Review paper

The paper strives to deconstruct the distorted Eurocentric views of pre-colonial Africa through a reading of Armah’s Two Thousand Seasons and KMT: in the House of Life. It permitted to discover that black Africans founded Ancient Egypt and Africa is the cradle of humankind. The findings clearly proved that the first forms of writing, government, social and religious organizations were all the work of pre-colonial African people who either handed down their expertise and knowledge in all the domains to the western world, or through plagiarism done by Ancient Greeks to re-appropriate African invented sciences and way of living. The paper finally revealed that pre-colonial Africa as defined and represented by Eurocentrists is actually the converse of the historical reality because she helped Europe to find the way to development and civilization.

Key words: Barbarism, Civilized, Civilization, Eurocentrists, pre-colonial Africa.
