Africa’s Trade Routes They Didn’t Teach You

Описание: Myth-busting cold open: Africa was never isolated. In 3 minutes we map the hidden highways—Trans‑Saharan caravans, Mali & Ghana’s gold-and-salt empires, and the Swahili Coast’s Indian Ocean trade hubs like Kilwa and Zanzibar. See how Timbuktu became an intellectual center, how Chinese porcelain and Indian beads prove early global links, and how trade spread Islam, Swahili, urban architecture, and technologies. Claims are based on academic research, archaeological evidence, Ibn Battuta’s accounts, and UNESCO site records. Watch for a quick visual map tour and a call to rethink conventional history.
