Fall asleep while I bust 13 historical myths that have misled history.

Explore thirteen legends across Africa and the Americas, from Great Zimbabwe’s builders, Timbuktu’s manuscripts, Mansa Musa’s wealth, and Benin’s metalworkers to the Atlantic slave trade’s true geography. Revisit Maya time, distinct civilizations, Olmec portraits, cacao drinks, and the ballgame. Then travel to Sudan’s pyramids, coffee’s goat legend, and the Queen of Sheba. A spoken countdown follows objects and living communities, separating documented achievements from stories placed over them.
