I'm pretty unimpressed by them, especially the ones on the left side of the continent rather than the right side. Axum is the one I think was most interesting, but that was on the right side of the continent.
Leaving aside how exaggerated the Mansa Musa tales might be, his kingdom didn't leave behind much in the way of art, architecture, philosophy, long-term influence, etc.
Some people 100 years ago took it a little far by arguing that Great Zimbabwe was made by Phoenicians, but actually I'm not very impressed by Great Zimbabwe, which is basically a version of Stonehedge (which itself is an overrated pile of rocks) that was made about 5,000 years after Stonehedge.

What made the desert stop where it does? Is there a river or something?

Weather patterns. In Roman times the Sahara region was much wetter and had wildlife such as elephants.

That desert was left behind when the Elohim nuked that area after some humans killed them some Elohim. They were pissed.
Which is why the background radiation is still very high there and there is an odd glass found in region.
ETA: It is no coincidence that everyone is now dead that was chasing Rommel there.

What makes any desert stop where it does? Couldn't you ask the same question about the Mojave Desert or something?

They say that humans sprang up and evolved in sub-Saharan Africa and then dispersed to the ends of the earth.

I am not impressed with your post

Pretty good podcast that addresses the geographical limitations of the region which are exacerbated by the relatively low natural resources.
Even the European colonists declined to develop significant infrastructure into the central continent due to a poor roi and logistics issues.
Without a natural network of waterways or a significant investment in logistic avenues, it's hard to drive the growth and development like is found elsewhere.
