    Season 6 Episode 5: Make Way for Prince Ali - The Mysterious Kilwa Chronicle

    It seems unlikely that he had 75 golden camels, but it's hard to say much else about Prince Ali of Shiraz.

    Season 6 Episode 1: The Swahili Coast

    Despite being the most widely spoken African language on Earth, KiSwahili originates from a people who are shockingly small in number. However, what the Swahili lacked in numbers, they made up for in influence and fascination. Join us for our sixth season, as we dive into the history of the Swahili coast, and the fascinating history of how its residents became adept city-builders, advanced maritime navigators, sly traders, and the masters of many fascinating civilizations. This includes the greatest Swahili civilization of them all, the Sultanate of Kilwa.
