✦ Welcome to the Ma’atutu Reclamation Project
Restoring the Sacred Legacy of Black Indigenous Civilisations
“A people without the preservation of their past are exiles in their own future.”
— Omolaja Makinee, Founder
Who We Are
The Ma’atutu Reclamation Project is a Pan-African initiative founded by Omolaja Makinee, legal scholar and cultural-rights advocate, to reclaim, protect, and restore the ancestral, spiritual, and sovereign legacy of the ancient Nile Valley civilisations—particularly the land historically known as Kemet.
We act on behalf of the Global Collective of Black Indigenous Civilisations, uniting voices from Africa and the Diaspora, committed to restoring historical truth, spiritual continuity, and territorial justice.
What is Ma’atutu?
Ma’atutu is not a religion—it is a sacred governance philosophy rooted in the divine order, cooperative economy, matriarchal law, and spiritual-ancestral traditions of ancient Black African civilisation. Where others have had capitalism or theocracy, Africa had Ma’atutu—a principle of balance between Nature, cosmos, people, and governance.
The ancient temples of Kemet were not just monuments—they were living universities, libraries, and spiritual sanctuaries that shaped the scientific, ethical, and cosmological thought of the Black world. They are now desecrated, politicised, and stripped of their sacred custodianship by a foreign nationalist project.
Our Mission
We are reclaiming what was always ours.
Our goal is to establish an African Vatican-like religious territory, governed by the African Union, where the sacred sites of Kemet (currently within eastern Egypt) are extricated from Arab nationalist jurisdiction and restored as an ancestral spiritual homeland for all Black peoples.
This includes:
- Legal petitions to international human rights bodies (ACHPR, UN, UNESCO).
- Advocacy for a new Pan-African spiritual pilgrimage site under the name Kemet.
- Restoration of indigenous African philosophies and pantheistic epistemologies through education, museum curation, and cultural diplomacy.
- Rebuilding of ancestral governance systems under the principle of Ma’atutu.
Why This Matters
For over a century, African civilisations have been rewritten by others—erased, denied, repackaged. The Arabisation of ancient Kemet has replaced Black ancestral legacy with a nationalist mythology. The pyramids, tombs, and temples of our forebears are marketed for tourism, while Black Africans are cut off from their spiritual motherland.
We ask:
Would Arabs tolerate African or American ownership of Mecca?
Would the Vatican surrender its sovereignty to a secular regime?
So why is the ancestral sacred land of Black civilisations treated as dispensable?
