Two recent posts on X have boggled my mind. The first is a thread from History Hive, describing a book, "Brilliant Black British History", that claims most of British history was really centered around black people. Whites were apparently an afterthought.
Here are some samples from the thread.
Black people have inhabited Britain for longer than whites.
Naturally, therefore, they built Stonehenge.
. . .
Cheddar Man, an Ancient Briton whose skeleton was discovered in a cave, was recently reconstructed.
His skin was described as 'as dark as dark can be,' as confirmed [not!] by scientists.
. . .
Populating Britain were 'Black Romans'.
York, for example, was apparently 11% black.
One such 'Black Roman' was Septimius Severus.
Of Italic & Arabic ancestry, Septimius developed quite the tan in sunny Scotland!
. . .
It is claimed, citing 'stories', that a black Roman introduced Christianity to Britain...
. . .Traversing the West African coast, the primative Englanders basked at the rich and powerful empires that covered 'every inch of Africa', with:
- Cities grander than London
- Running water and toilets
There's much more at the link - all of it as fake as the above. Believe it or not, this dreck won a British Children's Non-Fiction Book Of The Year award! Political correctness gone mad . . .
The second post is from Dr. Eli David, who reports - with as straight a face as possible - a Palestinian claim that Big Ben and its clock tower in London, England, was actually stolen from Jerusalem by colonial officials in the 19th century, and taken to London. This, despite the history of Big Ben and its tower being exhaustively documented in Britain, with no possibility whatsoever of deception! You really should click over there and watch the one-minute video of their claims. It's blood-curdlingly obtuse, and it's all lies.
The truly ridiculous thing is, such claims are often "sanctified" by unthinking, knee-jerk approval from the progressive Left, despite their being nothing but a tissue of lies. Go look at the editorial reviews of that book on its Amazon page. Mind-boggling! Fortunately, many readers are not taken in, as their reviews (further down that page) demonstrate.
What other examples of such moonbattery can you suggest, readers? Do you have links to their source? If so, please let us know in Comments. We could use a good laugh to start off the new year!

More fabulist than the holders of the Atlantis myth.
I choose not to engage w/ the mentally ill. It feeds their delusions.
Hey Peter,
The same thing is going on with Feudal Japan, The "activist" are saying that the "African Based race" settled Feudal Japan and brought the culture that started the shogunate and the "Bushito Code". After I finished laughing I realized that there are people that actually believe this feldercarb.
Some serious reconstructions of neolithic people are dark skinned and blue eyed based on DNA evidence.
There is an idea that dark age Ireland had contact with North Africa via sea trade, citing similarities in Christian iconography as one piece of evidence. I saw this long ago and it was not rubbish, it might not be right but it was at least plausible.
Somewhere long ago I picked up a book called ‘The Black Celts’ suggesting much stronger ties between Ireland and Africa. I see there is a new book with the same title, I don’t know if it is the same work or not. The woo-woo was certainly strong in the old one I have though I have seen some people who make me wonder if there might be something in it.
Oh, great.
Another book that's as historically accurate as Roots was.
This is the history version of Stolen Valor.
The African version of British Israel myth.
Atlantis has a reasonably plausible basis for existence as many of the key Atlantis points match the Phoenician culture.
This dreck is just an affront to everything.
Wow. The Flat Earth and Moon Landing Hoax crowds have more credibility than these people. 8-o
The earliest humans in Europe (including Britain and Ireland) had dark skins, this may include the Cheddar Gorge man and definitely includes the people who built Stonehenge. The gene mutation to reduce melanin in the skin for those in Northern climes only developed later. Those original dark skinned hunter gatherers were all replaced by lighter skinned farmers and herders though. However those dark skinned HGs were no more closely related to Africans than to Chinese
I agree with Francis Turner.
I read the article and saw the reconstruction using DNA results.
Except for his pigment, he was as Caucasian (with blue eyes) as any Anglo in England.
I wouldn't be surprised if the climate was much different and the sun was ...harsher.
An example of one of the left's favorite tools.... rewriting history to suit their agenda. Facts and reality are irrelevant.
