How can you get gold from a West African river? Where can you see a famous mosque made of mud? Why do the Dogon people hold a mask festival every 12 years? This title uncovers the mysteries of life in West Africa between AD 1200 and 1600. Discover what people ate in the rainforest and the savannah, how they used drums to send messages to distant villages, and how great kingdoms, such as Mali and Benin, gained their wealth.
