Why have historians generally paid more attention to pharaonic Egypt than to the societies of sub-Saharan Africa?
Highc275
The major reason is that Egyptian civilization is supported by written evidence about the level of civilization achieved in any period of time as further back as 4500 years BCE and although hieroglyphs are translated and therefore can be evaluated while in the sub Saharan societies such evidence and proof of civilization level is missing therefore someone can only work on assumptions that are not solid.
