Ground-breaking Egyptologist on Cheikh Anta Diop, connecting Senegal to Ancient Egypt, Plato as the student of African-Egyptian ideology, and the link between philosophy and mummification LISTEN/DOWNLOAD Across the world, modern peoples look towards the great civilisations of antiquity of their continent for answers about who they are now, and from what greatness they have arisen. East Asians gaze toward China; indigenous Americans recall the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca; Europeans remember Greece and Rome... and Africans remember Nubia and Egypt.
