Sub-Saharan Africa remains a land
of many mysteries. When the Europeans invaded the land they destroyed
many of the historical records, leaving us asking many questions.
The native black people of sub-Saharan Africa have controlled the
entire region for less than a decade. The colonial rulers
that preceded them had no interest in exploring Africa’s glorious
past; in fact they had reason to deny that Africans had a proud
history. Archaeologists are finding new artifacts and changing
what we know about Ancient Africa.
In the years to come, much of what
we know about the history of the once “Dark Continent” may be brought
to light. Maybe someday a “Rosetta Stone” will unlock the
mysteries of sub-Saharan Africa and a Champollion from the future
could tell us as much about Africa south of the Sahara as we know
about Egypt. Someday that person could be you!
