Egyptians were coloureds!

MYTH: Egyptians were white
This is the longest myth ever in existence, which is pedaled as true scholarship and truth. Yet it is an outright myth, deliberately created from 1830 onwards, to explain away Egyptian civilization. During the 1800’s there was all kinds of pseudo-sciences floating around about the genetical and inherent inferiority of peoples of [...]

Scatterlings of Africa

Approximately 70,000 years ago, a small fragile group of humans in Africa embarked on a fantastic voyage. They left their mother continent and began a migration to every corner of the planet. As far as we know, they had no map, no compass, and no plan – just perhaps, a deep inner conviction that their [...]
