3 Amazing Forgotten Ancient Empires
A lost kingdom almost as elusive as Atlantis but mentioned in ancient Egyptian inscriptions ... A land that was ruled by Egypt and eventually ruled Egypt itself ... and a great African empire home to myths, legends and a relic some claim is the Ark of the Covenant.
Lovers of ancient history, it's worth looking into the Kingdom of Yam, the Kingdom of Kush and the Aksumite Empire. Thanks for watching! I hope this introduction to some often-overlooked ancient cultures inspires your own research and reading.
