Continuation of Chapter 9 of the African-Egyptian Presences
Grand Day Family!
Today we continue with the second part of the reading from the book “They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America”, by Ivan Van Sertima, Chapter 9: African-Egyptian Presences in Ancient America.

Please enjoy and share this reading!
Peace and Blessings!
