Slide 2
Abstract According to the widely-accepted claims of world
history, and of those who engage in it, philosophy and all of its
theories, concepts, achievements and advancements have all been
credited to the intellectual accomplishments of Ancient Greece and
its great thinkers. In spite of this, the reality is that what is
understood to be Ancient Greek Philosophy today originated with,
and was influenced by, the philosophies of Ancient Egypt. This work
will explore, explain and provide evidence for this statement,
argue that Ancient Egypt was a Black civilization, and defend the
idea that Black people have contributed abundantly to Western
civilization and have influenced numerous accomplishments for which
Europeans are given acknowledgment.
