Every people possesses its own Classical Humanities which contribute to forging its Paradigm (cultural identity, civilizational values and intellectual framework). The study of these encompasses the methodological examination of its ancestral scientific, technical, literary, philosophical and artistic productions, without neglecting the field of Social Sciences (customs and traditions, spirituality, cultures and traditions).

The term Classical African Humanities was first used by Professor Cheikh Anta Diop to refer to our Egyptian-Nubian historical heritage. He developed the pertinent idea that the ancient civilizations of the Nile Valley (Egypt, Nubia) should serve as the educational foundation for the future teaching of young Pan-African generations.

If the legacies of Greco-Roman civilization serve as a framework for school education and a foundation of cultural unity for young people in Europe, then the achievements of our African ancestors from the Pharaonic period must also contribute to the appreciation of African genius, past, present, and future. This is the purpose of this educational work, designed to introduce young people to Classical African Humanities.

The book includes 10 lessons + exercises relating to the following modules: Historiography of religions - Science & Technology - Kemetic civilization - Kemetic philosophy.
