You’ve probably heard about Egypt and the amazing pyramids they built, but did you know that there is a lot more to ancient African history than just the Egyptians? They were only a small part of Africa’s amazing history.

Ancient Africa had powerful armies that fought with each other and with civilizations that weren’t even from Africa. They were also rich in things like gold, ivory, and salt, and the ancient Africans knew how to build a healthy trade network that could even cross the vast Sahara Desert. Their civilizations were wealthy and filled with beautiful art, some of which we can still see today.

For years, the history of ancient Africa has been overshadowed by other ancient civilizations. Although Rome, Greece, and Byzantium were essential to ancient history, ancient Africa was also a powerhouse that some historians have overlooked.
