Hmmm.

What about the pre colonial kingdoms such as, say, the Kingdom of Luba with a million people in fishing, farming and metal-working communities paying taxes to their King?

Do you think that they, or their neighbouring kingdoms in the Congo basin, had any works similar to, say, the Ethiopian Kebra Nagast (a 14th Century work)?
