Ghana Empire and Koumbi Saleh | Calm History for Sleep | 5 Hours

Explore the Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadu, and Koumbi Saleh in this calm history episode for sleep and relaxation. Journey through the trade, cities and daily life of West Africa. This episode uses Al-Bakri's 1068 Book of Highways and Kingdoms alongside excavations at Koumbi Saleh and Tegdaoust (Aoudaghost) to reconstruct court life, silent trade traditions, and stone houses. Across twelve full-length chapters covering Africa, we explore what happened, why it happened, what everyday life felt.
