Two places I would want to visit.

If I had to choose two places I would like to visit I would have to say Egypt and Timbuktu. I would choose these two because I am very interested in eastern civilization.I have always wanted to go to African countries.
I would choose Egypt as one country because it is the first advanced civilization in the world.The Egyptians heavily influenced the Greeks Romans and Arabs.the Egyptians were so advanced in mathematics that even to this day it is not known how the pyramids were built.
For Timbuktu's ,another African nation that had an advanced civilization I would choose this place because Timbuktu had the largest library in the world at one point and was a center for great academic achievements.
I mainly chose these two African countries to visit because living in a western civilization and euro centric society,I often learned far more about Greek and roman achievements than African kingdoms.I was usually left with cryptic and minute details about African civilization.The largest source of information about African culture generally involved slaveryand practically inferred that African history started from the point of enslavement.I therefore would like to visit these places to learn where African culture started from.
