A century ago, the answer from scholars with little knowledge of hieroglyphs and less of Africa was dismissive, racist: no, today, a major intellectual shift is under way. New African scholarship, grounded accurate multidisciplinary research in and first-hand expertise in ancient Egyptian, contemporary African languages, Greek and Latin, has unearthed oral and written data clarifying Africa's history, philosophy, literature, and culture from the upheavals of today all the way back to the beginnings of human society in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa, East Africa, Ethiopia, Nubia, and Egypt. Professor Obenga is a pacesetter for the new scholarship. Here in English translation, he presents key Egyptian hicroglyphic texts, with line-by-line transliterations and translations, giving new readers access to the ancient documents. Lucid, detailed commentaries guide readers toward a linguistic and philosophical appreciation of the texts and offer specialists fresh insights, enhancing the usefulness of this extraordinary book. The Author: Professor Thophile Obenga, EgyP- tologist, historian, linguist, and philosopher, holds doctoral and post-doctoral degrees from Bordeaux, Paris, Pittsburgh, Geneva, and Montpellier. A member of the French Association of Egyptologists and the UNESCO team that produced the eight-volume General History of Africa, he has taught history, languages, and phi- losophy at universities and research institutes in Africa, Europe and America, ISBN: 2-911928-08-3 9782911928086
