The question of existence and nature of African philosophy are problems that have pre-occupied African thinkers, alongside the superiority of the Egyptian mystery school over the Western philosophic traditions. This argument will clarify the question of primacy in the philosophic traditions of the western Greek philosophy and the traditional African philosophy that bedeviled the general discussion of philosophy of the African people in recent times, as the problems of language, documentation and identity seem not to pull the waves anymore. This work is set to answer the question, whether the Egyptian mystery system whatever it was, was a systematic work or a work of pure reason; with the hope that this clarification will affirm to which tradition best enjoys the evidence; systematization or pure reason.
