Product Description

Black Man of the Nile and His Family, first published in 1972, is Dr. Ben's best known work. It captures much of the substance of his early research on ancient Africa. In a masterful and unique manner, Dr. Ben uses Black Man of the Nile to challenge and expose "Europeanized" African History. He points up the distortion after distortion made in the long record of African contributions to world civilization. Once exposed he attcks these distortions with a vengence, providing a spellbinding corrective lesson in our story.

5.0 out of 5 stars a concise footnoted book that expose historical distortions, June 22, 1998

By A Customer

A masterful book that expose the historical distortions of the Black Man of the Nile.Hieroglyphics,mathematics,shetches of the Head of the Royal Egyptian , Bronze Statue of IMHOTEP,The Great Spinx of Ghizeh, and the Black Madonna and Child are samples of Great Cultural History of the Man Black of The Nile. Our Education system here in the United States always leave out the Real facts of the great accomplishment of the Black Man in the World. These facts are distorted only to keep a race of people down for their benefit. This book will educate one on how history is so wonderful to read and understand why society behaves to any group of people in the negative manner, because their history hold something very valuble that the rest of the world should not know!!!!!!!!!.
