Yeah, that was an accident. I found that map because I liked the colors and it accentuated the borders, but a lot of the borders were wonky and I just didn't realize it. The straight lines in that map are accurate, but a bunch of other borders are flat out wrong. The point about straight lines stands, I believe, but you're right, I should have been more careful. -B

I really enjoyed it, though the map used at around 12:30 isn't an actual map of the world, and seems to diminish the point being made about straight colonial lines. Ideally an accurate non-fantasy map would be used for future videos.

I really liked this video - I don't know why I like it more than your others (even though they are good!) But the tone was really balanced and factual. Plus, I am super clueless on Africa so this video was a must (Vikings hype though!)

If you wish I can provide resources for specific African tribes, cultures and empires but my range only covers West and Central Africa unfortunately, including books and jstor links if you need them since you mentioned wanting to do so in the video.
