The Afrocentric movement emerged as an intellectual and colonial movement among African Americans in response to the suffering caused by slavery. However, this suffering was used as a means to exert control and distort history.

The movement began to center around African identity, seeking to reposition it within human civilization in light of its marginalization by the West during the colonial period. It claimed to be the origin of the Pharaonic civilization, asserting that it was an African civilization, while denying the Egyptian people's origins and their connection to Pharaonic heritage, and demanding unjust rights against the Egyptian state. This study attempts to answer a central question about

the Afrocentrism, and what are its key claims regarding the so-called "Blackness" of the Pharaonic civilization, considering it an imperialist replacement ideology?

The study is divided into two main sections: the first explores the concept of Afrocentrism and the context of its emergence, while the second delves into the ideological claims of the Afrocentric movement, particularly the allegations about the African roots of the Pharaonic civilization.
