Much has been written about African history and culture and yet one will comb this vast literature nearly in vain for a complete and comprehensive survey of African civilizations by a single author. Conventional history places the beginnings of ancient Egypt at 3100 B.C. In this work, Dr. Charles Finch demonstrates that the civilization of ancient Egypt did not begin a mere 5,000 years ago, but rather was part of a much longer, much more widely-based history of civilization. According to the author's research, the civilization of ancient Egypt is more properly thought of as Nile Valley civilization covering an area from the northern Sudan to modern Egypt's northern border on the Mediterranean, over a period of 10,000 years. Using their own 'conventional' historical timeline is one way many European scholars have been able to give the world a distorted view of Nile Valley history. Correcting these accumulated perceptions and deliberate distortions is one of the main purposes and goals of this work.
