Synopsis

Relegated to the realm of archaeological heresy, despite a wealth of hard scientific evidence, the theory that an advanced civilization of black Africans settled in the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt existed has been dismissed and even condemned by conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and the Egyptian government. Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting this hugely debated theory of the black African origin of Egyptian civilization.

Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but also had a sophisticated grasp of astronomy; created plentiful rock art at Gilf Kebir and Gebel Uwainat; had trade routes to the Mediterranean coast, central Africa, and the Sinai; held spiritual and occult ceremonies; and constructed a stone calendar circle and megaliths at the ceremonial site of Nabta Playa.

A caucasian friend of mine saw the title of this in my office and dismissed it, thinking it was yet another afrocentric rant or something, but I don't collect those.

A very nonbiased, candid & truthful account of the history of Khemet (ancient Egypt) & the origins of humanity as well as the arts & sciences. Anyone who is interested in uncovering the TRUTH should delve into Bauvals works. You wont be disappointed.......more

Goodreads review by JRT

This book advances the relatively straightforward premise that ancient Pharaonic Egypt was started by “Black Africans” originally from the Sahara. While this thesis should not be that much of a surprise given the proximity of Upper Egypt to the specified regions of “Black Africa,” as the authors poi......more
