Hanno the Navigator was a Carthaginian explorer who lived in the 5th century BCE. He is best known for his expedition along the coast of West Africa, which is recorded in his work "Periplus" or "The Voyage of Hanno."
Hanno's voyage was commissioned by the Carthaginian Senate and took place around 500 BCE. He set sail with a fleet of ships from Carthage and traveled along the coast of modern-day Morocco, Senegal, and possibly as far as Sierra Leone. Along the way, he established colonies and traded with local tribes.
Hanno's account of his voyage, "The Voyage of Hanno," provides valuable information about the geography, wildlife, and people of West Africa during his time. However, the exact details of his journey and the extent of his exploration are still debated among historians.
Overall, Hanno the Navigator is remembered as one of the early explorers of Africa and his voyage is seen as an important moment in the history of ancient maritime exploration.
