About this listen

As you study the African myths, legends, and folklore through this guide, you will find that there are so many gods and goddesses, and so many different versions of certain stories, that it will blow your mind. The intricate myths in this book have been lined up and collected to help you understand some of the earliest, most ancient beliefs from those living on the African continent. Some have been influential in our day, and some have been completely forgotten except for vague traditions that have been passed on from one generation to the next.

Hear about the creation of the universe, plants, animals, and finally, the woman first and the man second (how ironic). You’ll find out what significance a tortoise made in one particular African myth, why and how the sex goddess was worshipped and feared, which historical and cultural facts helped the Africans believe in these things, and how some of these customs have been introduced in our modern-day culture.Begin today and find out more about these fascinating facts and myths!

Imagine picking up a book on Greek mythology and half of it talks about the country’s modern financial policy.
This is that book, only about Africa. The book spends way too much attention on the modern day influences, whereas the myths themselves are described briefly and lifelessly, almost as a justification to talk about the 20th century. If you want to know which comic book character has a myth-related tattoo or which rapper made a mix-tape about a particular hero plot, maybe it’s a good book for you. For a person who’s interested in ancient mythologies and can see the modern day influences for themselves this is as useful and enjoyable as a Wikipedia page.
The performance is a bit too quick, but overall very good.

Dry and overly focused on present day
