“Black Genesis offers astounding new insights as Bauval and Brophy forcefully support, with hard data, the radical idea that Egyptian civilization was the outgrowth of a sophisticated Black African culture that existed thousands of years prior to the earliest known pharaohs. Their book is a must read for anyone interested in genuinely understanding the true origins of ancient Egypt…” The above is a quote from author, Robert M. Schoch, and Psychology Professor Stanley Krippner agrees with him. The professor states that, 'The authors trace the series of errors and misjudgments that have obscured the origins of this remarkable civilization [Egypt]….This is an authoritative, excellent, well-written book.'”

In this book an Egyptologist and astrophysicist put forth their archaeoastronomical research, hieroglyphic and genetic research, and more to prove that Egypt originated from an advanced black civilization in the Sahara. The work includes their solution to the puzzle of the megalith circle in Egypt and Bauval’s conclusion that the Giza pyramids and their airshafts were aligned with the stars in Orion’s belt. They also discuss some of the resistance to the idea that the Egyptian pyramids and temples have an astronomical alignment.

If correct, this book “…completely rewrites the history of world civilization, placing Black Africa back in its rightful place at the center of mankind’s origins”. However, most traditional Egyptologists and archeologists are disdainful of the book’s theories. Whose side are you on?
