Come history hunting in Africa with Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters as the series continues to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments. Africa is a massive continent with more than 50 countries and hundreds of unique tribes, each with their own customs. Today, the History Hunters must complete two African inspired challenges: discover how nomadic tribes left messages for each other using egg-notes and chalk made from eggshells, and when their dog runs off during a walk in the park, the hunters must think like the San bushmen and use the natural environment and their senses to track him down. Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne work out which clothes are cooler in the hot African desert, black or white, and they discover masks designed to tell a story without words. Show less
