In this essay I further discuss the 'Black Athena Debate' which has been carried on since the publication of Martin Bernal's first volume of Black Ahena (1987). This debate is mainly concerned with problems formation in 19th century Europe regarding ancient Greek civilization and th influence of Egypt and the Near East. To investigate new possivilities in this debate, I discuss a new study, the African Athena: New Agendas (2011), and examine new points of view developed in this book that show how history has been revised to ignore African (and Semitic) contributions to Greek culture.
