The area now known as Ghana has long been inhabited by indigenous people as early as 4,000 years ago. Some sources suggest that the Akan, who are commonly believed to be the ancestors of the indigenous people of Ghana, first migrated to the area around the 10th century CE from the Dagomba area.

The ruler who first united Ghana under a single, powerful African kingdom is unknown, as the people of ancient Ghana had little surviving written records. This mystery king was renown for his wealth and his political power relative to the other African states.
