Judging by the routes alone, I'd guess these expeditions were planned with considerable skill.

I can't even imagine being a semi-literate Italian and just walking so far south through a desert that you find the savannah..... Let alone the obscenely dense jungle in the sub-saharan tropics of Africa near Lake Chad.

Very exciting! On a related note, I'd love to see you do a video on the settlement of the Canary Islands someday, if that interests you. I did some barebones research backalong and it's quite a fascinating topic with links to the Roman encroachment into the Atlantic Coast of North-West Africa, as well as likely links with Carthage.

Shows some actual history that may have partly inspired a bit in the "Destroyermen" book series by Taylor Anderson. (Spoilers ahead) In the series set on an alternate Earth that seems to be a random dimensional "desert island" a "Republic of Real People" was established in southern Africa which has a mix of many different Earthling "castaways". One of the cultural influences on this civilization was a lost Roman expedition that was heading south through their Africa...apparently in their tenth century.
