South African fan here. Swell stuff. Still lotsa archeology, research and anthropology to be done on our home front. The map will surely get more detailed as the years roll by. I guess I could point out some things that might be slightly off but to be honest the literature on the subject matter is really scattered all over the show and not quite easy to acquire all in one place. Though the areas of and around the "Kongo Kingdom" are easier to illustrate due to that area being mapped as soon as the 16th century started. Everything in the interior before the 19th century still needs lotsa work. Can't wait for West Africa. That is gonna be real fun to see :)

Kilwa kisiwani was a business town. Was the center of business between sofala in Zimbabwe and Egypt , china and Oman. Arab people came and see where gold , ivory and spices came from.

[@hiddenhist]

Lupetto Versilia west africa, without ‘muslim colonization’, saw the most urban development in the continent. I know it is a common claim that ‘the almoravids colonized wagadou’. There is no actual substantial evidence for this having happened AT ALL, though there is evidence of influence over some cultural aspects, which is common when new neighbors and trade partners move in. Some historians then SUGGESTED that this influence MAY have been representative of a conquest, but there is no documental evidence for a conquest. Regardless, wagadou, and general urban development in west and east africa, predate islam, and predate any foreign influence. The Kongo and Zimbabwe civilizations; both containing examples of bantu urbanization, developed apart from foreign colonization / influence, and some bantu swahili coast cities developed from ancient settlements, while others were founded during the medieval era.

[@hiddenhist]

Lupetto Versilia ethiopia was not related to egypt. Perhaps you mean Aethiopia, ancient sudan, which did have ties to ancient egypt. But if your argument is that the egyptians ‘gave’ the sudanese cities, then thats false, seeing as to how their first urban development sites (such as at kerma) developed along their own lines and in their own manner.

[@hiddenhist]

Lupetto Versilia it doesnt matter what you ‘meant’ at this point, the comment was wrong, even with your new modifications. Ethiopian civilization certainly has a non african influence in its roots, that much is undeniable, but to say that it is completely non african in origin is objectively incorrect.

@Vic Viquor No Portugal dictator was sick, and its sucessor got removed by a peacefull coup, where people, instead of shooting, just put flowers in their guns. Its called 25 of Abril, the day of Liberty in Portugal. The colonies got lost because of the fall of the dictatorship, and some of them fell under the influences of communism, like angola and mozambique.

@Vic Viquor he's sucessor was not able to mantain the dictatorship, and Salazar, who ruled Portugal for more than 30 years, was fooled when was sick. He was in coma, and he still was thinking that ruled Portugal, but it was all a lie, and a strategy to keep him calm and under control. In 25 of April was not shot a single bullet in Portugal

I'm really having issue trying to understand Botswanan history. Bakwena and Bangwa. are incredibly hard to find information on. Best I can do is the wikipedia page for the Koena people, but it doesn't say anything about a kingdom or state or anything of society.

Most people think all of Africa was colonised by the Europeans for centuries, but most of it was only colonised for less than a century.

[@christianweibrecht6555]

Mostly because most folks have very little or no knowledge of African history "excluding Egypt" ,and modern media was invented after the scramble
