In this episode we look at the Democratic Republic of the Congo today, and then go back in time.  We start with prehistoric artefacts and the great Bantu migration, which pushed the Pygmies to the South and East of todays country.  We are introduced to the topography of the Country, The River Congo, the central navigable plateau, and the Mountains of the East.  We wrap up focusing at the Atlantic coast where we first meet one of the most famous precolonial African Empires - The Kingdom of the Kongo.
