That it was in Africa the little Pigmy was first evolved from an Anthropoid Ape- in the Nile Valley and around the Lakes at the of the Nile (which i will for the sake of brevity style "Old Egypt"). The Pigmy was first Homo- the little red man of the Earth. From Africa these little men spread all over the world, North, South America and Oceania were populated by them.- Albert Churchward

Quote from Lucian (Greek writer) when describing an Egyptian:"This boy is not merely black; he has thick lips and his legs are too thin..."

Quote from Aeschylus (when describing the Egyptians): "I can see the crew with their black limbs and white tunics."  

Women’s liberation

The more a civilization advances, the more rights does the female part of the population acquire. Look at a society, the status women have, and you know how developed a nation is. In ancient Egypt, the status of women within society was very high.

For centuries Western scholarship, and the African scholars seduced by this body of knowledge, have not been interested in African "religions" per se, but what was worse, African scholars began not to study indigenous African spirituality on its own terms but through European eyes and intellectual categories. Okot p'Bitek, who is best known for Song of Lawino, was one of the first African scholars to call attention to this situation and argue African scholars need not "Hellenize" African spiritual practices and ideas and that what we have come to think as "African religions" are European versions in African disguise. This publication, along with a new introduction by Ghanaian philosopher Kwasi Wiredu, reintroduces a classic work to a new generation, especially for those with an interest in African spiritual cultures and in need of "decolonizing" them so that they be studied, appreciated, and engaged on their own cultural and historic terms.
