Answer:

there are no written records

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this answer right on my worksheet.

Little is known about medieval Africa as there were virtually no written records. The northern half, which included the empires of Egypt, Ghana, Mali, and Aksum, was quite prosperous because of the trade routes. The sub-Saharan region consisted of many tribes, the largest being the Bantu. There was no centralized government and no writing.

The lands of Africa were not explored at this time due to disease, foreign malitias, and transportation. They also were very secluded to their lands during this time.
