Ancient West African Megacities

Recent Archeological findings have discovered ancient west African Mega cities dating back to 500 BC possibly rivaling other early urban civilizations such as Mesopotamia. Long before the coming of Islam and the days of the Songhay, Mali and Ghana Empires.

The Archeologists state they have not seen any signs of war & waring, therefore it seems like they lived in relative peace. Some of the cities were twice the size of Timbuktu (Medieval Timbuktu was twice the size of London).

What is most interesting about this information that it emphasizes how little we know of ancient Africa’s past.

Why does this have so few notes.

cause it’s not egypt…. das all folks curr about!
