Stolen Legacy

This uncompromising classic challenges the concept that civilisation began in Greece, attempting to demonstrate that the original inventors of Greek philosophy were Egyptians, not Greeks. The poem contends that the acclaim and glory that have been lavished on the Greeks for millennia belong to the people of Africa, and that the theft of this magnificent African inheritance has led to the false world perception that the African continent has made no contribution to civilisation. This book gives new insight on conventional philosophical and historical ideas by quoting such prominent Greek scientists as Herodotus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Thales, and Pythagoras, who concede to the impact of Egyptian studies in their work. This book, which was first published in 1954, has a fresh introduction.
