The Arc de Triomphe - Symbol of the Kemetic New Year: an ancient African tradition

The ancient Ethiopians would symbolize Èsù Elegba, also known as Ngambi, Nzambi, Legba, Jupiter, or Janus, with the Triumphal Arch or Passage of Victory. The various bodies in charge of religion, laws, administration, finance, justice, the armed forces, as well as the King himself, had to pass through the Arch during a ceremony dedicated to the god of gates and paths.

Historically, this ceremony or celebration was then named:
- Festival of Transition
- Festival of Renewal
- Festival of Triumph
- Festival of Victory
- New Year Festival

Let's discover together why and how the Triumphal Arch is part of a distant African tradition, now forgotten: that of the New Year.
