NUBIA: The Rise and Fall of African Empires

Nubia: The Rise and Fall of African Empires introduces readers to the wealthy empires and powerful trading kingdoms that once dominated the African continent. As an international nexus for trade, Africa once attracted merchants and explorers from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The personal journals and publications of these intrepid adventurers captured their first hand impressions of Africa's Emperors, Queens and wealthy trading elite. Modern discoveries allow us to combine their perspectives with the written histories of Africa's literate kingdoms to develop an accurate picture of the role that African Empires played in world history. Prior to the slave trade, Africa was filled with the sumptuous cities of empires that were intimately engaged with world affairs. They clashed with familiar legends in the ancient world like Rome and Persia and proved themselves to be formidable against the world's most powerful armies. In Nubia, we trace the rise and fall of grand African Kingdoms to explain the condition of Africa in the modern world. The narratives collected in Nubia: The Rise and Fall of African Empires will bring African history to life, by shining a light on the epic battles and enigmatic personalities that shaped the history of a land erroneously dubbed "The Dark Continent".
