White Athena The Afrocentrist Theft of Greek Civilization

Ancient Egypt was one of the great civilizations of antiquity, but it was notthe only great one. Afrocentrists claim that the Greeks stole theirphilosophy, science, and culture, but very few Afrocentrists ever say whichspecific aspects of these items were allegedly purloined. White Athenais author Walter Slack's systematic effort to deal with each ofthese claims as he delves into the following topics: ? The alleged ?great conspiracy? against ancient Egypt ? The illusion of Egypt's ?secret wisdom? ? Egyptian religion and Hermeticism ? Pyramidology, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and Mormonism ? The relationship between Egypt and Greece ? Greek originality and creativity ? Afrocentrism and Egyptian science ? Isaac Newton and Egyptian wisdom ? Afrocentrist fantasies about ancient Egypt ? The myth of the ?stolen legacy? Many specialists seem to have missed a number of factual and logicalinconsistencies seemingly inherent in Afrocentrist writing, which, whensummed, go a long way to undermining their ideological case. Slack takesthose inconsistencies seriously and uses them to build a case againstAfrocentrist propaganda and to seek fair scholarly credit for theachievements of the Greeks.Slack, Walter is the author of 'White Athena The Afrocentrist Theft of Greek Civilization', published 2006 under ISBN 9780595393206 and ISBN 0595393209.
