I really don`t understand point of veiw of this Marc Washington. This book explain that the Africans (from sub-Saharan, Congoid type ?) were founders of European civilization!?
1. Africa is a broad concept, because it`s a whole continent where live not only people from Congoid race type (like modern Afro-Americans). Northern parts from pre-historic times have been populated from Berbers, Tuaregs, Lybians,... which are quite different anthropological from Congoid. They are much closer to original population of Europe then any sub-Saharians.

Ethiopians also aren`t Congoid.
2. Ancient Egyptian were generally from Middle Eastern and North African race stock. There was short sub-Saharan influence during Nubian Twenty-fifth dynasty, but both Nubia and Kush were Egypt satelite and leak with egyptian culture. Of course there was many sub-Saharan slaves, but sub-Saharan slaves were brought also in Roman empire and this fact didn`t effect at European history or race stock. Draw a parallel between Latin America and old Europe. It`s funny to see how modern Afro-American nationalists search for legacy in Ancient Egypt.
3. Illustrations in chapter Africans and the founding of Christianity: are clear non-sence. You must have really uncoiled imagination to explain Gaul leader Vercingetorix as Roman king and Congoid (althogh portrait on the coin successfully can by compare with Snoop Dogg by some teenager). Same to king Charles ІІ of England. No comment about attempt to connect black paint on some of the art works presenting Madonna with eventual dark skin.
