What program do you use to make your charts? Do you make custom charts?
in the chart i can’t find the mother of King Takawakana
@@saraschneider6781 libreoffice draw, it's pretty easy to use for this sort of stuff and it's free!
I've always felt like African history is the most overlooked.
They had a whole thing, like entire rich histories and civilizations. We never talk about it in schools. We just act like the Africans were just a bunch of savages until Europe colonized.
In my high school (in South Africa) year in history class, we studied african history, but are mostly surrounding uncovered archeological evidences surrounding trades, structures, tribal groups etc. We were never taught that Africans were savages. However, most of its history are largely "forgotten" due to so little to zero "independent" manuscripts ( papyrus, clay, rock etc) through out African history outside of colonialism or Arabic influenced. Yes there are tons of ancient artifacts like art, clays/figurines, oral languages etc as to account for african history evidence. Would have been amazing had there been proper independent writing system throughout African history.
Facts I learned nothing about African history in school
@@carlwheezer1030 This is why homeschooling is superior.
There was too much emphasis on colonialism, when the vast majority of Subsaharan Africa was only colonised for 60-70 years. Maybe people think that great numbers of slaves being taken to America means large swathes of land being held by Europeans for centuries. Not the way slave trade worked. Though emphasis should really continue to be put on stuff like what happened in the Congo Free State or Namibia.
Hm.
Can you do a video on who the current living heirs are to kingdoms that no longer exist? Would like to hear about Nepal, Brazil, etc.
He already have a "who would be emperor of brazil" video
It is a series full of videos "who would be the king of...?"
I've got a coworker from Nepal. super nice guy with one heck of a work ethic. he's also really polite. if he didn't live 3 hours away, I'd probably drink a beer with him (if he drinks. idk if he does).

@@perfilgenerico8717 plus the king escaped slavery. There’s no telling how many kids there are now.
The amount of time and effort you put into researching these houses is really impressive. I'm sure you noticed how difficult it is to find explicit detail on this for one , much less several of them. Well done and thanks for contributing this masterpiece to the collaboration!
Vitor Loyola (the fan who made the chart) deserves the credit for this one, not me.
@@UsefulCharts Matt you’re the goat 💪🏾 ez
HE LITERALLY DIDNT WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT HE JUS SAID AFRICAN HISTORY IS NOT RIGHT AND STUFF DIDNT U HEAR IT BRO WHAT R U TALKING ABOUT
@@mynameiscarmenwinston9329 Cope and seethe
This amount of time was rather disappointing.
I'm noticing none of these dynasties really intermarried - makes an interesting contrast to European royal families that were always trading children.
I mean most of the a literally far away from each other.
Nowadays they do.
Great to see some African royal family trees, it's always amazing learning about a continent surrounded in some such amazing and complex history
Impressive. However, the chart has left out a lot of history regarding Central and Central Eastern Africa. The Buganda of Uganda, the Chewa of Zambia ans Malawi, the Umwami/Ubwami of Rwanda, and many more. I hope that there will be another video dedicated to that.
It's always interesting to see how these royal families relate to each other. Who is everyone's favorite African monarch?
Ramesses the Great
Cleopatra 😅
Mansa Musa!
Nana Yaa Asantewa!!! ❤
One of the Ethiopian ones probably, semi-mythical or not.
Finally an African royal video 😍 as an African am happy
I love your charts, and this video has inspired me to buy the chart which accompanies it!
The Brazilian anecdote reminded me that there is an official African monarchy in the state of Bolivia. Its ceremonial only but still officially recognised by the state with the titles and all. The story is that supposedly a Prince from what's now Senegal was enslaved and then in the plantation he was recognised and crowned King in 1823 and they've been basically maintaining this house since then.
As a Nigerian I screamed when I saw this😊
I am addicted to this channel......
Thank you so much for shedding more light on African royal history. I hope that next time more will be said regarding the East African dynasties. There is still so much left out.
Well researched! Congrats to the researcher and creator of this chart!
The Ile-Ife kingdom definitely deserve much more than a mere mention. Also, adding the Oyo kingdom to the chart will make this more sellable!
Exactly how does he miss Oyo???
This is quite possibly the most interesting TH-cam channel in the Web!
This was great, many thanks for this!
Finally been waiting for this one🤩
Awesome contribution to the South of the Sahara collab. 👌🏿
I think the most important royal dynasty in Africa is not mentioned here, the Tantamanids of Kush.
Tantamani ruled in the Kushetic golden era (850BCE-550BCE) and his descendants actually continued after him from a paternal or maternal line, he managed to hold off the Assyrians lower Egypt and not move any further into the nile, one of his descendants Amani-nadaqa-lepte (meaning the holy builder of Amun for constructing temples and shrines) defeated the Achaemenids after meeting them in a battle in the Nubian desert.
"The Tantamanids of Kush" , what the heck are you talking about, you too?? Kushite royalty traces their origins into prehistory back to the same Puntite roots than the Pharaohs (with countless intermarriages done pre- and post-Narmer) , while the dynasty that esthablished the Kushite empire - or "XXVth Dynasty of Egypt - starts the beginning of their dynasty with the Viceroy of Kush Pinehesy (reigned as King of Kush from circa 1090-1073 BCE) , not Tantamani. While their dynasty ended circa 490 BCE, not 550 BCE.
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 you have no clue what you're talking about. once i read the "viceroy" i knew where you're heading.
Kush was never, ever. a vice-royalty, this is a speculation of the oh-not-so biased Egyptiologists.
It's really hard to salvage any comprehensible info from what you said but i'll try. I didn't say that Tantamani started Kush, and Kushitic history is not this simple, Kash or Kush started off as a priestdom and by the time it engulfed other tribes and localties in the middle nile, it did not start as a kingdom in 1040BCE.
Egyptiophiles, your knowledge of Egypt doesn't generate knowledge of Sudan.
we're tired of this non-sense.
@@semregob3363 The Kushite royalty at that time itself, as well as any African royalty who traces some of their genealogical roots back to Kush agrees that Pinehesy was the founder of their dynasty, not Tantamani. This is literally carved in the remnants of their tombs and temples.
Don't discuss with me. Discuss with matter of fact. You're rambling a lot of nonsense without even any proof.
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 oh my lord, again. i did not say that Tantamani established Kush. you should really consider buying glasses mate.
and Pinehesy is not a name, it literally means "the black".
So thrilled for another video Matt
This is indeed a useful chart and a fantastic video!
Thank you for the care and time you put into this video
Excellent job to all contributors.
They even included Bokassa. I'm amazed.
Guys I think he likes charts I know he hides it but he seems to be a fan
Huge fan of your videos and I even bought your book. Great that you’re covering this under appreciated topic. I would recommend doing more with pronunciation. I don’t expect you to get everything right but a little more time spent there would be super appreciated
Glad to see the dinasty of Benin there. The Benin Empire under King Osemwende was the third foreign State to recognize brazilian independence and the second to send an embassador, after only Argentina. This embassador to Brazil also represented his vassal the King of Lagos.
I should have waited to comment, and talk about ZUMBI BEING THERE, although I'm sure his relation to the kings of Congo is dubious
Really great ! Awesome job, man... I'd like to hear about Oduduwa's descendants that ruled Ile Ife, the sacred Yoruba city. Thanks for your effort
Kindly read the book by Rev Samuel Johnson on "The History of the Yorubas". It is an old book kind of (1857).
@@JohnFemijkeyz Àṣẹ ! Thanks, dear friend. I'm reading it right now... That's a really great work done by Mr. Jones.
@@guilhermecaruciodasilva9287 Nice
thanks for this new videos usefulcharts
This video and chart are awesome! Please add the kingdom of Rwanda and other East-African kingdoms as well. Thank you!
This was very interesting and informative!
Super interesting.
Appreciate this video a lot thank you
I didn’t know they kept good records to research in Africa. Very cool chart.
Congratulations to the winners.
Hey, great work! Could you maybe do a video on the most senior heir of king david (if that’s possible)
Another good chart!
Amazing
I saw a oceanic royal family tree on the subreddit ones, you should cover that one aswell
Seeing the ancestral nexus for royal families always lifts my spirits.
I think Bahrids, Fatimids and Khedivates were the most powerful empires which established in Africa.
This is Awesome 👍😎.
Could we possibly get a separate video talking about the Royal family of the 25th Egyptian/Kushite dynasty.
Yes, that would be awesome.
@@AskiatheGreat64 I certainly think so.
Isn’t it on the Egyptian pharaohs family tree
Hey Matt i love your channel
You have a great channel
I love your videos! Could you please look up the family trees of the people Oscar Schindler rescued?
about time !
As a white person from central Europe who knows nothing about anything, I really appreciate this video and all the work the author, Vitor Loyola, has put into this chart. Thank you :)
you dont need to say ur white
Is it good to say "AS A WHITE PERSON"? Damn, u don't need to say that.
I think it’s a joke guys 😂
@@god6105 Nah , these days a lot of people actually believe the color of your skin is more important than the content of your character. They say it all the time on tv. Young people even think that.
Hi Matt.
I belong to the Moshoeshoe family (though my surname is slightly different for historical reasons). Suffice it to say, you butchered the pronunciation. That doesn’t phase me at all, but I would like to correct the pronunciation because the history behind the name may fascinate you.
Born Lepoqo (disaster) during the famine of 1787, his parents named him that as a commentary on the social calamity of war in such desperate times. At initiation (male rite of passage into adulthood) he was bestowed with the name Letlama (The Binder) and he had a reputation for conducting very successful cattle raids.
After one particular raid of 500 cattle belonging to the nearby chief Moeletsi, a praise song commemorating the victory called him Mo-shwe-shwe (”shwe” being the sound a razor makes when shaving, shearing, or when sharpening the blade against a leather strap). He was praised for ‘shearing the beards’ (emasculating) of his rivals and enemies in his military campaigns.
His name is an onomatopoeia and is a call back to this rhetorical analogy of him as an adept military strategist. Thus, regardless of how the name is spelt, the “shwe-shwe” sound is important to pronounce. It captures the reason he was given the nickname in the first place.
I hope you found that informative. Thanks for all the wonderful videos. I’ve recently become quite a fan of your work.
Interesting! Thanks 👍
Interesting video and show more videos going into detail
Glad the chart did a decent job on the Ashanti empire. The succession culture among Akans can be quite hard to follow (even by the locals)
@UsefulCharts would you please include the link for South of the sahara project. I found your channel fascinating. Thank you for your effort.
The amount of information I learned about Africa in these 12 minutes is more times than the WORD Africa was spoken aloud in 12 years of American public schooling.
That's very sad.
Wow super interesting
Hi! you make nice charts and explain them beautifully! Can you pls make one for Chola dynasty from southern India?
I think u can see the entire chola dynasty through the Chinese emperors
I need this in my life
Interesting. I didnt think the older vid needed a remake
4:24 The sunglasses and the nightcap caught me off guard lmao
Can you do a chart on soil food web ? And beneficial bacteria , I know it’s not your field but your good at this thing
I hope some times in the future you upload about Indonesian royal family
Can you make video on the kingdoms in Guinea or even west Africa
Can you do a video on kingdoms that exist within countries, such as the Zulu Kingdom within South Africa
About the buganda kingdom and wanga kingdom and bunyoro kingdom in East Africa?
Can you try to do Romanian royal family tree next?
I would love to hear if you had any information on the Kabaka of Buganda, that is, the royal house if the Luganda people.
Could you do a north african one? Like this?
Unrelated (or is?) but are you ever going to make a much more in depth version of any of your charts, one that would go left to right to cover a wall in a class room?
I wonder if you can do one for dog breeds or the queens corgis.
Hello Mr. Matt , can u pls make a chart on Chola Kings family tree and some notable achievements by them It's a very interesting topic and its currently very trending in India because of the newly released Ponniyin Selvan 1 Movie. Which is based on the novel inspired by Chola history.
Pls make a chart on Chola family tree and achievements. Thanks.
I have found a couple of other pretty good channels off of this collaboration.
I have a question that could be an interesting video. What is the oldest/longest family tree in existence? Verifiable or Not.
Japanese Emperors family tree for royals probably. For non-royals Confucius. Confucius traced his ancestry back to a duke of 1646 BC, while his descendants are still extant.
Can you go in more detail abiut the DUGUWA dynasty
Dropped the ball on somalia
Had 3 sultanates recognized by Brits and Italians when they came and many other ranks like gaarad, suldan, iman, etc. They are still around today most.notiably boqor burhan a descendant of one of thr sultans who signed protectorares for his sultanate They also had ancient sultanates like ajuran, adal, ifat, etc
What about East African Royalty?
Have you done Nordic royalty of old ?
Actually, Zumbi was not brought to Brazil, he was born here in Brazil. His grandmother was, supposedly, princess Aquatune of Congo; she was the one taken from Congo to Brazil
Can you do a chart of who would be the káiser of austro hugarian empire today? I really enjoy yogur charts!
Who would be kings of Germany is the video
Add the White Rajas to the Asian royal family tree and the Kettlers (Dukes of Courland) to the European family tree.
Just thinking how so called civilized Europeans destroyed these rich cultural heritage. 🥲🥲
Can you please do more about Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭
Please consider adding the AbaThembu Kingdom next time
what about somali kingdoms ? they were the most powerful kingdom's in east Africa??? linking between east Africa and sink road??
Can you look into it.
thanks.
Indeed, I wonder as well why East Africa is missing
Africa is a big continent, I am sure he will cover all the countries within as soon as he can source accurate information.
Can you do Malaysia Royal Family tree?
Who is the most senior heir today in the house of Merina?
You should have added some more African dynasties from east Africa other than the Solomonic dynasty such as the Adal and Ajuran Sultanates, Kilwa Sultanate, kingdom of Rwanda, Mwami of Burundi etc.
I'm not totally convinced that the Duguwa and Sayfawa dynasties were distinct or different lineages. Dierk Lange certainly thinks so, but there's a chance of dynastic continuity
Thanks for the time you put in this research, but I am not contented with the time you give the African dynasty....we need detailed episodes.
I respect the research and effort you put in your charts, however, the information you present on the roots of the Benin Kingdom is incorrect. The "Osigo" of the "Igodomigodo" Kingdom is where the Benin Empire traces it's origin. Please correct this as it is a slight on the history of the great people of Benin.
Yesssssssssssss
What about the Kingdom of Burundi???
not a bad one
But it Would be better if you had made a second chart for africa
Just like you made two about europe and considering africa is three times as large as europe and also that you skipped some north african dynasties
I was waiting east African countries kingdom but u didn't mention any
Which of them is my lost cousin, the nigerian prince?
As soon as your check clears he will be there directly.
I like Sonni Ali because he stuck to his traditional African spirituality 🔮
I think it's the biggest chart I've ever seen .
7:56 did not expect Zumbi dos Palmares to appear in this video 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
How about a video on different Native American nations
6:30 I assume the Polish flag 🇵🇱 there is because you know that there was a guy, Maurycy Beniowski, who was elected as King of Madagascar, following the French colonisation of the island
Your chat is incomplete without a chart of Oyo empire, you just briefly mentioned the Oba of Ile-Ife and the Oba of Lagos. Lol how do you not breakdown a chart of the main line of Oduduwa.
