White Athena

"White Athena" is author Walter Slack's systematic effort to deal with each of these claims as he delves into the following topics:
* The alleged "great conspiracy" against ancient Egypt
* The illusion of Egypt's "secret wisdom"
* Egyptian religion and Hermeticism
* Pyramidology, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, and Mormonism
* The relationship between Egypt and Greece
* Greek originality and creativity
* Afrocentrism and Egyptian science
* Isaac Newton and Egyptian wisdom
* Afrocentrist fantasies about ancient Egypt
* The myth of the "stolen legacy"

Many specialists seem to have missed a number of factual and logical inconsistencies seemingly inherent in Afrocentrist writing, which, when summed, go a long way to undermining their ideological case. Slack takes those inconsistencies seriously and uses them to build a case against Afrocentrist propaganda and to seek fair scholarly credit for the achievements of the Greeks.
