Historian Basil Davidson investigates the glory of the Kingdoms of the Ashanti and the kingdom of Mali. He shows how they were built on agriculture, military strength and were famous for gold (the colonial name of Ghana was "The Gold Coast"). These kingdoms were at the fulcrum oif a massive trading region steching from the Atlantic coast of West Africa to India. the video gives some insights into modern life in the region, dominated today as it was in ancient times, by the Niger river.
