Summary: enlightening
Review: As an African in South Africa, I was most delighted to trace the history of African civilizations and its origins. Indeed the book will appeal to all races and is most relevant to all races: it attempts to expalin the origin of various races and religions that exist today and their effect on the world today. I have always suspected that the reason(s) for the persistent hardship(s) faced by Blacks all over the world has to do with something we did in the past. Indeed the author does raise this issue and gives excellent responses to it.

Summary: An Awsome Documentary of Ancient African-Hebrew History
Review: Discovering almost non-existance information on the ancient African races was a Delight. Being that I have interviewed African Jews myself I know that Mr. Windsor portrays an accurate account of Hebrewisms scattered to the four corners of the earth. He also references several Bible verse that support his idea. In his book Valley of the Dry Bones one can find more of a biblical account. This book reads more like a documentary. After reading the Biblical account of the conditions that the Hebrews were prophesied to live in one would know that there is no way that the Jews in Israel today could meet the prophecy guidelines of ancient times. Windsor also points out the origin of the white races. He shows that blacks were first prejdice against whites, however a suggestion that perhaps African American Slavery may have been a uiversal pay back was not mentioned. We must remember that what goes around comes around. It was also interesting that the first monotheist race was not the black Hebrew Israelites of the Bible. Buy this book and he talks of the first land and people to practise monotheism. Some other titles teaching Black and African conscienceness are The Isis papers, The Key to the Colors by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing(not to say that I buy everything she says but she definitely has intersting and important issues discussed) and Introduction to African Civilizations by John G. Jackson. A soon to be release with in the next millenia is entitled ULTIMATE DECEIT. This Book awesomely sums up the history of the Black Israelites, and their Black alien god(who despised humans) and tricked all of humanity.

Summary: It's True
Review: For all those who doubt the facts stated in this book. I suggest doing a google search on the Lemba people of Zimbabwe.

Summary: In yo mommas back yard! =)
Review: For the misguided fool, blacks were not just found in west Africa but all over Africa, there were black hebrews, just as there still is, as there are black americans, what the average nay sayer misses is that no matter how a black person is titled do to invasion or conforming under ones own will, BLACK IS BLACK! no matter what religion, belief group or nationality you may find them in, as far as west african we were in the east part before we moved to the west part of Africa. Blacks were forced into a title that was not African oriented through out history but this does not change their physical identity, only sex between two distinctively different persons can do that, and not by much as the dominate make up will still be noticable. So the misguided individual missed the whole point of what this book shows and proves. pun intended.

Summary: Is this still in print?
Review: I find it hard to believe that this book is still in print. Poorly written, poor history, a "feel good" book for people without any background in, or knowledge of, history. Ask yourself why he hasn't used any sources from later than the late 1950's (and most of them from the 19th century). Because advance in archaeology make a mockery of his argument? Yes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: fertil(ized) minds
Review: I have not read this book yet but I must address the shameful
mindstate of some of my people here.We must not reject outright,
studies that seek answers outside the european point of view.I find it puzzling that we can excel all races in song ,dance, sports,artistic expression,contribute as much intellectually to western civilization as any white,yet we are despised throughout the world as less-than desireable.We have been given a legacy of slavery, one month of the year,and a heritage of an uncivilized savage.From whence does this fear and loathing originate?The jews have grasped the financial institutions of america,the japanese the auto and electronics industry,the arabs& koreans, the small business,yet blacks are profaned for taking a few menial jobs via affirmative action.My point is that the euphemistic approach will not gain us acceptance and if we ever hope to regain our cultural unity and improve our position we must first discover what we are capable of apart from the white social structure.Too often in the black mind success is based on what we see whites achieve and not based on our own inherent gifts and if we continue along those lines then our destiny will continue to be defined by them.We must have the courage to think outside of the commonly accepted views unless you can prove to me that the aryans have ever had our best interests in mind.I imagine that if a white man wrote this book it would be accepted by blacks as truth and this is the result of a lack of confidence due to a lack of recognizable ancestral foundation and currency so to speak.So research,think critically,cross-reference,evaluate but be not easily discouraged for there are race haters even among us.

Summary: A horrible piece of pseudo-scholarship
Review: I was initially overjoyed to discover a treatise which purported to be a comprehensive study of the history of the black races with a focus on Hebrews/Judaism in sub-Saharan Africa. As any serious scholar can agree, there is an incredible dearth of information on this subject. Unfortunately, this book DOES NOT fill the void. For instance, the first footnote in reference to the author's claim that the Mesopotamian cradle of civilization (the biblical garden of Eden) was populated by blacks states "this point will be proven later". It only gets worse. He dredges up that old biblical chestnut of the origin of the races according to the migrations of Noah's sons after the Deluge. A better source for the great diaspora of humans from their African cradle could be found in any Cavalli-Sforza volume. Windsor, here, only quotes from the King James Bible with no mention of earlier versions which, are now readily available to the English-speaker in numerous releases of the Dead Sea scrolls. There is little science, scholarship or, critical analysis. The bibliography is paltry. Windsor even misquotes Herodotus and Josephus. I most emphatically DO NOT recommend this book for either the serious scholar or the hobbyist.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth a look
Review: It always slightly amazes me the venom people can muster for ideas that challenge their assumptions. Are they attacking the work or the idea of the work? I find the incoherent babbling of the previous two reviewers, reason enough to check out this work. All reading is a search for knowledge, and because someone does not use an extensive bibliography only asserts that the work is less the regurgitation of an old idea, and is rather an attempt to fashion a new. All knowledge is a work in progress, and all facts transitory, all truths ultimately just hypothesis waiting to be called before the higher truth.

To often those of an Eurocentic bent, raised on the gospel of European history, turn into, like the two below, raving lunatics, when asked to view a new philosophy. The one who states that the idea of White Civilizations flowing out of Black ones is nonsense, does himself what he accuses the author of. Ignores the inherent and substantial genetic, physical, written, carved, and sculpted evidence of the years, that that is exactly what has happened.

But in all fairness to the two reviewers below the particulars are cloudy, the motivations unknown, the ramifications undelved. But rather than attacking because the complete picture is not there, and childishly screaming "do not read this" a stance that flies in the face of all truth, and all knowledge, and indeed hints at a deep seated prejudice, we need more such works and more such research rather than less. More people and more books to shine light on those areas, that the screamers below would keep in Darkness.

Summary: Truth may hurt but it will set you free of set lmao!
Review: It has been brought to my attention that African ppl of today or more brainwashed than the African americans. Indeed I have came across a few here and their from different countries of Africa, they dont know the true history behind european colonizing, they were given the little white lie version, (see awotunde's comment, wether he is, or isn't from Africa makes no difference, she or he is still lost). In view of this book, I will say for the record, before the so-called races were (made), the Black ppl were all over the land mass of earth before the shifting of the poles. See the proof of the African Twa's(Black(negro)Africans) who are found everywhere the Euro-Asians(GRAFTED ALBINO'S) invaded, including the America's, inwhich white scientist admit that all ppl of planet Earth come from these civilize Black negro African ppl, inwhich in the earliest of findings there are no boats found for such a travel to be made, if, by todays World. Indeed, as Mr.Windsor points out the Ancient Africans did dis-like the Euro-Asians, for the simple fact that they were made unnaturally through grafting Black recessive Albino's with each other, when two Albino's mate they will make another recessive Albino along with normal blacks, how many come out recessive in each mating is not as important as the reason for the ordeal, inwhich the normal Black children were killed or made servants to the Albino's. This took place in the europe area with a group of African cultist from one of Nubia's Egyptian communities, this group claimed that they were doing the will of Ra, and that it was time for the new types of ppl to come into being. This unnatural process was seen as evil to the Africans that knew of this, as they saw this as the work of (sET) which Africans of that day knew that it was a bad omen, and sought to destroy this plan before it would create separation and war between the (hue)mans, but the orders were given not to intervene by the African rulers of the time who knew of this. That being the Egyptian Pharoah(Nubian king), and other Chieftans of that time who knew of each other. The Nation of Islam states that this cultist had a leader who was born in one of Egypts communities, he became intersted in the human physiology, and was a very accomplished scientist by the name of Yakub. There are other accounts by different ppl such as Rashidi who speaks of negro(Black African) Albino's being grafted, as well as the artifacts and written accounts of those of that time who kept accounts of these things, which, are now in the possession of the honest. Going back to the ignorance of awotunde who states that Black Africans are exclusivley from or found in West Africa is a belly of laughs, when, most are still indigenous to the upper South Eastern area of Africa(Uganda, Swahili areas, South Africa, Sudanic areas(Nubians), and Somolia area) inwhich certain large groups migrated to North, Central, and West Africa for different reasons, but all were still the same culture despite new ethnic ideas. So, moving back to the subject of the Hebrews, again, these ppl were a Black African group(from a Sudanic group) who went to that particular area, way before the invention of the euro-asain-indo-arayan ppl were made. I guess what I am writing is more of my point in short, in support to Mr.Windsor's work, Timbuktu became a learning center for islamic followers who brought their influence to this empire inwhich these ppl who integrated with the natives were Black Moors as this can be seen throughout countless accounts of Timbuktu's inhabitants by Caucasion(white) and Negro(Black) scholars. Indeed all Black African negros are the same regardless of ethnic background, for we are the only ones who are not a race, as we were created naturally, now, if anyone disagrees, then prove how winter created humans and whatever else, and please no more of the vitamin D nonsense which has nothing to do with the primary development of black skin or melanin in general, whats next? a rock is melaninatd becos someone pulled milk on it! Lmao! Indeed, all babies do not come out high yellow, inwhich vitamin D from mommies nipples makes them black Lmao! see the natural chemicals of the originals bodies, which process melanin and melancytes a secretion found throughout the human body. To see a dark baby born, see the Dogons, and others of the true black African color inwhich on average most Africans or brown to dark brown to black. On closing, lol, white reflects sun-rays therefore cannot absorb any electrolytes nor is it a good source of nutrient energy conversion where as black absorbs naturally as it absorbs sun- rays, hince the title of black ppl as being the children of the sun, not of a winter solice, inwhich things die, not grow. The best Albino's can accomplish is, have a black spray painted scorched skin, see certain Arabs or India ppl, and even with the caucasions who claim to love their skin, when they get a tan the best they can accomplish is orange cancerous skin, let me add that Albinoism is not the only resulted cause of how all europeans look, indeed, after the making of these ppl the climate gave, along with chemicals found in those areas a finishing touch to the euro-asian(climate and chemical alteration or mutation) skin texture. The large groups found of different human ethnics groups is do to what was taught about creating a big family lineage and taking over other families by having a bigger and stronger clan to conquer others via the teaching of patriarchy (male dominance) this is what gives asians their dinstinction from other Albino groups like the Indians or the caucasions and so on, this concept was not geared the same amongst the African ppl starting out, but, became a factor later, see the difference between the Asanti's and the Mossai's or the Sans and other Twa's. Scream! Im a racist becos I give it to you straight with no chaser, we are all humans despite how we came about. Peace! beautiful ppl, this is GOD's legacy not yours, humans are but a micro-stain in this vast UNIVERSE called the conscious cosmos. Pun intended!

Summary: Read Deut. Chapter 28
Review: Mr. Windsor has done his research well. If anyone has any doubt, I refer him to the biblical text Deut. Chapter 28. The only group that fulfills the prophesy in this text is people of the African diaspora. There is simply no dispute. I challenge every black American to read this book and judge for themselves. I guarantee that as you read the text, a 'light bulb' will go off...
