"Hatip" Sisters & Brothers!

"HOTEP" (It's Meaning & Origin)

"Hatpi"

...is the Akkadian pronunciation of the New Kingdom Kami (i.e. Egyptian) word for "Peace". Today, a lot of people pronounce it as "Hotep" or spell it as "Hetep". An older pronunciation of it would be "Hatip" an indigenous Kami pronunciation as revealed on page 36 of Antonio Loprieno's book "Ancient Egyptian; A Linguistic Introduction". The actual orthodox spelling of it would be "htp".

Many Thanks to Brother Djehuti for his wonderful teachings here at Drum
Beat!

My name is Yoshayah Ben Yehudah, Chairmen of The Drum Beat's Board of Directors and this introduction is about a new African American community service called...

"The Drum Beat Interactive Information Center"

A serious "people of color" issues, news, and topics source! We would like to become available to as many of our Sisters and Brothers as
possible!
Please view our mission statement at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Cyprus/5966/Statement1.html


Our main goal is to provide a means for sharing informative information through our membership.

In other words, "E-NETWORKING" by sisters and brothers from all over the world!


Secondly, we're working to establish a meeting place for brothers & sisters to interact with topics and events, that has an impact on our communities the world over. Hence, the egroups community accounts (where Drum Beat first got started), the bulletin board (on our website) and the temporary chatroom (which when our membership began using, we'll create our own chat irc).
Free email service (such as hotmail) at: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Cyprus/5966/FreeMail.html

Or logon at: http://partners.everyone.net/26596/email/scripts/unifiedlogin.pl?EV1=9930616507410


In the very near future, we plan to establish a listing of members personal and business websites. Building a "for the people...by the people" community service.
