I don't think any of the indigenous tribes had developed writing so such evidence is probably not to be found. It would have to come from early colonizers writing down oral histories, and they were far more interested in oppression than preservation of culture.
- defrost 3y agoHmmm. What about the pre colonial kingdoms such as, say, the Kingdom of Luba with a million people in fishing, farming and metal-working communities paying taxes to their King? Do you think that they, or their neighbouring kingdoms in the Congo basin, had any works similar to, say, the Ethiopian Kebra Nagast (a 14th Century work)?
