I strongly suggest the I's who haven't read it to do so, i can put up the site where you can download it if needed. Great insight into the birth of civilizations and religions and how they spread, and how in fact mama Africa and the black race gave birth to all the civilizations/cultures/traditions/religions/inventions etc.

Lot of biblical biases in the book, good read for those of that thought tho.
I think the Arabic writings the people of that area have right now would be interesting reads too!

True VR, but iman think it's even better that he was able to take the white mans book and prove even that was black!

Black scholars of today im famililar with have discredited alot of this work. But as VDR says its more for Bible believers especially those who want to label all black people who came through trans atlantic slavery,as the real or lost hebrews. Hebrew israelites of america swear by this book and are constantly in debate with brothers overs its (in)acccuracies. I own it but have only read up to half of it as by then i knew i was in the wrong place.

I would much love to read the writings those families have saved in Mali, if the perversions havent occurred yet. I saw a South African scholar was there with the researching and translating, I just hope we are in control of the work.
