4.0 out of 5 stars
Informative But Tendentious Book, July 10, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: African Peoples' Contributions to World Civilizations: Shattering the Myth (Paperback)
This is a very well written book with some informative data about African history. He makes a very good case to support his theory. One criticism I have is that Mr. Hamilton seems somewhat paranoid about what he calls the "Euro-centric" view of the path 2-3 centuries. I just find it hard to believe that all (or most) Egyptologists, Historians, and Scientists of the past 300 years are deliberately lying about Egyptian history to give it a deliberately European slant. Unfortunately I am not an Egyptologist and cannot comment on the veracity of the information he gives. Other than that I think this a good book for history buffs or those with a desire to learn more about Afrocentric views
