The Lost Cities and Amazing Heritage of Kenya
The Lost Cities and Amazing Heritage of Kenya
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.

Very informative. It's interesting to know that there's still a lot of history of countries to study.
thank you for shearing your pictures and knowledge.
I want maps, photos, along with my lecture… I’m visual!
The name Gedi is a Somali ajuuraan suldan and is also commonly used name for man
Brilliant historical facts. Excellently educative and informative. ❤
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 …
Robin Walker is the goat
Alot Kenyans i tell them about this they tell me "stori za jaba" they dismiss it.
One of our Great teachers that is still around. Thank you for everything you do Brother!
Brilliant.
That was not Indians that is the ancients ibo tribal civilization from western Africa they were the early hunter gatherers and African civilizations
We the Bantu didn’t come from Congo as books suggest, Every old man says for example Meru came from an island near the coast where they had been enslaved for many years. A correct history needs to be done for teaching in schools. I my culture…baobab tree is considered holly and should never be cut. When a very important person passes on, locals describe the death as “A baobab tree has fallen” shows how significant baobab tree was in ancient times for my community
Yawn. Maybe look at actual civilisation?
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!
Lamu was an important city
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.
Superb lecture.
Great compilation ❤👈
Great lecture.
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.
I was fortunate enough to wander the Gede (Gedi) ruins as a teen and remember wondering why it wasn't more famous
Even somalian city of kismayu has a swahili name Kismayu= kisima-yuu..meaning 'upper well'.
Thank you for a fascinating lecture.
Somalia was never part of British East Africa which was Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania so when did Somalia become part of East Africa? Kenya is rich with ancient Islamic culture and tradation with arab dhows sailing from Arabia along the East Coast and they built the Fort in Mombasa, Kenya which is still present.
Thank you, it was so interesting to learn about the rich heritage of Kenya
Very interesting indeed
Thank you!
