The African Origin of Civilization
Myth or Reality
Cheikh Anta Diop|Mercer Cook
The book presents the argument that ancient Egyptian civilization was fundamentally African in its origins and that the contributions of African peoples to world civilization have been historically underrepresented or misrepresented. It challenges Eurocentric historical narratives by examining linguistic, historical, and anthropological evidence to support the claim that the roots of Egyptian culture and the broader scope of human civilization can be traced back to Black Africa.
