For the past 500 years, the identities of powerful ancient black nations have remained hidden among the pages of the Bible's Old Testament.
These nations led the ancient world towards civilization, invented writing, erected phenomenal monuments, conducted extensive commercial trade and built dams, reservoirs and canal systems to manage large rivers. Yet, each of these empires' identities was reinterpreted by the modern world for social conveniences. These nations continue to suffer from an identity theft crisis in misleading representations of their people in pictures, movies, paintings, social media and books.
"Children of Genesis" takes a wide-angle view of the people, places and events from the Old Testament era by using historical lenses instead of traditional religious filters. This book intends to showcase the ancient black nations for the world to see, study, appreciate and better understand.
