How many ancestors do you have? Well, you have two parents, four grandparents, and eight great-grandparents. As you trace back your direct ancestors through the generations, the numbers grow exponentially. Four generations back, you find yourself with 30 direct ancestors. However, if you were to continue this lineage doubling with each generation, just 40 generations ago, you'd theoretically have a trillion ancestors all living simultaneously. That's an absurd number, exceeding the total number of people who have ever lived and even surpassing the number of stars in the Milky Way, now think of it,how does that sound?

The Aksumites
The African continent is renowned for its vastness, diverse cultures, peoples, languages, and rich history. As one of the oldest inhabited regions, Africa has witnessed numerous migratory waves and the rise and fall of powerful kingdoms and empires. However, it is important to note that the concepts of "empire" and "kingdom" may not fully account for the political-military phenomena that existed in Africa. Therefore, the use of these terms must be understood as conventions, and some specialist historians in Africa have already adopted alternative concepts such as "centralized unit" and "political-military unit". In this video, we explore the history of the Axumite Empire, an African kingdom that left a significant mark on history.
