About the Book

This book is a chronicle of the great pioneer ancient navigational and exploratory achievements of King Hanno II the Navigator of Carthage, and related events such as his discovery of Ambazonia through the Ambas Bay and the Mount Fako ( that he named the Chariot of the Gods), and the pioneer navigational and exploratory voyage of his brother, Himilco, to Northwestern Europe. The book is a collaboration between new author, James McKinley, and multiple author, Mark Tyler. The book opens with a dedication, which leans towards those who are appreciative and passionate towards learning and understanding the great achievements of our fellow humans in ancient times when technology was still unsophisticated, and the implications that those feats have for us today. This is followed by the introduction, which highlights the reasons for the voyage of Hanno to the Gulf of Guinea, and touches on everything that the book will eventually elaborate on comprehensively. Next, is the first main chapter of the book that is all about the voyage of Hanno the Navigator to the Gulf of Guinea. The chapter is divided into 6 parts. The first part focuses on the preliminary voyage of Hanno, which involved the establishment and population of Carthaginian colonies in Africa. The second part deals with the exploratory voyage of Hanno to the Gulf of Guinea, which is itself subdivided into 3 sub-units. The first sub-unit is about Hanno's actual start of his exploratory voyage from Kerne, right to his arrival at the Gulf of Guinea. The second sub-unit talks about his exploits at the Gulf of Guinea, especially his discovery of the Ambas Bay and Mount Fako, and thus the discovery of Africa's newest nation, the Federal Republic of Ambazonia. The third sub-unit delves into the final exploits of Hanno in the Gulf of Guinea, his return back home to Carthage, his writing of an account of his historic voyage and its public display publication at the Temple of their Chief god. The third part of the chapter elaborates on the translation of Hanno's original account of his voyage into the Greek Periplus of Hanno, and the events related to it. The fourth part focuses on the only two existing translated copies of the Periplus of Hanno that have survived to modern times. The fifth part talks about the legacy of the voyage of Hanno the Navigator to the Gulf of Guinea, and aspects of modern popular culture that reference to Hanno's voyage. This first main chapter concludes with a sixth part, which briefly and comprehensively elaborates on the history of the Hanno-discovered Federal Republic of Ambazonia. The first main chapter is followed by the second and final chapter of the book, which talks about Hanno's second navigational and exploratory voyage to Africa that involves his pioneer circumnavigation of the African continent after the failed voyage of the Persian, Sataspes, and the pioneer navigational and exploratory voyage of Hanno's brother, Himilco, to Northwestern Europe. This chapter is divided into 3 parts. The first part deals with the failed voyage of Sataspes of Persia, at the request of their king, King Xerxes, that ended at the Gulf of Guinea, as he could not go any further from there and was forced to return back home. The second part of the chapter delves into the circumnavigation of Africa by Hanno, and the associated commentaries on the voyage by intellectuals of antiquity such as Herodotus, Pomponius Mela and Pliny the Elder. The third part focuses on the voyage of Himilco as far as Northwestern Europe, the original and translated accounts of his voyage, the latter being known as the Periplus of Himilco, and related commentaries on the voyage by ancient intellectuals. The book concludes with a bibliography that acknowledges sources from which material was obtained for this book.
