Stolen Legacy

Summary:

The book argues that ancient Greek philosophy originated in ancient Egypt and was appropriated by the Greeks, contending that the so-called Greek philosophers were not the true authors of their doctrines but rather translated and plagiarized the teachings of African priests and scholars. It seeks to establish the African roots of Western philosophical thought and to challenge the Eurocentric narrative of intellectual history.

Key points:

1. "Stolen Legacy" claims Greek philosophy was taken from ancient Egypt, with philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle falsely credited for ideas they learned in Egypt.
