Very interesting.

I want to learn more about black history. The history that is covered up and overlooked. I strongly recommend reading

Great read

Very insightful work. I would recommend this book to anyone who is beginning their journey of knowing thyself. I loved the breakdown of religion and spirituality regarding our Nubian ancestors.

Great read

I learned a lot of history from reading this. I also learned hotep is more than just a greeting. I would definitely recommend this book.

I studied Ancient Art and History, and comparative mythology so I thought this book could be useful. This is the worst book I've read in decades. It is illogical and senseless, because it attempts to make connections where none exist. He used ancient linguistics and modern word choice as if they belong together. For example, he says of the spring equinox that the sun 'crosses' over the horizon and so this is the crucifixion. The only thing I learned is that the pen can be used dangerously and this book represents the type of distorted thinking that is supposed to be prevented by a college education. He is appalled that Egypt's neighbors borrowed from Egyptian mythology and feels the west has stolen its ideas of religion and philosophy from Egypt. He needs to read more broadly to learn that cultures constantly borrow from each other. What is telling is that he doesn't acknowledge the hand that blacks had in the slave trade.

Awesome

I enjoyed the parallels between Heru and Jesus. Also the vocabulary of the book was just right for me. It was written for your average reader and not a triple doctorate English major.
