Is afrocentric a genuine perspective? Sure it's the only perspective an african can have?confused3

One should ask if eurocentricism is a viable perspective for an African mind.

offtopic.gifmost Egyptologists (white or black) concur that the pyramids were not built by slaves. In fact there was an article in National geographic a few years back detailing how they were built by seasonal workers dependant on the behaviour of the nile itself. They would have spent half the year on the great pyramid and half on their farms. Also modern estimates on the amount of manpower you'd need have been drastically reduced with some lateral thinking.
