What reading level is Africa As Seen By Its Explorers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Vainly one tries to realize what it must have been like in the days before ruin fell upon it, with its tortuous and well-guarded approaches, its walls bristling with monoliths and round towers, its temple decorated with tall, weird-looking birds, its huge decorated bowls, and in the innermost recesses its busy gold-pfb- ducing furnace. What was this life like ? Why did the inhabitants so carefully guard themselves against attack ? A thousand questions occur to one which one longs in vain to ans...wer. The only parallel sensation that I have had was when viewing the long avenues of menhirs, near Carnac in Brittany, a sensation at once fascinating and 172 AFRICA vexatious, for one feels the utter hopelessness of knowing all one would wish on the subject. When taken alone, this fortress is sufficiently a marvel ; but when taken together with the large circular building below, the numerous ruins scattered around, the other ruins of a like nature at a distance, one cannot fail to recognise the vastness and power of this ancient race, their great con- structive ingenuity and strategic skill.
