Four-part series in which British art historian Dr Gus Casely-Hayford explores the pre-colonial history of some of Africa's most important kingdoms.

The African continent is home to nearly a billion people. It has an incredible diversity of communities and cultures, yet we know less of its history than almost anywhere else on earth.

But that is beginning to change. In the last few decades, researchers and archaeologists have begun to uncover a range of histories as impressive and extraordinary as anywhere else in the world.

The series reveals that Africa's stories are preserved for us in its treasures, statues and ancient buildings - in the culture, art and legends of the people.

The first episode looks at Nubia, in what is now northern Sudan, a kingdom that dominated a vast area of the eastern Sahara for thousands of years. Its people were described as barbarians and mercenaries, and yet Nubia has left us with some of the most spectacular monuments in the world.

Casely-Hayford traces the origins of this fascinating kingdom back to 10,000 BC. He explores how it developed and what happened to it and its people, discovering that its kings once ruled Ancient Egypt and that it was defeated not by its rivals but by its environment.

  • @IndoManiac90 nope what you said is incorrect and has been debunked buddy. It doesn't even make sense. You and your ilk are delusional dumbfucks. Expect a message.

  • @psychmaj323 nope, what i said is fact. Deal with it.

  • @psychmaj323 wrong, east africans have a lot of admixture, and most of it is from middle eastern males since neolithic times, thats the only reason caucasoid features exist in east africa, this is all fact. and most of that african diversity comes from admixture with euroasians and with archaic hominids that lived in africa, similar to how euroasians mixed with neanderthals, deal with it.

  • @IndoManiac90 East Africans have no admixture just like The San people. Africans have the most diversity on the planet and this is a fact.

  • @IndoManiac90 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a bunch of crock

  • @cannoir are you unable to read or what you inbreed ape, i said they mixed with the native east african women, this is obvious when you check their autosomal dna and deep ancestry, east africans have many y-haplogroups with euroasian origin and autosomally they cluster in between west africans and negroids, and show clear affinity to middle eastern caucasians because of the admixture they got from them.

  • Say what !!!! @ =>>"intrusive caucazillon" so who did they infect, the indians or the mongos.You are a misguided bufoon.

  • @cannoir stfu bitch, you are in denial, your people are not pure, and black/negroid phenotype is not the original one, its a more recent evolution compared to caucasoids and mongoloids. archeology has proved this as well, just like how genetics have proven east africans to be a hybrid population of native negroid females and intrusive caucasoid west asian males.

  • This is great! Not much taught of Africa in American schools. Thanks for upload.

  • It fucking matters to YOU, because you are the one who's busy dissecting MY DNA.I know what's in it better than you or any other Bitch for that matter.You can speculate all damn day it won't change a thang.We are are original sample just like the Khoisans.And many other ethnic groups I know whose pictures you will never find on google.These are the perks that come with being one of the original peoples.I meet tribe chiefs whose lineages are over 800 years ( documented ).
