[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rain King: [QB] [QUOTE]Then West, Central and Southern Africans could have essentially entered Egypt with their own [i]trading currency[/i], in the form of livestock, sales of livestock, breeding and livestock products (meat, milk, etc.). [/QUOTE]West Africa is a geographic location not the name of a people. West Africa has Nilo Saharan peoples, Niger-Congo peoples, Twa Peoples, Hausa etc, so who in the Hell is "THE" West African that you are referring to? The Niger-Congo and Nilo-Saharan speaking populations did not live in West Africa until after 2,000 BC, and that was primarily in the Western Sahara, not the tropical regions. The only people who lived in West Africa during those early periods were the Twa.

How much more difficult would learning to read and write [i]on a commercial/professional level[/i] have been 2500 to 5000 years ago?
