In Classical civilization, Martin Bernal argues, has deep roots in Afro-Asiatic cultures. But these Afro-Asiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied, or suppressed since the #EighteenthCentury - chiefly for #racist reasons. 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. Black Athena is a three-volume work. Volume 1 concentrates on the crucial period between 1785 and 1850, which saw the Romantic and racist reaction to the #Enlightenment and the #FrenchRevolution, and the consolidation of Northern expansion into other continents. In an unprecedented tour de force, Bernal makes meaningful links between a wide range of areas and disciplines--drama #poetry, #myth, #theological controversy, #esoteric #religion, #philosophy, #biography, language, #historical narrative, and the emergence of "modern scholarship."
