Africa – Ancient History 

African History   

http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/africa/history/index.htm

This site describes the development of early African cultures and kingdoms, and includes separate sections on many groups.   

Nubianet   

http://www.nubianet.org

Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor to the north, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Nubia is itself worthy of study and appreciation.  Nubianet is therefore a welcome site:  clearly organized and concise, the site offers information on Nubian history, culture, geography and climate.  Educational resources for both teachers and children supplement this information.
