Question

Early ironworking African people known as the Bantu are named for a town in which their first artifact was found, as we do not know what they called themselves.

True or False

Answer 1

False.....................................

Answer 2

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

The Bantu or Bantu peoples are different ethnic groups in Africa that are located from Central Africa to South Africa and speak the Bantu languages. These groups were called "Bantu" because it is supposed this word meant "people" in Proto-Bantu or the language that led to languages the Bantu speak and this word has been adapted to other languages with slight changes. Additionally, all these ethnic groups share common languages and other features including the use of ironworking that began around 500 BC. Considering this, it can be concluded it is false the Bantu were named for a town in which the firs artifact was found because they were named for a word in their language (Proto-Bantu) that meant "people".
