The Role of Ancient Ethiopians in Shaping the World, humanitarian and scholar Kim J. Liah embarks on an illuminating exploration of the profound impact individuals of African descent, particularly ancient Ethiopians, have had on the development of early civilizations across the globe. Liah meticulously investigates and presents extensive scholarly research that supports the hypothesis that ancient Ethiopians played a significant role in the cultural and technological advancements in various regions, including the Middle East, Africa, South America, Australia, Europe, and the Far East.

Historical accounts suggest that the great civilizations of Egypt and Babylon were founded by descendants of Ethiopians, such as Mizraim and Nimrod. These pioneering individuals are credited with significant contributions across a multitude of disciplines. Liah delves into their advancements in alphabetical writing, astronomy, history, chronology, architecture, plastic art, sculpture, navigation, agriculture, and the textile industries. Through detailed analysis and a wealth of historical evidence, the book reveals the foundational influence of ancient Ethiopians on these early societies.

Liah’s narrative traces the history of Black peoples, with a particular emphasis on Ethiopians, across a global context. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the significant achievements and legacies of these ancient pioneers, challenging conventional historical narratives and highlighting the critical roles that Black individuals have played in the advancement of human civilization.

Richly illustrated and rigorously researched, African Presence in the Ancient World serves as a vital resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the true origins of global civilizations. Kim J. Liah’s work not only honours the ancient Ethiopians but also contributes to a broader understanding and appreciation of the diverse roots of our shared human heritage.
