In his book, Moustafa Gadalla describes the close connection between Ancient Egypt and the rest of Africa. He contends that as invasions caused disruption, loss of influence and religion for the indigenous populations of Ancient Egypt, many of them migrated to other parts of Africa. Through an analysis of political organisation, religion, linguistics, art, architecture, oral tradition, division of labour, historical records and more he shows that the cultural similarities between Ancient Egypt and the rest of Africa are very close.

The book includes a history of Egypt from the Old Kingdom to the Arab/Muslim invasion. We follow the traditions of many modern African people (including the Akan, Yoruba and Dogon) and highlight cultural similarities to the Ancient Egyptians. Even in modern day Egypt he cites the presence of Sufism and a number of festivals which whilst appearing on the surface to be Islamic are rooted in the Egyptian past.

Whilst Ancient Egyptian migration alone cannot explain the commonality of culture practised across the African Continent, this book is definitely recommended reading for anyone interested in African history.

Once I realised where he was going with in the 1st few pages it was time to return it, I see the racism dripping from his writing, he has it backwards, Kemet is the culmination of all African progress and is not separate from but apart of. racist, racist racist!! stay away, if I could give it a negative 5 star I would.
