Description
In this essay I discuss the academic debate called the Black Athena Debate. This debate was initiated by the publication of Martin Bernal's Black Athena in 1987. This book rejects the orthodox model that Aryans founded ancient Greek civilization and proposes a new model. Bernal argues that the orthodox model had been formulated through the many prejudices of modern Europe. I examine the debate in detail and conclude that Bernal's model has as many flaws and problems as his rival's model making both models untenable. However, Bernal's contention that the images of ancient civilization have been biased by many prejudices of modern Europe is basically correct.
