95% of African Civilization Is NOT Egyptian

Most so-called Afrocentric historians IGNORE 95% OF AFRICAN HISTORY.

Instead, they focus on the Mediterranean corner of Africa (Egypt), as if the majority of Africa possessed this civilization.

This is a very Eurocentric and ignorant way of looking at African Civilization. It ignores and dismisses 95% of Africa's history.

FACT: The overwhelming MAJORITY of African-Diaspora people are NOT from Egypt.

FACT: African peoples outside of Egypt are NOT worthless and undeserving of study

FACT: Egypt is only 10% of Africa's land mass. (Therefore, most Afro-centrists IGNORE 90% of the African continent!)

FACT: Egypt only contains 3% of the total population of Africa. Most Afrocentrists IGNORE the other 97% of people in Africa.

FACT: Africa had examples of civilization before Europeans invaded and imposed colonialism.

FACT: The majority of Africans enslaved (by Europeans) were from WEST AFRICA (not Egypt).

@Adjei88 Ok, so where's your video on this?

@Imperiused The problem is that the so-called "default" viewpoint of history is imposed from a Eurocentric point of view: movies, documentaries, popular books, etc. All peoples and nations are "centric" (as a matter of survival), but the problem with Eurocentrism (so-called "normal history") is that it is racist. What is taught as "Western Civilization" is a myth of Immaculate Conception: that "superior Europeans" supposedly originated civilization, writing, monumental architecture, math, etc.

One of the major reasons white supremacist and Eurocentrics have a hard time believing Africans built Egypt. Is that they believe Africans have never built any civilizations outside Egypt. By Afrocentrism not bring forth evidence great non-Egyptian civilizations the white supremacist and Eurocentrics are right in their thinking. Until we resurrect all great civilizations of Africa we get no where.

It's unforgivable that you forgot the Gondar castle in Ethiopia but since you did a wonderful job that's ok :)

[conscioushaitian]

If not for the Nubians, Egypt would have never became what it was. And Zimbabwe and South Africa had civilizations tens of thousands of years before Egypt.

Hey check this out. The University of Cambridge recently dedicated scholarly backing of an African-centered Egypt & Nubia. They have a virtual museum where you can take a virtual tour and everything. Check it out. Just google "Fitzwilliam Museum Virtual Kemet". To all the unbelievers out there who can't accept the scientifically accepted facts about the Black African origins of Egypt AND Nubia, I wish you much luck challenging the #1 ranked University in the World, The University of Cambridge.
