Anta Diop says that Egyptian civilization is for Africans what Greek civilization is for the West, and that the origins of Hellenic civilization were located in Black Africa, which produced thought and science and influenced the emerging intellectual and philosophical movement in Greece.  Ancient times, refuting the Western point of view that the West is the origin of human civilization and its human achievements.
