Lost me with the claim that the Greeks looted the Royal Library at Alexandria. Alexandria did not exist until after Alexander conquered Egypt. Therefore there was no library to loot. That ideas were being exchanged throughout the Mediterranean world does not surprise me. That so much has been lost from various ancient libraries also does not surprise me. Paper burns. Insects chew. Ink runs in water.
A very interesting read, although the references can get lengthy, the message is clear. I admired Greek philosophy since I discovered it College, but they never taught us the origins of their teachings. This book encourages you to relearn what you have learned and dig deeper into Kemet to find the answers that were plagiarized by European culture. Goes to show you, nothing is new under the sun.
As a person interested in true history, I know better than most how hard it is to find works of uncorrupted facts. This is by far one of the most thoroughly researched and scholarly pieces of literature I have ever had the pleasure to read. There is a viable reference for every assertion made, and should you follow them you will see that Mr. James is in fact telling you the truth; that all greek philosophy is plagiarized Egyptian philosophy. When you search for the truth, you must be prepared to go against the tide. The mainstream will tell you things like Columbus traded peaceably with Native Americans, like Jesus is not at all based on the Kemetic god Horus, that the government has your best interest at heart, and that voting counts. The hard work of finding the true origins of greek philosophy has been made easy for you here, read and learn.
A thorough review of the early Greek philosophers writing with a detailed comparison to the Egyptian Mystery School teaching showing that the Greek writing were based on Egyptian material. This occurred after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and acquired their library. It is suggested that the Greek philosophers were initiates in the Egyptian Mystery schools. The Egyptians were the laid the foundation for philosophy not the Greeks.
Author engages in a master- race fantasy without evidence. Esoteric mysteries arise in any person who follows the divine spark existing within ALL people. Truth has no border or race. Intellectually insulting. The reader is much harmed and degraded by the malignant logic exhibited in this work of what appears to be racial propoganda. Support peace and harmony in the World by AVOIDING this book!
Gives the reader many unknown or hidden facts that sets so-called common knowledge on it's ear. It really makes you want to study African and Greek history. Which culture actually made the history attributed to others? It points out how we have been bamboozled by early historians.
This book really has two different themes going. First, part of this review is based on the audiobook. The book has a lot of information in it, but it is almost just a compilation of information, with some assertions about the information sprinkled in here and there. I've managed to make it through some really dry audiobooks before, just through sheer will. One thing that will make my eyes glaze over, however, is someone reading lots of lists of things. That being said, the combination of the reader and the fact that it sounds like he is reading from wikipedia is just too much. The book is informative and I ended up purchasing the Kindle edition, just because it is a good compilation of material for those interested in this subject. I just couldn't go the audiobook route on this book.The first major theme of the book is that popular Greek philosophers were heavily influenced by Egyptian philosophy (or religion). The author would go so far as to say the philosophy was stolen from the Egyptians. While not an expert, having studied the Egyptian mystery religions pretty heavily, it is very clear that the Greeks were at least very influenced by the Egyptians. I'm not sure I would go so far as to say stolen, but certainly the connection between the two seem to be downplayed. It's somewhat likely that this connection is downplayed because the Western world doesn't want to admit the influence that the mystery religions had on Christianity.It isn't uncommon that a lot of people come into the mystery religions from one or more individual offshoots of it, and notice a comparison between it and Christianity. Further investigation then reveals, long before Christianity was a religion, a whole host of religions that held similar beliefs. Common elements include, a dying and resurrecting god man, who sometimes rises in three days; may or may have not journeyed to Hell to free people trapped there; born of a miraculous birth; performed miracles; may have been persecuted by authorities, etc.A couple of books that document this information fairly well are, "Christianity Before Christ, by John G. Jackson," and the extremely well documented, "The Jesus Mysteries: Was the "Original Jesus" a Pagan God?" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.Often it is hard to explain how these same similar themes popped up over and over again in such different localities and cultures. Stolen Legacy brings it all together very nicely. There were students of the mystery religions that traveled (from Egypt) to different locations to tell their myths (or spread their religions), and to make them easier to understand, the names were changed to fit the settings and cultures where they were being told. As explained, Zoroaster carried those mysteries into Greece, while Orpheus carried them into Thrace. In each of these places, these Egyptian mysteries assumed the names of different Gods in order to be adapted to local conditions. Hence in Asia they took the form of Mithra; in Samothrace, the form of the Mother of the Gods; in Boeotia, the form of Bacchus, in Crete the form of Jupiter, in Athens, the forms of Ceres and Proserpine." (Stolen Legacy p. 74)In isolation, it is hard to explain the similarities between all of these religions. When you understand that people purposely spread their religion to other cultures, changing the names to fit the audience as they went along, it suddenly starts to make a lot more sense.The second major theme of the book is that the ancient Egyptians were black. Unlike how Egyptian philosophy/religion influenced Greek philosophers, which is documented to some degree (though possibly ignored, too), this area is a little harder to confirm. Given that Egypt is physically located in Northern Africa, realistically, the chances that the Egyptians looked like white Americans is pretty slim. In reality, it seems like we are more likely arguing over shades of brown.For interesting information in this area, look up an article from National Geographic entitled, "The Black Pharaohs." It details a series of "Nubian kings who ruled over all of Egypt for three-quarters of a century as that country’s 25th dynasty." But little has been known about these rulers until the last four decades, as they seem to have almost been erased from history (Images of Piye on the elaborate granite slabs, or stelae, memorializing his conquest of Egypt have long since been chiseled away). As the article concludes, "the black pharaohs didn’t appear out of nowhere. They sprang from a robust African civilization that had flourished on the southern banks of the Nile for 2,500 years, going back at least as far as the first Egyptian dynasty."Honestly, this is so far out of any area I have looked into before, it's hard to weigh in on the subject and expect to be taken seriously. That being said, the author of Stolen Legacy makes a lot of good points and as far as skin color is concerned, he makes a good case. Like I said, I feel like any bickering here is over how dark they were, because white Caucasians, they obviously weren't.In the end, I found the compilation of all the material of value, even though I'm unsure of every single aspect of the book being absolutely true.
Thoroughly enjoyable, a critical work and viable reference for those who may question the belief that African people have not made any contributions to society.It shatters the stereotype and falsehood that has allowed some to romanticize with so called Roman Philosophy.Common sense and a little logic should be more than enough to squash the nonsensical belief of African inferiority but historical propaganda ,fear and ignorance have led many astray with false notions of superiority. This book does what we in the conscious community have known for years and have tried to wake up the AA community toyour True Legacy, peace
