![Roman Scholar Describes Ancient Africa // Pliny on Source of The Nile and Aethiopia - 1st century AD
Signup for your FREE trial to The Great Courses Plus here: http://ow.ly/PRXj30qdmY9
A land containing not only powerful imperial dynasties and massive historical armies, but also tribes of dog-headed men, hungry cannibals and looming giants...
Here we have Pliny The Elders description of the lands south of Egypt - as far south into Ancient Africa as Rome had ventured at the time. Whether searching for the source of the Nile, or in attempts to conquer the ancient Kingdom of Kush, Romes knowledge of the region was surprisingly detailed - and unsurprisingly outlandish.
Translated by John Bostock and HT Riley.
