| مستخلص: |
This article critically examines the colonialist and Eurocentric narratives in the history of art and science, focusing on the overlooked influence of Egypt/Africa on European civilisation. The author explores the complex interactions between Egyptian and Greek cultures, emphasising the impact of climate change on the rise and fall of these civilisations. By re-evaluating traditional art historical perspectives through a decolonising lens, the article sheds light on the intertwined relationship between environmental factors and cultural development. Through an intersectional analysis of archaeological evidence, the text reveals lesser-known aspects of Greek culture, highlighting that many Greek scientists and artists learned their ideas in classical Egypt, and in Africa. The author calls for a more inclusive and holistic approach to art history, emphasising the need to integrate Indigenous knowledge systems and address the impact of climate change on human societies.
