The statue of an Egyptian priest that looks like Davido’s logistics Manager, Isreal AKA Juju has emerged online, sparking reincarnation.
The Lector Priest, Kaaper, known as Sheikh-el-Belad served during the beginning of the 5th dynasty of the Old Kingdom, probably during the reign of Pharaoh Userkaf, (c. 2475-2467 BC).
His statue was discovered in 1860 in a mastaba at Sakkara, near the pyramid of Pharaoh Userkaf. “Userkaf, whose reign lasted for only seven years, may have come to the throne as an old man” (Shaw, The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt, p. 109). This life size statue, made of sycamore, is said to be the most celebrated statue of the Old Kingdom.
Ka-aper’s role was that of chief lector-priest, in charge of reciting prayers for the deceased in temples and funerary chapels.
Originally the statue was covered with painted plaster, some traces of which remain. The eyes were made of alabaster, crystal, and black stone and ringed with copper. The facial features are considered to be in the veristic artistic school rather than the idealistic.
The post, which has since gone viral, has raised the possibility that Israel, who is of the Bini tribe, could be a reincarnation. This idea stems from the historical notion that the Binis are descendants of Egypt, according to a research by MDB.
A group once argued that the Binis are descendants of Egypt in an earlier research, and they cited a renowned Benin traditional historian and member of the royal society of the House of Iwebo, Chief Jecob U. Egharevba of blessed memory, as saying unambiguously in his book, titled, A Short History of Benin (1968), Page 1: “Many, many years ago, the Bini came all the way from Egypt to find a more secure shelter in this part of the world after a short stay in Sudan and Ile-Ife, which the people called Uhe.”
This goes to prove that there’s a possibility that Israel could be a reincarnation, as his ancestors might have been descendants of the Egyptian lector priest, Kaaper.
