Lost Kingdoms of Africa

Hi guys, 

I thought I'd share a clip from this wonderful documentary that I bought the other day called Lost Kingdoms of Africa.

Lost Kingdoms of Africa, documents the journey of art historian Dr. Gus Casley  - Hayford to discover the mysterious hidden culture of pre-colonial Africa. He covers four of Africa's most important kingdoms located in Ethiopia, Benin, Zimbabwe, and Sudan.

The documentary is a rich body of work  that  I would recommend to anyone who is fascinated to know more about ancient African history.

The DVD series can be purchased at the BBC shop  here

More about this programme: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qbytc When magnificent 16th-century bronze casts were discovered in the kingdom of Benin in 1897, many could not believe they had been made by Africans. It was thought West Africa lacked the technical development required to make them.

Teach Children In Brazil About African Culture & History

Brazil has the biggest black African diaspora outside of Africa. Now, when it comes to children’s media there is very little reflection of this fact. As we are based in Nigeria we didn’t really have any idea just how bad the situation was. That is until we were approached by several English speaking Brazilian fans of Bino & Fino asking if there was a Portuguese version of the show.
