The Senegalese historian Cheikh Anta Diop (1923–1986) is one of the most brilliant scientists and exciting "lateral thinkers" in Africa. In his works, he vehemently supports the thesis that Egyptian culture was a black African culture. With his writings, which are here presented for the first time in excerpts in German translation, Cheikh Anta Diop initiates a radical revision of African and German history.
