OLD AFRICA REDISCOVERED
The story of Africa's forgotten past.

One by one, through these pages, the milestones of a strange & remote history come solidly into view.  This is almost the first non-specialist account ever to be written of the validation of Kush and its city.  Meroe, the "Birmingham of Africa" (as a British archaeologist once called it) and across the continent from West to East and North to South the author explores and reports on what he found.
