Black Genesis: The Prehistoric Origins of Ancient Egypt
“Black Genesisoffers astounding new insights as Bauval and Brophy forcefully support, with hard data, the radical idea that Egyptian civilization was the outgrowth of a sophisticated Black African culture that existed thousands of years prior to the earliest known pharaohs. Their book is a must read for anyone interested in genuinely understanding the true origins of ancient Egypt and the dynamics of how civilizations develop.” (Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., author of Voyages of the Pyramid Builders and Pyramid Quest)“Readers ofBlack Genesiswill never think of ancient Egypt in the same way again. Bauval and Brophy make the case that this venerable civilization was originated by Black Africans from the Sahara Desert and that the pyramids, the statues, and the hieroglyphs were the result of their knowledge and ingenuity. The authors trace the series of errors and misjudgments that have obscured the origins of this remarkable civilization. It is time for the record to be set straight, andBlack Genesisis the book that may well do it. This is an authoritative, excellent, well-written book.” (Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Saybrook University and coauthor of Personal Myt)“InBlack Genesis, Bauval and Brophy combined their investigative skills to answer an obvious but often-neglected question, “Whowerethe ancient Egyptians?” With new astroarchaeological evidence they build a strong case for “The African origin of the pharaohs” and have dramatically altered our understanding of the past.” (Anthony T. Browder, author and independent Egyptologist)“Extremely dense and possibly groundbreaking, Bauval and Brophy make an honest case for a “very different story of the origins of ancient Egypt.” Their scholarship is meticulous . . . .” (Publisher’s Weekly, June 2011)“. . . packed with revelations!” (Midwest Book Review, July 2011)“The tales of the authors’ 2008 expedition and of explorers in the past century add to the enticing read.” (Nexus Magazine, August 2011)“Recommended.” (R. Fritze, Athens State University, Choice Reviews Online, October 2011)“Both authors are highly accredited researchers who have provided an incredibly detailed book examining the connection between the astronomy of the pharaohs and their Neolithic counterparts.” (Fate Magazine, October 2011)“Black Genesisis a captivating, thought-provoking, utterly intriguing read that traces back the origins of the high civilization of ancient Egypt into deepest prehistory. Buckle your seatbelts for a rollercoaster ride . . .” (Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods)
