    Interesting video on the Nok culture founded in central Nigeria. It seems to be one of the oldest cultures in west Africa. The video highlights some of the culture's art work.

    I caught that PBS series. I had no idea that Mansa Musa ruler of the Mali Empire is considered the richest person in HISTORY.
