Classical civilisation, Martin Bernal argues, has deep roots in Afro-Asiatic cultures. But, these afro-asiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied, or suppressed since the eighteenth century.
The popular view is that Greek civilisation was the result of the conquest of a sophisticated but weak native population by vigorous indo-european speakers or aryans from the north. But the classical greeks, Bernal argues, knew nothing of this aryan model. They did not see their political institutions, science, philosophy, or religion as original, but rather as derived from the east in general, and Egypt in particular.
This book concentrates on the crucial period between 1785 and 1850, which saw the romantic and racist reaction to the enlightenment and the french revolution, and the consolidation of northern expansion into other continents.
