A history documentary on the wars which forged the Mali Empire!
In this series we trace the rise and fall of the Mali Empire. Part 1 (https://youtu.be/zQzjzVxKk74) covered the broad history of the region and the geopolitical events which set the stage for Sundiata's revolt against the Sosso Empire. In Part 2 we follow this Mankinka prince's campaigns which see him found the Mali Empire. We then cover the wars of conquest which led to the rise of this new kingdom to unprecedented heights.Sources:Spring, Christopher, African Arms and Armour, British Museum Press, 1993Walker, Robin, When We Ruled: The Ancient and Medieval History of Black Civilizations, Black Classic Press, 2011Diop, Cheikh Anta, Precolonial Black Africa, A Cappella Books, 1988Niane, Djibril Tamsir, Sundiata: an Epic of Old Mali, Pearson Longman; 2nd edition, 2006Music:"Heart of Africa" by Luke PN"Misguided Path" by Bonnie Grace"Desert Footsteps" by Sight of Wonders"Savannah Nights" by Zauana"In the Trenches" by Jon Sumner"Desert Winds" by Jon Sumner"There is no Sequel" by Philip AyersCredits:Research = J.
