Among the many names Alkebu-lan [the "mother of mankind" or "garden of eden"] was called the following: "ETHIOPIA, CORPHYE, ORTEGIA, LIBYA," and "AFRICA"--the latest of all. "ALKEBU-LAN" is the oldest, and the only one of indigenous origin. It was used by the Moors, Nubians, Numidians, Khart-Haddans [Carthagenians], and Ethiopians. "AFRICA," The current misnomer adopted by almost everyone today, was given to this continent by the Ancient Greeks and Romans.
Alkebulan (Al-cable-in), it sounds like a wonderful name. They say it’s the original name for Africa. Depending on who you ask it can mean “The Garden of Eden,” which is cool, or even “The Land of Sunshine” “The Spirit of Horror,” which is less cool and even “The Land of Blacks,” which is a little racist.
But is it just a myth?

"History is written by the winners," is a phrase that is often repeated. However, it's not true. More often than not the losers write history. What we're left with is a sterilized view of history that does a great disservice to us all. These retellings are often filled with outright lies such as a George Washington's wooden teeth or are told in a way that would make the average person view it as too complicated. I'm here because history doesn't need to complicated, but it needs to be told, and told truthfully.
The purpose of Ultra Black History is to look at history from a decolonized point of view and provide the world with that information.
