The Peopling of Ancient Egypt & the Deciphering of the Meroitic Script summarizes a 1974 UNESCO symposium, concluding ancient Egyptians were not white but an indigenous African people from the Nile Valley, potentially influenced by Equatorial African groups, and that Pharaonic language wasn't Semitic; the book also covers the decipherment of Meroitic, an African script from Sudan (Kush), highlighting its alphasyllabic nature (23 signs), phonetic structure, and its decipherment by F. Ll. Griffith (1907-1911), revealing an important African writing system distinct from Egyptian influence.
