The 4 main periods of the game

The image represents the 4 major periods of the game from -3000 years to the present day

ROOTS ( –3000 to +500 years )

This period symbolizes origins: the birth of the first great kingdoms, of knowledge, beliefs, and writing systems. It reveals the political, spiritual, and scientific foundations of many African peoples.

TRUNK ( +500 to +1200 years)

The trunk represents consolidation. Kingdoms organize themselves, develop their capitals, trade routes, armies, and knowledge systems. This is the moment when the tree strengthens and becomes structured.

BRANCHES ( 1200 to 1800 years old )

The branches evoke expansion. Kingdoms open up, exchange ideas, confront each other, and transform. Cultures intersect, arts and sciences flourish, and new alliances and conflicts emerge.

FRUITS ( 1800 to the present day)

Fruits symbolize the legacies of yesterday and the realities of today. The text addresses resistance, independence, cultural renaissances, and how these histories continue to influence the contemporary world and diasporas.
