Africa’s Pre-Colonial History is Disappearing
In Africa
The true size (and age) of Africa does not reflect the number of ancient cultural infrastructure it SHOULD HAVE.
STILL, THERE ARE JUST 61 UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites in Africa. IN COMPARISON, THERE ARE:
- 490 in Europe & North America
- 212 in Asia and the Pacific
- 104 in Latin America & Caribbean
- 87 in Arab
- 35 in India
Africa’s precolonial past is disappearing. Here is:
How we know
The lucky who survived the Black Plague in Europe travelled to Timbuktu in Mail for an education at the world’s first university. But almost all of the attendance records have been destroyed.
We are only passionate about saving pre-colonial UNESCO sites. They are the last-standing evidence of everyday Africans early mastery of science, math, architecture, physics, engineering and construction.
We are truly, madly and deeply devoted to that period in history. Why? Because that period in time in Africa is the only place on Earth that unifies us.
The beginning of modern civilization and the answers to our humanity are all found here.
Don’t be afraid. We are taking you home.
