Africa and the Egyptian Old Kingdom

The Old Kingdom is a time in ancient Egyptian history where the existence of people of Black African descendant have been over looked and at times erased. Egypt present day is often referenced as located in the Middle East. However, Egypt is located within Africa and is the place where one of the greatest structures in the world was build, the Great Pyramids of Giza. The builders of these pyramids were of Black African ancestry and they left evidence of this all throughout the civilization of the Old Kingdom.
