Ironworking in Africa
2. Ironworking in Africa
The Bantu speaking people in three thousand B.C.E. to one thousand C.E. began to migrate south and east from where they originated, which was the Benue region, in Africa. For years to follow they migrated through the Savanna, implementing agriculture and ironworking, particularly iron smelting to other African tribes. Throughout their migration, they assimilated with the other inhabitants of Africa, sharing their language, agricultural innovations, ironworking skills, and much more.
3. Kingdoms of Western Sudan
Around 1000 B.C.E. to 200 C.E the kingdoms of western Sudan lived together in villages. The basic social unit was the extended family because families and clans associated by blood kinship all lived amongst each other. A chief would govern a village, and his family and he made up the nobility. These kingdoms of western Sudan had a strong sense of community that was based on blood relationships. This allowed the villages to form small kingdoms that were able to control such vast territories.
7. Delhi Delhi is a city in North Africa and came about around the 1200s C.E. In 1206 C.E. Muhammad of Ghur captured Delhi and when he died his general Qutb-ud-din seized the reins of power and established the sultanate of Delhi which lasted three centuries. The Delhi Sultanate consisted of Islamic dynasties and emerged as a self-governing Muslim power. It is significant because they were able to hold off the Mongol, a fierce nomadic tribe. Unfortunately, the Delhi sultanate’s decline is due to the Baburs who gave a final blow to them in around 1500 C.E.
10. Bedouin In the Arabian Peninsula, the Bedouins were nomadic people during the sixth century and the seventh century. They lived according to ancient tribal patterns. They were constantly migrating from place to place in search of pastures to sustain their flocks. They lacked a unifying religion, and each tribe had its own gods. Although the Bedouins led a primitive and isolated

    Sub-Saharan Africa

    • 3 Pages

    During the period of 600 BCE to 600 CE, the Bantu-speaking Africans gradually began to interact with humans and the environment by settling into varying parts of West and East Africa and creating a network with their neighbors in order to receive new technologies and foods. The Bantu exchanged goods with local hunter-gatherers, and the people cut into forests and settled down into villages. The Assyrians first brought iron to Egypt around 600 BCE and it quickly spread to Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 200 CE, Indonesians settled on the coast bringing Asian bananas and, since they had a higher yield than African bananas, they spread inland and improved the food supply. People from southern Arabia established settlements on the coast near the Ethiopian highlands and through mixing with local residents, formed a new language known as Ge'ez (later Axum).…

    Bedouin Polytheism.

    • 758 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The word ‘Bedouin’ comes from the Arabic word for someone who dwells in the desert and also are known as Nomads. In the time of pre-Islamic Arabia, Nomads were constantly travelling and they never settled in one place. Some people settled near rivers but Nomads just lived in desserts and moved according to the seasons from place to place in search of food, water and land. Living on the fringes of the desert was a benefit because they could find enough food for their animals there and living in dry places such as deserts meant they could farm crops and search widely to find forage for their animals. They earned income by trading with the Sedentary/Pastoral tribes and transported goods like Camels and products like hand-made rugs.…

    Bedouin Society

    • 13 Pages

    The Bedouins, a nomadic people of the Middle East, are an indigenous people just as any other indigenous people around the world, striving for economical, political, and cultural autonomy. Even living in the harsh environment that the Middle East is, with the political and religious clashes between countries and even the deadly environment, which the Middle East is known for, the Bedouin people still continue to live with so much diversity surrounding them. Unfortunately since the 1970's, the Bedouin people are in a clash with the Israeli government concerning land rights and the assimilation of the Bedouin people into the Israeli society. Nonetheless, the Bedouin people still strive for the self-sufficiency and self-determination, so that they can continue to live in their own traditional ways. This way of life, the traditional way of life, without surrounding societies controlling their (the Bedouin) everyday lives, is what the Bedouin people want, and it is what they deserve.…

    Egypt started 5,000 years ago, and lasted for over 3,000 years, longer than most other civilizations in the world's history. It lies between Africa and the Middle East. This ancient country holds a history of over 6,000 years. The Pyramids, the Sphinx, the tomb of young King Tut are just a few pyramids built to bury thre rich and the royal.. The majority of the population in Egypt lives in an area along the Nile River called the Nile Valley and the Nile Delta. As a result, many places in this region are extremely crowded, with several thousand persons per square kilometer. Egypt's civilians today are mostly Ancient Egyptians, Arabs, Turks, and other peoples are blended in their ancestry. About half of the population of the Nile Delta are fellahin (pronounced fel-uh-heen), or peasants--either small landowners or laborers--living on the produce of the land. The average family of fellahin has four or five children, who start working as soon as they are able to do so. Most fellahin, especially the women, spend their lives in drudgery. The areas to the west and the east of the Nile River--the Western and the Eastern Deserts--only contain small settlements of semi-nomads--the Bedouins (pronounced bed-oo-in). They live by herding goats, sheep, and camels, or by trading--mainly with mining and petroleum camps, or with fishing communities on the coast. The Bedouins families are about the same size as the fellahin families, except that many Bedouin husbands have from two to four wives.…

    Before the establishment of permanent settlements, the people of the Arabian Peninsula lived very nomadic lifestyles. They relied heavily on hunting and gathering for food acquisition and designed their dwellings to be easy to put up and take down as their travel called for. They also travelled in fairly small groups in order to keep their provisions to a minimum and minimize their environmental risks. It wasn’t until the around 9000 BCE that the people of this region slowly began to transition into a more sedentary lifestyle (Heise, Sect. 2, np).…
