An Archaeological Journey through Time
Africa has the longest history of humans and their ancestors on the planet. Human history began here, and from here new cultural techniques and nutritional strategies were carried throughout the world. The continent fascinates with its natural diversity. People had to adapt to constant (environmental) changes and develop new survival strategies.

Planet Africa. Eine archäologische Zeitreise
These experiences have never been as important as they are today. Archaeological finds, images and written evidence offer insights into art, crafts, technology and the environment of bygone times and provide evidence of exchange over long distances. Settlement excavations reveal urban structures, while at the same time nomadic lifestyles existed.
The exhibition, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Foreign Office, was designed in close coordination with actors in Africa and there will be correspondence projects in several locations there.
A special exhibition by the Museum of Prehistory and Early History - Berlin State Museums in cooperation with the German Archaeological Institute
