Lost Kingdoms of Africa

Four-part series in which British art historian Dr Gus Casely-Hayford explores the pre-colonial history of some of
Africa's most important kingdoms.



The African continent is home to nearly a billion people. It has an incredible diversity of communities and cultures,
yet we know less of its history than almost anywhere else on earth. But that is beginning to change. In the last few
decades researchers and archaeologists have begun to uncover a range of histories as impressive and extraordinary as
anywhere else in the world. The series reveals that Africa's stories are preserved for us in its treasures, statues and
ancient buildings - in the culture, art and legends of the people





1) Nubia

The first episode looks at Nubia, in what is now northern Sudan, a kingdom that dominated a vast area of the eastern
Sahara for thousands of years. Its people were described as barbarians and mercenaries, and yet Nubia has left us with
some of the most spectacular monuments in the world. Casely-Hayford traces the origins of this fascinating kingdom back
to 10,000 BC. He explores how it developed and what happened to it and its people, discovering that its kings once ruled
Ancient Egypt and that it was defeated not by its rivals but by its environment.



2) Ethiopia

When Emperor Haile Selassie was deposed by the Ethiopian military in 1974, an ancient kingdom came to an end. According
to tradition, the imperial dynasty stretched back virtually unbroken to 950 BC and its origins had links to King Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba. The legitimacy of Haile Selassie and the foundations of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church rested on
this claim, but was it true? Casely-Hayford searches for the evidence and discovers why faith in the legend has lasted
for centuries. He traces Ethiopia's heritage back in time, investigating its astonishing secrets and legends.



3) Great Zimbabwe

In 1871, European explorers stumbled across an astonishing ruined city, deep in the African interior. Great Zimbabwe has
been a source of fascination and controversy ever since, a symbol of African genius and a fascinating insight into the
empires which once dominated southern Africa.

Casely-Hayford goes in search of the roots of this immense kingdom. He traces the trade in gold and precious goods that
sustained it and uncovers the kingdoms that grew up around it.



4) West Africa

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. Dr
Casely-Hayford travels to present-day Nigeria and Mali in search of the truth, exploring what the bronzes mean, how the
technology to make them developed, and what it reveals about the lost kingdoms of West Africa.
