The Stolen legacy














Title: Review: THE STOLEN LEGACY.

Authors: Williams, John A.

Source: African Presence in Early Europe - African Civilizations; 1986, p83-89, 7p


Abstract: The controlling scientific, religious and political mechanisms of Western Civilization are to be found rooted in South European Greek thought, from Thales to Aristotle. But the late Professor George G.M. James in his work The Stolen Legacy dismantles the long-accepted argument that civilization as we know it originated in Greece.


Review: The book is an attempt to show that the true authors of Greek Philosophy were not Greeks, but the people of North Africa, commonly called the Egyptians; and the praise and honor falsely given to Greeks for centuries belong to the people of North Africa.
