Time and Eternity

In the Mayan Calendar there is a long cycle referred to as the long count of 5,126 years that begins with the creation of the world. Accordingly, the world began on August 11, 3114 BCE and ends on so ends on December 21, 2012. Forget about the Mayan Calendar and the end of the world in December 21, 2012 C.E.! Obviously, if you are reading this you are still here. Other Ancient Calendars like the Egyptian Calendar moves the world beyond this date. The Nu African Calendar not only moves the African world well beyond this dooms date, but also provides the Nu African People with a modern 21st Century African calendrical system that is grounded in the history and traditions of the Nu African People. In this work Dr2 Dia Sekou Mari-Jata and Nsibidi Scribe (https://nisibidiscribe.africa) introduces the Nu African Calendar, an exciting and original work. The Nu African Calendar may prove to be the most astonishing, far-reaching and creative work the 21st Century has yet seen. Despite the hype about the end of the end of the world and auto-apocalypse in 2012, based on the end-date of theMayan Calendar, the Nu African Calendar extends that time into the 22nd Century, that is, 2104 C.E., in a note of optimism, based on the fact that Jesus declared : "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone (Mark 13:32, NAS). Dr. Dia Mari-Jata has created the first modern black civil numeric perpetual calendar since the invention of the ancient Ta-Merry [Egyptian] Calendar created in the year 4236 B.C.E. The ancient Ta-Merry Calendar was the first ever civil-numeric calendar used by man. The ancient Ta-Merry Calendar had its development rooted in the history, and experiential needs of the black people living in the Nile Valley. Likewise, the Nu African Calendar is rooted in the experiential phenomena, which is the history, experience, and needs of the African-African People in the American Hemisphere, and may be used by black people the world over. The Nu African Calendar is the first concrete unilateral cultural expression of black peoples need for self-determination, according to author Dia Mari-Jata, since the creation and founding of the African-American holiday Kwanzaa, according to the author. Mari-Jata also believes that like Kwanzaa, the Nu African Calendar has the potential to become institutionalized in the lives, and cultural celebrations of the African-American People in the entire American Hemisphere, and even in Africa.
