    About this audiobook

    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.

      Great book, lots of proof and details, important for archaeologists to listen to
    • 5/5
      Amazing book! Thank you for bringing to light the cultural heritage of black people to world's civilization. It is quite enlightening to know the origin of civilization began with black people. Knowing this will help me begin filling this void in myself and embrace my role in our common shared existence. I sincerely hope that more of us accept this truth to begin the needed transformational work that this time requests from all human beings to usher a new beginning in our human life. We are dearly in need of a different kind of leadership, one anchored in a foundation that embraces an inclusive humanity to be defined, including the development and establishment of Trans-Race-Community (TRC) across the globe, built on Interdependent-Autonomous- Community- Priciples-Paradigm (TRC-IACPP) . This book has planted the seeds of hope in my mind that TRC-IACPP is a possibility, and perhaps the path to our salvation, our humanity reset button.
