SESOSTRIS THE GREAT, THE EGYPTIAN HERCULES.
By Samuel David Ewing
Pg.225. “Eratosthenes ( ? ) ( From Syncellus ) App.II Fr. 39 King of Thebes 34. The thirty fourth King of Thebes was Sistosichermes, “Valiant Heracles,” ( Sistosis or Sesortosis, “Valiant Hermes or Heracles” ), for 55 years. Anno Mundi 3791.” From Manetho, With An English Translation By W.G. Waddell, published by Harvard University Press , London 1940, 1948.
Sesostris the Great’s name has been translated in various ways from the Greek, Roman, and English translations as Senusret I, Senwosret I, Sistosis, Sesortosis, Sesoothis, and Sen-Wos- Ret I. Sen-Wos-Ret means “son of Wosret.”
Wosret is the goddess who was known as a form of Hathor in Egypt. Wosret ruled over precious metals, wealth, mines, and treasures. The ancient black African ruler, Sen-Wos-Ret I knew Her to be his patron deity during his successful military campaigns, and she was the motivating ideal behind his mission to conquer the entire world.
With that in mind I will now list some of his accomplishments:
1. He used prisoners of war for an extensive building projects throughout Egypt.
2. He was worshiped as a living god during the 12th Dynasty of Egypt.
3. Sen-Wos- Ret I began a series of victorious military expeditions against the Asiatics, Libyans, and various nomads ( Bedouins ) who threatened the people of Egypt. He became ruler of Egypt in 1971 B.C. and ruled until 1928 B.C.
4. He enforced loyalty and discipline in Egypt, giving the governors responsibility for the management of the nomes ( towns ).
5. He was the first Egyptian king to rule over Ethiopia, including lower Nubia, and use its gold mines to add to the empires wealth.
6. Strabo, XVII reports that Sen-Wos-Ret I had built a canal starting from the Nile River to the Red Sea.
7. He ordered the rebuilding of the Temple of Amen at Ipet-sut ( Karnak ) in stone.
8. He erected red granite obelisks to be placed at Heliopolis ( Northern Anu ).
9. He led a great expedition to Punt on the Somali Coast.
10. He had built the largest pyramid in the history of the Middle Kingdom Period of Egypt’s history. The pyramid was 352 ft. tall.
11. He protected Egypt’s borders by winning victories in a succession of military conquests to the South to gain the benefits of the economic mechanisms in Lower Nubia and to continue trading with the nations of West Asia.
12. The ancient Greeks called him “Heracles Kharops” ( Heracles the Flashing-Eyed ), “Kekrops”, and “Sistosichermes Valiant Hercules.” He founded and built Athens, Greece, considered to be the greatest center of culture, academics, art, and the sciences in ancient Greece. This city is credited to being the catalyst for European – based civilization ( the West ) and originated with the black king Sen-Wos- Ret I known as Heracles Kharops.
13. He was the second ruler of the 12th Dynasty, he ruled for 34 years, and built 13 fortresses from Egypt to the Second Cataract. He made use of the harvest from Wadi Hammamat for food supplies.
14. He completed the construction of the Wall Of Princes. He founded colonies in the areas of the Danube River, the Black Sea, Strabo, Book III records that Sen-Wos- Ret I conquered Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Armenia, Iberia, Colchis, and ancient Hindu writings record his invasion of India.
Numerous sources indicate that he was the first man to conquer the entire world centuries before Alexander the Great was born, that this has been a point of controversy among scholars and archaeologist, however evidence is being discovered that verifies the claims of ancient writers.

Atse Haile Selassie deserve to be the man of the Millinnium.The father of Afrca.He was the first black leader to join the league of nations.The builder of OAU and ECA.There were couple of schools before he got to power in the country.Many schools were built during his time including Etege Menen girls school.You have no idea how he was condemned by many people around him when he built Etege Menen,girls school.Girls at that time were not suppose to go to school they had to get married and be domestic wives at early ages.He gave his own palace to be a university.My Dad told me a story that I would like to share One time when one of the Rases and Atse Haile Selassie passed by Tefre Mekonnen and Etege Menen schools the street was crowded by the students Atse was exited to see all those stdents walking on the street and he pointed at them to the Ras and said” look Ras aren’t they beautiful? yezare Abebawoch ye nege ferewoch The Ras answered “they are future enemies of you and Ethiopia, the good thing Is I will not see them then” . Ethiopia had her first patriaric Abune Baslios during his time.Eriteria became part of Ethiopia during his regiem.By the way Isayas and Melesse went to the high school and university that Haile Selassie opened even though they turned out to be his enemies(bagoresequ ejen tenekesku).He has been blamed of being tribalist. He had son in laws and daughter in laws from diferrent tribes.Haileselassie was Amhara,Oromo and Gurage.I have some lists to proof that he was not tribalist.Orom generals:-Gen Tadese Gebre,Dawit Abdi,Mulugata Bully,Abebe Gemeda,Kelbesa Beka,Tadese Beru.Tsegie Gezmu Gadisa,Jagema Kelo etc.Tigre generlas:-Aman Andom,Mehereteab Tedla,Isayas Mengesha,Yacob,Mebratu Fisha etc.cabinet ministers Oromos Yelma Deresa,Bulcha Demeksa,Amanuel Abrham etc.Tegre:- Abebe Reta,Seyoum Haregot,G.Meskel T. Egzie,Dr. Tesfaye G.Egzie,Dawit EqubeEgzie,Belten Geta Lorenzo Taezaz etc.Haileselassie was not perfect.he had done so many mistakes too.Don’t forget that he had an elementary level of education. I am not trying to jusify his mistake.It’s obvious that he had a much better foreign policy than the internal.I don’t think there is any leader worked better than Atse Haileselassie comparing his times leader in Africa.He is the man of the Millennium! God Bless his soul!

Pomegranate juice is already known to be active against several cancers, but a new study out of California has just shown for the first time that it potently inhibits three key processes involved in breast cancer metastasis. The researchers were so impressed, they remarked that pomegranate juice is “potentially a very effective treatment to prevent cancer progression in general.”
