Dr. George Granville Monah James, the author of Stolen Legacy, a widely-circulated book which challenged the true origins of Greek philosophy, died under mysterious circumstances shortly after the book's publication in 1954. Stolen Legacy's descriptive subtitle: "The Greeks Were Not the Authors of Greek Philosophy, But the People of North Africa, Commonly Called the Egyptians" reveals the focus of Dr. George James' research.
An educated scholar, Dr. George James was born in Guyana, South America and later studied in Britain and the United States. Qualified to teach Greek, Mathematics and Latin, the professor taught at various colleges in the United States.
Excerpt from Stolen Legacy, by George G.M. James:
"The term Greek philosophy, to begin with is a misnomer, for there is no such philosophy in existence. The ancient Egyptians had developed a very complex religious system, called the Mysteries, which was also the first system of salvation."

I am a student of egyptology. I have just recently read Dr. James book. It is spot on. And in the time in which it was written, there was concerted pseudo scholarly propaganda not to acknowledge black people as equal to white people. Hence the tone in which it was written but notwithstanding it's a good book!
Our redemption as a human race depends on our going back to Egypt and find out more about ourselves.
Dr James thesis is correct; we all owe our heritage from Egypt. There is nothing under the sun, humanly speaking, that cannot be traced back to Egypt. It is one of the most absurd omissions that when you read the Pentateuch, a supposedly contemporary of Egypt, you hardly hear any mention of a pyramid (yet we are told by scholars that Hebrew slaves built the pyramids). I dont underestimate the spiritual value of the bible. It is a product of human effort owing its origin on previous work done by others. When a messenger spends a lot of time defending his status than his message then you know something is very very wrong here!
Everything can almost be traced back to Egypt. Mysticism, Free Masonry, Kabbala, circumcision, gammatria, state pomp and ceremony, liturgy, mythological symbolism, sacred icons, prayer, wisdom, funeral rites, eschatology, ... almost in anything you will find the ancient Egyptians have beaten us to it.
The only way you could do to descredit Dr James' work is to trivialise it and attack him personally. His book is well researched, annotated and referenced and he quotes most of the time work done by other white scholars.
The problem with human knowledge is when you use it for other motives, especially racial oppression and economic oppression it tends to rely on lies, denigrations and mental slavery and prevention of others to know the truth or against white people generally, then it loses its value.
The present truth crisis, is like a 21st century motor car manufacturer claiming that they are solely responsible for the invention of a modern car because it is made up of electronic wizardry and gimos. The modern car owes its existence to James Watt's lowly steam engine.
Authorirty can never be the truth, it is the truth that confers legitimacy to authority! (Gerald Massey paraphrased)
It is most disconcerting to read Psalm 1 and also read that the same psalm is etched on the walls of a pyramid tomb by one lowly scribe called Amenemope almost a millenia before the existence of King David.
Or to read about the kabbalist sephirot and read about the Ptah and Atom and the dualistic unity of the 8 other gods they create by utterances who are the 10 emanations of the Boundless and Limitless Unknown!
We are dealing here not about facts and truth but with childish petulence and stupid one-up-manship which becomes very sinister when you think it is finally calculated to achieve mental serfdom and spiritual subjugation of others.
If you think of it, if G-d appears to me with an important message for Obama, why is it that I am now more important than my message or Obama for whom the message is meant? Most spiritual revelations claim to be meant for us, but the messengers are more important than their message. They demand all sorts of respect and veneration and undue acknowledgement.
And in the end, you are very stupid if you dont realise that you are dealing here with vain egos and utter stupidity!
I am grateful to Greeks for having preserved their philosophy wherever they might have got it and by whatever means. If it was meant for us, what's important is not them but what it can do to advance mankind. Equally if Greeks dwell so much on it, it will damage them as a people.
The glory of the internet is not that it is the exclusive preserve of the US Military who originated it, but that all of us globally use it. If G-d appears to me in Timbuctoo why must I hold the other guy to ransom for not being there for the appointment?
Without Greeks the splendour and glory of ancient Egypt might have been very difficult for us to find and know.
I am no longer shackled to the purveyors of truth who claim sole ownership of human heritage, stay away from ancient Egypt at your own risk and peril and miss out on the most stupendous and amazing human culture that ever graced this earth! Greeks invented philosphy but its even more exciting and rewarding to discover their philosophy existed in Egypt by millenia in the past!
