Sub-Saharan Africa: Kingdoms, Gold, and Global Influence

⁣Sub-Saharan Africa is often misunderstood — reduced to a single narrative.
But long before colonial borders were drawn, powerful kingdoms, trade networks, and intellectual centers flourished across the continent.
In this episode of DarkHarbour Knowledge, we explore:
• Early civilizations and migration patterns

• The rise of powerful empires

• Trans-Saharan trade and global commerce

• Centers of learning and culture

• The impact of external contact

• The transformation brought by colonialism

• The path toward independence
From ancient trade routes to imperial capitals, this is a story of innovation, resilience, wealth, and complexity.
History did not begin with colonization.
And it did not end there.
