Ancient Advanced African Civilizations
Course objectives
- This course is for anyone interested in finding solutions to the growing identity crisis amongst African youth and African peoples in general
- This is also for any interested in how pervasive the crisis is and how it affects the spiritual and religious life of Africans today
- It also addresses issues relating to xenophobia by demonstrating how we are related to each other rather than different
- It tackle and provides evidence against commonly held misconceptions, based on evolution, that African people are less evolved or backward or primitive in Ancient times and today
We’re going to look at a few ancient African civilizations that aren’t just Egyptian but from all over the continent. The idea behind it is to liberate the minds of you the reader around the issue of ‘evolved’ people and ‘unevolved’ people in terms of African cultures as well.
