Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Ancient Egypt is routinely regarded as a non-African cultural form.
The significance of Ancient Egypt for the rest of Africa is a hotly
debated issue with complex ramifications. This book considers how
Ancient Egypt was dislocated from Africa, drawing on a wide range
of sources. It examines key issues such as the evidence for actual
contacts between Egypt and other early African cultures, and how
influential, or not, Egypt was on them. Some scholars argue that to
its north Egypt's influence on Mediterranean civilization was
downplayed by western scholarship. Further a field, on the African
continent perceptions of Ancient Egypt were colored by biblical
sources, emphasizing the persecution of the Israelites. An
extensive selection of fresh insights are provided, several
focusing on cultural interactions between Egypt and Nubia from 1000
BCE to 500 CE, developing a nuanced picture of these interactions
and describing the limitations of an 'Egyptological' approach to
them.
