- In this episode Zeinab Badawi travels to the country of her birth and the very region of her forefathers and mothers: northern Sudan where she sheds light on this little-known aspect of ancient African history, the great Kingdom of Kush.
Its kings ruled for many hundreds of years and indeed in the eighth century BC they conquered and governed Egypt for the best part of 100 years. Furthermore, Kush was an African superpower. Its influence extended to the modern day Middle East.
Zeinab visits the best preserved of Sudan’s one thousand pyramids and shows how some of the ancient customs of Kush have endured to this day.

Proud Sudanese, when I try explaining to people the rich history of Sudan, people often think we are copying Egypt or try to be Egyptians when in fact we are neighbours and share a a very deep and rich history...
When infact the Pharoahs originated from Nubia (Upper Egypt and Sudan. Infact, the Kushite Pharoahs predate the Egyptian Pharoahs, and the ancient Egyptians were related to Kushites.

And I agree with you and am a life-long fan of Ancient Multicultural History with much love towards North and Western Africa.
You can't help but become enraged when you realize how much Europeans destroyed and stole from Africa's history and then replaced it with their own. The idea that some claimed that Africa had no history is absurd. What an incredible documentary, very well done.
Because they’ve always been jealous
It was an American that discovered this site what are you talkin about you wouldn't even know about it
But Ethiopia is never colonised bro Italians tried twice and failed twice our ancestors were brave and gave us the free land
It literally angers me.
Black cannanite Moors gave this culture to Japhet, Moors hated his brother cush cause he didn't send help when Joshua ran them out the Holy land. They first gave their knowledge to the Greeks.
I’m African-American but my uncles and my mother made it a purpose for me to learn about ancient African dynasties from the time I was very young .I remember longing to visit Egypt and Kush my whole life. I was able to visit Egypt but hopefully soon I’ll be able to go to the Sudan very soon

African Americans came from West Africa. When do you plan on visiting there to see the ruins from the Kingdoms your kin may have actually been part of? When's your trip to Timbuktu? Egypt was primarily a kingdom of arab looking people who distinguished themselves from the black Nubians and near white Libyans next door. The closest ancestor to ancient mummies they've tested is current Egyptians, and the second are the Caucasian looking Arabs of the Levant.
@@krystalccameron7689 Afro-Americans have admixtures from other parts of the African continent, not just Western Africa, some have admixtures from Central, Eastern and Southern parts of Africa like places such as Tanzania, Kenya, and Congo (which converted to Christianity in the 15th century and had strong ties with the Catholic Church in Rome). Do you keep the same energy when European Americans whose ancestry is primarily from Northern/Western Europe when they're planning their trip to Athens or Rome? No? So why the double standards? Also, Libyans and Arabs aren't Caucasian nor are they white, white people are exclusively of European descent, and Arabs and Europeans aren't of European descent, and there are black Libyans, look up the Toubou people of Libya, also, the oldest mummy discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Libya was a black mummy which is 5600 years old and predates most of the mummies discovered in Egypt, the name of the mummy is "Uan Muhuggiag" and TImeline did a documentary about the Uan Muhuggiag mummy and uploaded it here in TH-cam which you could check out. Caucasians are only native to the Caucasus mountains and no where else. Skeletal remains from Southern Egypt of the Skulls of the sites of Nabta Playa and Gebel Ramlah has concluded that they're mostly closely related to Sub-Saharan Africans: "Analysis of human remains by Fred Wendorf and reported in "Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian Sahara", based on osteological data suggests s Sub-Saharan African origin for the site's inhabitants. A dental and skeletal anaylsis by Joel D. Irish also tentatively suggests a mainly Sub-Saharan African affinity for the origin for Nabta Playa''s inhabitants (with Sub-Saharan tendencies most commonly detected), but also possible North African tendencies in some, concluding that "Henneberg et al. suggest that Nabta Playa people may have been most similar to Negros south of the Sahara, the present qualitative dental comparison tentatively supports this conclusion." Some researchers including Christopher Ehret, have suggested a Nilo-Saharan linguistic affinity for the Nabta people."-Wikipedia
@@krystalccameron7689
"The Zink Unit determined that the mummy of an unknown man buried with Ramesses was, because of the proven genetic relationship and a mummification process that suggested punishment, a good candidate for the pharaoh's son, Pentaweret, who was the only son to revolt against his father. It was impossible to determine the cause of his death. Both mummies were predicted by Whit Athey's STR-Predictor to share the Y Chromosomal haplogroup E1b1a1-M2 and 50% of their genetic material, which pointed to a father-son relationship. In 2022, S.O.Y. Keita commented that analysis of the Shor Tendem Report (STR) data published on Rameses III and the Armana Royal mummies which included Tutankhamun showed "a majority to have an affinity with 'Sub-Saharan" Africans in one affinity analysis". Although, he cautioned that this does not mean that the royal mummies "lacked other affilations" which he argued had been obsecured in typological thinking. Keita further added that different "data and algorithms might give different results" which reflected the complexity of biological heritage and the associated interpretation." - Wikipedia
Also, look at the mummy of Maiherpri. As for that 2017 study.
"The researchers cautioned that the examined ancient Egyptian speciemens may not be representative of those of all ancient Egyptians since they were from a single archaeological site from the northern part of Egypt" - Wikipedia. Which means, the skeletal remains from Southern Egypt would have been much closer related to Sub-Saharan Africans than the ones in Northen Egypt which I've proved earlier in my previous comment. Also, "The absolute estimates of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in these three ancient Egyptian individuals ranged from 6% to 15%" So in conclusion ancient Egypt was most likely multi ethnic, which makes sense since Egypt has been conquered by sevral different empires throughout its history, and Egypt is a crossroads between Africa and the Near East.
@@krystalccameron7689 The DNA study of Ramses III that I've posted in my previous comment that I've quoted from Wikipedia has been done in 2012 by the way, In case you don't know.

Their so called forefather was an Iraqi (Avram). They were starving and came to Egypt for food. The one lie in this video is that the Kushites only ruled Egypt for 100 years and that gives the impression that They were different than the Egyptians. This is nonsense. Egyptians were genetically more closely related to Kushites in Sudan than the Arabs that currently reside there. Kufu was the first king of Egypt and a black African man. This is irrefutable.

Let me tell you something what that mean sudan.the word sudan came from arabic language,many form in arabic grammar sudan mean black people, it does'nt mean people who live in sudan,all black people in the world can be sudanean or sudani,all same thing ethiopia in ancient time ethiopia was one of first name of the continet long time a go before the name africa,that mean all black was called ethiopia or ethiopaen
@@benicdovic5071 what are you talking about? This is sudan culture 😒
Sudan was known in its ancient history by several names such as Taseti, Tanhasu and Ethiopia, but among the most famous and most comprehensive is the name of Kush ( KUSH ).😒😊
The Kushite 25th dynasty of ancient Egypt is an extremely interesting era and is very underrated. It deserves more recognition and respect 😁
True, there was suppose to be a movie about the life of King Taharqa who was the ruler of the 25th Dynasty which I think it got cancelled.
Nubian history is not just limited to the 25th dynasty. We have Ta-seti the first civilization to appear.
@@darkzi1431 True, but even further then that, such as the Nabta Playa all the way to the collapsed of the last Nubian kingdom called Alodia, which has been overlooked, but the 25th dynasty was definitely a golden age in Nubian history.
Yes, the history will not begin from here and people do not know how many civilization in Sudan and Egypt return to the Nobine and Nuba All families return to Kushin for your Egyptians who destroy the Nubian civilization they have hatred and clarity Because Copts are Gold Europe

Sudan had very many pyramids, most were destroyed by the colonisers in a bid to make people believe that blacks couldn't have such knowledge. Egypt was spared due to the fact that it was then inhabited by the arabs that had entered the country because of trade..The original inhabitants (black) were attacked and forced to flee their lands. Good thing they painted themselves on the walls, otherwise, our heritage would have disappeared completely.

My Last Name is Kush, an Original Sudanese currently from "South Sudan" and as a Kushite, as far as I know some information about my history down to approximately 13000 years. The Kingdom of Kush is not only Northern Sudan but comprised more than just all Nile river countries including Egypt, Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Congo, Chat and Rwanda and Tanzania.

Aye my family is Ugandan. Uganda, Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Zambia were apart of the Kitara Empire (aka Chwezi Empire or Songora Empire) We were allies but not the same Empire. Though there is a chance Kushites ruled Kitara as we have had a fair share of fighting.

HOW DO YOU LEARN FROM IT IF IT IS DESTROYED YOU DUMB FUCK. SOUTH AFRICA WAS LITERALLY MADE BY WHITE PEOPLE, MR LOVES HISTORY. FFS.
Truly, the western governance system in Africa has destroyed all its glories. This was so beautiful.
I’m white British but it really does surprise me why African history isn’t taught in certain African countries there were hundreds of ancient African empires it give people a sense of pride I suppose, a people without history is like a tree without roots
Technically it's the northern governance, europeans were In africa before they were in the west. But why bother blaming the west when we can just blame all white people?
Well, if we should generalised it all to one whole bunch, then everything runs down from slavery to colonialism and ultimately neocolonialism which influences and interferes in the African bureaucratic systems.
I believe all these were possible due to some cleverly programmed global institutions that serves as an impediment for African countries to give away their glories that had always dignified and protected us in exchange of getting in return from those institutions what they need for our various national developments.
It's a pity but Africa have been tightly scolded and suffocated from a very long time and had no other alternatives than to give in to the so called global orders to be able to survive.

@@rustymeatball9243 colonization suppression of past heritage by not allowing slaves to speak there own language and share knowledge, supremacy suppression of reading material to certain races. Western monitoring of sacred archeological sites. For example if you find something thats in a jurisdiction of Western like the 80 k artifacts of the black aboriginies Americans must be rendered to the Smithsonian who in return takes them to Rome to be locked in the Vatican Catholic storage of black history, this is why Americans think Egyptian are white, you supress knowledge then give them his story as history.
Africa is blessed with a rich culture. Extremely proud of this content. This should be taught in schools especially in Africa.
I think Sudanese people are the most gorgeous people on the planet, they have gorgeous features and they are tall and slim. Iman is just one example of how beautiful they are. I work in a museum in England and we have artifacts from the kingdom of Kush so want to learn more.
No, they are mixed in sizes. Isn’t Iman Somalian?
As an unabashed European, I'm glad that this series was produced by the BBC. It shows that the non-European part of British Society has reached a density that means it's needs MUST be met. That's wonderful all by itself.
Also, it allows us, as Europeans to discover what was hidden from us by our ancestors and marvel at what Africa once was and where it could be again.
Is this perfect and free from any wrong information, no not at all, but then again, no-one ever got a PhD in The History of African Civilisation by only watching one TV documentary.
But now I want to know more and will do my own research, I can only hope others do the same, regardless of their ethnicity.
What an idiotic statement. How did Europeans hide Sudanese history from you? It is Europeans that discovered all of this history through archeology and specifically Egyptology, and then conveyed it through the modern medium of television and documentary, all European inventions.
Europeans such as yourself, that celebrate the "density" of foreigners in your country, while hating your own people to gain cheap morality points from the very same people who invade your land and hate you, are a disgrace.
Kush deeply rooted in our hearts and we always proud of being Nobian. The Reiver Nile and its palm gurds are witnessing the great civilization of Kuch, which will remins inside every Nobian for ever.
Um...you do know that your region is named after another place's name for goldfield?

abook tailor yes and jesus hid among these people, so that he would not be found as a baby. It would have been impossible if he looked white, like those pictures in the churches.
So true. I encourage my people to use this time wisely. We can't afford to remain the same or draw back.
As a matter of fact, Zeinab Badawi is Sudanese-British. Would be how Cleopatra or Nefertiti looked like.
After looking at her really careful. Now, of course, they had all types of different shades.
Lol
Amazing it's shows how Africa and especially Sudans have a huge history with a remarkable civilization and they was wealth and powerful but sadly ended and still there is Sudanese have same tools like the vessel of water cold (zeer) also like the in ceremony the ladies wore a gold in their hands and drew nicely . I love you my sudan and i hope you recover and arousal
28:14 Those words by Piankhi are badass..i got goosebumps reading that quote..and his comparision to Atum , man ! Wow
Dafufa what a name Africa is great it’s been greatest continent in the world 🌎
Mike 101 Sport No, because its rich soil, history, culture, traditions and much more. Not just because of the documentary.
@@mikew1591 who is over romanticizing? Dude get out of here lol you sound really stupid. You're over romanticizing the lack of unity.
And forever will be
Mike 101 Sport Then stay the f out
Hey wadup Koolaid drinkers!
I'm am sitting here amazed I knew some of this but to actually see just how prestigious the true people of Sudan were is beyond awesome.
Great history. Great education, teaches us that America and the world profited and got rich off our backs and our resources. I am a sister from 🇹🇹 Trinidad with ancestry from Somalia Nigeria & Kenya We are a strong people. Big up. God bless.
I have a Jamaican background, but my DNA test results show ancestry from Somalia and Sudan as well as West African. My cousin's DNA shows 9% Kenyan ancestry from her dad's side. Those people who say black people from the Americas are not linked to East Africa are talking rubbish.
@@browneyedgirl4268
That doesn't mean they were enslaved
Like west africans .
like we know in Jamaica there are Pakistanis indians and Kenyans which were enslaved somali dna may come from kenyan individual what's the percentage if you Don't mind
When others people write your history for you, they deform it like they try to do in Egyptology. But when you write it by your own, you discover all the wisdoms and brightness in you, through the past of your people, which help you to live in the today's world with pride and without any complex or fear and you are able to embrace the future with optimism.
Great work Zeineb, I much like Africa’s story being told by Africans.
African? Sounds British to me
im so happy i found this documentary series! Its very refreshing to hear of african history from local historians rather than old british
What an amazing documentary! Well done BBC for presenting history in a non biased and non westernized presentation. The world needs to allow Africans to tell their history and stop the theft of African history in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and all throughout Africa.
We need more of this , to let the whole world knows what Sudan is .
"The sun has set on the Golden age of the Kushites" damn that hit hard. We shall rise again in'sha'Allah. Viva la Nubia,Kush,north Sudan 🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩
@@FatimaAhmed-tf2fv I am Muslim. Bani Israel did go to modern day Palestine. Musa with the aid of Allah parted the red sea no the Nile river
@@darkzi1431 Damn, would of been such a great area to live in that period.
@@darkzi1431 The 25th Dynasty is highly underrated and it needs more recognition in my opinion.
It’s really interesting how Sudan shares a lot in common with Egypt. Learning something new every time I watch this series. I wished they mentioned a little about the other tribes like the Neur in South Sudan.
Sudan or sudanese mean black in arabic language,that mean every black person is sudanese, and sudanese or sudan are not tribe or race,the persent sudanese came from around continent there is some tribes as native for that land ,now north sudan chang already becasus they mix with another white people from egypt sriay,lebenanes
@@benicdovic5071 of course there are many tribes in both The Sudan & South Sudan. Same thing like in my country Kenya. We have 44 tribes and some have intermarried with Arabs from Persia(Iran) or Oman thus the swahili tribe. That's a great point though. I didn't know they intermarried with Labanese or Syrians, but they are not necessarily white or do you mean Arabic?
@@FatimaAhmed-tf2fv True
you mean nubia
@@7mo32 Yes Nubians as well.
Thank you Zeinub for the wonderful work much love from South African ❤️
Finally..told by an intelligent beautiful woman, the history of her people. Kush
Finally? Did you know about this but keep it a secret for her?
So thankful we have one of our own to tell our stories. Never allow the people who enslave you to be your teachers. The truth is coming out all over the worid.
She isn't African. don't you see what she is trying to tell us? She is giving African history to arabs-to the people she is from.
@@danielm.5845 you are right most of sudanese if not all consider themselves muslim arab nation and better than africans while African are happy of Sudan history because they think that they belong to them 😂😂😂😂😂
@@イタチウチハ-v3z
As a person who lived most his life there, I'd say most of them consider themselves more African than Arabs.
Yes they are Muslims and because of that their cultures and values are closer to that of Arabs than Africans, but genetically they are mostly African.
@Sheldon Earthstein Eastern europe is not Palestine!!!
@@danielm.5845Eastern europe is not Palestine!!!
Amazing black history ❤🖤💚 ✊🏾✊🏾
Abby94 it’s African history .. not black history ... just as their are documentaries about European history, American history... “white history” would be considered racist so why talk about black history??
@@mikew1591 black history 💪🏿 fuck
@@mikew1591 is African history not black history or what the fuck are u talking about?
We know European history is white history
@Mohammed Bapalori Ninya
I am very sur,
Black Black Black
problem ?
@Mohammed Bapalori Ninya it is black history dumb ass what you think those periods were build by arabs or white people? Bitch please 😂😂😂
Good to finally see more documentaries being made about these proud, confident and self determining African empires of old. There's a narrow focus on colonial history in academia especially south of the Sahara.While it's important to always remember and learn from it, the bias towards that period, overshadows the incredible and captivating history of precolonial Africa. A period that should be taught to our young to inspire them to believe that great things can be done in this continent.
This is the Greatest Of All Times Documentaries. For the lovers of history, a combination of these episodes and Cheikh Anta Diop's book, African Origin of Civilization will give you a deep insight of our rich heritage. Much love from Kenya🇰🇪
Hello Zeinab Badwi. I am actually happy with your beautiful discovering today, in your original homeland. I am from Sudan as well, and I'm profoundly proud to be from Sudan, thank you very much indeed for your wonderful expressions!
Refreshing to see an African telling the story of Africa..
@BLUE DOG You're stupid, dude.
@BLUE DOG The same Arabs aren't helping their Syrian brethren escape the human cesspool the Middle East has been for decades.
@BLUE DOG Arabs never enslaved East Africans. They have been under Ethiopian rule at some point in history, while the same Arabs deliberately spread progress in rat infested Northwestern Europe. You need to be thankful the Roman empire brought you people civilization and you have the audacity to portray them in movies as some nomadic Germanic speaking tribe from Rhineland. There was NO advanced European civilization prior to darker skinned Mediterranean's effort to get you out of backwardness.
@BLUE DOG Name any ancient European philosopher who wasn't Mediterranean.
@BLUE DOG How many modern day Greeks look like those carved statues? You have been letting Northern Europeans portray themselves as the real Ancient Greeks in movies while they refer to you as "Greasy whites."
Beautiful and deep history. It should be shown in all schools across the continent. Love from Ghana to mama Africa. Africa we love
This is my culture and history. ❤️

Kadaar report tv stop spreading BS since when was Kenya and Uganda was part of the kush empire???
I've got chills and sometimes tears. That felt like a journey back to ancient times where my ancestors lived! .. Thank you so much that was beyond amazing history lesson
She put herself,her mind,her soul and her pride to explain the history of motherland with dignity and with evidence.
Thank you so much my dear.
I'm from Haiti and I'm very happy the way she takes time to explain everything to us.
Thanks Zeinab and the BBC for this amazing series. I've searched everywhere for this information over the past 10 years. This is amazing
I love the narrator, she has a soothing voice.
It’s really good to hear the history from people of African heritage.
It amazes me how you people live in the west, entirely surrounded by whites and their inventions, and act like victims because it is white people who create the documentaries and content. Even worse, it is whites who invented television, film, documentaries, videography etc. and white people who discovered most of this history which was lost to time, using archeology etc.
You people should be on your knees weeping with gratitude, instead you act like victims.
Thank you so very much for this excellent video. Viewing it allowed me to come to the realization of the History that was never taught to me as an African American attending public school systems here in the USA.
Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity to open our hearts and minds to " OUR HISTORY " !!! 😘😘😘
Did you know Zeinab Badawi is 60 years old?! Doesn't she look amazing?!! I remember her from when my dad would watch the news
I miss Khartoum, brings back childhood memories
we miss our People in South too
it is your home too
never let anyone tell you otherwise
We are one sister i miss juba so much..
I'm originally from Angola 🇦🇴 but unfortunately because civil war , me and my family went to Portugal,i was 3 years old,i love to learn more about Africa history especially about Kush, Ethiopia etc .
Jah bouks Angola. Reggae. Luanda I Jah rastafari praises Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🏜️🌍🇪🇹🌛🌵🌜🇯🇲🇸🇪🇬🇧🇮🇱🇿🇦🌍🇪🇹🇪🇹🍄🍄🍄
I'm African American and I think Angolan's make great music
Im a south Sudanese I'm proud when my parents told me this history orally, the tallest tribe on the planet today🎉
Zeinab Badawi the adorable Sudanese lady. I am incredibly fascinated by your outstandingly exquisite voice. Sometimes I only click on anyone of your videos just to listen to your voice. I like the moment you articulate an arabic expression within the video. The way you speak the Sudanese dialect is so funny and makes me laugh.
I found the history of Kush and Sudan enlighting.As an African American,I thirst for knowledge of the Mother Continent.😍
Unfortunately, the report has a lot of fallacies.. And he doesn't carry the truth. We only see a report from a museum director who has nothing to do with nubianism.
@@al_gosey
mind your own fallacies...
Thank you Zeinab for such beautiful reporting. You have always been a good Journalist for the BBC. I remember you a pretty young lady when you joined BBC. I was living in England and always watched the News Cast. It is nice to know that i can see you again doing what you know best. All the best. Be safe.
Really an amazing history.
Love and respect for great Civilization of Nile from Pakistan 🇵🇰 (land of Indus Valley civilization).
Both of countries 🇸🇩and 🇵🇰 share a lot of cultural similarities.

Amazing! Thank you because we don’t hear enough of this part of African history with such quality
the entire series with numerous episodes is educationally fantastic and needs to be viewed particularly by black people around the globe!
Outstanding! She solved the mystery of the Kushite Kingdoms of Africa.
When the SAHARA started to dry out,BLACK AFRICANS living there, moved and settled near the river banks of NILE where life was favorable.Due to unpredictable nature of river NILE they started to worship different gods for help and started PYRAMID building.So successful, they expanded SOUTHWARDS con coring more lands along the NILE into today SUDAN.Due to increased distance they were divided, which led to KUSH lands and EGYPT land but they were the same people,the BLACK people.KUSH built with bricks due to lack of granite stone like in EGYPT.Due to connection of land between Egypt and Israel,ARABS from those land attacked NORTHER EGYPT and that's why later the KUSH came to there rescue,to liberate them,but as things would turn out they were overcome and that why we have ARABS in EGYPT today
@Memphis Atrees Girgis EGYPTIC
WHAT is olive tone!?
Pale with green veins?
Yep. That just about sums it up.
@G L O C K Actually the Sahara was green as early as 5000 years ago. You're off the mark by 45,000 years, you racist air head.
That's definitely not true. Egyptians didn't move South to Sudan. They just colonzied part of Sudan/Nubia.
Black Africans? Are their Pale
Face Africans? Mexican Africans? Chinese Africans? All Africans are so called Black. Come in various forms of brown and black. Just like an modern day so called black families worldwide. Oxymoronic to state such hypocrisy.!!!!!!
Wonderful documentary, wonderfully done by the presenter. I enjoyed every episode
Glad you enjoyed it!
Afrika and Afrikan people will regain their greatness, the last will once again become the first, as Afrikans study and research we will find that our greatness is like no other, and once that was, shall be again! Afrikans awake! Unity and Organization shall put us back in our proper place, Afrika for Afrikans at home and abroad! Awake we have nothing to lose but our chains One Love 🖤 and Black Power! 🦁
No matter the studying of your past: keep your eyes open against contemporary thieves of your freedom and natural wealth: the Russians, Chinese.
Every ancient text we hold as credible speaks of the origin of man in these very regions. All the references to the rich history and influence Sudan, Nubia, Ethiopia only to be ignored by European tomb robbers. Thank you for this beautiful history lesson
so proud of African culture , even tough I'm not African
That same water pot for keeping water cool, my grandmother in Nigeria has it.

Promise to keep smiling, no matter how you are ...
You deserve to be happy :)
Happy to see documentaries about african history. Thanks BBC, nobody else reallydoes it and much and as well.
Thanks for letting out the truth about our ancestors i'm interesting in learning more. Sudan was hidden from face of the earth about the history. But it does have the most richest history to know. Once again thank you.
Thanks sister zeinab we appriciate your efforts to show our history
