Goodreads asked Teresa R. Kemp:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Teresa R. Kemp Great Question! I would travel back to ancient Kemet (Egypt) to see and travel along to better document the migrations of the West African tribes to the East. I want to find out where the pyramid building Egyptians went. (Bantu speaking peoples in particular, Igbo & Ghanaians) They traveled from East Africa to West Africa with their faith in tack prior to the colonization's of Portuguese, Spanish, French, British, German, American and Italians.

It is my theory that some traveled by land and others went by sea to Asia or South America and built pyramids worldwide. (There were 10 pyramids in Nigeria until the British came in the early 1900's. They were destroyed by 1940 and the majority of West Africans and people worldwide do not have any knowledge of West African pyramids!

They had Torah, still make plant based indigo dyes; circumcise and name on the 8th day. Metalsmiths in Awka Nigeria, they still do the lost-wax process. Like John the Baptist, Nigerians still eat locust roasted or fried!

They do 250+ things I document in my book, Keeper of the Fire an Igbo Metalsmith From Awka; as being Jewish or Hebrew.

I am born and raised in Germany and grew up with Jewish artifacts and culture being revived following WWII.
