THE ORACLE OF WASET

Waset, renamed thousands of years later as Thebes, and then Luxor was where the oracles the Women of Supreme wisdom came from called the Black Doves. The importance of the oracles to the ancient Greeks is apparent from their prominence in mythological and historical texts; however, they were not originally Greek nor exclusive to Greece, nor did they originate there, having been clearly recorded as an Kemetan/Egyptian introduction.

Waset renamed Thebai or Thebes by Greek Invaders became one of the seats of Greek power around 3200 BC. It was the eponymous capital of Waset, the fourth Upper Egyptian nome. It was named after a Greek mythological King At this time Greeks were trying to establish their cultural presence in Kemet and it was still a small Greek trading post, while Memphis served as the royal residence of the Old Kingdom pharaohs. The original Thebes in Greece was said to be the seat of the legendary king Oedipus and the locale of most of the ancient Greek tragedies—notably Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes and Sophocles' Oedipus the King and Antigone—and of other compilations about the fate of Oedipus, his wife-mother, and his children. The original Thebai (the ancient spelling of Thebes) is somewhere in the middle of mainland Greece, about 90 km NW of Athens by road.

Waset was named after the Goddess Wosret, Waset, or Wosyet meaning "the powerful female one" This Kemetan goddess' followers were centered in Waset later called Thebes in Upper (Southern) Egypt ( nearest the origin of the Nile) and her name was synonymous with the Egyptian name of the city, Waset and her followers influenced the Nations of Greece, Libya and Rome.Waset also meant “City of the Scepter” notoriously because of Greek invaders it became known as the “City of the Set” In the religion of Kemet (meaning land of the Blacks), Set (Seth in Greek) was god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners… the quintessential antagonist. The Was scepter on the other hand represents the power and dominion of gods, pharaohs, and priests over such an enemy presence. Amplified by amulets such as the ankh (key of life) and the djed-pillar (god’s backbone/stability), the Was scepter is a symbol of truth, order and control over the forces of chaos that Set brings in.

Contrary to Eurocentrists viewpoints she was no minor Goddess as no less than three Pharoahs iduring the Twelfth Dynasty incorporated her name into theirs: Senwosret, or Senusret, means "man of Wosret".Wosret or Waset was rarely depicted, although no temples to her have been identified in Egypt.it is easily assumed there would be no Temple of Delphi without this deity's influence. When she was depicted, it was wearing a tall crown with the Was "power" scepter (which was related to her name) upon her head and carrying other weapons such as spears and a bow and arrows.The was scepter (Egyptian wꜣs "power, dominion") scepter is a symbol that appeared often in relics, art, and hieroglyphs associated with the ancient Egyptian religion. It appears as a stylized animal head at the top of a long, straight staff with a forked end.

She was Amun's first wife, and was later renamed Mut, Mut (Maut) was the mother goddess, the queen of the gods at Waset (Thebes), arising in power with the god Amen. Together with their son, Khonsu, they formed the Theban Triad of Gods (HolyTrinity). They were also known as the Triad of Waset (or Royal Ka) which consisted of Amun, his wife Mut, and son Khonsu (god of the Moon). Amon, also spelled Amun, Amen, or Ammon, Egyptian deity who was revered as king of the gods.

The creation of this trinity made Amen a seer for Greeks and Macedonians in the embodiment of Zeus-Ammon who became an oracular god and thus stands in the tradition of the prophetic deity

The Greeks called him Ammon Zeus, later shortened to Zeus and then the Roman Ammon Jupiter. Amun was identified as the God Zeus and Alexander the Great often referred to Zeus-Ammon as his true father. So this may be why the oracles held so much sway in Greece as well as Libya. The Oracle of the Black Doves is a system of divination inspired by the Libyan Sibyls, the African prophetesses of the classical world mentioned in the writings of Herodotus. The concept of Zeus Ammon emerged from the ancient syncretistic identification of Zeus by the Greeks who unable to force their belief system unto Kemet absorbed Kemetan belief into theirs with Amun (or Amun-Ra) and the Oracles the all female cult of Waset. Herodotus repeated what he was told by the priestesses of Dodona, the first Greek oracle, concerning its introduction:

"Two black doves flew away from Egyptian Thebes, and while one directed its flight to Libya, the other came to them...The dove that flew to Libya bade the Libyans to establish there the oracle of Ammon" In Kemet however, Herodotus was given a less poetic version of the legend. The priests of Amun at Thebes said:

Two of the "sacred women" of Waset (Seers) were carried off from Thebes by the Phoenicians. The story went that one of them was sold into slavery in Libya, and the other into Greece, and these women were the first founders of the oracles of the two countries! Regardless in the differences between versions, the concept of the oracle or "Sacred Women" perhaps found easy favor in Greece through their close affinity to the already extant and universal mother-earth-goddess cults brought to the Mediterranean by early African colonies and cultures such as Crete and the Minoans. Africans in Crete are “a symptom of conquest and colonial expansion on the African side” The history of Crete goes back to the 7th millennium BC, preceding the ancient Minoan civilization by more than four millennia. DNA analysis is unearthing the origins of the Minoans, who some 5,000 years ago established the first advanced Bronze Age civilization in present-day Crete.

The findings suggest they arose from an ancestral Eastern and Southern African population that had arrived in the region about 4,000 years earlier. So strong are the similarities between the two, that an earlier connection between cultures can be easily inferred. In Crete there were three outstanding forms of the mother-goddess the snake-goddess, the dove-goddess, and the lady of the wild creatures As in Kemet, it is found that one goddess tends to absorb the attributes of the other (Waset becoming Mut). Without doubt birds, and especially doves, played an important role in Minoan belief. According to a current interpretation, doves could be seen as the embodiment (epiphany) of a divinity, a representation of a goddess in a bird form near her sacred place — in a shrine or on a tree which explains why the African women who started the oracles of Greece and Lybia were called "Black doves".

We can see that all of these icons are repeated in the set of myths surrounding the oracle centers, which were imported from Egypt/Kemet, and which relate to a deeper set of African myths that Europeans have only a trace memory of. In Mycenaean iconography doves appear as early as the second half of the sixteenth century BCE and the unique golden ornaments of a naked goddess and a tripartite shrine, surrounded by the doves from Mycenae, are today interpreted by modern historians as foreign African imports. Herodotus noted the religious transference from the earlier earth-mother-goddess to a pantheon of gods between Greece and Egypt, at the same time confirming the status of Dodona as the first Greek oracle site, and places the existence of oracles before the gods. He said:

"After a long lapse of time the names of the gods came to Greece from Egypt/Kemet not long after the arrival of the names, they sent to consult the oracle at Dodona about them. This is the most ancient oracle in Greece, and at that time there was no other.
