Cheikh Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga were Right

A BBC News report of January 11, 2010 announced the discovery
of a complex of tombs near Egypt’s great pyramids—Khufu
(Cheops) and Khafre (Chephren). The tombs, made from bricks of
dried mud, date back 4,500 years. Zahi Hawass, the chief
archaeologist heading the Egyptian excavation team stated that
evidence from the site shows that the workers were employed for
three-month stints, and the tombs, which date from the 4th and 5th
Dynasties (2649-2374 BC), were for those who died during
construction. Additional evidence also revealed that the
approximately 10,000 workers who built the pyramids had eaten 21
cattle and 23 sheep sent to them daily from farms in the Delta and
Upper Egypt. Scholars in the excavation team seem to think that
this suggests the farmers who sent the animals were not paying
their taxes to the Egyptian government, but were sharing in one of
Egypt's national projects.

The recent archeological digs, however, confirm what the late
Senegalese physicist and egyptologist Cheikh Anta Diop and
Congolese philosopher, egyptologist and linguist Theophile
Obenga had said all along: the pyramids of Egypt were build by
free men, not slaves.

Any opportunity to relook Cheikh Anta Diop’s legacy?
