Free E-book: Classical Architecture's African Roots To Be Released Thursday, March 23, 2023

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, March 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- When David Supple first encountered a photograph of Queen Hatshepsut's Temple its Classical architectural features stood out in stark contrast to what he had been taught in Architecture School – specifically Classical architecture’s origins in Ancient Greece. Classical architecture’s impact is immense influencing every era after it and the world over. Yet here these “Classical” elements were, crafted in Egypt nearly 1,000 years earlier than anything comparable in Greece...

A ready explanation was not forthcoming and the more he began to dig, the more David began to discover that a number of key fundamentals he had been taught concerning Classical Architecture were contradicted by the visual archaeological evidence available. The result of David’s original research to solve this puzzle is this E-Book, “CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE’S AFRICAN ROOTS.”

The Book is going to be free because the truth it contains belongs to everybody. Please share with everyone you know.

Advance Praise for CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE’S AFRICAN ROOTS:

"As an advocate for accurate documentation and elevating the contributions of diverse designers, I found myself excited by this book and its research! Using detailed explanations and clear visual evidence, David Supple showcases the many contributions the early architects of Africa had to our built world. This insightful book should be required reading for all first-year architecture students!"

“David Supple’s superb picture book is the architecture world’s equivalent to Nicole Hannah-Jones’ “1619”. David brings visual receipts with his beautiful graphic documentation that validates the work of scholars Cheikh Anti Diop, as well as Martin Bernal’s monumental multi-volume “Black Athena” series. Dissenters will have nothing to fire back on as for the first time ever the world can SEE clearly that Greek architecture rested on the back of several preceding millenniums of (Black) Egyptian civilization."

"David Supple’s logic travels from the first origins of design, scale and proportion that was perfected over thousands of years in Africa. He correctly points out that the Greek and Roman classic understanding and constructing the massive Mediterranean civilizations were sourced in the study of Egyptian designs and methodology. His excellent work should be required reading by all students considering a career in design."
