Book Recommendations:

Austen, Ralph A. Trans-Saharan Africa in World History. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2010.

Conrad, David C. Empires of Medieval West Africa: Ghana, Mali, and Songhay. Chelsea House Publishers, 2010.

Ehret, Christopher. Civilizations of Africa: A history to 1800. Charlottesville: The University of Virginia Press, 2018.
(This one is super long and a bit academic, but covers an extremely broad timeframe and area, and goes much further back than most history books on Africa.)

Fauvelle , Francois-Xavier. The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages. S.l.: Princeton University Press, 2021. (This book covers a lot of topics in African history over a pretty wide area, but isn't overwhelmingly long)

Gomez, Michael A. African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. (Very good book on Medieval Sahelian history)

Parker, John, and David Adjaye. Great Kingdoms of Africa. Oakland, CA: University of California Press, 2023. (This book features articles written by different scholars on a variety of topics from across Africa, and like The Golden Rhinoceros it's not too long. Great place to get a taste of history from across the continent)

Phillipson, David W. Foundations of an African Civilisation: Aksum and the Northern Horn, 1000 BC - AD 1300. Oxford: James Currey, 2012.

Thornton, John. Africa and Africans in the making of the Atlantic World: 1400-1800. Cambridge: Cambridge Univ. Press, 2007. (Probably my favorite book an Atlantic Africa)

Human-kind begins in Africa, evolving to become anatomically modern humans 300,000 years ago in Africa. Significant out-migrations from Africa began 95,000 years ago into different habitats on earth, leading to the human differentiation that created the "races".

In this enlightening documentary, we embark on a journey through time to uncover the hidden history of Yahweh, the God of the Bible, as perceived by his ancient worshippers. Our exploration is rooted in the groundbreaking research of Francesca Stavrakopoulou, as presented in her seminal work "God: An Anatomy." Delving deep into the ancient Near Eastern context, we reveal a startling reality: Yahweh, once part of a larger divine family, was not always the solitary figure we recognize today.

We explore the fascinating, yet lesser-known aspects of Yahweh's identity – his relationship with his father El, his consort Asherah, and his position within a broader pantheon of deities. This documentary challenges conventional views, shedding light on the transformation of Yahweh from a member of a divine assembly to the sole omnipotent deity of later monotheistic traditions.

Prepare to be astonished as we unravel the intricate tapestry of ancient beliefs, rituals, and theological evolutions. This is a must-watch for those seeking to understand the complex origins and evolution of one of the world's most influential deities. Whether you're a scholar, a student of history, or simply curious, this documentary promises to be a revelatory and thought-provoking experience, opening eyes to a dimension of biblical history seldom discussed in mainstream discourse.
