From the web:
"In 1928, archaeologists unearthed artifacts from an amazing culture that flourished from about 500BC to AD200. The archaeologists referred to the ancient culture as the Nok, the name of a modern Nigerian village where they made their discovery.
The Nok artifacts included sculptures of animals and people made of terra cotta, or fired clay. The complex Nok sculptures were probably based on woodcarvings, but any wooden artifacts would have disintegrated long ago in the humid climate of West Africa. This leads archaeologists to believe that the Nok civilization may have been much older than even the oldest artifact.
The Nok discovered that by heating certain rocks they were able to smelt iron. Iron is very malleable, so it can be reshaped to make weapons and plows. Most ancient cultures discovered copper and bronze before iron, but the Nok apparently moved directly from the Stone Age to the Iron Age."
The Nok were from the Jos Plateau, or certainly near it. Nok was also the name of their main village, and archeological finds have been made at places such as Taruga. I added names of cities/villages from the area in later days, as very little factual knowledge has been retained from the time of the Nok. There are no leader names, so I've taken those from Yaroba legends (the Yaroba succeeded the Nok in the area).
As for my new African queen leaderhead, I thought that some Amazons originated in Africa and that Myrene
might be of African descent. I'd really like to have a fourth African tribe in the mod, and if the Amazons shouldn't be represented as an African civ, I would have liked a civ to represent the Congo or a similar geographical area. However, there's no info I can find, so if anyone could help me, I'd be very grateful
