Najovits has written a 2 volume fantasy about ancient African culture.Najovits remains captive to the Euro-centic intellectual paradigm which places Africans outside of human history. According to this intellectual paradigm , the series of ancient African cultures, commonly called "Ancient Egypt", had its origin in the "East". It further claims that the Egyptians were , unique and mysterious. In the first few pages, Mr. Najovits struggles desperately to fabricate an origin for the Egyptians that is divorced from the Great Lakes area in the heart of Africa. Ultimately, his pseudo-scholarships fails.... The Egyptians looked to the south as the land of their ancestors. The world's first Holy Land was far south of Egypt in the heart of Africa. The first ruler came from the south.Any African, or anyone familiar with African culture would know that the religion of the Egyptians is very much like the African religions of today. For example, the concepts of the ka and the ba can be found almost every where in Black Africa today!The cosmology of black Africa and ancient Egypt are essentially the same. Any African would instantly know that the hair styles of the Egyptians were totemic. The head rest is found almost everywhere in Africa today! The farm instruments are the the same or very similar, so are the musical instruments. Any reader who doubts this can simply study seriously African culture. See C. A. Diop, T.Obenga or A.M. Lam.  Anyone who can read the writings of the ancient Egyptians in the original will quickly come to the conclusion that the South was their place of origin, and that the culture was purely African! The last native African pharaoh Nectanebo ll  fled to NUBIA to escape the Persian invasion, c.324 bc.It is interesting to note that all the hieroglyphic signs are African. All the animals and plants are found in Africa. The ox was unknown in Mesopotamia.The language of ancient Egypt was a Black African language,genetically related to African languages spoken today!! Theophile Obenga and C. A. Diop have demonstrated that the language spoken by the ancient Egyptians is related wolof, Dinka,Nuer,and many other modern day languages. In fact,  many unclear points concerning ancient Egyptian grammar can be clarified by refering to modern Black African languages and  cultures. The same is true of word meanings.No linguist, using modern scientific linguistic  methods, can demonstrate that the language of the ancient Egyptians is genetically related to the Semitic family;it has not been done because it can not be done.In fact, the ancient Egyptian language agrees with the black African language Wolof(spoken in Senegal)on just about every level of the grammatical structure!Mr. Najovits again  misleads his readers when he writes that Dr. Diop simply "declares" that the ancient Egyptians were black. Dr. Diop has produced numerous books and articles on the history,culture and language of ancient Egypt.  It was his life's work.  Najovits  carefully avoids tackling the massive and solid scholarly linguistic and cultural evidence produced by African scholars such as  Dr. C. A. Diop. Instead he engages in ad hominem attacks, suggesting that Dr. Diop may be "a little racist". We wonder if Mrs Diop, a white French woman would agree with Mr. Najovits.The attempt to separate ancient Egypt from its African origins has led Mr. Najovits to  create this 2 volume fantasy of Euro-centric speculation upon speculation on an African culture that he does not understand in the least.Most scholars of Egyptology agree that ancient Egypt can not be properly understood outside of its indigenous African cultural context.If one wants to stay well within the euro-centric intellectual paradigm and read  heart warming Eurocentic myths,fantasies,speculations and outdated opinions that ignores the black African reality and African cultural origins of "Ancient Egypt", then  Mr. Najovits has written just the book for you.
