When scientists were looking for information in the soil, the artifacts just disappeared which implies that they no longer lived in that place. "Scientists believe that some reasons they could have left or died were, an epidemic, invasion, famine, or their economy crashed".(Holloway, April. "The Highly Advanced and Mysterious Ancient Civilization of the Nok." Ancient Origins. N.p., 22 July 2013.) .All of these options are very possible but scientists have no proof, so it is still unknown. But they left a great legacy for the people around them and influenced the lives of many civilizations who came after them and learned from their techniques. They also influenced present day because people still use their iron smelting techniques and present day countries judicial systems are very similar to theirs. These are just the advancements that scientist have discovered. Its very likely they used their knowledge to create tools to make their lives easier, like most civilizations have done in the past. If the Nok people could smelt iron and run a more modern judicial system its likely they invented and inspired things we use in our everyday life. And although we are aware of what they actually believed, based on their sculptures we can assume that their society was probably built around their gods and religion. They did and currently inspire the way people smelt
