THEY CALLED US GODS is the journey and the life of Abba Cwezi people under the extraordinary leadership of their patriarchs and kings from Tanta in Egypt in 1290 BC to present-day Sudan, to Ethiopia, to Somalia, to South Sudan and to what is now Ugandain 488AD.
Until now, the story of the origin of Abba Cwezi people from a country they call Misrihas been handed down from one generation to another in oral form. Sadly, as old people die, much information is lost. This book is a recovery of what is left the life and journey of the Abba Cwezi people, whose name in ancient Aramaic, one of the languages Abba Cwezi spoke, means sons and daughters of God.
The book teaches duty and responsibility as it was among Abba Cwezi people thousands of years ago, but the lessons are relevant to today's educators, students, parents and community leaders.
