- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Truth and absolute is the only righteousness and thus is equivalent to God
1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Author is putting lot of effort to prove a hypothesis and show how other authors have biased and racist views on origin of ancient Egyptians.
In doing so he is successful in showing that discussing this topic without emotion is not possible. In my opinion author is successful in proving bias towards Caucasian origin theses, but in doing so author is bias in opposite direction.
Trough is probably somewhere in the middle so it is worth listening to author view. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very good read especially for black peoples absolutely mind opening
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The evidence that anyone can research for themselves. However, there are those people who are use to a story being told that was totally fraudulent, and this is what they cling to as evidence. Anyway, that is their choice. I follow that hard evidence not that of wishful thinkers who are living off of unearned privileges.
