This section talked about the Niger River. Something that got my attention and was mention on the reading was that Egypt, China, the Roman Empire, or Axum were Niger urban centers. These Niger urban centers were not encompassed within some larger imperial system. Nor were they like the city-states of ancient Mesopotamia, but according to a leading historian of the region they were "cities without citadels". This got my attention because i got the opportunity to learned what this states were.
