Law n.º 10.639/2003 was the result of the efforts of African-American researchers, teachers and educators, aware of the need to include the theme in an inclusive way with Brazilian society. Through citations from the Greek classics, we can compare information on part of Africa and establish a comparative approach between the Hellenic culture and the African’s black culture known by the ancient Greeks. The textual vestiges and the material culture, together with the ancient and current historiography, allow us to bring to the forefront the Old Africa under the afrocentric bias. The theme is current, raises questions and debates as well as allows us to bring the history of African antiquity as a research theme together with the discipline of Ancient History.
