I did not get that from "Black Athena". My information comes from a couple
of sources. "Africa: Mother of Western Civilzation" by Dr. Jochannon and
"Stolen Legacy" by George James. There are other books which also
address this topic in great substantiated, documented detail. I also
believe that you will find that the Greeks got their form of Government
(Democracy) from the Egyptians as well as their art and architecture, not
from the Persian or Galateans. For example, look at the temples at
Luxor or Ghizeh and the look at the Greek Parthenon or other structures.
The Egyptian structures are a few thousand years older but look at the
similiarity.
