Now in its 30th printing, this classic presents historical,
archaeological, and anthropological evidence to support the theory that
ancient Egypt was a
black civilization.
Cheikh
Anta Diop was a Senegalese historian, anthropologist, physicist, and
politician who studied the human race's origins and pre-colonial African
culture. Though Diop is sometimes referred to as an Afrocentrist, he
predates the concept and thus was not himself an Afrocentric scholar. Wikipedia

I was never ever interested in biblical and Western history because it
absolutely made no sense. There were no logical connections and we
we're always forced to believe illogical ideas and claims. It was
always an opinionated bias view where history was overlapped with myth
and forced down our throats as historical truth. Similar to
christianity, one had to accept it as god's truth or be considered a
heretical outsider. Every European inventor is made to be godlike with
incredible genius that just befell them with no prior training, study or
experimentation. Pythagoras with no formal training, because there was
none in his time, invented the Pythagorian Theorem, Isaac Newton
decided to invent Calculus one Summer in the 18th century, Aristotle
wrote close to 1000 books on everything from Democracy, Physics,
Mathematics, Architecture, to biology but had no formal training from a
master teacher. The hypothesis for this book has been proven to be
theoretical after comparing the claims made to both European, African
and Ancient African sources from various authors in various fields of
study. Laid out in a well thought out and systematic approach, it is
obvious that Dr Diop had something to prove and this he has done. This
book has become my Bible! Included with references and encouraged to
verify his works, this book has encouraged me to continue to seek out
the lies that we know have been set fourth by white supremacist to
continue to postulate that people of color not only are inferior but
have no history and have not contributed to modern civilization. Thank
you Dr Diop for opening my eyes and sparking questions in me.

One of my all time favorite books. I had a 1st edition, but it was
stolen. Had to order another one immediately. I recommend this book
for anyone looking for an unbiased book on the origin of civilization. I
love Dr Diop calls it like it is and challenges other anthropologists
biased point of views or blatant lies on the subject of African history. GRAB A COPY!
