Sumerian and Akkadian people were among the ancestors of the Akan and other blacks

In my first book The Akan, Other Africans and the Sirius Star system, I posit that historical accounts from ancient writers such as Herodotus and from more recent writers such as Robert Morning Sky and Robert Temple point to the fact that the Sumerians called themselves the “black-headed” while the Egyptians have also been known to call themselves the “black-footed”. I then argue that there were in fact large populations of black peoples in Ancient Egypt as well as in Sumer. These included ancestors of the Akan people of Ghana and Ivory Coast in West Africa, who have cultural artifacts, historical accounts as well as language particulars that give us modern people fascinating clues into these two ancient cultures. <a href="https://medium.com/@akwadapa/sumerian-and-akkadian-people-were-among-the-ancestors-of-the-akan-and-other-blacks-47543feb4035">Website</a>
