Classical Greatness

From first-hand observations and study. Volney demonstrates that early Nile Valley Africans provided a basis for the civilization of his time.

Review - "Instead of looking to Greece and Rome as the cradle of civilization, he considers Egypt to be more ancient, thus confronting the prejudice against African races of his era. We can still learn from this book as he was trying to distinguish the characteristics of civilization that make it last for millennia".
