Explore one of Africa’s most compelling archaeological mysteries—Nabta Playa. Buried beneath the scorching sands of the Nubian Desert, this ancient site offers a glimpse into a Green Sahara past where innovative cultures thrived well before the rise of Ancient Egypt. Join us as we uncover the origins of these desert dwellers, their prehistoric astronomy aligned to the stars, and stone circles older than some of the world’s most famous monuments.

In this in-depth video, we dive into the cattle burials that highlight a deep-rooted spiritual practice possibly linked to later Egyptian deities, revealing how desert pastoralists contributed to ancient African civilizations. See how expert archaeologists like Fred Wendorf and Romuald Schild pieced together remnants of complex societies that once flourished in the Sahara’s lush, savanna-like environment. From hidden megalithic structures to extensive water management systems, discover the true scope of Nabta Playa’s influence on Ancient Egyptian roots.

Burkina Faso’s government just made a series of bold, coordinated decisions that could redefine its future. In a single council meeting, the country addressed education, security, justice, and economic reform, without foreign aid. What happened wasn’t routine policy. It was the quiet launch of a national transformation with continental implications.The council didn’t emerge with fanfare. But what it left behind was a series of decisions that read less like routine governance and more like a strategic reset. Not reactionary, not symbolic — these were operational shifts, the kind that tell you a country is not only paying attention to its problems but is finally choosing to solve them. As the African Diaspora saying goes, "I am because we are, and we are because I am."Join this channel to get access to perks:

⁣Midrand, South Africa – It wasn't just another day at Nizamiye Primary and High School. The school grounds became a vibrant hub of innovation, ideas, and hope. Over 185 projects from Grade 4 to Grade 10 learners lit up the Nizamiye Science Expo 2025, with one purpose: to solve real-world problems faced by South Africa and the continent.

Each corridor echoed passionately—from makeshift DNA labs to eco-brick construction demos, from human-powered energy generators to piezoelectric tiles that lit up with every footstep.

Tamil Hassan Binda showed us how extracting DNA doesn't need a lab—just household ingredients and curiosity.

Azaria and Sarah took energy to the streets (literally!) with tiles that generate power when you walk—imagine lighting up Joburg's sidewalks just by walking.

A young innovator designed a human-powered USB charger using a crank and dynamo to tackle load-shedding, proving that when Eskom goes dark, innovation shines.

A hydro-powered grid project reminded us of the untapped potential of Africa's rivers. At the same time, another team tackled heart health by analyzing how energy drinks affect the cardiovascular system and proposing natural alternatives like beetroot juice and green tea.

Another standout is eco-bricks, which are built from eggshells, plastic, and soil. They are strong, sustainable, and a brilliant solution to Africa's plastic waste crisis.

Why it matters:
This is more than a school expo. It's a vision of Africa led by its youth. These learners are not just studying science; they're applying it to transform communities, address power crises, improve public health, and rethink sustainability.
Initiatives like these spark the homegrown solutions that BRICS and Agenda 2063 champion, as the continent grapples with energy challenges, environmental threats, and youth unemployment.
Africa's future isn't waiting. It's being built—one school science expo at a time.

Dr. Kamau Rashid: What Malcolm X Still Teaches UsIn this episode of Wise The Dome TV, I sit down with Dr. Kamau Rashid to honor the revolutionary legacy of Malcolm X on the 100th anniversary of his birth. We talk about the early influences of Malcolm’s parents, the impact of Marcus Garvey’s ideology, and how that shaped Malcolm’s political consciousness.We also get into the founding of the Organization of Afro-American Unity, Malcolm’s transition out of the Nation of Islam, and his evolving internationalist vision. Dr. Rashid helps unpack Malcolm’s complex relationship with Elijah Muhammad, as well as how groups like the Black Panther Party and figures like Amiri Baraka extended Malcolm’s radical legacy.We also reflect on how mainstream scholars sometimes soften Malcolm’s politics—and why it’s important to recover and carry forward his revolutionary analysis today.
