Rediscovering the Lost Legacy
It is no news that Nigeria is as old as any other civilization in history. There was the popularly known Oyo Empire as well as the Benin Empire, both of which still exist in the present day. In Africa, there was the Ancient Egypt that emerged from 3100 BC until 30 BCE, the Carthaginian civilization in the 9th century, the Kushites from 1070 BCE till 350 CE, the Akusumite Empire from 1 CE till 7 CE, the Kingdom of Ghana from the 6th century, and so on. There is, however, a civilization that has been lost to history because of inaccessibility to the research ground. This civilization is known as the Nok Culture and existed in present-day Nigeria between roughly 500 BCE and 200 CE. Due to Nigeria's reputation for disorder, corruption, and expensive visas, archaeologists have stayed away, and the rate of study has been significantly delayed. Archaeologists move a teaspoon of earth on the Niger for every ton they move on the Nile, according to anthropologist George Murdock's 1959 observation.
