Different Germanic languages have words for "god" that trace back to this origin:
- Old English: god
- Old Norse: guð
- Old High German: got
- Gothic: guþ
The term evolved from the Old English word "god" into the Modern English word "god."
It's worth noting that many languages have separate words for the divine, arising from distinct linguistic and cultural origins. But its roots are decidedly Germanic for the English word "god," tracing back further to Proto-Indo-European origins.
In Black History Gems Essays the GOD Amon / Amma, according to anthropological researcher Dr. Clyde Winters, the deity Amman/Amma has strong connections to various African groups and the Dravidian people of India, who have their roots in Africa. The worship of this god likely originated among the Saharan people, who may have established a great civilization in Middle Africa called Maa long before ancient Egypt flourished. (ChatGPT, 2023)

The Dravidian god Amma(n) is linked to the ram god Amun/Amon. Not only is Amman associated with goddesses, but in DED 183, it is also mentioned that Amman can mean 'uncle' or 'wife's father,' indicating that the term was used to honor and respect both goddesses and esteemed men.
The earliest depiction of the ram god can be traced back to the Sahara, the homeland of various Black African groups, including the Dravidians, Elamites, Sumerians, and Egyptians. In the Sahara, the ram holding a disc or sphere, which later became a symbol of the Egyptian god Amon, was first observed. These ancient people, known as Kushites, were associated with the Proto-Saharan cultures and the C-Group. The Priestess of Amon had to be a Kushite due to the association between Amon and the Kushites.
Cheikh Anta Diop has emphasized that Amon was the god of Black Africa. Among the Dravidians, Amon was referred to as Amman. Mrs. T. Aravanan explained that the Pandyan people of Kumarinadu worshipped the goddess Kumari Amman. According to tradition, Kumarinadu was located in the southern part of present-day South India and was ruled by the Pandians/Pandyans.
The Dogon people referred to Amon as Amma. According to Dogon's beliefs, Amma descended from the sky, representing humidity and rain. The Dogon Amma is similar to the Tamil deity Amman, who is represented as Mariamman, the protector of the people in a village, and Kumariamman.
The mother goddess, Amma/Amon of Libya, had her cult center at the Oasis of Siwa. In ancient Egypt, Amon was depicted as a ram with spheres. The worship of Amon was introduced to Egypt during the New Kingdom.
Both Black Africans and Indians worshipped Amma. The Dravidians were part of the Ma Confederation, and the term Amman referred to both goddesses and male figures. The leaders of this Confederation established numerous ancient civilizations that adopted the Fish as their emblem. The worship of Amman originated in the Sahara, where the early worship of Poseidon, whose daughter was Neith/Athene, likely also began. (Winters, 2022)
Because Black people were the first idea of humanity when Amma decided to replicate and duplicate Itself in Hue-man form, the 1st Frequency African was born, which means Black people are not only closer to Amma than any other secondary species, Black people are Amma’s firstborn! This needs to be taught to our children, and parents must understand the power of who and whose they are. I learned how to think from my spiritual mother, Rev. Dr. Johnnie Colemon, who taught me: “You are the THINKER who THINKS the THOUGHT that makes the THING!” (Colemon & Resse, 1997)

A Word About the Proto-Indo-European
Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is the hypothetical common ancestor of the Indo-European language family, the world's most widely spoken language family. It's called "proto" because it is a reconstructed language; no written PIE records exist. Instead, linguists have reconstructed it using the comparative method, which compares languages from the Indo-European family to determine what their ancestral language might have been like.
Here are some key points about Proto-Indo-European:
1. Reconstruction: Since there are no surviving written records or direct evidence of PIE, linguists use common features among Indo-European languages and reconstruct the possible words, sounds, and grammar of this proto-language.
2. Spread and Descendants: The speakers of PIE are believed to have lived around 4500 to 2500 BCE, likely in the Pontic-Caspian steppe of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. As they migrated and settled in various parts of Europe and Asia, their language diversified, forming various Indo-European languages.
3. Language Family: Indo-European languages span a vast region, from Europe to Asia. Some descendants of PIE include languages like English, Spanish, Russian, Bengali, Hindi, Persian, and many more.
4. Cultural Insights: By examining the reconstructed vocabulary of PIE, scholars can infer certain things about the Proto-Indo-European culture, such as their knowledge of farming, domesticated animals, and basic technology.
5. Sound Laws: The systematic changes in sounds from PIE to its daughter languages are governed by various 'sound laws'. The most famous of these is Grimm's Law, which describes sound shifts that occurred in Proto-Germanic, the ancestor of the Germanic languages.
It's fascinating to consider that many languages spoken today, from Icelandic to Bengali, share a common ancestral language in PIE, and studying this ancient language provides invaluable insights into the linguistic and cultural history of a significant portion of the global population.
