Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 The Osirica is purported Black Egyptian masonic order. It is mentioned in some afrocentric discussions of ancient History of Egypt Egyptian history . The theory of its existence is based on archeological evidence of an Egyptian village near Dier El Medina . There it has been discovered that the inhabitants were developing their education in a very progressive manner. From there they became the principal architects and builders of the tombs of the Valley of the Kings . The word Osirica may likely have been the Hellenization of the ancient Egyptian word Asauru which translates followers of Osiris . The word is used in many French language French and Italian language Italian references to Ancient Egypt ian culture and history, but very rarely is found in English language English . The word was first used in English by George Granville Monah James book Stolen Legacy in 1954. George G.M. James is a controversial Afrocentricist whose work and motives have been hotly criticised by the mainstream Egyptology and especially Eurocentric oriented scholars. Lately, the Osirica are championed by Afrocentric scholars and students as the original ancient Lodge of the Masonic order Freemasonry , and the foundation of most modern Masonry orders. Thus for many leading scholars, the Osirica are the originators of all Masonry orders in the world. This claim that the classical period Greek masonic orders gained their knowledge from Egyptian sources may be based on legends originating from an ancient Egyptian village at present day Dier El Medina, Egypt. This village was originally named Ta Set Ma at the Place of Truth , and was founded in the New Kingdom in the early 16th century B.C., by the 17th Dynasty Pharaoh Amenhotep I .
