What they don’t teach in history books
Black history is world history. Blacks are the originators and because of racism history has been white washed ever since.

Review. The book used first hand references and coins of the emperors showing that they were melianated peoples not what is shown today
The book used first hand references and coins of the emperors showing that they were melianated peoples not what is shown today. Should be used in education from elementary to graduate schools

"Motley"
Anu M'Bantu is an acclaimed free-lance ("anthro-photo") journalist accredited for writing many books.I clearly recognize his efforts to help correct the false narratives on ancient "black" cultures and global civilizations.As an aviation professional "global trekker" of sorts, I've been fortunate enough to experience all sort of challenges while visiting 68 countries over the past 28 years, multiple times (including my birthplace in Italy.)I am also a descendant of the true autochthons of the Americas having resided off and on over the past two decades in Anatolia.. today's "Balkan" Türkiye.Türkiye also teems with facts of their irrevocable "black-Arapi" rule.. vehemently mocked and denied.Essentially, others have elaborated along this subject, and beyond, with far more precision.These sort of truisms are really in plain view, easily recognized by the "experienced", "learned" and discerning.Frankly, this is a rushed, poorly researched pamphlet.. A collective of ancient factual truisms with entirely too much cognitive dissonance!On page seven, M'Bantu states, "being Black doesn't necessarily mean being African because indigenous Black people are presently found outside of Africa." That's the most valid and factual statement contained within this 80 page pamphlet! Yet, much of the supporting data he asserts comes across as babbling conjecture.. with a lot of "possibilities..." He simply "falls-backwards" and away from his main theme, especially with the use of boring euphemisms while slipping in lots of silly 'cognitive dissonance." His terminology really "misses the (historical) mark" he attempts to achieve. It opens up this writing for spurious notions or misinterpretations;(1) Africa. Through the dispensation of time, "Africa" had many names. One such name was "Abuk", an Arabic word meaning "Eve" (as with Adam and Eve) and "Goddess." Kemetic history tells us further about "Alkebu-lan" (known as the mother of mankind or garden of Eden.) The Moors, Carthaginians, Nubians and Ethiopians used this word. Yet, while describing ancient places and civilizations, it is rather interesting that Anu M'Bantu uses the presently repressive and tritely "Africa" or "Africa-like" parallels describing "black" features... (2) Europe. Anu M'Bantu's assertions of compared "European" features against "African-like" features are absurd and also CONTRARY. After all, "blacks" are not only indigenous, but autochthons to the land of "Europe", and the entire world (as he started off saying, only to fall backwards!)On the other hand, the name "Europe" is a Latin term.. a mere 'concept' taken from Greek mythology; redefining by way of "Europa", a beautiful daughter of a Phoenician king named "Phoenix." (Phoenix means; from the ashes or destruction arises anew.) It's also crucial to know that the entire pantheon of Greek Gods and Goddesses are "black!" Fact is, Latin is also one of the "black" families of languages, and so is Greek! By 5 C.E, Herodotus already philosophically established the clear intent, spoken borders and mindset envisioned to conquer-divide and rename so-called "Asia" into "non Greek" and "Western Greek" lands for "white" dominance. In that, they truly succeeded. Another inconvenient truism; so-called "Europe" did not exist under its present unified sovereignty until mid-20 C.E, and it is already in decline! I'm baffled and don't understand why he would ignore the details within historical times and events, as if it operated along the same present-day continuum of euphemisms. What a flaw and misdeed. "Europe's" grand unity project is failing rapidly, and its global influence is also fading. The "EU" (European Union) was initially formed in 1957 in an effort to stop it's decline.. Especially after their global colonial rule began to fall. (3) Ancient coins. Rather than make assertions and feed heresies with comparisons of ancient coins no longer circulated.. revealing either "black" or "white" rulers, why not simply focus on "black-faced" coins and currency throughout history? There is such a coin; a Roman "black" king.. THE LAST KING of Arveni during 48 B.C.E, which commemorates the defeat of Vercingetorix. This would be helpful in showing the perpetual state of wars and invasions "black" indigenous people of Rome and the surrounding areas endured before they were killed or driven out in waves of cessation over millennia's.. Frankly, there happens to be a garrison of "black-faced, global, "ancient coins! Even within U.S history, "black" currency existed! After all, "black" coins and currencies are the world's original currencies, lasting through present day (only "bank plastic credit " replaces such currencies.) And, what of the abysmal lack of attentiveness and scholarship toward the "black" autochthons of the Americas?? It is a subject too often avoided.. revealing just how vexed, lost, confused and CONTRARY our circumstances remain. We clearly struggle with cognitive dissonance, unknowingly. The Americas are the second largest strong-hold of remaining ancient "black" global families. Such Tierney! "We've" been trained to think incorrectly, looking solely and squarely, to so-called "Africa" for validation and our mainly (false) slave-boat chronicles.Anu M'Bantu oughtn't fall back using present-day phrases and euphemisms such as; "Africa", "African-like", "Europe", "European features".. or any other forms of miscegenation. Such things are misrepresentations to our ancestral character, as well as dismal research attempts defining former "black" legacies of glorious achievements. Moreover, it supports and plays directly into the hands of "Hegalism", which is clearly alive and well -- even in our own minds.I expected better.

Fast read loaded with pictures. Good starter read for this topic, more research needed.

Errant nonsense
Please don't get pulled in by the intriguing title, this pamphlet is nonsense of a type that inhabits websites such as Amazon because it is easy and cheap to get your ideas into print and self publish the first thing that comes into your head, without a responsible publisher or editor between you and the public. If there was one or the other this sort of unreferenced garbage posing as information produced by a genuine scholar would be returned to the author in a nanosecond.I have loved and studied world history all of my life and whilst there is a tendency amongst some scholars to minimise the actual history of blacks in the predominantly white world of ancient to modern Europe, I am pretty sure that if one of them could use real evidence to prove some of this author's claims they would publish in a heartbeat, knowing that fame and fortune would follow. Especially in this modern ultra communicative world.Sure I have seen medieval images of people of colour placed by the artist in the background and there was a least one black musician in the court of Henry VIII. There is also some evidence to the effect that one of the Roman Empire's dynasties may have black individuals in the family, but it cannot definitively proven. There probably would have been many black legionnaires as some of the legions were raised in northern Africa. There were also many black people in the Muslim world throughout history and I am sure many of them made it to a leadership position. The Muslim world, unlike the discriminatory white one, was ambivalent (as many of the ancients were) as far as the colour of a man's skin was concerned it is therefore unlikely that it would have been mentioned. We also know that there was at least one black dynasty of ancient Egypt as well as black empires that rose and fell within their own race throughout African history. That is surely an achievement of note. In fact I have recently purchased a book on Mansa Musa for my grandson because I want him to learn that his heritage includes individuals of true renown. I have also recommended that he looks closely at images of the dying hero Nelson because one of them includes a clearly African sailor.Certainly there are black individuals who's skin colour has not made it into the history books, sometimes because of discrimination, but often because the opposite was true and their skin colour was of no note. Those who might fall for this nonsense are being misled, my hope is that, if this book has hooked them on history, they may put in the time and effort to discover what the real truth is and someday publish it with a house that specialises in the subject with a good reputation. That I would promote, but this I would not recommend to anybody and I made that determination within reading a few pages of the first chapter. Please don't get hooked by curiosity as I was. If you are the author of this pamphlet please go immerse yourself in real history, prove your ideas with true references and get that into print; darkened images of old coins do not meet any scholastic standards.

Great révélation !
Ce livre est vraiment informatif, surprenant sur la vérité dévoilée à propos des origines de certains rois, empereur mais je m'attendais à plus d'informations générales tout comme le tire le mentionne; "Rois noirs en Europe". Il a eu un sujet sur une reine noire en Angleterre et tous les autres rois mentionnés font références à l'Italie seulement.
