1:38 there are 2 species of rice, orya sativa from China and oryza glabirrema from West Africa, both species were domesticated thousands of years ago indepently of each other.
During the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade era Europeans found vast fields of rice under cultivation in West Africa and took several strains and experienced growers to their colonies in the Americas. One African strain became known as Carolina Gold and was a major staple crop in the South and the majority rice type grown in the US for a couple centuries.

It’s wild how the river starts but a short distance from the sea, but it instead goes the long way around.

Its 1:11 and I have school early in the morning. Im watching a video about a river that is completely irrelevant to my existence, a river which exists several thousand miles away from me. This feels right.

Guinea we should be able to supplies electricity to our neighbouring countries because we have so many rivers head (waterfalls)from Guinea. Unfortunately 90% of the country is in darkness.

It's amazing how Niger River flows inward instead of just going west directly into the sea

The cities mentioned were major centres for gold , ivory and above the slave trade both towards the coast. From the earliest times  until early 20th century northwards towards the Middle East  and  between 1500 and  the early 1800's towards the coast and European buyers.
