"Nsw.t Bjt.j" written by a self-proclaimed linguist is under critical review.

In this video is a breakdown of:

Look alike linguistics
No Archaeology
Conflating concepts
Misrepresenting opposing authors/stances
Bad understanding of History
Poor methodology
Relying heavily on trivial evidence and testimonials
Excessive self citation of himself and a colleague
No citations or references for some arguments given
Using outdated Information
Making up own definitions
Citing authors that would totally disagree with Nsw.t Bjt.j's stance or premise
Cherry picking sources
Poor sourcing
Unrepeatable results

Your thoughts and comments are always Welcomed!

I have spoken to the brother before on Facebook and he came across as extremely arrogant and unwilling to consider other opinions and perspectives.

He was especially vicious against me when I suggested that Kemet actually means Black Land and not Black Soil. The video by Dr. Obadele adds clarity to this concept because the Remetch actually said that Khnum created them out of the Black Soil, so in the Kemetic context being Black(as we see it today) and Being of the Black Soil literally means the exact same thing.

To me, he seems dedicated to boosting his own ego to sell books and doesn't actually seem dedicated to true liberation linguistics. That's just my two centavos.

Yes indeed. Correct method is not of any importance to him. He has delusions of grandeur for him to be above criticism, correction and viewing his work as infallible. My first interaction with him, he was being very condescending. And then a slew of subliminal post in facebook groups followed. Until, however, my team displayed publicly on Team O.S.I.R.I.S youtube page the fallacies of his arguments. No response at all.

Its time for a piece of humble pie.

I remember speaking to him about his claims of "female Kings" in Kmt using Hatshepsut as the obvious and typical example of that. I believe this is what his book is about. When I asked him to produce working examples of Hatshepsut being referred to in the masculine instead of the feminine he could not respond.

He even tried to give the example of "King" being a neuter noun in middle english to substantiate his claim that Hatshepsut was a "female King". LMAO just because a linguistic concept may or may not have existed in middle english doesn't mean that this concept can be used to transliterate or translate a title in ancient Kemet. That is a clear continuum fallacy applied linguistically here.

The brother is a male feminist on the "Black woman is God" tip. He comes from a Greek Fraternity and has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to defending past effeminate actions and activities. This is my calculation of his personal agenda. There is nothing wrong with female advocacy if it is open and honest but he is clearly trying to use emotional manipulation and pass it off as scholarship to sell books. It's so obvious. It's the "Kmtywization" of the negro plantation preacher blueprint.

Yes.  It is definitely the black woman is God Rhetoric in attempts to appeal to people's emotions. He had a whole section in the book called "ain't i a woman" that i didn't go over In the presentation because i wanted to objective, not subjective. But it's basically speaking about what you just said. He also failed to provide evidence to substantiate his outlandish claims. I don't know how this made it to the book shelf honestly.

it's because we have not organized a group of elders to verify the claims that young Bucks make. These New Jack "experts" on Kemet are in many instances worse than the yurugu. We already have too much anti Black Man feminazi rhetoric in every aspect of our lives. The fact that there are cohorts of manginas and simps trying to extend this madness to ancient Kmt is pretty disgusting. This is what happens when we are not adequately organized, especially on the academic level.

Indeed bro... I think a system of checks and balances needs to be in place.. because the more i research this guy the more people i discover that disagrees with him... whats more interesting is that ive never heard him say he was wrong yet...
