  • London Bridge Is Falling Down  By : Fred Watson
    London Bridge is falling down,
    Falling down, falling down,

    Tutimaios (Tutimaeus) (Timaus) (Dedumose1)
    Tutimaios according to Manetho was the Pharaoh that lost his country to the foreign invaders known by many as the ‘Hyksos’, although the Egyptians themselves would have used the term ‘Aamu’ meaning in rough translation ‘Asiatics’.

The occupants of the rich fertile lands of the Nile Valley would have called it Kemet, Kem, or the Black Lands.
