Ancient Africa had a writing system. For a long time, although people did not deny the existence of this civilization, they have always underestimated its value. As an expert on African history, the author uses clues from ancient civilizations and oral history to reconstruct the lost wealth of the African continent in a fascinating way. Eight centuries, nearly a thousand years. The prosperity of ancient Africa arouses endless nostalgia, and the turmoil of modern Africa arouses strong curiosity. Between these two relatively familiar Africas, there continues to be a period of Africa's "dark century" - but is it really so? Perhaps, this is a "golden century".
