Protosophy

A concept created by researcher Zenaide Silva, designating the original, initiatory African knowledge system that emerged from Kemet (ancient Egypt) as the “mother cell” of all subsequent philosophy—including Greek philosophy. Represented by the Egyptian goddess Sas (wisdom personified), Protosophy is rooted in the wisdom teachings of the per‑ankh (houses of life), where Greek thinkers themselves are said to have studied. The term aims to decenter Western historiography (“his‑story”) by reclaiming “her‑story” (the mother/African root). Protosophy is not merely a historical claim; it is an Afrocentric epistemic framework that values ancestral African knowledge as foundational, initiatory, and non‑hegemonic.

Example: “Her research in Protosophy traced the concept of Ma’at—cosmic balance—as the original ethical core that later appeared in Greek philosophy, arguing that what the West calls ‘the beginning of wisdom’ was already ancient in Kemet.”

Kemetic Protosophy

A specific branch of Protosophy focused exclusively on the knowledge systems of Kemet (ancient Egypt) as the primordial source of philosophy, science, and spirituality. Kemetic Protosophy studies the hieroglyphic texts, temple rituals, cosmological models, and initiatory practices of the Nile Valley civilization, presenting them not as “pre‑philosophical” but as fully developed, internally coherent systems of thought. It emphasizes the role of the per‑ankh (houses of life) as centers of learning that preserved and transmitted wisdom across millennia. This approach challenges the conventional timeline that places the birth of philosophy in ancient Greece, arguing instead that Greek thinkers were students of Kemetic masters.

Example: “Her work in Kemetic Protosophy decoded the Memphite Theology as a sophisticated metaphysical system—complete with ontology, cosmology, and ethics—written centuries before Thales was born.”

Protophysics

Proto means "before", therefore protophysics is the study of things that comes before physics.

Protophysics, physics and metaphysics are the holy trinity of existence.
