#### Ancient Civilizations and Kingdoms
**Nok Culture (1000 BCE - 300 CE):**
The Nok culture, flourishing between 1000 BCE and 300 CE, is one of Africa's earliest known civilizations. Situated in central Nigeria, the Nok people are renowned for their advanced terracotta sculptures, which represent a significant artistic achievement of their time. Archaeological findings suggest that the Nok were among the earliest sub-Saharan societies to practice iron smelting, indicating a sophisticated level of technological advancement. The influence of Nok culture is evident in the subsequent development of other West African societies, laying a foundation for the rich cultural heritage of the region.
