Weapons of Africa have come in a great number of awesome varieties throughout African history. In this series we focus on the African swords which were not only powerful tools of combat but also amazing looking works of art as well. Each sword design is both interesting aesthetically and most likely very effective tools for fighting. The blades are typically made of iron, but can be made of other metals as well. The weapons we'll see today are from Central Africa, specifically the country of Gabon. These swords are the weapons of various African peoples such as the Fang, Kota, Punu and more. We will also discuss the swords from a historical and cultural perspective as well.

Africa is a big place with a lot of cool weapons and this is just the beginning you'll see plenty more swords as the series continues.

If you enjoy learning about African history, culture, and art, be sure to stay tuned to the Red Spirit Mask channel. Africa is a big place and has a lot of cool weapons and we have other African weapon videos as well and there's more to come.
