Ancient African Nile Valley theorists connected the idea that all people are born with divine nature to the goal of mastering the liberal arts. According to the Nile Valley cosmology and religion, the gods made humans. This contrasts the Western viewpoint, which maintains that people are solely the product of evolution. The Nile Valley’s cosmology and theology strongly focus on social principles like cooperation, community, and peace (Abdelkader). These ideas differ from Western culture’s individualism, rivalry, and hierarchy.
The conventional African idea of human origins holds that humans are divine beings that the gods made. This viewpoint contradicts the widely held notion in Western culture that people are simply the product of evolution. The historic Nile Valley’s literary heritage, creative arts, and architectural style reflect the traditional perspective (Abdelkader). Ancient literature, art, and architecture depict how the gods created humanity. This understanding of human origins is reflected in the cosmology and religion of the Nile Valley in terms of its societal values.
