African History

I think it is very important for us to learn about our African history. As John Herrick Clarke states in African people in world history, “History is a clock that people use to tell their political and culture time of day. It is also a compass the people use to find themselves on the map of human geography”.

Why is it that some white people try so hard to keep our history from us? They tell us we come from a country with no history, but that’s not true we come from a great country and a great culture. We are descends of great kings and queens and we need to learn more about them. On the clock of human geography we need to take our place in history and that time is now!

Consequently, Imhotep was introduced to us as an evil mummy in a movie called the MUMMY. Here is one of the first great people in history and he’s not in any of the world history books or, in any local books. If you want to know about him, He was the world first multi- genius and one of the first physicians, also the architect of the great pyramid in Ta-merry the real name of Egypt. Once a great leader in Egypt he’s an evil mummy in the U.S.A. However, he was one of wises man in Egypt thousands of years before Hippocrates. Hippocrates learned from Imhotep, but in the history books it’s the
