Description: Written in 1793 by Count Volney, this book was considered somewhat controversial. Volney had little problem establishing from firsthand observations and study that early Nile Valley Africans had in fact provided a basis for the civilization of his time. This book remains a profound and helpful reference for those who are trying to gain undistorted access to the African past.
