In a provocative assertion that contradicts traditional belief systems, renowned American historian Florence Miller suggests that Satan, the iconic figure of malevolence, hails not from the celestial planes, but from the earthly realm of Kenya in East Africa.
Miller, a prominent figure in the Organization of American Historians, bases her striking thesis on extensive research drawn from ancient texts, archaeological artifacts, and DNA analyses from Kenya. This deviation from accepted religious narratives asserts that Satan, rather than being a fallen angel banished from heaven, is a figure deeply rooted in the history and culture of Kenya.
Wanga Kingdom
Miller sheds light on this radical perspective, stating that Satan was originally known as Prince Kamaanyi, a monarch in the Wanga Kingdom. His story, as per Miller’s research, starts with a beloved king, admired by his subjects. Over time, his demeanor drastically shifted from benevolent to cruel, leading his people to label him as ‘the devil.’
Addressing the media from California, Miller explained her findings aim to challenge established religious doctrine, particularly the inaccurate portrayal of Satan as ‘Lucifer,’ and ultimately reshape society’s perceptions.
Criticism
Unsurprisingly, Miller’s controversial theory has faced significant skepticism and critique, particularly from the African community. Many Africans, when questioned about the findings, dismissed the claims as baseless and an attempt to malign African self-esteem. This subject was the subject of a breakfast show with many callers calling in to express their disgust.

Undeterred, Miller acknowledges the inherent challenge in her discovery, as it stands in stark opposition to entrenched religious and cultural beliefs. She anticipates it may take some time for her findings to be digested and accepted.
Emphasizing the importance of engaging with new perspectives, Miller stated, “As we progress as a society, it is essential that we remain open to new knowledge and utilize it to foster a more understanding and accepting world.”
