"The Art and Science of Visual Presentation
African-Centered Lectures, Tours to Egypt and Ethiopia, DVDs and CDs
By Ashra Kwesi and Merira Kwesi
Kemet Nu Productions
The next Kemet Nu Egypt Tour July 2012
Come celebrate with us 30 Years of Research, Travel & Tour Experience in Egypt
Ashra Kwesi and Merira Kwesi are lecturers on African history, civilization, religion and culture. They
present lively and dynamic slide presentation productions and videos based on their extensive study
and travel on the African continent. Their startling and revealing information on the African origin of
many of the concepts and symbols now utilized by the western world is due to their focus on the ancient
African Nile Valley.
These national and international lecturers also conduct the Kemet Nu "Know Thyself" Educational
Tours to Egypt and Ethiopia. Brother and Sister Kwesi link the historical with the present in order to
bring "our story" to life.
Notice the resemblence. It's not a coincidence
His compelling lectures are based on 29 years of historical expeditions in Africa, covering Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana. 14 of those were spent as an apprentice to the renowned scholar, Dr. Yosef ben Jochannan.
