The Lost Kingdoms of Africa by Gus Casely-Hayford
Takes us on a journey through the history of Africa. This title presents the archaeological sites of beauty that rival the Great Wall of China, vast and ancient universities that predate Oxford and Cambridge, kingdoms of extraordinary wealth, great religious sites that surpass the Vatican, and a country with more pyramids than Egypt.
"Fascinating.. Casely-Hayford's fluently written and keenly observed exploration of the continent is an eloquent riposte to those who suggest Africa has no past" The Sunday Times
