WAS EUCLID AN AFRICAN?

Euclid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Was Euclid an African" is a question about which I have long marveled, notwithstanding popular characterizations of him as being Greek. Looking him up, my conviction that he was African and was not Greek, is strengthened by the fact that little is known about him, despite his living around 350 BC. Other "Greeks" of that era, and earlier, of lesser stature, are well known! It seems that Proclus, who wrote a commentary on Euclid's Elements, and his credited with scribing the best information about him--fragmentary though it is--lived around 450 AD, 800 years after Euclid! The purported original copy of "Euclid's Elements"--the most important book in Western civilization next to the Bible-- is in the Vatican and mentions no author at all! The mathematical principles elucidated by Euclid were applied in Egypt and Nubia thousands of years before there was a Greece, much less a Euclid; well before 300 BC in their pyramids, temples, and megaliths. Other scholars also contend that Euclid did not exist at all, being an avatar in effect. No sculpture of Euclid is authentic, therefore, being imagined. The identity of Euclid is important because many black heroes and personages were painted "white" by supremacists to justify black subjugation and to repress black self-determination. I could name some but won't. Read this article and ask yourself was Euclid African? I say that he was; and that Euclid represents a guild of African savants spanning eons that gave mankind geometry, fractions and mathematics 10,000 years ago, at least as Plato, a Greek, has written in THE LAWS and in TIMAEUS. Yet, many would claim that Euclid was taught by Plato's pupils! Absurd. Euclid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Euclid (/ˈjuːklɪd/; Greek: Εὐκλείδης Eukleidēs; fl. 300 BC), sometimes called Euclid of Alexandria to distinguish him from Euclid of Megara, was a Greek mathematician, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry". He was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). His Elements… EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
