Product Description
Challenging the notion that civilization started in Greece, this uncompromising classic attempts to prove that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not Greeks but Egyptians. The text asserts that the praise and honor blindly given to the Greeks for centuries rightfully belong to the people of Africa, and argues that the theft of this great African legacy led to the erroneous world opinion that the African continent has made no contribution to civilization. Quoting such celebrated Greek scholars as Herodotus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Thales, and Pythagoras, who admit to the influence of Egyptian studies in their work, this edition sheds new light on traditional philosophical and historical thought. Originally published in 1954, this book features a new introduction.

 The Greeks Copied Egyptian Knowledge - and the Greeks were not White. August 24, 2008
Ok, forget the whole "Black Egyptians" thing for one minute. This book exposes the fraud that is "Greek philosophy" and reveals that all of the geometry and philosophy we credit to the Greeks was already a part of Ancient Egyptian civilization.
This is a POWERFUL book because it questions the "Virgin Birth" story we are told about so-called Greek philosophy and examines the purported chronology of the Pre-Socratic "Greek" Philosophers:
**** Almost all of the Pre-Socratic "Greek" philosophers were born OUTSIDE of Greece (mostly in Asia Minor).
**** All of the Pre-Socratic "Greek" philosophers were persecuted by the Athenian State. They were either exiled, convicted, or killed for teaching FOREIGN IDEAS.
**** Nearly all the "Greek" philosophers studied in Egypt or traveled to Egypt to glean knowledge from the Egyptian masters. (Verified by the classical historian Herotodus).
**** Socrates himself was put to death for "introducing foreign divinities and corrupting the youth."
**** The entire chronology of "Greek" philosophers was compiled by...the Greeks themselves!
**** Alexander The Great of Macedon's conquest of Egypt provided Aristotle with a massive library of knowledge. Aristotle's school then credited him with over 400 books (and later on 1,000 books)!
This book made me research more about the Ancient Greeks. The more I looked into it, the more I saw that Greek knowledge was highly derivative from Egypt.
The modern West needs to be able to claim the Ancient Greeks as being WHITE because this allows GERMANS and ANGLOS (Americans, included) to construct a FANTASY HERITAGE where they falsely claim to have something to do with the Ancient Greeks.
Northern Europeans had absolutely NOTHING to do at all with the Ancient Greeks! Modern Greeks do NOT identify with Anglos or Germans or Northern Europeans (and they never did!)
This book may have an agenda. But the information inside the book is dangerous to the EUROCENTRIC FRAUD that is called "Western Civilization". The Ancient Greeks were a Mediterranean Civilization. They were never in England. Their civilization did not come from Germany. Their knowledge of philosophy did not come from France.
The Ancient Greeks were a mixed-race people, like all Mediterranean peoples were, including the Egyptians themselves.
We are told a major lie about Ancient Greece (that it was an Immaculate Conception and that it was White). This books takes a major step in unraveling it. The other book that deals the knockout blow to Eurocentrism is "Eastern Origins of Western Civilization" by John Hobson.
****The Eastern Origins of Western Civilisation****
The Ancient Greeks were excellent notetakers. And the Germans and English had absolutely ZERO, ZIP, NADA to do with Greek civilization. And that makes this book dangerous = it exposes the false claims of Northern Europe and "Western Civilization."

HLA genes in Macedonians and the sub-Saharan origin of the Greeks:

3) Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan (Ethiopian) people, which separate them from other Mediterranean groups. Both Greeks and Ethiopians share quasi-specific DRB1 alleles, such as *0305, *0307, *0411, *0413, *0416, *0417, *0420, *1110, *1112, *1304 and *1310. Genetic distances are closer between Greeks and Ethiopian/sub-Saharan groups than to any other Mediterranean group and finally Greeks cluster with Ethiopians/sub-Saharans in both neighbour joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses. The time period when these relationships might have occurred was ancient but uncertain and might be related to the displacement of Egyptian-Ethiopian people living in pharaonic Egypt

If I look at you and see no pigmentation than you are white. If there is pigmentation than you are black. Indians, Chinese, koreans, italians, and needless to say africans, african americans peresians and Iraquians and the list goes on. So the significance of a stolen history not only refer to blacks, but all who claim not to be black.

Having read a good deal of the reviews on this title, it is clear that most mis-understand the importance of this work. First Professor James puts fourth some very important facts which he supports with cross-references to historical text. There are some who call this a flawed work yet they fail to point out just where and with what they have taken exception to. If it is doctrinal in relation to Kemet then I would have to disagree, I would also ask as to whom they are referencing when making these claims. Is it Rosalie David? Howard Carter? Or some other self-confessed Egytologist? Or is it simply much easier to criticize a work they don't understand? The importance of this work is to let Black "men and women," know that you have been called to a higher standard of living than we currently recognize. Whereas it is considered honorable and righteous to worship and ascribe all that we achieve to a deified version of ourselves. I would ask how can we save our selves and "if God is no respector of persons," then how can one man earn the distinction of saviour of the world?
Well he couldn't, but what if we all ascribed to a higher standard of living under a system which requires a long period of self-examination, disciplined study and self-sacrafice? Then could we advance not only our culture but civilization as a whole? It doesn't take long to view the current state of the world to see that the accepted doctrines be it Judaism, Christianity, Islam or any other you may deem relevant, lack the power and insight to inspire man to a higher standard of living. It just might be that the reason for this lack of power, insight and influence lies in the fact that they are all copies of something much more profound. Something born of a devotion to a communal way of living. A way of life where the development and advancement of universal ideals are much more important than individual achievement and promotion.
So would you qualify as a candidate for admission into the mystery system? Did you recognize the character of Jesus was proving his worthiness as a student of the mysteries when he rebuked his disciple "Peter" and accepted his fate not as a human sacrifice but as a demonstration that he had become "Godlike," through self-denial of external needs and cultivation of his mind. So in essence if Jesus were to return he would have failed in his quest to escape the ten bodily fetters and the curse of transmigration. There is more evidence supporting the theory that Jesus was indeed a student in the mystery system than any notion that he was god in the flesh delivered up as a sacrifice for the sins of the world.

This book is packed with knowledge which most Afrikans already knew that we are the first people who created the foundation of this NOW society. However, our founding fathers/mothers Auar, Heru, and Auset of Kamit had a strong foundation of the Tree of Life and 42 commandments of Maat that western man cut down to ten and we still do not adherd to them. This book is very much worth your investment to read again and again to unlock the massive destruction the powers that be has done negatively to the masses. Man is on a self distructive path as we continue to pollute our environment, breathing toxins from the air the food we eat and the negative images the of media! We are the only animal that doesn't respect the laws of nature. We are the "intellegent" one of the species?!?!?
