The Lost Kingdoms of Africa
In “The Lost Kingdoms of Africa”, cultural historian Gus Casely-Hayford takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of this remarkable continent. As we encounter archaeological sites of staggering beauty, vast and ancient universities that pre-date Oxford and Cambridge, kingdoms of extraordinary wealth, andartistic traditions that still inspire artists today, we see how new research has opened up the study of African history in ways previously unimaginable. Long-lost kingdoms are being brought back to life and civilizations that had faded into myth are revealing their secrets. Using this recent research, Casely-Hayford not only reveals the story of Africa`s major kingdoms in an entirely new and informed way, but provides a richer understanding of this often overlooked history.
