A NEW LOOK AT AN ANCIENT SYMBOL
I purchased this book because I believe there is much more to ancient Egyptian artifacts than we've been told. I was looking for something that would substantiate my belief that the ancient ankh that is seen in Egyptian art, was more than just a symbol of life. After looking more closely at their art and comparing it to modern electrical equipment I came to the conclusion that most of their artwork was depicting equipment that was styled to not only be functional but also beautiful. I began to see electrical connectors, transformers, "lights" batteries and other "electrically powered equipment" all over their artwork! I also saw that the ankh was often attached to these power devices so I looked for a book that had a DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE on how this device actually was used.The book The Ankh - African Origin of Electromagnetism is written for someone who is well versed in how electricity works. I did not understand everything because it is a technical book but I did understand the premise. There are not many books that go into detail on the technical aspects of the ankh so I found this book to be very valuable. If you don't buy the theoretical concept about the symbol of life but believe there was much more to ancient man than we've been told, this book is a must read. While I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the technical information, I can indeed say that it will at least stimulate an open-minded person to think outside the box and take another look at ancient man's technology. At least consider that they had access to at least as much technical knowledge as we have today, if not more.While the author does mix some religious ideology in with his technical data, if you can read past that, this book is well worth reading, for anyone looking for answers concerning what ancient man, specifically the Egyptians, knew.

Nearly pure rubbish
Disclaimer: I didn't make it past chapter 2 before requesting a return/refund. I have not read the entire book, though I've skimmed sections.In retrospect, I should have read more carefully the description. I usually focus on the reviews. Although only 16 (to date), they were almost universally and entirely positive, excepting a few hoping for a more "spiritual" focus, or more technical information, or less technical information.The introduction and the author's notes seem to harp on the subject of the European keeping the (presumably black) African-Egyptian man down, stealing credit, obscuring such a high African technology, etc. Look, I get it, and expect that there's been a high Eurocentric vision of Egypt over the last centuries, and before then Islam had obscured Egypt, and before then Christianity, and before then back to Europeans. This guy isn't Robert Bauval taking a stance against academia arguing for a rich Black Genesis of world civilization beginning in Africa.It's just whining, and it pervades everything written. It's distracting and annoying for anyone who wants to get to the premise that the ankh has some interesting and historical technical ramifications. Demonstrate this, and it's easier to buy an advanced Egypt.Beyond that, the book is a lot of technical claims, but without references (endnotes, footnotes, please) or tested observation, or anything that amounts to more than "this is how it is" and one has to take his word on faith. He writes fairly superficially on the history of discoveries made to date, many by Europeans, and sums them all up as conspiracy against Egypt.He's no Chris Dunn, arguing from the demonstrable results of examinations and technology that Egypt was once far more advanced than for what it is given credit. I don't have to take his word for it -- I read his measurements, I understand why he draws those conclusions, he aims to convince me.For this book: I'm sorry, I've researched the wall decorations at the temple of Hathor at Dendera. Yes, it looks like a light bulb with a battery. Maybe it is, but that's a long way from being proven and in many respects, the simplest answer comes from an interpretation according to Egyptian mythology, however funny that battery/transmission coil figure looks. The fact that a supposed seat of ancient Egyptian electricity had a massive cakings of soot from torchlights throughout its course isn't helpful, even if you can make arguments that temple is older than its evident use suggests.And the brief assertion that the Great Pyramid formed a circuit with the electrified mummy in the Sarcophagus... and then we're on to the next section? Well, that mummy (none was found, no evidence of any burial in the GP nor any evidence of burial trappings therein found) wasn't buried like many with one or more layers of coffins, possibly coated in metal. There's not enough room. He can lay down, but the rest of the stuff stays outside.As much as possible the author insists on calling Egypt "Kemit". Yes, we all know this is the ancestral name, even tacked onto border signs. The rest of the world uses it as Egypt. Along with many other phrases meant to get us talking/thinking in an Egypt-centric way, when making a controversial argument that an ankh has hitherto ignored or unknown properties, you can either make the language as easy to understand by as many people as possible (because you want to convince them by evidence), or you can bog them down making them use your vocabulary, which begs the suspicion that the technology is just incidental to the tirade.Bottom line, this isn't written as an academic work. We're meant to accept the author's assertions without question, by which he draws us to his conclusions. The only value here for me is getting a better acquaintance with hieroglyphics which may or may not have technical meanings. But you have to already buy the symbolist approach (a dual "higher" meaning for a known word). But these are assertions left unproven.The most telling line from this book comes from the author's notes, second paragraph: "With the aide of my spiritual guide, Sankhamen, I investigated the Ankh for six years... I can to the realization that the Ankh was the ultimate spiritual icon." I don't know Sankhamen myself (presumably an adviser from the spirit world), so I'm not privy to whatever was said, let alone willing to trust a voice in my head.Simply: The author certainly hasn't laid out any fair case for me to evaluate his premise on evidence alone. He's not really interested in making that kind of case. My guess is, I'm just another tired European who wouldn't be able to "get it" anyway?Well, go figure (From the author's notes): "My traditional education history was a disaster. I had difficulty understanding some concepts," (i.e. I was a poor student) "because my professors were more concerned to label me as incompetent in science" (i.e. it was their fault, and their choice to label me as unable to follow any standard methodology for working out cause-effect-hypothesis for observations) "rather than try to educate me" (i.e. I wasn't able to conform my mind to their kind of rigorous methods, but would like a different teaching so I can call myself educated). The curriculum was designed to promote White supremacy and discourage deeper understanding (because no black world class engineers ever emerge from British-styled institutions in Nigeria or Indians from the same in their country despite the overwhelming popularity of European styled, English only schools).Overall, quite disappointing -- not that this is a standard flawed book. It's not sloppy writing (at the least the editing is fair), it's sloppy thinking. I'll weight the description far more on future books.

Amazing Read ‼️
This is a very informative and eye opening book for African spirituality and science that bridges the two, for natural and holistic practices. A Great read!

Had to read it twice to REALLY understand. Because I had no prerequisite knowledge of electronics. Life took me through an avionics/electronics training and I recalled some of what I read which prompted a reread. First time around I took the information in the book as hypothetical congecture but I have a deeper understanding. Great read.

Answers so many questions...
This is an amazing book. Reading it actually filled a void within me. I became a Reiki Master... Studied and received a certificate in energy healing... Sought spiritual answers from the wrong sources.I purchased this book and then a beautiful Ankh and the results were amazing. If you are a "Melanite" thiscbiik is for you.

Highly recommended!
Wow what can I say?! I've always been fascinated with the Ankh along with its meaning and purpose, as well as the Pyramids of Egypt and whilst I'm not an expert on Electricity, I was able to understand this book and the factual and evidence based origins of Electromagnetism. It's certainly answered a lot of questions for me and put another piece in the puzzle for me and furthered my desire to undertake more research (there is a reference page at the back of the book). It's a slim book and it took me just over a day to read at a slow and steady pace, which includes making notes! Because of this book I would like to further my understanding of modern electricity and how it differs from ancient electricity, as well as African and Egyptian History, DNA and Melanin, as well as Benjamin Franklin, Nikola Telsa and others. The author has made a few references to the Bible and Quran, as well as interpret many of the Egyptian Hieroglyphics. Also Spirituality. Do I recommend this book? Most definitely! It explains a lot and more! It's a book I certainly want to refer to and worth a place on my book shelf. There is a reference page at the back of the book as well as suggested further reading.

Thank you for the knowledge
I have now given it to my 11 year old to read as he loves everything from Ancient Egypt. He is enjoying the books and has taken it to school to read.

A good read, especially for young people of african heritage.
Excellent book blasts straight through the commonly taught lies about the origin of this science. Would recomend to anyone interested in the true origins of modern science in general.
