Professor Nick Zeller (me) gives a survey history of the major kingdoms in Sub-Saharan Africa before 1500 CE: Ghana, Mali, Kilwa, & the Great Zimbabwe. These kingdoms are all linked to Indian Ocean trade, the spreading power of the Mamluk Sultanate, and its impacts in northern India, so I touch on those as well.

This video is based on my Pre-Modern World History course at Kennesaw State University.

I don't make any money putting these on YouTube. Just the regular university salary I'd get either way.
