Kodesh, also known by several sacred names—including Tama-Re, Egypt of the West, Wahanee, The Golden City Wahanee, and The Holy Land—was the spiritual and cultural headquarters for the Nuwaubian Nation. Located in Eatonton, Georgia, this land served as a central gathering place for Nuwaubians.
The property itself encompassed 476 acres, but only about 19 acres were actively developed and utilized. Those 19 acres were transformed into a visually striking complex that reflected the Egyptian, Moorish, and indigenous themes. Structures were built in the style of ancient Kemet (Egypt), including pyramids, sphinxes, temples, and statues representing various deities and symbolic figures. The architecture and layout served both spiritual and educational purposes, offering a living model of Nuwaubian cosmology, history, and identity.
Kodesh was not just a place of worship—it was a thriving cultural center. Visitors and members would come for celebrations, holy days, community events, and teachings. It stood as a testament to self-determination, cultural pride, and spiritual awakening.
Though the land is no longer in hands of the Nuwaubian Nation, it remains a powerful symbol of what the community once built and the vision they still hold. Many knows its energy and legacy continue to live on through the people and their collective memory, even as the struggle for Dr. York’s freedom continues.
