The main focus of the book isn’t how Egypt has contributed or played a role in world history—although that certainly does get talked about. The main focus of the book is proving that civilization originated in Africa and Egypt versus on any other continents as well as disproving the various notions of Europeans and other “white” historians/anthropologists/etc. that have tried to claim that Egyptians were “white” rather than Black Africans. And this book does so very clearly and solidly with tons of data and references and in an accessible/understandable way.(less)
