About this listen

Unlock the Lost Legends and Hidden Kingdoms of Ancient Africa
Think you know African history? While most people picture the pyramids of Giza, few realize that ancient Nubia built over two hundred pyramids — more than anywhere else on Earth. Ancient Africa: Pyramids, Pharaohs, Lost Cities, and Powerful Kingdoms takes you on an unforgettable journey through the overlooked empires, captivating cultures, and brilliant innovations that shaped a continent.

Here’s just a glimpse of what you’ll uncover inside:

  • How ancient hunters from the San people used poison-tipped arrows to take down large game
  • The mysterious “Land of Plenty” known as Punt — and the clues to where it may have been
  • The Nok civilization’s advanced tools and terracotta masterpieces
  • Carthage’s massive harbor that welcomed fleets from across the Mediterranean
  • How farmers of the Garamantes thrived deep in the Sahara
  • The rise of powerful Berber kingdoms in North Africa
  • Why King Ezana of Axum transformed his empire through faith
  • And much, much more!
