The Odum of Ala Igbo
Hail Biafra!
Maybe I missed it but I didn't see anything about the Bantu Migrations
The Odum of Ala Igbo
Hail Biafra!
The Location of the Benin Empire is wrong
The Odum of Ala Igbo
Hail Biafra!
Mogadishu is included a Swahili state

The Fall of the Songhai as the "Dark Ages for West Africa"
Maybe for the Sahel. Tropical West Africa developed strong states like the Asante, Oyo, Benin, Dahomey after the fall of Songhai

The video places the rise of the Zulu in 1627. That's a bit too early since the Zulu Kingdom as we know it today was consolidated under King Shaka who was born over hundred years later

Hail Biafra!
Skips the Fulani jihads
The Mfecane of Shaka
The creation of the Afrikaner states
Muhammad Ali's reign in Egypt
etc. etc.
Perhaps it was too ambitious?

^^^^Seems like they left some stuff out then.
Also, he left out the Sao civilization around Lake Chad. I believe that culture influenced the later Kanem Empire. The romans wrote about the people in the Lake Chad area around 60 AD...this would have been around the time that the Sao was there.
And although there isn't much information about Kemit's trading partner, the Kingdom of the Yam, I believe there is growing evidence that they also were around the Lake Chad basin area (Egyptian hieroglyphs have been found in the basin area). Most maps have it below Nubia. Hieroglyphs mentioning the Kingdom of the Yam date from 2300 - 2100 BC I think. The lake Chad area certainly seems to have been involved with major powers. I wish there was more archeological studies about this area. Too bad it's unstable right now.
So the persians, the greeks and the romans tried to conquer Kush...but failed!
That said, the video was fantastic. I'm going to support his Patreon.

Ancient Egyptian wasn't Nilo-Saharan. FOH. It was an Afro-Asiatic language. Also, forgot the Last Geel paintings in Northern Somalia.
And No, Mogadishu wasn't part of the Swahili civilization. Even though, they were a dope culture. This some hotep shyt.
Respect the attempt tho

Isn't there debate on the whole Nilo-Saharan vs Afro Asiatic thing?

This is the best "what if Africa wasn't colonized" scenario I have seen so far. Alternate History Hub did a terrible job.
