Hello everybody, and hi Jabari! Sword of Africa directed me to this forum, so here I am. I just liked to say I enjoy the From Nothing Youtube channel. It's refreshing to see that kind of playful, yet serious content.
Anyway, I've been active on the Wildfire Games forum (the guys from 0 A.D., Empires Ascendant) since late 2016, as the lead researcher behind our latest playable civilization: The Kingdom of Kush. 0 A.D. is a free and open-source, cross-platform, Real Time Strategy game, aiming for historical accuracy, set in the time from 500 BC to 1 BC.
I wrote an updated and comprehensively illustrated article outlining the History of Kush, and this article contains the largest collection of high quality and relevant reference images of Archaeological sites, artefacts, reliefs, historical reconstructions and art available on the internet, as well as providing a full run-down of the history.
Kushites kind of re-write African history... The lost cornerstone. Considering that the Kingdom Kush is essentially the earliest chapter in black civilization, I thought it would interesting for you guys to check out. The material in the article would make one heck of a video ;)

Thanks! I'm not familiar with discord so I don't really understand everything yet... I'll give it another shot soon. Greetings
This is amazing. I'll be sure to check it out. I noticed you joined the discord earlier but you didn't hit the "-agree" command for the bot to allow you to talk in other channels.
