Legacy of Great Kingdoms
Sovereign Civilizations
A legacy of greatness runs through our veins. Before the ships, before the chains—there were kings, queens, scholars, and empires of unmatched brilliance.
- Nok Civilization (1000 BCE – 300 CE): Known for advanced iron-smelting and terracotta artistry in Nigeria.
- Kingdom of Kush (1070 BCE – 350 CE): Nubian rulers with pyramids and Pharaohs of their own.
- Carthage (814 BCE – 146 BCE): A North African maritime power that rivaled Rome.
- Aksum Empire (100 CE – 940 CE): Ethiopian empire of obelisks and early Christianity.
- Ghana Empire (300 CE – 1200 CE): West African gold trade powerhouse.
- Mali Empire (1235 – 1600 CE): Home to Mansa Musa and Timbuktu’s scholarly centers.
- Benin Kingdom (1100s – 1897 CE): Renowned for bronze casting and organized city systems.
- Kingdom of Kongo (1390 – 1914 CE): Politically advanced Central African empire.
- Zulu Kingdom (1816 – 1897 CE): Military and cultural giant founded by Shaka Zulu.
Rupert’s Valley, St. Helena
A forgotten graveyard of freedom seekers. Between 1840 and 1872, over 25,000 Africans were "liberated" from illegal slave ships by the British Royal Navy and brought to Rupert’s Valley. Many died in quarantine and were buried in unmarked graves.
In 2006, their remains were discovered during airport construction—alongside artifacts of trauma and resilience. Rupert’s Valley is now a sacred site of remembrance, evidence of lives stolen and struggles endured.
We remember them not as victims—but as ancestors.
