Although its size is too big for this mobile
device social media age we're now in, I'm
working on an Africa and periphery timeline
from the last West African Monsoon driven
African Humid Period to 1444 CE.
So many unseen facts become apparent and
brush away fantasy notions about peopling
some well meaners believe in based on either

I think like this. Why are the blacks
called
saharo-Sudanese but the tawnies

as seen in the latest TV docs, instead of
authentic Sudani Nabta Playa etc and
the so-called
saharo-Sudanese phenotypes.
Knowing Nok precedes Carthage and Meroë
challenges accepted eurocentric notions of
W Afr learning iron metallurgy from outside
teachers and supports local indigenous invention.
