BLACKS’ ORIGINS OF MESOPOTAMIAN CIVILIZATION AND EDUCATION

Abstract

The contribution of black people to the development of world civilization has been a subject of debate during the last

two centuries. While there has been a significant breakthrough in crediting the race its rightful position in the world

history, the whole question of its contribution to the development of education and world civilization has yet to be

delineated and made part of World Civilization history. While there has been a breakthrough in acknowledgement of

the African people credit to the rise and development of the civilization of the Nile Valley that of Mesopotamia has yet

to be reviewed more critically. The black people deserve rightful credit to the rise and development of early education

and civilization of Mesopotamia.
