Product Description
Product Description
Challenging the notion that civilisation started in Greece, this uncompromising classic attempts to prove that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not Greeks but Egyptians. The text asserts that the praise and honour blindly given to the Greeks for centuries rightfully belong to the people of Africa, and argues that the theft of this great African legacy led to the erroneous world opinion that the African continent has made no contribution to civilisation. Quoting such celebrated Greek scholars as Herodotus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Thales, and Pythagoras, who admit to the influence of Egyptian studies in their work, this edition sheds new light on traditional philosophical and historical thought. Originally published in 1954, this book features a new introduction.

This review is from: Stolen Legacy: Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy (Paperback)
This book is full of truth and I'm sure that those contesting this are Greeks or White Europeans, refusing to even question their false history. It is well known that the Greeks learnt from the Egyptians and it appears to me, that the author is just clarifying this. Therefor, it's not a case of who the information belongs to but more importantly where the knowledge came from. Anyone denying the fact that civilisation began in Africa would just be outright ignorant. If one can accept this truth one would then look to Egypt and the remarkable teachings of the Egyptian people who were definitely black Africans. Lol, I suppose there will be one or two who will claim that the pale faced Egyptians that we see now had the same physical appearance centuries ago.
I only wish that these books were available to our children in school but of course that would never happen because the whole system is based on a lie.

This review is from: Stolen Legacy (Paperback)
One thing is quite clear here,so called scholars & historians will more than likely reject the sources of information that support the points in this book for the simple reason that it challenges the sources & indeed the origins of the data so evidently attributed to the Greeks.If for certain it originated in Greece,then what would have been the point of them having to be initiated into the mystery systems of Egypt in the first place? A Few of the great so called philosophers were initially students of those arcane schools because it was ALIEN to the matrix of thought in GREECE at that time.In fact the knowledge had to be shrouded in secrecy for fear of reprisals & persecution. The verdict is simply this : EGYPT gave everything that history has claimed as originating in Greece.Period! Once you gist through the historical time lines,the doctrines & so forth the book really opens up beautifully to reveal the Memphite doctrines & creation concepts as well as the pantheon of gods,the greatest good & so on. I really felt inspired reading this book.If you're fixated about so called greek literature & history you'll hate this book,tough i say,the truth hurts!

Thought Provoking,

This review is from: Stolen Legacy: Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy (Hardcover)
This book has got some inaccuracies, but you cannot deny its facts. The Egpytians were great architects, mathematicians, philosophers, engineer, chemists and teachers. Learned people around the world have marvelled at their knowledge but have failed to associate them with the world that we live in today. Is it because these Egyptians were black Africans, Pre Hyskos invaison. Instaed they rave about the Romans, Greeks and how great they were. It is as if Egypt has not contributed to the western world. Those of us who know different, both learned and self taught, are fully aware of the influence that Egypt has had on todays world. Just look at the format of Washington DC, Memphsis or a dollar bill and you see a strong link. All the author is trying to do is reclaim their accomplishments and point out the fact that the Greek philosophers, mathematicians were taught by these people. This book will be rideculed for its flaws but more sadly because it ruffles the feathers of the establishment and questions what we have been told to date.
