Africa

Standard

The continent of Africa is home to many great landmarks. For example, the Nile River, which is one of the only rivers that flows north, snakes around through the land. Africa is the most diverse continent on the Earth, meaning that it contains almost every climate except frozen tundra. There are deserts, jungles, Safari plains, forests, mountains and lakes.

The oldest African civilization is Egypt, which was the strongest and most well-known. It was ruled by Pharaohs, and was based around the Nile River. Many times the rich civilization was attacked and plundered, but two empires, the Roman and Persian Empires, are known for successfully conquering it. After Egypt was reconquered by the Egyptians, they adopted the Islamic religion.

Nubia was another civilization in Africa. It was located to the south of Egypt near the Nile River. It was known for making great trades with the Arabia and Mediterranean civilization, as well as beginning the art of ironworking.

Ethiopia was established around 500 BC. It was built up by trade in the Red Sea. It was an Arab style country later adding in some Egyptian and Greek culture. It was ruled by a strong line of Kings, and soon became a particularly rich and strong civilization.

About 1250 years after 500 AD. Africa began to slowly develop into a more tribal nation. Soon the European nation wanted to colonize parts of Africa because of its riches. With its diverse climates, the Nile, and the unique civilizations, Africa is an amazing continent.
