Ancient Civilization
Ancient Africans Black Kingdoms
Ancient Civilization did not begin in what we think of as the West. It did not start in Europe, Rome, India, or Asia.
Homo Sapiens migrated from Africa to inhabit all the continents except Antarctica, some 200,000 to 100,000 years
ago.
Nabta Playa: African Archaeology (9560 BC)
Although some believe the high culture of subsequent Egyptian dynasties was borrowed from Mesopotamia and
Syria, University of Colorado at Boulder astronomy Professor J. McKim Malville and others believe the complex and
symbolic Nabta culture may have stimulated the growth of the society that eventually constructed the first pyramids
along the Nile about 4500 years ago.
