The purpose of this book is to contrast how Black Africans were perceived as residents in the Near East (today's Middle East and Greater Middle East) in antiquity before the Christian Era (CE) and in the 21st century CE. Their roles and status are highlighted. A perspective is given on changes made and why they have devolved. The effects of these changes are scrutinized. Examined is the black civilizations that dominated the region in ancient times. Their connection to civilizations in Africa and Southern Europe is perused. The migratory patterns Out-of-Africa in pre-history is described. A world before prejudice is the crucible of the inquiry throughout antiquity. Merit rather than race and ethnicity prevailed. Interestingly, Black Africans were the most admired and given god/goddess or demi-god/goddess like status for their prowess, intelligence, skills, and contributions and religion in the ancient world. But, within the last 500 years, they were reduced to subhuman, chattels. History is a full account of the story of humankind through the ages rather the last 500 years where blacks were captives in white supremacy's Babylon and Egypt. This holistic account takes into consideration the last more than 4,000 years. The Eurasian invasion which began about that time did not achieve dominance and hegemony until after many centuries of vandalism, pillage, and purge. The book begins with the birth of the first civilizations in the Near East, Africa, and Europe. It describes the people who built these civilizations and their migration from the interior of Africa. Included is how they achieved agricultural surpluses, built cities, infrastructure, and ships to trade those surpluses for other goods and raw materials to accrue vast wealth. The trading posts they established that transformed into colonies would later evolve into independent city-states and empires, themselves.The enormous food surpluses and wealth accrued by these black civilizations motivated the Eurasians who lived in the Caucasian mountain steppes to leave their cold and barren existence where hunger was common to migrate south and invade the more prosperous people. Their continuous assault into the Near East would not be complete until the Eurasian Ottoman Turks and British of German ancestry occupied the region and the latter used "divide and conquer" tactics to create borders dividing clans and ethnicities. This tactic was done so they and their Western allies who be able to exploit petroleum at the lowest cost for their industries and machines. Their involvement persisted after the Near East gained its colonial independence. Western Eurasians' industrial progress fed by Near Eastern oil would produce a glutton of consumer goods and gas-guzzling vehicles that make the investors the world's wealthiest individuals.Through a westernization Israel and nations like Saudi Arabia and Egypt under kings and dictators addicted to lavish western consumption, Western nations led by the United States, Britain, and France attacked Iraq, Syria, Iran, Yemen, etc. As a result, a western Eurasian, war-like, exploitative hegemony prevails. This group uses profitable arms sales and its vast military to impose the desired "regime change" to mostly buttress dictatorial governments favorable to their demands for cheap oil. In doing so, they have created the greatest humanitarian crisis today in Yemen. The treasure and blood lost, particularly of children, is described. The "forever wars" of Eurasians have prevailed to the detriment of humankind and a majority of their own people while draining resources (funding for infrastructure, effective schooling, living wages, and quality of life).
