BLACK GENESIS by Robert Bauval & Thomas Brophy Bear & Company, Rochester, USA, 20II ISBN 978-1-59143-114-5 (356pp tpb) Available: BearandCompanyBooks.com gyptian civilisation was sparked by black Africans from the mountains of northern Chad and Sudan, conclude Egyptologist Robert Bauval (The Orion Mystery, 2/25; The Egypt Code, 16/02) and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy, PhD. The idea that the original pre-pharaonic Egyptians were black has been pilloried by orthodox scientists for generations, but it's been given credence by genetic evidence and the mid-20th- century findings of Senegalese anthropologist/radiocarbon physicist Cheikh Anta Diop, among others. Influenced, too, by climate science discoveries, Bauval and Brophy believe that these black cattle- herders first entered the Sahara around 12,000 BC during a humid climatic phase. Over thousands of years, these herders left marks of their presence in rock-art galleries and trade routes in the southwestern regions such as Gilf Kebir and Uwainat, and in calendar circles, astronomically aligned stones and ritual sites (including buried sacred cow sculptures) in the dry-lake area of Nabta Playa in the east, though still west of the Nile. When the Egyptian Sahara became drier c. 5000 BCE, these people began moving out and by 3500 BCE had settled in the Nile Valley and mingled with the local "primitive" population.
