Samael's Podcast
Welcome to Samael, a daily research-intensive podcast series that conducts an "intellectual archaeology" of the Horn of Africa by synthesizing diverse disciplines such as genetics, linguistics, and mythology. The publication moves beyond traditional nationalist narratives to explore the deep-seated identities of Ethiopia and its neighbors, utilizing sources ranging from Ge’ez and Sabaean texts to modern DNA haplogroup data. By examining a wide array of topics—including Aksumite statecraft, Cushitic cosmologies, and medieval hydro-diplomacy—Arcielss reclaims lost narratives and positions the region as a central hub of civilizational innovation rather than a historical periphery. www.samael.ink
Great Zimbabwe: The Lost African Kingdom of Stone — Fexingo History
Fexingo
Perched on a windswept plateau in southern Africa, Great Zimbabwe stands as the continent's most monumental pre-colonial stone city — a testament to the ingenuity of the Shona civilization that built it between the 11th and 15th centuries. This show, hosted by Lucas and Luna, delves into the rise of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe, from its origins as a modest ironworking settlement to its zenith as a trading power whose gold and ivory reached as far as China and Persia. We explore the architectural marvel of the Great Enclosure, with its dry-stone walls rising 11 meters high, and the enigmatic soapstone birds that have become the nation's emblem. We confront the colonial erasure of African civilization: how Portuguese explorers and later Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company dismissed Great Zimbabwe as the work of Phoenicians or Arabs, a racist fiction that persisted into the 20th century. Through archaeology, oral traditions, and recent DNA studies, we piece together the kingdom's court
