However, in the time before the Europeans arrived in Africa in the late 15th century, the civilizations of Africa had already accomplished many great things.

The ancient kingdom of Ghana, at one time in its history, was the controller of the trans-Saharan gold and salt trade, and made sure that the world knew it. The court of the Ghanaian king was described as a luxurious place filled with luxurious people; even the dogs wore collars of gold and silver.
