Ancient Ghana was the first known great kingdom in West Africa (not to be confused with modern Ghana). The kings of Ancient Ghana ruled from 300 AD and its capital was Kumbi-Saleh. Prehistoric Ghana, however, flourished from around 1100 BC when large stone masonry villages were built adjacent to Kumbi-Saleh. Ancient Ghana was rich in Gold and it is said that the King of Ancient Ghana was the richest king on the face of the earth.
Old Djenne was another great city of Ancient Ghana and dated back to 250 BC. By 500 AD it had a population of 20,000 (a much larger population than London at that time). Old Djenne was a major trading point for gold, salt, ceramics, copper, iron and a great variety of foodstuffs.............More .
