The boxed area is Nigeria. I.e. Number 6.

On the legend. Number 6 says: Peak of Ife's Artistic and Spiritual influence (1300).

Historians know that's not true. Lol.
Ife was the only city out of present day Nigeria that traded with ancient Mali.
Wheat and many other crops not known to Nigeria were found at excavation sites in Ife. Ife artifacts are more ancient and older than that of Benin. Everything in history points to Ife being older.

Is it not luciferous pride to arrogate what one is not to oneself? Identity theft or subliminal order.
