Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers such as the Nile and the Niger. 

Some of the earliest great civilizations were born there, and they give us an insight into the smaller kingdoms of ancient Africa.

A wealth of information about African history

I bought this audiobook to get a better understanding of the rich history of Africa/Africans, and as a default African-Americans, BEFORE slavery took place. Our history does not start at slavery but from a much culturally richer place. This book fulfilled my desire to know in a more robust way the richness of our culture. I recommend that everyone read and learn from this book.

Wonderful book!

Once again Captivating History comes through with thorough research on the different civilizations. Wonderful book!

History Requires Disclosure

Wonderful and in depth historical share. Looking forward to learning more about this fascinating topic. Thank you.

Not what I expected

I was very disappointed with this book. There was minimal information given in a very dry and droning manner. If you are looking for a detailed history that grab your attention, avoid this book.

This is terrible

Don’t bother with this. It sounds like someone padded out a Wikipedia article, and very badly. The writing is sloppy and sounds like a first-year university student’s essay. It’s too bad as it’s a fascinating subject, and the narrator has done an admirable job — but the text is just terribly written.

Great high-level information

Great high-level information of ancient African kingdoms. Leaves the listener excited to go further into their stories to learn more about different groups.

This was an interesting audible

This was an interesting audible. I didn’t know much about ancient Africa and I enjoyed learning about it. Well recorded, and highly recommended!

Ok. The printed book might be better.

This book didn’t capture my attention like I expected. It came across as rather dry - and I am a history major!

interesting & informative

Very interesting & informative look at the kingdoms of Ancient Africa & how they interacted with other, more well-known ancient empires

A wonderful book on a subject

A wonderful book on a subject I don’t know much about! Covers everything to fill in the void. Excellent research by Captivating History!

all over the place

Some enteresting events, but very frustrating as more than often the words, not clear, some suggest, there's no clear evidence, legend says and so on. Never solid evidence, so they should add the word " Theory" in the main Title

Very enjoyable

I knew about Ancient Egypt but very little about the other kingdoms. This book helped resolve that and was an enjoyable listen.

Needs more kingdoms

No mention of Songhai and only focussed on Kingdom of Kush. Retitle it to Kush kingdom
