I heard Gates on Tom Joyner show this morning when i heard about this.
He said they will cover Mansa Musa. There was some African queen that fought and defeated the Roman empire in war. They found like a 4000yr old afro pik.
I didnt hear the whole interview but it sounds like a more credible Hidden Colors -
I will be watching

Another one to buy and add to the collection.

Caught the 1st hour but had to put kids to bed.

So, I'm 2 thirds of the way through. It's pretty good. I still have to see number 3 before I can judge, but all in all it doesn't seem to bring anything new. It's largely the same as the BBC special that was done years ago. I was expecting that, but hoping it would be different. -

Well history is pretty much the same lol
also I think the United Kingdom as compared to the USA does not have that much of a problem accepting history & science as fact. -

lol I wasn't expecting them to change history. It's just that that series is pretty old, so there is always the chance that new discoveries might have been made or the PBS special might have simply focused on different things. -
I've been enjoying this

I agree with Monk tho nothing new most of this was accepted years ago but it's still a good watch

Did they touch on the roots of Kemet and it's secrets and how the pryamids are space ships and aliens helped us craft them and we use sound waves to lift the blocks?

Kinda crazy. The Europeans did Africa ? , but it really seems like Africans ? themselves. At one point they were dealing with the Euros pretty evenly, then they basically depleted the continent of manpower and were unable to defend themselves. -

I remember reading about him. He was a hoe ass ? for real for real. My favorite person of the past was Toussaint L'overture father, he was real and didn't want power.
