Stolen Legacy: Greek Philosophy Is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy by g g m james.

has anyone read this... it comes up as a reccomendation when i go to amazon. is it worth the read or could you mention similar titles. i am considering getting this one

this is the synopsis.....Challenging the notion that civilisation started in Greece, this uncompromising classic attempts to prove that the true authors of Greek philosophy were not Greeks but Egyptians. The text asserts that the praise and honour blindly given to the Greeks for centuries rightfully belong to the people of Africa, and argues that the theft of this great African legacy led to the erroneous world opinion that the African continent has made no contribution to civilisation. Quoting such celebrated Greek scholars as Herodotus, Hippocrates, Aristotle, Thales, and Pythagoras, who admit to the influence of Egyptian studies in their work, this edition sheds new light on traditional philosophical and historical thought. Originally published in 1954, this book features a new introduction.
