied from the Babylonians who were Africans generations removed. These Africans of Babylon in Mesopotamia had fallen into the hands of the Persians around the same time Egypt fell into Persian hands. The Persians, looted Egypt of its knowledge and used it in its empire which included Babylon. When Alexander The Great of Macedonia (Greece) came along, he took Babylon and Egypt from the Persians. So the knowledge Alexander The Great took from Persia came from Egypt directly and Egypt by way of Babylon. Egypt was still being fed by Nile Valley Civilizations just as surely as the 4,100+ mile long Hapi River fed their lands. Likewise, Egypt continued to feed the rest of the world. It is a natural progression of the flow of knowledge. From the Gardens of Birth [Eden] all things come forth.
