My reply to a post, re: Egypt.

Why should a country need to defend its geography?

The same nonsense was spewed when European Continent-stealers saw the Great Stone Wall of Zimbabwe; they went out of their minds to seek a mythical White origin!

Even though they could see the Zimbabweesns continuing the tradition of stone carving that they learned from their parents!

European colonizers ransacked and comprehensively looted places like Benin City, and burned what they couldn't cart away, and their “historians” followed years later, chronicled the ruins, and distorted history by claiming that was the people’s way of life.

Of course, they didn't point out that the handwork of the people that they termed “primitive savages” adorned their palaces and museums, and continued to yield them handsome profits from tourism every year!

Questions that Europeans refused to ask themselves include:

Why do people forget that half of human history passed before anyone knew about Europe?

Apart from Stonehenge where do we find anything of antiquity in Europe?

Why do all the awesome civilizations that European mythorians (myth-creators masquerading as historians) happen outside of Europe?

Why do Europeans confuse today’s Europe (which borrowed almost all the elements of her civilization - religion, mathematics, gunpowder, compass etc, from people) with Europe of the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, which routinely, lost half of its population to famine and plagues?

I reviewed Cheikh Anta Diop’s monumental work, “The African Origin of Civilization, myth or Reality” here: https://femiakogun.substack.com/p/the-african-origin-of-civilization.
