About this ebook
Not surprising, since the first University in the world was African; Al Karaouine of Morrocco in 859 AD, followed by Al Azhar of Egypt in 969 AD. Much later was the University of Bologna, Europe's first in 1088 AD.
The library of Alexandria, 300 year before Christ is legendary. The Queen of Sheba in all her sophistication and splendour was 1000 years before Christ. The Pyramid of Giza was 2500 years BC.
Throughout the course of history , and as one human race , the world has borrowed from one another ,imitated and improved in a cycle, and hence the development that we see today . Civilization was never, and will never be a franchise. This first volume is just the hors d'öeuvre. Bon appetit!

FOREWORD
Telling our story
as Real African Publishers is not only a renaissance pilgrimage. It is a story of pride in the human race.
Why Kings and Queens? It is because they embodied the soul of Kingdoms and Nations. The glory of monarchs reflected the glory of kingdoms. They were representatives, not only of people but of civilizations. It was within their reign. And it is for our children to be the first to know.
In reading this beautiful work with its breathtaking illustrations I could not help thinking that perhaps adults will benefit far more than the children it was originally intended for.
Ultimately this book is not about a wistful glorification of a lost past but rather the glorification of world knowledge and civilization. It is an exciting trajectory through time. African time.
I agree with
