If you have never delved into African history and culture on the continent, it makes for interesting study. There were empires and kingdoms that rivaled the Incas, Aztecs and even the Egyptians in interior sections of the continent.

I wonder if they would be considered giant by todays standards, think of the NBA. Perhaps just a tall tale?

It's like looking at an old family photo of the Tutsis and Hutus of today. Did the Brits put the Tutsis on top because of this video or did they film the video because they put the Tutsis on top?
