Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Exploration: With Descriptions of Curious Customs, Thrilling Adventures and Interesting Discoveries of Explorers in All Parts of the World Two thousand five hundred years ago there lived on the shores of the Greater Syrtis, a gulf of the Mediterranean Sea, between Carthage and Cyrene, a Libyan tribe called Nasamonians. Five young nobles, greatly wishing to learn something of the mysterious Sahara and the countries beyond, determined to make an expedition to the south. Herodotus, the Father of History, has given us a short account of their fortunes. They set out, he says, well furnished with food and water, and crossed first the inhabited country, then a region infested by wild beasts, and a great desert, through which they journeyed many days till they saw some trees growing in a plain. While they were gathering fruit off these trees some diminutive men came up and carried them away. Neither party understood the others language. The Nasamonians were taken through vast morasses to a city inhabited by black dwarfs, and situated on the banks of a river running eastwards, full of crocodiles. The young men at length reached home in safety. Thus was the Niger discovered. We may regard this as the first exploring expedition made deliberately into unknown lands, of which we have any historical record.
