Ancient Africa.
The ancient people that lived in the continent of Africa had a comprehensive source of wealth that would boost them in their existence since by then property determined almost everything that ran in the society. Most cases the people that got high ranks in the government had a lot of wealth that it was now automatically perceived as if they had the knowledge to govern the people. Egypt is one of the ancient African kingdoms that were ever documented. The land of Egypt was blessed and the rulers of that time had a lot of wealth. Wealth in those old times was acquired through hard labor such as mining and farming. Ancient Egypt was well known for the fish market where its resident caught the fish in the Nile River and sold them after having satisfied their own families.
Minerals up to date are a huge source of income to the people in Africa. Among the richest individuals in the world are associated with mining. Kankan Musa, the world’s ever richest man, was involved in the mining of gold and acquired his wealth by selling gold to the countries neighboring his country Mali. Some other communities in ancient Africa were engaged in trade activities where they acted as middlemen to some transactions or even dealt with direct operations. Hausa people of Ethiopia have engaged in commerce apart from scale farming that brought wealth to individuals and the country. Based on the documented facts of the ancient Africa there is a big contradiction that comes in comparing the traditional notions that were put in about Africa. The concepts described it as a poor continent that had no progress before the coming of the white man which is quite opposite from the truth.
