African Ancient Origins: Stories of People & Civilisation by Robin Walker, J.K. Jackson & Prof. Manu Ampim (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)

Africa is a crucible of many civilisations, indeed of humanity itself. African peoples can be traced back 16,000 years or so to five ancestral civilisational groups based on their language families. This accessible and enlightening history tells the stories of African golden ages, of the key dynasties, individuals, cities, trade and achievements, from the first migrations and origin stories to the Kingdom of Kerma in Sudan and the Zulu Empire. We learn of the many cultures that existed for thousands of years before European invasion, of their complex histories that have left lasting legacies on modern African nations.

A beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of African nations and peoples, this striking volume highlights the roots of modern fiction in history, myth and fable. The Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each volume features a new introduction and a glossary of terms or lists of ancient leaders.
