Hello there, it's been a while! Welcome to the description. Here you'll find most of the information related to this video that you may want to know. If you're curious about something or simply have something to say, feel free to comment! I'll definitely see it and probably respond seeing as my channel isn't big enough for that to be an issue.

Very cool stuff. Kilwa has always been fascinating to me. This massive civilization full of cities built of coral. Apparently some Kilwa coins have been discovered in Australia as well but it's not known exactly how they got there. Thank you so much for being a part of this collaboration!
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it! It has been an excellent learning experience!
I remember being taught about Kilwa in 7th grade history, but it was all extremely vague. Thanks for this, and may I say you have excellent production value for such a small channel!
I've rarely been taught anything about African history so researching for this video has been a blast. Also thank you, I work hard on my editing so that means a lot!
Nice editing with the map zoom ins, background music, etc.!
Thank you!
@@schrodingersmoose You're welcome!
Great video! I appreciate how you got into the Historiography, that was something I wanted to touch on with regards to my own topic in my video, but the script was ending up too long so I was only able to include a few brief mentions of conflicting accounts. I'm glad you could be a part of this project!
Thank you! While researching I kept running into the interesting historiography rather than the history, which is also interesting in its own right. I found it interesting and assumed others would too.
Really interesting. I studied archaeology at uni and have spent quite a bit of time travelling in Tanzania and yet I've never heard of Kilwa! Thanks for sharing.
Came to your channel for frankish history, stayed for African history. Great video!
What a great video! The Swahili civilizations are fascinating
They absolutely are! such an interesting and unique culture
What an interesting place, can’t wait to watch this, this place always seems to be on the outside of the larger old world
Exactly! It's fascinating!
Woo!!
Nice video! Speaking of Mafia Island that name always reminds me of Mafia Town in the game A Hat in Time which is an Island filled with Mafia guys in the game. Though I'm pretty sure that's not the case for the real Mafia Island 😋
I guess you could say that Sicily is the unofficial second Mafia Island 😆
@@schrodingersmoose Indeed LOL XD
Great video!!!
This was very informative! Great video!
Thank you! I work hard to make sure my videos are as accurate as possible!
+15% yields for being suzerain of a city state and an additional +30% on all your cities for being suzerain of two is nothing to scoff at, after all.
There's so much to learn! Thank you for sharing this!
I've really just scratched the surface, I'm tempted to make another video to add details but I put the sources down for a reason and there are other cool stories to cover. I'm glad you liked it!
Fascinating, if only we had far more detail about Kilwa and ancient subsaharan Africa in general
Bro you should have like 100x more subs this is such quality content
I'm glad you think so! Thank you!
Netflix hates history content but he will grow
Proud of the persian kilwa sultanate 🇮🇷
yes Also Shiite dynasty
@@SHIITE-IRAQI The Kilwa Sultanate was predominantly Sunni Muslim, following the Shafi'i school of thought.
