In this ground-breaking book, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and
astrophysicist Thomas Brophy uncover the mystery of Imhotep, and
ancient Egyptian superstar, pharaonic Da Vinci, Michelangelo,
Galileo, and Newton all rolled into one. Based on their research at
the Step Pyramid Complex at Saqqara, Bauval and Brophy delve into
observational astronomy to 'decode' the alignments and other design
features of the Step Pyramid Complex, to uncover the true origins
and genius of Imhotep. Like a whodunit detective story they follow
the clues that take them on an exhilarating magical mystery tour
starting at Saqqara, leading them to temples in Upper Egypt and to
the stones of Nabta Playa and the black African stargazers who
placed them there.
"Imhotep the African" describes how Imhotep was the ancient link
to the birth of modern civilization, restoring him to his proper
place at the center of the birthing of Egyptian, and world,
civilization.
Presents proof that an advanced black African civilization
inhabited the Sahara long before Pharaonic Egypt
- Reveals black Africa to be at the genesis of ancient civilization
and the human story
- Examines extensive studies into the lost civilization of the
"Star People" by renowned anthropologists, archaeologists, genetic
scientists, and cultural historians as well as the authors'
archaeoastronomy and hieroglyphics research
- Deciphers the history behind the mysterious Nabta Playa
ceremonial area and its stone calendar circle and megaliths
Relegated to the realm of archaeological heresy, despite a wealth
of hard scientific evidence, the theory that an advanced
civilization of black Africans settled in the Sahara long before
Pharaonic Egypt existed has been dismissed and even condemned by
conventional Egyptologists, archaeologists, and the Egyptian
government. Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert
Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the
anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and
genetic research supporting this hugely debated theory of the black
African origin of Egyptian civilization.
Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and
their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the
authors show how the early black culture known as the Cattle People
not only domesticated cattle but also had a sophisticated grasp of
astronomy; created plentiful rock art at Gilf Kebir and Gebel
Uwainat; had trade routes to the Mediterranean coast, central
Africa, and the Sinai; held spiritual and occult ceremonies; and
constructed a stone calendar circle and megaliths at the ceremonial
site of Nabta Playa reminiscent of Stonehenge, yet much older.
Revealing these "Star People" as the true founders of ancient
Egyptian civilization, this book completely rewrites the history of
world civilization, placing black Africa back in its rightful place
at the center of mankind's origins.
