In Stolen Legacy, George G M James presents a revolutionary retelling of the history of Western civilization. He challenges the notion that the ancient Greeks were the sole source of knowledge and intellectual achievement, and instead argues that many of the ideas and concepts that are credited to them, such as philosophy and democracy, were actually stolen or heavily influenced by the civilizations of Africa and Egypt.
By drawing upon historical evidence and a nuanced understanding of cultural exchange, James presents a compelling case for the overlooked contributions of African and Egyptian civilizations to the development of Western thought. This book is not only an important corrective to the traditional narrative of Western history, but also a thought-provoking exploration of the true sources of knowledge and the ways in which they have been transmitted through the ages. Whether you are a student of history or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of the world, Stolen Legacy is a must-read.
