Why did the Romans change alkebulan to Africa?

Answer:

Like all methods of manipulation the Romans sought to completely disconnect the indigenous Afrikans with their culture, deities, and knowledge. This could only be successfully done by renaming the all archetypical icons, thereby disconnecting the significance, meaning, and sacredness from any specific archetype. Three excellent examples are The Kaballah in Mecca, Christianity, and the word Tekken. Kaballah breaks down into Khemetic Ka= spirit, Ba = Body, and Allah or The Creator or Creative Source. Christianity which is essentially the youngest religion patterned after The Khemitic Trinity of (Ausar, Auset, and Haru) now The Father, The Holy Spirit and the Son. The Greeks changed these original names to Osiris, Isis, and Horus. The change in language has to be understood by the interpreter, not by the indigenous people, as well, the change allows a complete disconnection after a few generations, the original people will no longer see the significance since their language will not be in usage, nor will they understand the connections in the language to the cultural icon. This is why every culture assimilates a powerful icon from another culture, and after a few generations presumes their culture originated this concept or idea. With Asians and the word Tekken; which means "iron fist" the derivitive comes from, again ancient Khem or Egypt as it is now called. The Greeks refer to the icon as an Obelisk, but the indigenous Afrikans called it Tekhen or Tekhenry. The Tekhen represented Asar and his ressurection. The Tekhen represents the phallus which was errect when Auset received the whole seed from Asar and begat or conceived Haru or Horus. If one is knowledgable about Nei Kung or Chi kung or Qi Gong, then they know the connection between an errect phallus and the iron fist. You cannot have one without the other since the cultivation of the sexual energy causes the by-product of the iron fist and errect phallus. Only if the language is studied do the context and meaning become clear. It would be no different from a spanish speaking person talking with a non-spanish speaking person who tries to mirror the speech but cannot get the complete meaning because they do not speak the language and do not posses the cultural iconic symbols and meaning that intergrate with that specific culture. Linguistics, Semantics, and Phonetics are usually dismissed, but will always hold the key to the truth. Even Zecharia Sitchin with attest to that.
The Romans were engaging in a cover-up, "America" was known as paradise and its Original Indigenous Olmec name was "the Land of the Spirit of the Creator) or Afu Ra Ka. After Cristobol the Roman pope covered up that they had take indigenous peoples from 'North, South, and Central' "Africa" to be branded Negro. The remaining inhabitants were either branded Indian and Negro, the continent was then renamed "America" because it was the last stronghold of the Moors/Muurs/Mohrs and one of the sources of their wealth.
The Romans were addicted to the drugs being given to them by the Macedonians and Khemites such as sugar, kaffee, KA-Ko (cocaine). Like every Junkie they wanted control of the main supply! The roman inquisition and the Christian Black codes of 1724 codified a caste system based on Crayons Black, Brown, Yellow, White, Red, Pink, Grey all by capitalizing an adjective! In order to secure ALL the resources in the Colonies physical and natural. The Corporate fiction was created in order to have power without responsiblity. In those conquered contries backward thinking, backward knowledge, and backward understanding was reinforced. Why else would an 'adult' believe that JOHN A. DOE is the same as John A. Doe?
See Nationality has to do with Natal, and if you don't know that this land is Your land, then you cannot claim your birthrights! Listen we forgive you for slavery, miseducating captured Moors, even the lynchings and burning. Rome wants to keep up the fabrication, make them tell the truth!
=================================================
No offence intended, but I will let the above commentary speak for itself, as what's wrong or erroneous if not absurd about it is self-evident to any knowledgeable person of sense...
The explanation I've read that seems most plausible does involve the Romans in a curious way, however. What we call the African continent today that the Romans knew and came to conquer & control as part of their empire was North Africa, from Egypt to what is now Morocco. The word Africani was a term used/given by them in association with places/peoples in Northwest Africa, and it became a kind generic appellation for this area on ancient maps. Many famous Romans were associated with or came from this area & thus were sometimes said to "of the Africani" (from or related to Northwest Africa) one of the more noted of these being the Roman general, Scipio Africanus (Scipio of Africa). It is thought by some scholars that this Latin word/term Africani was derived from an ancient Berber people there then known as the Aourigah (loosely pronounced "Aour-freek-gah"). Whatever, over time, this became the name/term used to mean the whole continent in general...
==================================================
I would actually have to agree with the first response given. The second does not give a reason, but actually makes it seem as if the name 'Africa' just kind of fell into place. It was done purposely though.

It did have something to do with the Romans and it did have something to do with Scipio Africanus. It was actually renamed in his honor.

However, like I said, the first is more likely the answer. The Romans weren't idiots when it came to expanding their territory, obviously. Cutting the people of Alkebulan off from their traditional culture and knowledge is a genius way to assure that the territory can be held for longer amounts of time.
