Chapter Seven Continuation: The African Northeast

In this section of the chapter something that the chapter talked about was that during the classical era and older African civilizations such as Egypt and Nubia persisted and changed. They did that while new civilizations emerged in Axum and the Niger River valley. Also in south of the equator the Bantu-speaking peoples spread rapidly and created many new societies and identities. Another thing that this section talked about was during the fourth through the six centure C.E., Axum mounted a campaign of imperial expansions that took its forces into the Kingdom of Meroe and across the Red Sea into Yemen in South Arabia.
