Ancient Meroe and the African civilizations outside Egypt

Ancient History Maximalism · @microranger10 · 17d ago

I've been into Ancient History for about 6 months now and wanted to share my thoughts.

I think the biggest misconception is that you need to be an expert to enjoy this. Just start with Mesopotamia and go from there.

Would love to hear what others think.
