Many thanks, dear Isaac Samuel. Your article is well-written, clear, concise and empowering. Humanity needs to know the truth, particularly for Africans and those living in the diaspora, to free themselves from the bondage of Eurocentrism, imperialism, and inferiority complex. I came across a recently published book entitled: Beyond Eurocentrism: The African Origins of Mathematics and Writing. In it, the author discusses the African origins of mathematics and writing. A must-have treatise for all of us. Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed this! I really needed an overview of how the Eurocentric view of history was constructed and the Afrocentric reaction. Besides that, I always wondered how Egyptomania made its way into the Freemasons. To your point about these ideas still effect our world today, the Gottingen school of History "three races" nonsense wormed its way into a sociology class I took at a community college course I took in the Southern US back in 2012.
i think freemasons were attracted by the aesthetics of it, i found the part that they played in the transmission of Egyptian concepts and history to the US very interesting
