The contributors to this collecion refute Martin Bernal's contention that ancient Greek culture derived from Egypt and Phoenicia. A thorough treatment... by no fewer than nineteen scholars.... Bernal can certainly not claim that his work has been unnoticed by academia. -- Jasper Griffin, New York Review of BooksThis text disputes the claims made by Bernal in Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization, that ancient Greek culture derived from Egypt and Phoenicia and that European scholars have been biased against the notion of Egyptian and Phoenician influence on Western civilization.
