Iron in Africa is said to be something possessed as a result of one's natural situation and a resource for development.
In history, Sub-saharan African Metallurgy, which is written in the early years of the last century as a subject reveal due to the revelation of research.
It is said to be an hazy knowledge that iron in Africa is caused by diffussionism,
Iron making in Africa are of different precess, in different places.
It was so funny to me when my professor said this, about how iron ore is found, that in the ancient times they had to go with virgin boy or girl, for a great intervention from their deities, also experience.
How you get to know places where iron ore can be found, you get to know by their name, for example :Isundunrin, Ilorin and so on, also we get to know by name Abirin, ogundele, and so on.
