African Origin of Civilization -

I am dyslexic so it would have taken me a millennia to get through this book. I feel privileged to have read it. I will read it again and again. Audible, now you must publish Garrick A Farria's book, which is a chapter by chapter review of this book, updating finds from the last 60 years since this book was written. Keep publishing books like this Audible they are raw and essential.

The connection of the facts to discoveries

A good read, if one is looking for ones understanding of ancient world history to be challenged

Excellent

Cheikh Anta Diop went in on this one. Ancient kemetu civilisation would be proud of this brother, no an ancestor.

Its a long and very informative audio, how about they try in another accent, like using an African reader/voice

WORST AUDIO EVER

how this person was paid for or encouraged to make this audio book using his voice is unbelievable and I see a trend from audible around African and Afrocentric littityre that that narration is subpar and unacceptable, is this racial boas perhaps dictating what they deem acceptable for something they don't fins interesting.... seems that way.
not the first time I've encountered this

Influential, important, dated

More myth building than rigorous academic inquiry. A product of its time that made an important contribution in the fight against the then-paradigmatic school of thought.
