"Vodou in Haitian Kreyol or Vaudou in French are translation from "Vodun" the world first religion. It was practiced by the first (Pharohs) Black king of Kerma (Africa) which means land of the Blacks. Kerma later bacame Egypt meaning land of bondage under Alexander the Greek who appointed the first white Pharoh."
I strongly question the accuracy of this. For one thing, Kmt (Kemet, Kem) is well known to mean "black soil," referring to the fertile silt deposited by the Nile River. Egypt is the Anglicized form of Aiguptos, the Greek pronunciation of H.wt-K3-Pth., "Mansion/House of the Ka of Ptah," meaning a temple of the god Ptah in Memphis. In late Egyptian the -t suffix had dropped off of the word H.wt. Furthermore, Vodou is a religion from West Africa, the Egyptians depicted themselves in their art as having red skin, and what evidence is there that Vodou is the first religion ever? 97.127.96.63 (talk) 04:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
