From Babylon to Timbuktu: A History of the Ancient Black Races Including the Black Hebrews
This book is well written and well worth reading, or better yet worth studying. I read this book armed with my computer, Bible software,a copy of "the Complete Works of the Biblical Historian Flavius Josephus", Mircrosoft Encarta, and Wikipedia, etc. it will help to have each one of them, because it is so important to always check the author's notes and references in the back of the book as you read. I kept a bookmarker for the note section, too. I concluded that the author was very thorough in his research of the facts he presented in his book, in which I can appreciate. I became so engrossed in his work that I am fully committed to reading it again, and this time adding some of the other authors he referred to in the back of his book. If you like to read about history,this would be a real mind opening book to read or study.

I have read this book and it was okay, I believe the author needed more research on the nationality of Hebrew people and who they are. Black people are the original Hebrew people only they don't know that they are we have been brain washed to believe that we are just African. The book does explain how many Africans came to the land of African, they were from Israel, however they were invaded by Arabs and many of them fled to North African and this is how some of the population began in African. Many Africans there are not really African, they are Hebrew Israelites. The book was infromative, however the author kept interchanging the word Hebrew and Jew in a time the letter J was not even in excistance. The letter J was discovered in the late 1600's and the author is talking about information way before that time so how is he referrering to Jews. Some parts of the book is informative and some repetitive. Please do further study of this subject matter.
Poorly written, a difficult read. Find another book !!! November 20, 2007

Where do I begin?? Simply put, this book is written poorly. Trust me, I am not anti african history. It's just that the book has the feel of a high school term paper. The content of the book is presented in an unconvincing fashion. The author goes into first person to third person, makes references to non-existent sources. Very bad. I agree that there is a rich history to be uncovered for those seeking to learn about the black influence on world history. This book could turn many people off from that search. Don't let it happen to you. Read "The Story of the Moors in Spain" by Stanley Lane-Poole, for example. Read "African Origins of Civilization" by Cheikh Anta Diop. There are many other books that can provide adequate references and make for a better read.
 Pure Fantasy - don't shelve with History August 20, 2007

Yet another decidedly unscholarly attempt to falsify the record of the past and make history a tool of propaganda, beset with fantasy and illusion. Pure garbage formed ex nihilo, like Black Athena, sprung perfectly formed and armored from a Black Zeus. There is real and honest African history out there folks, and it doesn't have to co-opt, borrow or steal from other civilizations to be validated.

The book was informative, but there are some mistakes. At the begginning of the book, it says the Tigres and the Euphrates were the first civilization. Though this is a mistake, it can be thought to exist because of the times the author lived. The first civilization, was that in Kemet(Egypt), wich meant land of the blacks. The conservative estimate for the Tigres and Euphrates is 2,500 B.C. At the same time the conservative date for Kemet is 3200 B.C. With this, there are those who try, with much evidence to say that the Tigres and Euphrates go to 9000 B.C. With a foot hold up, and with the work of Graham Hancock, and Robert Bauval Kemet now, through the pyramid and the sphinx has been linked to 10,500 B.C. There is more evidence that civilization began in the land of Africa, but because of space, it can't all be said here. This truth of a begginning Aro-Civilization is not just because of racial pride or anything else, but just because of climate. Africa had a climate that would enable it to grow first. Also reader know, much, if not all of the theosophy found in the Hebrew religion, is found predated, in Kemet. This ranges from the creation story, the laws, monotheismm(Ahkenaton), Jacob's dreams, and the Christ myth. Not to mention, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Jesus all according to the Torah and the Bible went to Egypt, and also the old testament scriptures were compiled in Egypt. For more on this read 16 Crucified Saviors(Kersey Graves), African presence in Early Asia(Ivan Van Sertima), and Africans Who wrote the Bible(Nana Darkwah). In the end, yes Babylon, and the Tigres and Euphrates were Black Arican Civilization, but were later developed because the present Homo Sapien Humans developed in inner Arfica and migrated to lands across the world. The oldest spieces comparable with ours found was a woman labeled Lucy. She was found in Ethiopia dated 150,000 years old.
