Journalist Richard Poe examines evidence from linguistics, archaeology, and anthropology for his argument that Egyptian explorers reached Greece three to four thousand years ago, founding cities, cults, and royal dynasties that kindled Western civilization. With a foreword by Molefi Kete Asante, the book travels from the highlands of Ethiopia to the steppes of Russia in pursuit of a forgotten African age of exploration. It appeared in 1997, in the wake of the Black Athena controversy, and remains one of the most debated popular works on Africa's role in the ancient world.
