I dont know that africa trade with so many country's and that the empire of kush as one -time wealthy as eypt

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important because you don't want to want to make any wrong assumptions.

# data[].attributes.body
In Mali, they were very rich because of the gold and salt

# data[].attributes.body
I learn that there was gold in Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know anything about the African Ancient Civilizations/

# data[].attributes.body
Mali

# data[].attributes.body
Because that we understand that Africa was not always a continent "a bad continent" and in the and that we learn about the history from the empires and understand how wealthy and great Africa was in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
that even their old civilizations were very powerful

# data[].attributes.body
We learn a lot of the African civilizations and probably get a lot of ideas

# data[].attributes.body
I got the chance to learn about the powerful side of Africa, rather then what I have been learning in previous years.

# data[].attributes.body
We were always taught about the more powerful civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
Kush

# data[].attributes.body
That a lot of gold coming out from early Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
im just suprised that these arent very popular because they had alot of gold and had huge buildings and pyramids

# data[].attributes.body
to learn more about history and learn about africa.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we have not so much knowlege about the empires from early Africa because all think that Africa is a not so wealthy continent and nobody want to learn more about the great empires from early Africa because thy was very wealthy

# data[].attributes.body
Because we can learn many things to Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
It taught me Africa is not just a poor continent and it was very powerful in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
because some people could believe that other civilizations are more important even though africa is actually an interesting place

# data[].attributes.body
It is vary important to know different civilizations not only one and so we know there historie.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that it's because not a lot of people learn about africa, i think that they learn about more powerful country or civiliations.

# data[].attributes.body
We are not as educated about the other countries in Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
Axum Kush and Mali

# data[].attributes.body
So we know how people used to live and work in earlier times, and how that brought that where we are right now.

# data[].attributes.body
They actually work and trade a lot more than i knew and i realized that Egypt wasn't the only important african civilization.

# data[].attributes.body
so we can know about how civilizations worked and how they were different than the present and how cultures started

# data[].attributes.body
I am surprised Africa imported so much gold and was so powerful in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know of any

# data[].attributes.body
One example of a civilization that was pretty wealthy was Mali. Back in ancient Mali, salt used to be worth the same as gold, and Mali used to have a lot of salt!

# data[].attributes.body
HI

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know that Africans civilizations were so powerful.

# data[].attributes.body
It surprised me that salt was equal to gold, and that you used it instead of refridgerators.

# data[].attributes.body
Because we properly new about others civilizations and we were maybe focusing more in others.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to learn about Africa because different cultures are really amazing and we can learn so much from them.

# data[].attributes.body
because its hard to find

# data[].attributes.body
kush

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of what I learnt about Africans was when places in Europ and in America started enslaving Africans.

# data[].attributes.body
because we didn't learn about Africa.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know that the Romans traded with Axum for their Frankincense.

# data[].attributes.body
That tey made so many invetions

# data[].attributes.body
i thought Africa was poor but after this lesson i realized that there is places in Africa that are very powerful and rich.

# data[].attributes.body
because we havent lived back when these civilizations started but we still got evidence from objects and writings, etc

# data[].attributes.body
So we are more aware of ancient history and civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
We do not know much because now Africa is not a first world country and schools curriculum is not focused on Africa

# data[].attributes.body
I do not really know. Maybe from a young age telling kids that South Africa is a country, while Africa is a continent could help.

# data[].attributes.body
I were aware about about the great empire from Mali i knoe that they were in the past very powerful

# data[].attributes.body
because people never really single out countries when they are taght about africa so maby you could teach that in social studies from a young age

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that there are a lot more civilizations in africa but it didn't change much besides that.

# data[].attributes.body
Mali,kush, Zimbawe, eygpt, botswana

Info from ted ed

# data[].attributes.body
Well, Africa was not really a topic we talked that much about in school so we kind of just had to assume.

# data[].attributes.body
we need to learn about more African history because people say things that are wrong and not true

# data[].attributes.body
I wasnt aware

# data[].attributes.body
Mali

# data[].attributes.body
Great Zimbabwe, Axum, Mali, Kush

# data[].attributes.body
I thrird Adam

# data[].attributes.body
So we aren't just limited to the knowledge from other civilizations.

# data[].attributes.body
they did not change.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's because not a lot of people learn about it, or many schools focus on more powerful empires and civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
I though they were more powerful

# data[].attributes.body
I was not aware of any early African civilization.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know anything.

# data[].attributes.body
how they wrer associated w rome

# data[].attributes.body
How powerful these territories were

# data[].attributes.body
i was not aware of the civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
i didnt know about any other civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
I knew that the Great Zimbabwe because I've heard my brother talk about it when he was in middle school.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the other civilizations were more well known.

# data[].attributes.body
i second adam

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know about any of the civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
because we dont learn about it as much

# data[].attributes.body
no, i was not aware of any other african civilizations.

# data[].attributes.body
no, i was not aware of any civilizations

# data[].attributes.body
As I investigated the civilization of Mali, I learned that salt used to cost the same as gold!

# data[].attributes.body
So we know more about history

# data[].attributes.body
yes i heard of a powerful nation with rich kings around timbuktu

# data[].attributes.body
Because we think about more powerful continets modern day like Europe, Asia, and North America.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I was not aware that there were so many different kingdoms in Africa

# data[].attributes.body
I was not aware of any civilizations
