An ancient writing system confounding myths about Africa

An ancient writing system from Zambia challenges myths about African literacy, shedding light on overlooked cultural heritages. Artefacts, including a wooden hunters' toolbox etched with the sophisticated Sona writing system, are part of a social media campaign by the Women's History Museum of Zambia to highlight women's roles in pre-colonial communities. Rediscovering these lost traditions aims to reconnect with cultural heritage amid a resurgence of interest in reclaiming Africa's knowledge systems.
