7 Powerful Kingdoms That Ruled the Philippines Before Spain (900 Years of Lost History)

Описание: Before Spain colonized the Philippines in 1565, the islands were home to powerful kingdoms, rajahnates, and sultanates that ruled for centuries. From the Kingdom of Tondo to the Sultanate of Sulu, these ancient states had international trade, written laws, advanced shipbuilding, and strong political systems long before European arrival.
In this documentary-style video, we explore the 7 major pre-colonial kingdoms of the Philippines, their rulers, culture, and how colonization attempted to erase this rich history.
