The Africans Knew

For many years, scientists have been digging into the earth in different parts of Africa. They were looking for things which could tell them how the Africans lived thousands of years ago. They found masks, pottery, smelting furnaces, sculpture, tools, musical instruments, and dams and irrigation ditches. These things tell us that the ancient Africans knew how to do somethings long before other people did. This book tells you about some of these wonderful things that the Africans knew and did so long, long ago. It also tells you how to perform experiments so that you can understand how to ancient Africans used what they knew to help them in their everyday living. You will discover that we use many of the same ideas today. This book is part of a series of book about how peoples of the world lived long ago.
