Africa, a distant and mysterious continent... For a long time, its lands have attracted sailors, merchants, scientists, adventurers, and conquerors from the countries of Europe and Asia. From the legendary journeys of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians to the “African safaris” of Ataman Krasnov - this is the history of the knowledge of the Dark Continent. The mysteries of the ancient civilizations of Zimbabwe and Ghana, Mali and Songhai, the sacred Ife (the heir of the Atlanteans?) and the brilliant Kush excite the imagination and inspire new researchers. Our compatriots have always sympathized with the unique power that adopted Christianity, the second in the world after the Roman Empire - Abyssinia or Ethiopia... All this, as well as the dramatic history of the colonization of Southern Africa, and the campaigns of the tireless Zulu Chaka are described in the new book by N. N. Nepomnyashchy.< /p>
