If you are in the UK or are familiar with the software you need to watch the BBC from abroad I strongly recommend you watch the BBC’s new series on ancient African Kingdoms.
Tonight’s episode on BBC 4 looks at the Zulu in South Africa, following the Asante in West Africa in the first episode.
I really enjoyed the first series, which covered the Nubian Kingdom in Sudan as well as looking at civilisations in Ethiopia, South Africa, Niger and Mali.
Pyramids and Africa normally conjure images of the great pyramids of Giza in Egypt. But as many Sudanese are keen to tell you there are in fact more pyramids in Sudan than its famous neighbour to the north.
Sudan may have a little way to go to match Egypt as a tourist destination but it has just as much to offer in terms of its intriguing ancient history as a new BBC documentary Lost Kingdoms of Africa discovers.
