About Conrad Gardner: The Artist Behind The Truth

From Pirate Drawings to Pharaoh Paintings: A Journey of Discovery

My name is Conrad Gardner, and I'm a self-taught artist based in the vibrant streets of New York City. But my story begins much earlier, with a childhood drawing of a pirate with a parrot perched on his shoulder. That simple sketch became my mother's pride and joy—she carried it everywhere, showing anyone who would spare a moment to look. Little did I know that drawing would plant the seeds for a lifetime dedicated to art and uncovering historical truths.

The Spark That Ignited Everything

My passion for ancient history wasn't born in a classroom or museum—it was ignited by the mesmerizing album covers of Earth, Wind & Fire. Maurice White's deep fascination with Kemet (ancient Egypt) and the band's use of powerful Egyptian symbols like the Ankh and Eye of Horus struck something profound within me. Those covers weren't just artwork; they were windows into a forgotten world of black excellence and spiritual wisdom. That spark became a fire that still burns passionately today.

Street Vendor, Global Educator

For years, I've sold my art and motivational quotes on the streets of New York—not just as a hustle, but as a platform for education. Vending gave me something priceless: the opportunity to engage with people from every corner of the world, from every walk of life. These weren't casual transactions; they were conversations, debates, and revelations.

The Questions That Changed Everything

As I shared my artwork depicting ancient Egyptians as the black people they truly were, I encountered a shocking pattern of questions:

"Why do you paint the Egyptians as black people?"

Initially, I was stunned. The truth is literally carved in stone, painted in ancient murals, and documented in hieroglyphs—clearly showing black people. Yet mainstream media and what I call "racist academia" had convinced so many people of a completely false narrative.

Even more astonishing was discovering how many people didn't even know that Egypt is in Africa, not the Middle East (a term coined only in the 1850s). The widespread belief that ancient white civilizations built the pyramids defied basic mathematics: the first pyramid was built in 2630 BCE—1,830 years before Greece even began as a civilization. The last Egyptian pyramid was completed 750 years before Greece's birth.

Ten Years of Research, One Explosive Truth

These street-corner conversations planted a seed that grew into a decade-long research mission. After 10 years of collecting data, studying ancient sources, and connecting historical dots, I produced my book: "Ancient Egypt & The Myth Of The White Pharaohs - Who Should I Believe: You, Or My Lying Eyes?"

I chose the pen name Truth B. Tole because this work is exactly that—an unapologetic revelation of truth that challenges centuries of historical distortion.

Art as Activism, Products as Conversation Starters

I'm a one-man operation passionate about educating people through art, especially the younger generation who deserve to know their true heritage. Every piece I create, every product in my collection, is designed as a conversation starter. When someone sees my work, I want dialogue to begin. I want questions to be asked. I want minds to be opened.

Step Back in Time, Step Forward in Consciousness

When you explore this site, you're not just browsing products—you're taking a visual journey back to a time when black civilizations built wonders that still mystify the world today. If this work has brought you value, given you a sense of pride, or opened your eyes to suppressed history, I ask you to support this mission.

Share these images with your network. Start conversations at your dinner table. Challenge the narratives you've been fed.

Together, we can raise the consciousness of more people about the rich, magnificent history of black civilizations that mainstream education has systematically erased.

The Mission Continues

Every purchase supports independent research, artistic truth-telling, and the ongoing fight against historical amnesia. This isn't just about ancient Egypt—it's about reclaiming our narrative and inspiring future generations to seek truth over comfortable lies.

Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for seeking truth. Thanks for being part of this consciousness revolution.
