Book
A panoramic narrative that places ancient Africa on the stage of world history. This book brings together archaeological and linguistic evidence to provide a sweeping global history of ancient Africa, tracing how the continent played an important role in the technological, agricultural, and economic transitions of world civilization. Christopher Ehret takes readers from the close of the last Ice Age some ten thousand years ago to the rise of kingdoms and empires in the first centuries of the common era. A monumental achievement by an eminent scholar, Ancient Africa offers vital new perspectives on our shared past, explaining why we need to reshape our historical frameworks for understanding the ancient world as a whole.
