National Geographic Investigates: Ancient Africa

Ancient Africa uncovers the rich, complex cultures of the cradle of humankind, studying the Dogon people of Mali, the ancient city of Jenne-jeno, and the Kushite temples of Jebel Barkal that computer technology has helped scientists reconstruct. National Geographic's investigative approach shows students exactly how archaeologists turn buried artifacts into historical understanding. This is an essential choice for students because it presents African history through rigorous archaeology rather than stereotype, giving young readers an accurate, evidence-based view of the continent's ancient past.
