Wonders of Africa

There are endless wonders that are spread throughout Africa. While searching through all of Africa has to offer I realize I have not hear of any of them. The first one that caught my eye was the Great Mosque of Djenne. This mosque is extremely detailed in every corner and the architecture is something that I have never seen before. I found out not only is it a beautiful site, it served as the center of town between the 13th and 19th century. The second new thing I learned about Africa is the city of Gondar. This city consisted of multiple castles for the wealthy and was the capital for Ethiopia in the 17th-19th century. Before I found out about this city, I never knew that castles existed in Africa. Lastly, I learned about the pyramids of Giza. Once again I have no knowledge of deserts/pyramids being associated with Africa. The 2 million blocks used for these pyramids shocks me because that is an unbelievable amount.

I believe that I have never heard of these wonders in Africa before because the world does not focus on Africa that much. If Africa does become a matter of focus, then usually it is about the poverty that occurs in poor areas. Also I believe other countries do not take time to acknowledge the importance of what Africa has to offer the world.
