Reenacting the first circumnavigation of Africa

[Eleatic Guest]

So, we do not really know whether the ancients believed the story Herodotus disbelieved.

So I guess, Herodot left the only ancient textual evidence we have about the 'island shape' of Africa?

Loosely connected, there were two Roman centurios who ventured as far as southern Sudan on their search for the beginning of the Nile. Fascinating.
