Story
The Destruction of Black Civilization is revelatory and revolutionary because it offers a new approach to the research, teaching, and study of African history by shifting the main focus from the history of Arabs and Europeans in Africa to the Africans themselves. The book, thus, offers "a history of blacks that is a history of blacks".

Since the time the European and Arab slave traders stepped foot into Africa, blacks have been told lies about their heritage. This was all by Satan's design, for he is the father of lies. Since biblical times, there has been a satanic agenda to destroy God's chosen people. This agenda still exists today and is carried on by man in many forms. Satan knows who God's chosen people are, but for centuries, we have been ignorant to this knowledge, even though it's been right in front of our face. After many years of research, the time has finally come for all black people to know the truth.

The compelling account of how two heritages united in their struggle to gain freedom and equality in America. The first paths to freedom taken by runaway slaves led to Native American villages. There, black men and women found acceptance and friendship among our country's original inhabitants. Though they seldom appear in textbooks and movies, the children of Native and African American marriages helped shape the early days of the fur trade, added a new dimension to frontier diplomacy, and made a daring contribution to the fight for American liberty.

Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting a hugely debated theory of the Black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early Black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but were also an advanced civilization.

Traditionally, Americans learned in school that the ancestors of the people who inhabited the Western Hemisphere at the time of Columbus' landing had crossed the Bering Strait 12,000 years ago; existed mainly in small nomadic bands; and lived so lightly on the land that the Americas were, for all practical purposes, still a vast wilderness. But as Charles C. Mann now makes clear, archaeologists and anthropologists have spent the last 30 years proving these and many other long-held assumptions wrong.

Publisher's Summary
In this classic work, Professor George G. M. James methodically shows how the Greeks first borrowed and then stole the knowledge from the Priests of the African (Egyptian) Mystery System. He shows how the most popular philosophers including Thales, Anaximander, Plato, and Socrates were all treated as men bringing a foreign teaching to Greece. A teaching so foreign that they were persecuted for what they taught. He further shows a comparison of the teachings of the Mysteries to what they taught and with the former predating them the Professor’s point is made clear, "In truth there is no such thing as a Greek Philosophy."

Great content. Narrator made something that could have been beautiful sound technical and hard to follow. Voice infliction and pronunciations were just plain bad. Find a narrator who can pronounce Latin and African languages and I'd love to revisit this seemingly great piece of literature.

Disappointing / un-objective.
I couldnt make it very long into this book, which was disappointing because i wanted to learn things i possibly didnt know, however (and especially with a book about philosophy) the arguments should be a little more objective. Within the first 10 minutes, the author states that “Aristotle studied under Plato for 20 years, but plato was a scientist (implying not a philosopher) so how could aristotle learn anything about philosophy from plato”...... Gregor Mendel was a friar and abbot, but his studies lead to the foundation of modern genetics... and further more, they didnt have “scientists” back then - even as of Isaac Newton’s day, he was a “natural philosopher” not a “scientist” / “physicist”... Philosophy is the foundation to most of the scientific fields to begin with... there were other flawed statements within the 10 minutes, but this one was the kicker. If you’re going to be that un-objective, clearly i cant trust anything else you present in the book.
A second very noticeable flaw is that within those 10 minutes, the author sets forth the claim that Aristotle “stole” all the works and just put his name to them, because theres too many works attributed to Aristotle for one man to complete in a lifetime.... - Aristotle is attributed with about 200 works, which is nothing, for a life time that doesnt consist of the modern struggle of having to work 40+ hours a week to pay bills... if your job was tutoring and research, anyone could produce this number - and academics do today.... thats not 200 books, thats 200 manuscripts, essays, etc. - Theres lecturers in The Great Courses series that are close to this number of published articles, essays, books, etc. furthermore, literature contextual critics of an author show that people tend to have the same vocab, way of saying things, syntax, in their productions - this is how they find pseudo authorship ( pseudepigrapha) of books in modern times.. .... if Aristotle just took all the works and put his name down on them as his own, it’d be easily identifiable.
I’m sure ideas were stolen and / or shared, but this book starts out very unfortunate and sets the first introduction as way too biased, to be able to listen further. For the statements i did hear, there was no evidence, just statements.

Outstanding, one of my favorites in print
What made the experience of listening to The Stolen Legacy the most enjoyable?
The actual factual history (our story) which supports the hypothesis of the ultimate Jack Move. This is Not intended to be a complement, but a suggest that there's nothing new under the sun should be observed. The accomplishments of the Kemetic (Egyptian) people represents an outstanding civilization that provided gifts to the world , religion, math, science and medicine that exceeds the current civilization in that it was in harmony with nature.

Provocative, well researched.
If you could sum up The Stolen Legacy in three words, what would they be?
Logical, thoughtful and revealing.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stolen Legacy?
I was particularly drawn to the appendix where the author presents a snapshot of all the facts, evidence and inferences that define the source of Greek philosophy. It presents a logical if somewhat impassioned justification for the books basis: Greek Philosophy owes it's roots if not entire substance to the Egyptian Mysteries. It has inspired me to do additional studies on this subject.
Which scene was your favorite?
Unlike a novel this is a scholarly work where each "scene" is a revelation based on examination of historical documentation and then outlining the possible steps (where the historical record is blank) that would lead to the next scene. There is no "favorite scene". There is the satisfaction of understanding the facts and like a good forensic detective, developing the most plausible and realistic scenario based on the information available.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire book was moving in the sense that it called into question facts that I for one had never before considered questioning. Professor James made a comment to the effect, "that it is utterly unique in the human experience for one man, Aristotle to be proficient in virtually all the sciences and to create a body of work, that by any standard is beyond the capabilities of a single individual in a single life time." This fact alone should prompt each us to pursue a scholarly search to either affirm or disprove the conclusions which have been presented in this volume.
Any additional comments?
A thoroughly enjoyable and educational read. I listened to it as an audio book at first then read the text and took notes for further research. It can be tedious to read or listen to at times because of the authors meticulous attention to detail, but I found it well worth the effort and would recommend this to any one with a scientific mind and who is willing to apply the scientific method. It flies in the face of conventional wisdom and while the author has the stated agenda of elevating the stature of the African, which draws immediate rebuke and caustic responses, I believe this work stands on its own, is valid and deserves wider dessimenation and inspection. I for one will do my part on both accords.

We are all victim of the lies, the untruths and the discrepancies perpetuated by racist Europe and America… Not saying that all Europe/America is racist, but suggesting that there has been, historically, a powerful faction that have systematically divided and conquered the masses of melaninated peoples around the world The mental bondage is proving to be much worse than the physical. Stripping one of his history is a sure way to keep him contained in bondage. Information like this... Truth, is needed if we are ever to restore balance in the world.

Very disappointed
The argument was poorly constructed. Mostly speculation with little evidence to support the argument. When actual facts were stated, such as his long rant about the military conquests of the ancient world, they were irrelevant to the actual argument. To top it all off the narrator performed as if it was a race to the finish. I had to stop the recording to digest the material. I wouldn't suggest this to anyone that has no knowledge of the subject.

Don't bother
Would you try another book from George G. M. James and/or Anthony Stewart?
No
What was most disappointing about George G. M. James’s story?
This book is Confusing, Long names, unfamiliar titles, and jumble of dates and theories make the book extremely hard to follow.
Would you be willing to try another one of Anthony Stewart’s performances?
No
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger because I wasted my money. Disappointment that I thought I would hear facts about history but instead received a jumbled complicated rambling of opinions with a few facts scattered throughout.

Brilliant and highlights so much
This is a GREAT book. well researched and positive. This book hasn't been researched and put together to slam the Greeks, but more so putting facts into perspective.
So many scholars know it would have been impossible for the 3 main men to have created what they 'did, and now we have proof.
The sad thing about this book is how the world will take the information.
I believe this should be made national news, but the agenda for segregation is huge, the truth is out there but no one wants to hear it.
It is about changing a mindset and changing the ideas of ignorance.
I will ensure everyone I know, knows about this book.

The success of books such as Elaine Pagels's Gnostic Gospels and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code proves beyond a doubt that there is a tremendous thirst today for finding the hidden truths of Christianity - truths that may have been lost or buried by institutional religion over the last two millennia. In Forbidden Faith, Richard Smoley narrates a popular history of one such truth, the ancient esoteric religion of gnosticism, which flourished between the first and fourth centuries AD, but whose legacy remains even today, having survived secretly throughout the ages.

Story
Pound begins his discourse with an examination of what he deems to be the four major systems of Masonic philosophy. Two of these are intellectual systems: First that of Preston, whose key word is Knowledge; second, that of Krause, whose key word is Morals. Two of these are spiritual systems: First that of Oliver, whose key word is Tradition; and second, that of Pike, whose key word is Symbolism.

Story
Considered to be one of the most important philosophical works of all time, the History of Western Philosophy is a dazzlingly unique exploration of the ideologies of significant philosophers throughout the ages - from Plato and Aristotle through to Spinoza, Kant and the 20th century. Written by a man who changed the history of philosophy himself, this is an account that has never been rivaled since its first publication over 60 years ago.

Story
The story of philosophy is an epic tale, spanning civilizations and continents. It explores some of the most creative minds in history. But not since the long-popular classic by Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy, published in 1945, has there been a comprehensive and entertaining single-volume history of this great, intellectual, world-shaping journey.

Story
The success of books such as Elaine Pagels's Gnostic Gospels and Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code proves beyond a doubt that there is a tremendous thirst today for finding the hidden truths of Christianity - truths that may have been lost or buried by institutional religion over the last two millennia. In Forbidden Faith, Richard Smoley narrates a popular history of one such truth, the ancient esoteric religion of gnosticism, which flourished between the first and fourth centuries AD, but whose legacy remains even today, having survived secretly throughout the ages.

Story
Madame Helena Blavatsky, in two introductory essays, offers students of Theosophical beliefs a wide-reaching and worldly outlook on the Ancient Mysteries. While demonstrating that much like Rosicrucian and Masonic philosophy, Theosophy has, at the heart of its doctrine, the concept of a Universal Brotherhood, she by no means forgets to include numerous Eastern influences, which help set apart the distinctive path of Theosophy, from other arenas of esoteric study...
