1: Introduction to Prehistoric Central Africa, the Congo, the Bantu Migration and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

In this episode we look at the Democratic Republic of the Congo
today, and then go back in time.  We start with prehistoric
artefacts and the great Bantu migration, which pushed the Pygmies
to the South and East of todays country.  We are introduced to
the topography of the Country, The River Congo, the central
navigable plateau, and the Mountains of the East.  We wrap up
focusing at the Atlantic coast where we first meet one of the most
famous precolonial African Empires - The Kingdom of the
Kongo.
