For the past thirty years I have been enamored with and researched the history of ancient Egypt. I traveled to five continents in search of artifacts, historical landmarks, museums, and periodicals about the intellectually advanced civilization of Africans in Egypt. Studying with the late Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan, inspired me to seek out the true history and contributions of Black and Brown people of ancient Egypt. Throughout my travels in Europe, Israel, South and Central America, and Asia, I realized the complete and accurate narrative of ancient Egyptians was often excluded from documentaries and history books. Studying Egypt and visiting many of its historical sites including the Great Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, and Luxor Temple led to the development of this book, African Legacy Uplifted: Ancient Egypt, Volume One. In this book, there are over 140 color photos of ancient Egyptian landmarks, artifacts and seldom seen images.
