Anthony T. Browder  is  an author, publisher, cultural historian, artist, and an educational consultant. He is a graduate of Howard University’s College of Fine Arts and has lectured extensively throughout the United States, Africa, Caribbean, Mexico, Japan and Europe, on issues related to African and African American History and Culture.

      Mr. Browder is the founder and director of IKG Cultural Resources and has devoted 33 years researching ancient Egyptian history, science, philosophy and culture.

His archeological work in Egypt has been acknowledged by former President Mohamed Morsi, the Minister of Tourism and various Ministers of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

    Mr. Browder’s three decades of study have lead him to the conclusion that ancient Africans were the architects of civilization and developed the rudiments of what has become the scientific, religious, and philosophical backbone of mankind. It is from this framework that IKG has concentrated its research and disseminated its findings.

 All of Mr. Browder’s publications, DVD’s and documentaries are currently being used in classrooms around the world.
