Lost Kingdoms of Africa
Presented by art historian Dr Gus Casely-Hayford, Lost Kingdoms of Africa explores the rich histories of Africa’s great civilisations – the kingdoms of West Africa, Great Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and the Nubia of Sudan.
Casely-Hayford brings in-depth knowledge and great sympathy to his themes, looking at how these civilisations – far more advanced than their European contemporaries – have faded out of global history. I found the Nubia programme particularly fascinating with its pyramids and black pharaohs.
There are only a few days left to see these superb programmes on BBC iplayer, so check them out on the BBC website.
