Overview:
This opening module examines how the Gregorian calendar came to dominate global timekeeping and why its introduction disrupted the natural, cultural, and spiritual rhythms of Kemet/Afrika. Learners will trace how European powers imposed this system through colonization, replacing indigenous lunar and solar calendars that once aligned perfectly with nature, agriculture, and sacred ceremonies.
By exploring the historical, scientific, and cultural effects of this imposition, students gain insight into how calendar systems shape identity, community, and consciousness. The module encourages reflection on what it means to live “out of time” with nature and invites learners to explore the importance of restoring alignment with ancestral cycles and celestial order.

By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Explain the origins of the Gregorian calendar and its European roots.
