Gross omissions from the historical archives pertaining to significant contributions of ancient African civilizations to the sciences, Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, etc., especially that pertaining to the Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, are scientifically examined. Focus is made on solid archeological evidence, most recent findings, astrophysical alignments, precision stone cutting techniques of technological methods unknown to modern technical means. Biblical references are cited. Myths, fabrications, Hollywood depictions, stone-dragging portrayal of pyramid construction techniques and other unsupported beliefs pertaining to The Great Pyramids are examined for their inconsistencies using the scientific method, modern archeological evidence and biblical references.
