- The coast of Kenya has a series of impressive medieval ruins. Amongst the monuments are tombs, grand houses, mosques, and palaces. East African archaeologists date the high point of this heritage to the 13th century. The Kenyan museums contain impressive, reconstructed artefacts that animated the urban life of these lost cities.
In this lecture, Robin Walker will present this heritage and put it in its proper place as a powerful chapter in Africa's history.

Sixteen cities are listed under Ham in Genesis 10 of the Holy Bible. We were the first to be civilized and this video manifests our ancient reality. Slowly, the lies from the West are crumbling!
If You Go To The History of East Africa ... You Can See That This Culture was So Great even During The Egyptians Times ... Africa was a Cradle of Cultures that influénced even The Universal Culture ...
I know and have visited all the Kenyan Swahili cities with my favourite being Gede. I love Jumba la Mtwana in Mtwapa especially in the evening. The Swahili are Bantu and African to the core with later Arabic influences. By the way, Vasco da Gama was navigated to Cochin in India on his first voyage by a pilot donated by the Sultan of Malindi. Something the history books and Vasco da Gama never acknowledged.
I was fortunate enough to wander the Gede (Gedi) ruins as a teen and remember wondering why it wasn't more famous
Surely I speaker knows that the Jamaicans are not all the product of an enslaved people, but rather were the indigenous inhabitants of the 'island', which included people sent to the west indies islands from the Americas - North and South - indigenous Americans with Afro phenotypes millennia before Cristobel Colon arrived there in the 15th Century
Kenya, where you can see lions
Really enjoying this so far, but the mention of chillies in 13nn food, is that a mistranslation, or did they get traded from S America earlier than previously thought?
The Mijikenda actually found the Swahili at the coast. The Mijikenda migrated with the eastern Bantu movement from central Africa and no scholar actually "believes" or would even suggest that the Mijikenda became the Swahili. That's absurd!
Zanzibar minted the first coin before the british pound ajd electricity was available on the islamd before England had any at the time.
Thank you Sir, for a fascinating and educational lecture. It’s such a travesty that there was ever anyone who thought ancient African monuments couldn’t have been built by the local cultures - much worse that those thoughts still exist.
Thank you, professor.
