This book is very detailed. Great for anyone studying the history of Egypt and "Race" in the 60s. Filled with conclusive data about the "Black" Egyptians.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of UNESCO's 'Ancient Civilizations of Africa'
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2010
This work is all right, but it could be written by scholars with far more lively prose. Much of the work is only steps away from a dry archaeological analysis (indeed, the appendix to chapter one is very formal and so very unreadable, despite the fact that is discusses a very interesting controversy). My point is this: I'll praise this work because it's the only thorough history of ancient/classical Africa that I could find. However, I'll note that I'm still hoping to see some competition for it appear in print.
