What's the economy of Mali like?
Hi, I'm Tisha. I'm so glad to have came across your channel & become a new subby. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with me, with us.
You are well traveled brother. I'm proud of you.
Suggest you put the guides details in here. I found it hard to spell off the videp
Bro Mali was influenced by Arabs without Arabic influence theirs is no Mali secondly Nubia Ethiopia Madagascar and the moors of Northern Africa those were great civilizations but not Mali that place look like a Arabs village
Beautiful. I love looking at the architecture of old West African kingdoms.
Looks like another shithole in africa
Kexia Gundam i’m white and I have 12,5% sudanese and 12,5% egyptian dna aka north african lolololol
@@gutss8608 That's obviously a lie seeing how your people can't be in the sun one hour without burning or getting skin cancer .
bjorn britto it’s called being mix but still white lol. And btw white skin can adapt in warm Climates or else the middle east/southern europe would’ve been uninhabitable. But my heritage is truly 1/8 egyptian 1/8 sudanese hell even my father is light skin no other black people can tell me is a lie because genetics is not a lie Son 😂
@@gutss8608 how can your father be Sudanese aren't they suppose to be black ? The Egyptian alrighty but Sudanese ?
As a haitian it's interesting seeing this I can my cultures in all of west Africa it's amazing to witness everything we do is Africa
The BRIDGE 54 your ancestors were stolen from us brother, we are still one people regardless of where you live.
raan chol thank you 🙏🏿 means a lot to hear this
I'm here after learning that the ewe people (ancestors of haitians) used to live in the Mali Empire before migrating. It is interesting to know my ancestors contributed to the Mali Empire.
Naturellement
@@zman9315 thats love bro, i always was proud over haitians for standing up!
The Great Empire of Mali was one of the largest empires in West African History founded by the Great legendary king Sundiata Keita, and at its height it spanned from the Atlantic Coast to central parts of the Sahara desert . The Empire’s most famous ruler was named Mansa Musa, and chroniclers of the times wrote that when he travelled to Mecca on a pilgrimage he distributed so much gold that he caused great inflation lasting a decade . Now that is what we called wealth. It also produces legends like Mansa Wali, Khalifa and Mansa Magha. This is a great land my brother. Great job showing us history. Stuff like these are not shown on western television, unless if they are reporting negative news.
There was no an empire named Mali, the west Africa empire was Mandingue Empire not Mali. You should listen a bit the the talking, Mali is a new name of a part of west Africa but the mandingue empire was spread in all west Africa (Guinea, ivory cost, Mali, Sénégal, sierra Leone, etc..), and the capital of that empire was in actual Guinea.
S Sama That's what you call idiocy. No wonder all the Arabs headed into Africa seeking gold and slaves.
The biggest in west Africa n one of the biggest in Africa.
Dude, guys like Mansa Musa owned tens of thousands od slaves. Mansa bring 12 000 of them to his pilgrimage. Also it was local rulers that sold your ancestors to the Europeans. Also slavery exist today in parts of Africa. Don't be dumb, learn your history.
Antoniobr911 stfu you racist pig. Literally, everyone practiced slavery
I love all may African people's god bless Africa
Love from East africa Sudan🇸🇩🇸🇩👋🏿
Absolutely beautiful! I love my people! Praise be to the ancestors that built that ancient city!
I just love the way this brother relates with the motherland. So open and ready to learn and showing a lot of love and respect for the local populace. You will find Nigeria and Nigerians very interesting too if you go to the right places at the right time. Some suggestions for ya when in Nigeria. 1. The Osun festival and grooves in Oshogbo, Osun state. The palace of the Ooni(king) of Ile Ife, the arts and crafts markets in ife
2. The Oba (King's) palace in Benin, the Bronze casters market all in Edo state Nigeria and 3. The Durbar festival in Kano state of Nigeria but avoid a city like Maiduguri in the North East because that's Boko Haram territory. Then there are interesting cities like Abuja, the country's capital, Lagos the commercial capital; Calabar and Portharcourt in the South south of Nigeria. There is also the badagry slave port in Lagos state Nigeria. There are many more interesting places too but Nigeria is such a vast country so my advice to you is to hook up with a reliable guide before traveling. You will be safe.
Devoice Yawole he should stay away from Nigeria is a shithole country anyway with white supremacist Jesus statues
I have respecte for him now you are a real African well come home
Ebi Opuengu
He has INSULTED ISLAM, CHRISTIANITY ,but Africans DO NOT KNOW what he has said ,’HOW he TRULY FEELS !!
Me too
Nigeria? Do you want to get the brother robbed or held for ransom? Bad idea, mate
This American guy is the goat. Thank you for your videos.
You are welcome and please share the videos
Yeah nice video , but he’s an African not american
George Apuri he sounds American to me
George Apuri no, he’s American
Djenne reminds me of Kano, Nigeria, where my ex husband is from. Nice video Dynast. Your quest and thirst for knowledge is quite refreshing. Peace and blessings always.
Dynasty you have too much awesomeness for just one person.
lol, I try.
Kings and queens adjust our crowns and take your place on the Thorne. We are royalty
Are you a Songhai, mandinka or Tuareg?
Thank you King Dynast. The viewers appreciate it. Peace & Blessings
Thank you family and please share the content with others.
Am so proud i study in Africa. lol. truth. we studied Moors took Spain and all that Area. Also Banin kindom and Zulu ,and Timbuktu was important for us, cause the writing and reading.
Education all. look this beauty..
African build this .
Thanks brother
nice video, i'm yoruba, but i have some malian ancestory. so proud to be african!
(although i was born in the united states)
Stay blessed Sulayman.
Great video man! I just wish we got to see inside traditional houses and look at how beds and kitchens looked like. Some small corrections regarding the Mosque of Djenné 1) It used to be a Palace of a Sultan Kunburu , once he converted to Islam he changed his Palace into a mosque 2) Mansa Musa expanded upon the Mosque however he did not build it. 3) The current Mosque we see before is actually a reconstructed one under French Colonial rule due to deterioration and no maintenance, however contrary to what white supremacist say, the building is still 100% of African creation and is an exact re-creation of the Mosque maid by Sultan Kunburu 4) It’s actually the largest mud-brick building in the World... period! A pretty impressive feat!
It's not the exact re-creation, that's impossible. Moreover, French ethnologist Michel Leiris, in his account of travelling through Mali in 1931, states that the new mosque is indeed the work of Europeans. He also says that local people were so unhappy with the new building that they refused to clean it, only doing so when threatened with prison.
@@eurocrime8992 An unpopular comment. But if one loves history, one must honest with oneself. There are plenty of online references discussing the French influence on the restored mosque of djenne as well as its prior disrepair and usage as a graveyard. I myself don't want to believe it, but facts are facts.
For example, when the three halls of the forbidden city were not restored due to lightning fire/superstition/mandate-of-heaven. They used prior blueprints and understanding of the standard code usage of number of bays, columns, dougong bracketing system, tier-roof system [hierarchical building code of important buildings] and it's geometric position in regards to the courtyard, marble stone base and rest of the buildings to faithfully rebuild them in the Qing dynasty. For example, the number of bays we know from standard procedure and from there, it is the bracketing system which is the same as the rest of the complex, paintings for reference, the number of roofs to signify the importance of the building etc. That's how you know a building is faithfully restored.
What I am trying to say, is where was the trail of documents that the builders could work with to restore the building after such long disuse? It isn't an exact recreation unfortunately but I don't think it's the right approach to use history revisionism because it might hurt some people's pride.
YOU NAILED IT! LOVING THIS SO MUCH!
So beautiful I love the earthen architecture and layout of the town. I can imagine that the neighbours not only know each other but socialise and have a great relationship with each other unlike how it is in other cities around the world.
Wow this boy 😃 I was born and raised in West Africa, never been anywhere in another african country beside Ghana. Wow! Hats off dude.
This reminds me of my high school West African history. Thank you for a trip in time. The famous Niger river also passes through Nigeria and drains into the Atlantic in the Niger delta in Southern Nigeria. Big thumps up to you for the journey through Africa. It is a worthwhile experience.
Thank you for watching and subscribing
That guide of yours is on point, the way he described the history of these buildings and the culture, if I ever go to Mali i'm going to hire this very guy. Interesting that people from Morocco when they travelled to this town many centuries ago they loved it so much they wanted to add their own architecture there also
people from morocco did the same thing the white man did
Hello Dynast, you're so handsome! The people of Mali are very beautiful! Dynast, your guide is so nice to you! Great video!
Asalamu Alaikum, the way this community treasures their mosque, the house of God, really warms my heart. May Allah bless them
Thank you for sharing this
learned something new. Didn't know it's illegal to build a cement house in that town since it's a world heritage site.
Seeing this as a Jamaican who wants to visit Mali other African countries one day is really cool.The history and culture is so rich
U Should Come 💙✌🏾
Mansa Mussa if he was alive he would be the richest person in the world
KingZulu FAM
That's profound. He was then and still would be.
✊
Yea if the European doesn’t come in steal it because they steal everything.
@@monsura3583 Hi there. Mansa Musa gave his wealth away on pilgrimage to Mecca in modern day Saudi Arabia. The Europeans had not ventured into this part of Africa at that time.
Mansa Musa was the richest man in history. A Black West African (Malian) Mandinka/Mandingo(pure blooded) King.
John Con They probably did not venture out there yet mainly because he was a powerful man in his time that had an army powerful enough to squash the European (not saying that they weren’t thinking about it) but it doesn’t take away from my comment up above because the Europeans historically have a history of stealing and pillaging Black people for example the Congolese and the Natives of America as well my tribe the Yoruba tribe which they stole from.
Thank you soooo much for ALL of your videos brother!!!!🖤. These videos are sooo needed, organic and inspiring! I pray that my children, who are half Bambara, have a desire and are able to travel to Djenne, Mali.
I’m super intrigued with Mali. I did an ancestry test & I have Mali ancestors. 🇺🇸+🇲🇱!
Wow, that's great.... When will you come visiting????
@@khadeejahturai7686 when Covid has been coiled!
Really enjoyed this video, the tour guide did a really good job and the footage is really great. Much appreciation for taking the time to do this.
Thank you
I did. Snot everywhere
I’ve seen this place in my dreams... Thanks for sharing Uhuru
You are welcome and please share
very interesting sight . and its so amazing how those buildings remain standing after centuries . just amazing
What a beautiful town, that architecture and culture is so vibrant, it's a shame that Europe tried so hard to destroy places like these to further ridicule the people living there and future travellers.....
Also sad how they would charge you so much just to go inside, it's like the legacy of this amazing mosque and African history comes at a price
Unfortunately the original mosque fell into disrepair and was rebuilt by the French.
the french literally restored the mosque dumbass
I like how despite the heat, how happy and how friendly they are...I love my people❤😀
What is the heat suppose to make you feel unhappy?
Welcome to my biological father's home and birthplace. I am a descendent of the Pearl tribe. I'm so late on your journey but you are living my dream. Thank you.
Incredible videos and stories... Perfect for lifetime learners.
thank you and please share the videos

He said Niger means "Big One", very interesting; and He didn't pronounce the g as j, like others, however; I remember the french pronounce the g as j. This is the guide I want, when I visit, He's a walking book! Much love from Alabama, thanks Prince Dynast, thanks Historian. Excellent work!
Mac-A- Vision Productions look him up

@@thebridge5483 RACIST
Beautiful mosque ,the largest mud brick building in the world ,this is world heritage site declared by UNESCO ,this is indeed a heritage for every one
Soo much wisdom, Knowledge, and understanding about Mansa Musa, the mosque he built), and the Djenne river). Think!
Thanks for this bro, Your videos help us all see what we probably never would see.
my malian ancestors
Joseph Long
Much respect from America ..
They are not your ancestors. They are your cousins. They can't be your ancestors if they are alive in the same time period as you. You share ancestors with them so they are your cousins not ancestors.
JoStylin stfu
very nice, history guide is seems very nice man
He is. Thanks and please share
Love it thank you for sharing.
The guide is knowledgeable
I love Mali ... Some of my ancestors came from there... i take a DNA test and i have 14% Mali and 14% Senegal .. THe music in the backround when your on the boat dock sounds like Pular nigani music playing .. its really nice :D
I'm from East Africa, I love and enjoy Djenne History except a 13 years girl who was sacrificed,
I like to say it was/is not islamic to sacrifice human being for the devil.
5 stars documentary.
black kemet goes back to the false god Moloch the people that worshiped before the true Nation of The Israelites chosen by the by Elohim Yahweh today many secret societies who worship Satan are still practicing this form of paganism😈👹☠👽!!
Maudene Yarber get out here with your Israelites nonsense, we are true African with nothing to do with your fake Israelites shit.
Black kemet , I know it’s sad. Her name was tapama Djenepo . History said every time they try to build the mosque. The wall will collapse. So the oracle asked to sacrifice a virgin in order to be able to build.
These countries used to be one of the richest of at those times. History changes and also repeats it's self
Just seeing this video, I'm a Nigerian and a Malian, it's so nice to know that you've visited our great Mali. Have you visited Bamako yet????
Unique beautiful Mosque and Wonderful People ❤ from India🇮🇳
Good job brother. This is a marathon video and you went at length to bring this to us. Well done!
I am definitely going to start travelling to see the gorgeous places my people come from. This will be one od the places on my list for i do have Malian ancestry.
They currently have tickets on sale to Ivory Coast for 318.00

Wow, how did I miss this before Lol. 💖😍👑
So beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful ❤🌏 no place like home
Watching in 2020 and teaching myself my history

Just learnt who Mansa Musa was and I am so happy that there is a video that shows one of the mosqes he's built. Loved this video :))))
Professor Henry Gate doesn't have anything on your travel videos.
Thanks Fam and please share the videos.
FACTS
Sudan was the general name given for most of west Africa, you'll see this on older maps especially before wider colonialism, Sudan is from Arabic meaning 'land of the blacks'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan_(region)
Choclit west africans never called themselves sudan ONLY the people from mordern Sudan called and are still calling themselves Sudan. They used it to refer to Subsaharan africans. they also referred subsaharan Africa as Ethiopia
BIZOU BRAZZA The Northen parts of West Africa were labeled West Sudanic because of the language family the people speak also. Nilosaharan languages and Chadic languages are associated with Sudan. The people migrated from Sudan......
Tnx bro for the meaning of Sudan
African Child yes Mali was Soudan before the independence. It was the French Soudan and they change it to Mali because of the Mali empire at the time of soundiata Keita.
That's why their architect buildings look like the ones in Sudan. Thanks for this info.
The man is trying to show you Toobavofeery, the mud brick, which the lintier structure was built but I don't see an interest from you -lol greeting from Ethiopia I love Mali
Peace and blessings and thank you
Sudan is from Arabic meaning 'land of the blacks
Awesome man, really. I am more knowledgeable because of you.
Africa is where my story began.Nice video.
I've watched several of your videos, intelligent, investigative and informative. Well done and thanks. Hope you and many African Americans find their way back. You know they say Africa is the future. Much work needs doing on both sides but imagine the world with a united Black race of people. The Europeans do, hence their divide and rule tactics.
I love it Big Bro
One of my favorite videos, you've done. Keep up the good work bro!
thank you.
Search for Uhuru No problem bro, I have one question though. When your tour guide was saying Mali used to be called Sudan. Was he referring to the West African Sahelian name "Bilal Al Sudan?" Which covered Northern Nigeria, Senegal, Mali, Mauritania,Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad?
Yes, Sudan simply meant land of the blacks. Im thinking the empires in Africa that were Islam were called Sudan
I wish when u go in their neighborhood the less u can do is bring the kids some candy or something. We wanna go there and film and the kids follow u all around , have a couple pieces of candy for them .just a friendly juster.
Only a queen would have thought of children, quite clearly the guy in the video was a child at that time and i hope that he grew just a little bit

Nice documentary of local life in Djenne
What an education! Thank you!
Love it
This is the true Golden City. The Real Wakanda Very Nice

Beautiful people
💥GREAT VIDEO BRO

THANKS FOR SHARING....
Dope! 👌🏾
Like the traditional way of building boat
thank you brother good job OK
Beautiful to see this city mashaAllah
Thanks brother Uhuru for deciding to donate towards their well being rather than to buy God bless you
HOW COME YOU THE ONLY BLACK MAN TALKING ABOUT AFRICA MOST OF THE OTHER VIDEOS ARE DONE BY BLACK WOMEN.
They are too busy debating
It felt like you walked 50 miles in that village
I hope you find your Fulani wife and have beautiful children. I can't wait to see that video of your beautiful wife and children. And then one day you will be mayor of Djenne.
I received that. Thank you
This is great videos of shown ancient African cities which had sophisticated architecture before colonial invasion and transatlantic slavery. And was taught when I was kid of Africans live in simple villages with no civilization until the British and other white people arrive in 19th century.
All Praise to the Most High Yahweh
Wish I could be there
Greatness
