Lost Kingdoms of Africa


The guy who posted this sounds like a religious nut and the host of this four part BBC doc is basically a gay Indiana Jones wannabe, but don't let that put you off.

This is currently showing in Finland, you may have caught it already on BBC 4 in the UK. I got a bit hooked into this after reading Robert Bauval's Black Genesis, an interesting (very opinionated) study of early African empires which stretched the length and breadth of the continent, and which were just as sophisticated as the Egyptians.. Some interesting stuff and amazing ancient architecture. Worth a look.

Great stuff.

At 1:35 on part 4, talking about the shape of the uppermost window he says 'you see these shapes everywhere, but why these shapes?'

Then fails to point out that the shape is obviously a fucking mushroom.
