- Ancient African Empires: An Enthralling Guide to the Major Kingdoms and Civilizations of AfricaAncient Carthage: An Enthralling Guide to the Phoenicians and Carthaginian CivilizationAfrican Mythology: Enthralling Myths, Fables, and Legends from Africa
Dive into the captivating world of ancient African civilizations with Ancient African Empires. Perfect for history enthusiasts and curious minds alike, this book uncovers the rich stories and groundbreaking achievements of Africa's greatest ancient kingdoms.
Step back in time to an ancient world of strange gods and human sacrifice. Travel to the richest city of the ancient world: Carthage. Forget what you thought you knew about Carthage. This isn't just about Hannibal crossing the Alps with his elephants. This is about a bustling, teeming commercial and political empire that covered most of the western Mediterranean.
African ideas of how the world began are very different from the story of Genesis. Though the creator god is repeatedly seen as having withdrawn from the world, people often have a very direct and intense relationship with demigods, ancestors, and bush spirits. The entire landscape is permeated by spiritual meanings and inhabited by gods and spirits. While many Africans today formally follow the Christian or Muslim faiths, they often blend these beliefs with traditional lore and rites.
Immerse yourself in the enthralling narratives of Africa's greatest civilizations, legendary leaders, and captivating myths. Unveil the secrets of Ancient African Empires, Carthaginian prowess, and timeless folklore.
