Thank you very much! A short, understandable, practical story about an amazing phenomenon in the ancient history of Black Africa! Mystery! Necessary to search and search ❤🙏
@FredricF Thanks for your comment!
No, this is a different group of people. They lived, as far as we know, in simple wooden houses with a stone-lined base around the walls.
I can imagine Egyptologists become very vehement in their contestations! :D
Thanks for watching!
Technology does not move in a linear fashion. Well done. Now in parts of SE Asia, people are forgoing a land line to get smart phones.
Very informative, thank you!
Is this the culture they think built large walled cities in central Africa?
I have even seen someone suggesting that the Sphinx in Egypt might have been created by this civilization, a suggestion that is naturally vehemently contested by the Egypt archaeologists.
@Archaeos0up
There is evidence that the people of the nok culture built some stone walled settlements. See "new studies of the nok culture of central Nigeria" (by archaeologists Nicole Rupp, James Ameje & Peter Breunig) which describes (with photos) the foundations of walls made with large stone slabs around a nok settlement (on a hill like most nok settlements) at the nok site of Kochio.
@VogonJ Have you read Great Zimbabwe by Peter S. Garlake? It's quite old but really fascinating :)
@VogonJ Norwegian? Cool :) Hälsningar tillbaka till dig.
