DESCRIPTION: In this volume Bernal's central objective is to demonstrate the extent and duration of Egyptian and Phoenician influences on the Aegean during the period in which Greek cultural and national identity was being formed.  In a masterly and fascinating survey, he reviews the archaeological and documentary evidence supported by detailed research into the linguistic, mythological and religious cultures of the period.

"Martin Bernal is a phenomenon."

Times Literary Supplement


"He has clearly forced scholars to re-examine the roots of Western civilization."

Newsweek


"Few contemporary scholars have appreciated the fundamental significance of these controversies more fully than Bernal, and certainly nobody else has intervened in them with anything like his exemplary rigour and clarity...an invaluable resource."
