Details: Skillfully blending biblical history, archaeology and anthropology, Delany offered evidence to the “serious inquirer” suggesting the first humans were African, and that these Africans were “…builders of the pyramids, sculptors of the sphinxes, and original god-kings…” With such radical assertions, Delany advanced a model of ancient history that contradicted that very foundation of intellectual racism.
