More About The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality
Egypts prestige abroad was so intact that the King of Tyre declared: All industries came from Egypt and all sciences first shone forth there (cf. Pirenne, II, 505). Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality // In the Lake Debo region (in Mali, on the Niger), pyramids are also found, and these were dubbed mounds, as might be expected. This is the usual procedure in the attempt to disparage African values. In contrast, there is the reverse procedure consisting of describing a clay tumulusa real moundin Mesopotamia, as the most perfect temple that the human mind can imagine. It goes without saying that such reconstructions are generally mere wishful thinking. Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality // If the African anthropologist made a point of examining European races under the magnifying glass, he would be able to multiply them ad infinitum by grouping physiognomies into races and subraces as artificially as his European counterpart does with regard to Africa. He would, in turn, succeed in dissolving collective European reality into a fog of insignificant facts. Cheikh Anta Diop, The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality //
An excellent and thorough proof that the Ancient Egyptians were, in fact, black. I'd like to say that this debate has since been settled, but given the number of movies who cast white actors and actresses to play ancient Egyptians and the number of books that depict them with light skin, this is an ongoing battle. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. its such an interesting book I found this book on the Metro in DC years ago. What a godsend. I've been reading Egyptian and African history since. Oh, and the verdict is yes. And don't give me any Liberal White Shame crap. I done did the research, bubba.
