Amazing, eye-opening interview with the erudite African American author and Professor of History, the great Molefi Kete Asante.

wasnt it the Greeks etc that claimed they invented mathematics, architecture or even medicine, while the Egyptians were expert in such field more than 1000years before the Greeks supposedly invented/discovered it, lol!

The Greeks did not claim they invented anything!

They admitted they learnt everything from Egypt!!

It was Europeans of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, who, in the midst of the slave trade, and later colonialism, who portrayed the ancient Greeks as the originators of everything.

They did this because they couldn't reconcile the fact that Africans civilised the world with their European practices of enslavement and colonial invasion of Africa.

So they simply whitewashed the history of the world, first by falsely claiming the ancient Egyptians were white, and then crediting the white ancient Greeks with civilisation.

Theirs is a legacy of historical theft because they have no real history of their own, being newcomers to civilisation.

so Hippocrates is not considered the "father of medicine" ? or better yet, Archimedes the "father of mathematics" ? while Egyptians were expert in these field for 1000s of years before these dudes were even born?

It wasn’t the Ancient Greeks that were calling Hippocrates the ‘father of medicine’ etc. These were titles given by much later, modern Europeans of the 18th and 19th centuries.
