The Ancient Africans made many contributions to the world that we still remember and use today. For instance, they were very skilled blacksmiths and made many iron weapons and tools. Another great achievement they made is figuring out that there are 360 degrees in circle and that is very important in mathematics even in today. Also, they made very big and sturdy boats to travel along the stormy Indian Ocean Trade route. One last accomplishment that they made is their advanced astronomy that was far greater than the Europeans.
