I don't think you realize how much of a service you're are providing by making these videos. I've learned so much, and it only makes me want to go out and find more knowledge concerning pre-colonial African history. You are truly making a difference.
This video was excellent! I loved how you focused on all parts of the African continent rather than just North Africa as some people do! I also lived the music here
What other parts did he focus on? He mentioned one or 2 things from South of the Sahara and all those things are relatively modern in the span of history ( well into the AD)
@@GuerrillaSM Did you watch a different video or something? There was plenty of coverage of subsaran Africa Specifically after 8:55. And naturally speaking there’d be more early north african history because we have more written sources from that region & time....
My dear young brother. You're so incredibility blessed. Your sound scholarship and persistent pursuit of heritage and its complexities is breathtaking and motivational. Its amazingly inspiring, you should be documentary maker , you certainly have a gift for the visual arts to complement the sound scholarship. Much appreciation and may you have the blessings of THE MOST HIGH ONE and the veneration of our ancestors.
You are doing INCREDIBLE work. It is difficult to put in words the necessity of this for me and many other Black (African) people who seek to understand fuller their identity, history, and contributions--especially during this time of increasing Black consciousness. So many African descendants outside of Africa know nothing about this and as a result are disconnected with who they are and one another as they have to adjust to working/living with a broken identity. THANK YOU. This has also shown me that the development in the New World came at Great Expense/Detriment to the Great development that was occuring in Africa. Let's continue to move forward toward UNITY and REBIRTH.
This video is beyond amazing. Not just because of the detail and information it provided on the diversity and sophistication of such a large, and often overlooked, continent, but because of the wonderful audience that just keep mentioning other important civilizations and events. This goes to show that Africa not only has history, but there's too much for any one person to even lightly brush over all at once. I'm so glad I found this channel. I love history, learning about different cultures, and learning about my own possible heritage. Not only that, but there's so much information I've found because of this channel that is helping me as a writer and artist with the projects I'm currently working on. Thank you so much, HomeTeam History for everything you're doing, and thank you everyone in the comments for being such an active community that show we as Africans and African descendents matter in a world that would like to say we are invisible.
@The Godless That's a strawman fallacy, one because just because its a video doesn't mean its histrically inaccurate just becaue it doesn't suit your narrative. Two is he provides sources in the description that back up his claims. That's a really ignorant statement and shows you don't know much about Africa, there are places in Africa which were as advanced as Egypt. In ancient Cush for example they had pyramids as well as well as their own writing script called meroitic. In west Africa there was the Songhai, Mali and Shana empires which was renowned for its mud brick and stone architecture of the Sudano Sahelian region.

first of all, great video, keep them coming. second of all, why stop at colonialism? more significant african events could be ghana being established as the first west african nation to gain independance, the anglo-zulu wars, anglo-ashanti wars, ethiopia defeating italy, the congolese civil war, rwanda genocide, establishment of african union, and more. both good or bad, african history goes much further than colonialism
This channel really deserves to be supported financially for making African history more accessible to the general population. His content is well researched and he narrates video well. Definitely worth the time it takes to like, subscribe & share.
I had been a PROUD HomeTeam History patreon supporter all this year. But then I fell upon financial hardship, and had to start cutting alot of my expenses---drastically. And unfortunately I had to drop HomeTeam History.... :-( BUT now, when I look back on the quality of work this brotha does, the solid information, and the love and patience in his teachings, I have to make a new decision. So, I have started up my monthly support again. Heck, I'm just gonna have to cut expenses somewhere else---but HomeTeam History deserves my continued support! Keep giving that knowledge and light! Ase' !
I want to encourage you HomeTeam History. Your work is bringing real benefits to the global community of Africans - on the continent and the diaspora. Know with absolute certainty that the personal commitment in study, research, and sacrifice is reaping a solid return. Thank you brother.
Hi there, enjoyed your video and thank you for bringing unity among Africans even though that might not have been your goal. I'm originally from north-west Africa, my tribe is called the 'imazighen' (ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ) or "berbers" (derogatory term) and we're located in more than 10 countries. Very diverse in dialect and appearance but we're still one. I get the idea that some west Africans do not consider us as Africans because some of our light skin. Africa is quite diverse you know, I could distinguish a west African from a South or East African easily. Let us not be divided from each other based on the region, since outside powers already have been dividing us for ages by made up borders, religion and all the other import stuff. One love.
Great video! One thing you could have added to the string of colonial defeats: battle of the 3 kings in Morocco which ended Portuguese ambition in Western Africa and even ended their dynasty, forcing them into civil war. It's crazy how many other African nations fought off the Portuguese with success!
Excellent approach to visualizing African World history, I would only say that the dates reach further back into the abyss of the ancient world than depicted . That is not a slight or downplay to this great work by any means, just shows that we must get back to our way of measuring time . Much respect and continue to allow the Ancestors to guide your thoughts .
I'm so very grateful my brother 🙏. The knowledge you are giving our young kings and Queens are very aspiring. In order to know where we are going as a culture we must 1st know who we are and where we come from. However the time is know for us to make our own history organize and unit!
Wow, thank you for giving me such excellent places to start! I will have to watch this a few more times to make some notes so I know where to start looking things up. This ought to keep me busy for a few years! And it was so moving, to watch this epic human story unfold even in these brief snapshots. There's so much I don't know!
Your time line of significant events missed a few: 1. c8500 BCE world temperatures rise to near modern levels, coast lines change....Sahara still green. 2. c5600 BCE Tropical wet Sahara begins to dry with many (mega) lakes dry up so it becomes semi desert/desert - maybe due to 25,000 year earth orbit precession. 3. C3900 BCE 5.9 kiloyear Bond event Atlantic cooling and drought, with further Sahara desertification forcing people move to the Nile. 4. 600 BCE, Greeks settle Cyrene, known as Kyrenaika. It is known for the greatest intellectual and artistic centers of the Greek world, famous for its medical school, learned academies and architecture, Also Phonecians were trading for gold in Gambia. 5. 100 BCE The city of Rhapta predates the Arab/Swahili trade cities of East Africa by quite a bit. 6. c500 AD Mozambique was settled by humans for first time. and of course you skipped the people migrations, which were pretty significant too.
The 8000 year old Ishonga bone, the medical doctors that were practicing cesarean birth in Uganda 2000 years ago, The Dog on tribe and there interstellar knowledge speculated to be older Han any empire in Africa....I have more....
Just subbed here, nothing but EXCELLENT telling in the history of our people, but at the same time it is so sad to see the states that we're in right now in all four corners of the Earth....
the proper name is: The Ajuuraan Somaali Empire. you also forgot: The Somalo-Afar Adal and Iffat sultanates; The Somali Warsangeli, Majertenia and Geladi Sultanates. Keep up the good job. Thanks.
Beautifully done! I love the timing; I was able to read the texts before they were switched. I love the music. Sharing this with my homeschooling groups and my peps.
fantastic video! If I may, couple of suggestions: I really think necessary to have mentioned the Nyiginya Kingdom of Rwanda (which started in the 11th Century and lasted until 1885, and had a dynasty until 1961.) Same for the Burundi Kingdom (17th Century-1966) and the Buganda Kingdom (14th Century-1966). Finally, the iron industry in pre-colonial Africa could have been pretty interesting to mention.
Theman controlled the Red Sea as well as some parts of the Arabian peninsula . A lot of scholars distance the Yemeni kingdom(sabean) from the D'mt empire but they have found a palace in Eritrea with inscription dating to 600 BBC saying that a D'mt king ruled the sabeans. To add to all this, there have been found several artifacts and writings in Yemen in the D'mt script.
This proves we were far more advanced then Europe and Portugal. If our ancestors had not been blinded by trinkets we would never have been in this situation. Also, shows our people has always been divided unless someone or group could hold the ethnic groups together . Unfortunately history is repeating itself . How do we fix this problem? How do we get everyone to stop looking at riches and become interested in fixing our failed system ? I will share and support your website because knowledge is power and I must learn more about my history . It’s calling to a deep part inside of my soul.
We were so divided because the terrain made is unification difficult. There are many navigable rivers. That's why the linguistic diversity was maintained for such a long period. The import horses and camels helped but when the Songhai fell, things fell into disarray a bit. Same thing happened to Europe when Rome fell. We must now find a way to integrate our economies by rail infrastructure to strengthen trade and prosperity.
Chyna doll Lawd your comment....This doesn't necessarily prove "we were far more advanced than Europe and Portugal" (btw Portugal is part of Europe)... What this prove is the lies being told that Africans including descents of Africans didnt create civilizations/empires/settlements, writing scripts/language, historical battles/wars, architecture, religion, trade routes, art, and textile. Hometeam's video doesn't even go in depth about these different empires and their achievements/advancements of technology. He has others that do but this was simply a timeline of ancient Africa up to today (kinda).
well said, but one also must understand that Africa is a continent almost twice or three times the size of North America and at least 10 time the size of Europe and within it are thousands of languages,sub- languages, religions and cultures. i dont even think Ghengis Khan could have United all of Africa. I do how ever think a Confederacy would have stopped Europe in its tracks.
LOUDxHippy -- I agree. We shouldn't be so braggadocious about these kinds of things. It'll only illicit negative reactions. Just appreciate, learn and build for the future. The reason why people are so hostile towards African history is because we always so quick to compare with Europe as if we have some complex and are trying to prove a point. Confident people don't act that way.
To add to the other comment, Moroccans were also not the Moors entirely, the Moors were largely driven out before the Spanish Inquisition in the 1400's n settled all over North Africa some back to Arabia
The Moors were not from Arabia, they were indigenous people called 'imazighen' but just Arabized through culture. The arabization of Africa ruined North Africa the most. The idea of the Maghrebs should have never existed if you ask me.
geerenmo Idk how true that is because I don't know much about the imazigh before arabization. All I know is that the Spanish described the Moors as tall dark and Diabolical in their records once they usurped them. But to be fair I find it hard to believe because they brought vast order cleanliness and beautiful architecture to the Iberian Peninsula during their reign which was only due to arabization. N honestly I don't know about Africa being too bad due to arabization as opposed to colonization from Europe or their meddling in African affairs
Barry, I know it's true because I have been looking into it. All the dynasties were Imazighen who were arabized through culture. They brought some good shit but no one should be colonizing anyone. And the Arabs and Europeans did screw up Africa, both are guilty because they were into slavery, also the plundering of resources of course. So screw them both.
Never have I seen a video so captivating and convincing. I wish real African history will be taught in all African schools. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Another fantastic piece of work from you - it was so good I had to watch it twice - this was visualy splendid as alwaysI thought the music added greatly to the overall presentation - Thank You
Abyssinian Empire was not founded in in 1137. It is a continuation of and another name of Axumite Empire.It is a pre-christian empire.If you look at the architectural remnants of Axumite civilization, you will notice curved at the top of the Axum Obelisk (still standing in Northern Ethiopia) a symbol depicting the eye of Horas. Those days, the axumites (today Ethiopians and Eritreans) were not christian yet; rather part of the mystery system of the ancient Kemit religion.
People love to say that Tuaregs represent the berber race as a whole while many of the Tuaregs actually look more caucasian than subsaharan,they might have also forgot that Tuaregs actually count as just 5% of all the north african Berbers. @@ElijahShawmaliciousboy
@@anismerabet9160 Please read what I said, I never said that all berbers are black, I said that they are not a homogenous group and can have skin colors ranging from light to dark. And most Tauregs are dark skin. www.taneter.org/berbers.html. Additionally, Tauregs are not the only group of black berbers "Five major tribes of Berbers were spoken of by early Muslim writers including the Sanhaja, Masumuda Zenata, Ketama and Goddula which were categorized into dozens of others which in turn were divided into many more. Among them were the early Kabyles originally a group of Sanhaja Berbers. Most descriptions refer to the modern Kabyles as fair-skinned, but in the 19th century and early 20th, descriptions and in fact many photographs depict them as dark and near black. (Photos from the 19th century show both very dark-skinned and near white skinned Kabyle individuals from different villages in the region). 1890 - “The Kabyles or Kabaily of Algerian and Tunisian territories…besides tillage, work the mines contained in their mountains…They live in huts made of branches of trees and covered with clay which resemble the Magalia of the old Numidians…They are of middle stature, their complexion brown and sometimes nearly black.” Written in The Encyclopedia Britannica: Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and General Literature Henry G. Allen Company p. 261 Volume I 1890."
Another fantastic video presentation - so good I watched twice. I liked this format using the map - Continents landscape and the music for added drama - this was visually very informative. I really appreciate your creative talent and desire to share knowledge - Thank You for sharing your gift.
This is a tonne of information here music in the background make me fell I actually in Africa I'm proud to be an African in the diaspora I think there should be a movie so much greatness to be shown to the world
Loved it thank you! Could you please also do a time line for migration, I'm so interested in knowing how and why we moved to different parts of the continent. As a South African I've just learned we migrated from West Africa, mainly due to slave capturing/trades. But not to say Southern Africa wasn't already inhabitat. I'm really interested in the times when we were a small population and how we started growing and break apart to form the different tribes we have. Thank you!
kader dao You've been seeing his videos lately too?? I don't know why his nonsense appeared on my timeline, but I was surprised nobody has taken to debunking it.
This is Incredible...I've Often Dreamed of Making a Cartoon like Video of this Stuff, Quick & Fast for the Public to get an Idea of True History . I do Believe Even Earlier Ethiopia Branched into the Middle East Helping Create Those Regions while Possibly Creating Nubia too
I would love to see a movie where there is a queen who is ruler of her tribe in Africa, then one day something happens to where she wakes up in modern time and she meets her doppelgänger. Then she learns everything that has happened and sees how we are, then makes it her mission to teach modern day civilians about our history and she gets close with her doppelgänger. Then the same “something” that happened to her for her to get to modern day happens again and she goes back home and runs and tells her tribe the whole story. Don’t mind my thoughts though
excellent video. I only want to add little correction concerning Ethiopia. You rightly mentioned about Axum, the Ethiopian emoire which distroyed the Sudanese Kush empire. But it also has ruled the Southern Arabia for atleast 2 centuries. Later the kingdom didnt collapse, rather it is replaced by Zagwe dynasity. The first emperor of the Zagwe is the Son in low of the last emperor of Axum. The Zagwe dynasity built 11 rock hewn churches, which are UNESCO heritage sites and are still serving as a church. When the Zagwe dynasity weakened it was replaced by the Solomonic dynasity. The first Emperor of the solomonic dynasity is the 11th generation great grand son of the last Emperor of Axum. The Zagwe dynasity peacefully handed over its throne to the Solomonic dynasity in the 12th century. This video put that time as the foundation of Abyssinian empire. But in reallity the empire was there. There was only a dynasity change. The Solomonic dynasity ruled for 800 years until HaileSelassie was overthrown by the military junta. The main point Government in Ethiopia existed for 2000 years uninturrupted.
Thank you for referring to the empire in its correct name Kemet instead of the kkkavedweller & White Supremacist term "Ancient Egypt". Nothing was "built in Egypt" and everything was gentrification & culture vultured by Egypt. (i.e. Eminem & Elvis) It pisses me off to no end when "Niggros" in BLK face do that. It shows a contempt for the truth and the ancestors as well as BLK ppl. Respect BLK man. Keep up the excellent work. Just a note: The modern Chinese & Jaanese writing systems also come from the Medu Netur. Shouts out from Tokyo.

BUT now, when I look back on the quality of work this brotha does, the solid information, and the love and patience in his teachings, I have to make a new decision. So, I have started up my monthly support again. Heck, I'm just gonna have to cut expenses somewhere else---but HomeTeam History deserves my continued support! Keep giving that knowledge and light! Ase' !
I want to encourage you HomeTeam History. Your work is bringing real benefits to the global community of Africans - on the continent and the diaspora. Know with absolute certainty that the personal commitment in study, research, and sacrifice is reaping a solid return. Thank you brother.
This is going to be great for homeschooling my kids! Thank you so much for the hard work brother 😊
I'm crying tears of joy. Thank you so much for this! This is amazing!
Great work as always.
The my
This was absolutely beautiful. In my view your greatest among great pieces of work. We are so grateful for you, brother.
Hi there, enjoyed your video and thank you for bringing unity among Africans even though that might not have been your goal.
I'm originally from north-west Africa, my tribe is called the 'imazighen' (ⵉⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵏ) or "berbers" (derogatory term) and we're located in more than 10 countries. Very diverse in dialect and appearance but we're still one. I get the idea that some west Africans do not consider us as Africans because some of our light skin. Africa is quite diverse you know, I could distinguish a west African from a South or East African easily. Let us not be divided from each other based on the region, since outside powers already have been dividing us for ages by made up borders, religion and all the other import stuff. One love.
I love this mental map of African history. And the music, great travel Asante Sana.
Great video! One thing you could have added to the string of colonial defeats: battle of the 3 kings in Morocco which ended Portuguese ambition in Western Africa and even ended their dynasty, forcing them into civil war. It's crazy how many other African nations fought off the Portuguese with success!
Excellent approach to visualizing African World history, I would only say that the dates reach further back into the abyss of the ancient world than depicted . That is not a slight or downplay to this great work by any means, just shows that we must get back to our way of measuring time . Much respect and continue to allow the Ancestors to guide your thoughts .
Great job definitely sharing this video
Already shared this with some fam and friends. Recently subscribed to your channel a lil over a week ago. I look forward to more videos like this one.
I'm so very grateful my brother 🙏. The knowledge you are giving our young kings and Queens are very aspiring. In order to know where we are going as a culture we must 1st know who we are and where we come from. However the time is know for us to make our own history organize and unit!
Man! This video was awesome. The music and information was awe inspiring.
Wow!! This was by far the greatest... I’m showing this to all that want to see
You should Collab with Afric Network
I would love to thanks my peoples for making this connect!
I truly love how Egypt was refered to as Kemet
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video. A must see video for everyone.
Wow, thank you for giving me such excellent places to start! I will have to watch this a few more times to make some notes so I know where to start looking things up. This ought to keep me busy for a few years! And it was so moving, to watch this epic human story unfold even in these brief snapshots. There's so much I don't know!
Your time line of significant events missed a few:
1. c8500 BCE world temperatures rise to near modern levels, coast lines change....Sahara still green.
2. c5600 BCE Tropical wet Sahara begins to dry with many (mega) lakes dry up so it becomes semi desert/desert - maybe due to 25,000 year earth orbit precession.
3. C3900 BCE 5.9 kiloyear Bond event Atlantic cooling and drought, with further Sahara desertification forcing people move to the Nile.
4. 600 BCE, Greeks settle Cyrene, known as Kyrenaika. It is known for the greatest intellectual and artistic centers of the Greek world, famous for its medical school, learned academies and architecture, Also Phonecians were trading for gold in Gambia.
5. 100 BCE The city of Rhapta predates the Arab/Swahili trade cities of East Africa by quite a bit.
6. c500 AD Mozambique was settled by humans for first time.
and of course you skipped the people migrations, which were pretty significant too.
It missed a lot of things but it highlighted a lot of important events that are ignored and/or rejected by the outside world.
28K-41K Subscribers real quick.
Edit:47K subscribers happy to see you growing man.
Holy crap as of now 582 likes and zero dislikes! AFRICA!
May we learn from history.
Thanks man and your team for putting this together.
The 8000 year old Ishonga bone, the medical doctors that were practicing cesarean birth in Uganda 2000 years ago, The Dog on tribe and there interstellar knowledge speculated to be older Han any empire in Africa....I have more....
Just subbed here, nothing but EXCELLENT telling in the history of our people, but at the same time it is so sad to see the states that we're in right now in all four corners of the Earth....
Your videos are getting better
A MOVIE about KING MANSA 👑💪 would be great😊
So true!
the proper name is: The Ajuuraan Somaali Empire.
you also forgot: The Somalo-Afar Adal and Iffat sultanates; The Somali Warsangeli, Majertenia and Geladi Sultanates.
Keep up the good job. Thanks.
The somal afar adal iffat were vassal states of the ethiopian empire
@@Realr420 they fought against ethiopia so try again
Habesha Prince lol they fought against Ethiopia 😂😂 nice try though
Have you given thought about doing some of these productions for the school systems. They certainly can benefit from them. Great work.
Beautifully done! I love the timing; I was able to read the texts before they were switched. I love the music. Sharing this with my homeschooling groups and my peps.
fantastic video!
If I may, couple of suggestions: I really think necessary to have mentioned the Nyiginya Kingdom of Rwanda (which started in the 11th Century and lasted until 1885, and had a dynasty until 1961.)
Same for the Burundi Kingdom (17th Century-1966) and the Buganda Kingdom (14th Century-1966). Finally, the iron industry in pre-colonial Africa could have been pretty interesting to mention.
The editing on this is superb and really nails the information. I appreciate this very much.
put together an Amazing Time line!
i LOVE THIS mans videos. I hope he does more on the kongo.
This is very well done and i wish you good luck on all your future projects!
I am a north african, half berber and half tuareg, and my home is Africa
I’m Moroccan I enjoy this video
Bless mother Africa 🤲🏽🤲🏽
Damn Home team you killing them this year
This is thorough, bro!
How could you forget the D'mt empire of Ethiopia and Eritrea established in 980 bc. Other than that a good video!!
jontish I don't think there is a lot known about it
Actually according to his timeline Aksum was only founded in 100 AD.
PSA2 D'mt was founded in 980 BBC
My bad!
Theman controlled the Red Sea as well as some parts of the Arabian peninsula . A lot of scholars distance the Yemeni kingdom(sabean) from the D'mt empire but they have found a palace in Eritrea with inscription dating to 600 BBC saying that a D'mt king ruled the sabeans. To add to all this, there have been found several artifacts and writings in Yemen in the D'mt script.
This proves we were far more advanced then Europe and Portugal. If our ancestors had not been blinded by trinkets we would never have been in this situation. Also, shows our people has always been divided unless someone or group could hold the ethnic groups together . Unfortunately history is repeating itself . How do we fix this problem? How do we get everyone to stop looking at riches and become interested in fixing our failed system ? I will share and support your website because knowledge is power and I must learn more about my history . It’s calling to a deep part inside of my soul.
We were so divided because the terrain made is unification difficult. There are many navigable rivers. That's why the linguistic diversity was maintained for such a long period.
The import horses and camels helped but when the Songhai fell, things fell into disarray a bit. Same thing happened to Europe when Rome fell.
We must now find a way to integrate our economies by rail infrastructure to strengthen trade and prosperity.
Chyna doll Lawd your comment....This doesn't necessarily prove "we were far more advanced than Europe and Portugal" (btw Portugal is part of Europe)... What this prove is the lies being told that Africans including descents of Africans didnt create civilizations/empires/settlements, writing scripts/language, historical battles/wars, architecture, religion, trade routes, art, and textile. Hometeam's video doesn't even go in depth about these different empires and their achievements/advancements of technology. He has others that do but this was simply a timeline of ancient Africa up to today (kinda).
well said, but one also must understand that Africa is a continent almost twice or three times the size of North America and at least 10 time the size of Europe and within it are thousands of languages,sub- languages, religions and cultures. i dont even think Ghengis Khan could have United all of Africa. I do how ever think a Confederacy would have stopped Europe in its tracks.
LOUDxHippy -- I agree. We shouldn't be so braggadocious about these kinds of things. It'll only illicit negative reactions. Just appreciate, learn and build for the future.
The reason why people are so hostile towards African history is because we always so quick to compare with Europe as if we have some complex and are trying to prove a point. Confident people don't act that way.
LOUDxHippy word
As you know, there is so much more but this my dear Scholar, was an outstanding start!
This is powerful information and presented in a way that speaks highly of both the scholarship and the scholar behind it. An invaluable resource.
Excellent video. Fascinating history and I love the music.
How do I see it only today??!
C'est magnifique !!
Exciting video overflowing with life
So in summary, West Africa's down fall was precipitated by the Morrocan invasion. In other words, the Moors caused West Africa's dark ages.
blakjak38 civil wars and lot of ethnic diversity
Morrocan just come to finish it off.
To add to the other comment, Moroccans were also not the Moors entirely, the Moors were largely driven out before the Spanish Inquisition in the 1400's n settled all over North Africa some back to Arabia
The Moors were not from Arabia, they were indigenous people called 'imazighen' but just Arabized through culture. The arabization of Africa ruined North Africa the most. The idea of the Maghrebs should have never existed if you ask me.
geerenmo Idk how true that is because I don't know much about the imazigh before arabization. All I know is that the Spanish described the Moors as tall dark and Diabolical in their records once they usurped them. But to be fair I find it hard to believe because they brought vast order cleanliness and beautiful architecture to the Iberian Peninsula during their reign which was only due to arabization. N honestly I don't know about Africa being too bad due to arabization as opposed to colonization from Europe or their meddling in African affairs
Barry, I know it's true because I have been looking into it. All the dynasties were Imazighen who were arabized through culture. They brought some good shit but no one should be colonizing anyone. And the Arabs and Europeans did screw up Africa, both are guilty because they were into slavery, also the plundering of resources of course. So screw them both.
Never have I seen a video so captivating and convincing. I wish real African history will be taught in all African schools. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Absolutely stunning. I have to admit, you are a blessing. Knowlege is key and you are a true historian and teacher. God bless!
Another fantastic piece of work from you - it was so good I had to watch it twice - this was visualy splendid as alwaysI thought the music added greatly to the overall presentation - Thank You
Abyssinian Empire was not founded in in 1137. It is a continuation of and another name of Axumite Empire.It is a pre-christian empire.If you look at the architectural remnants of Axumite civilization, you will notice curved at the top of the Axum Obelisk (still standing in Northern Ethiopia) a symbol depicting the eye of Horas. Those days, the axumites (today Ethiopians and Eritreans) were not christian yet; rather part of the mystery system of the ancient Kemit religion.
The chart and board is well thought and planned out
I'm glad you showed the REAL Berbers, not those Arabized ones 💯
Peanut Butter on some real talk...
What's that supposed to mean?
@@j0nni235 people think berbers are a race and can only be white or arab descent when there are black berbers as well
People love to say that Tuaregs represent the berber race as a whole while many of the Tuaregs actually look more caucasian than subsaharan,they might have also forgot that Tuaregs actually count as just 5% of all the north african Berbers.
@@ElijahShawmaliciousboy
@@anismerabet9160 Please read what I said, I never said that all berbers are black, I said that they are not a homogenous group and can have skin colors ranging from light to dark. And most Tauregs are dark skin. www.taneter.org/berbers.html. Additionally, Tauregs are not the only group of black berbers
"Five major tribes of Berbers were spoken of by early Muslim writers including the Sanhaja, Masumuda Zenata, Ketama and Goddula which were categorized into dozens of others which in turn were divided into many more. Among them were the early Kabyles originally a group of Sanhaja Berbers. Most descriptions refer to the modern Kabyles as fair-skinned, but in the 19th century and early 20th, descriptions and in fact many photographs depict them as dark and near black. (Photos from the 19th century show both very dark-skinned and near white skinned Kabyle individuals from different villages in the region).
1890 - “The Kabyles or Kabaily of Algerian and Tunisian territories…besides tillage, work the mines contained in their mountains…They live in huts made of branches of trees and covered with clay which resemble the Magalia of the old Numidians…They are of middle stature, their complexion brown and sometimes nearly black.” Written in The Encyclopedia Britannica: Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and General Literature Henry G. Allen Company p. 261 Volume I 1890."
Thank you for this amazing work. I will share with my children, grandchildren, friends and on FB. Extraordinary!!!1
This clip left me very emotional and proud at the same time..keep up the good work bro.
Another fantastic video presentation - so good I watched twice. I liked this format using the map - Continents landscape and the music for added drama - this was visually very informative. I really appreciate your creative talent and desire to share knowledge - Thank You for sharing your gift.
Thank you for this video. I can't wait to dive into your channel and learn more. And the music!!! 💕
This video was not only informative but 🔥 as well, the music was dope to
High praise to the home team. Excellent video. Keep them coming bro. 👍🏾👍🏾
This is a tonne of information here music in the background make me fell I actually in Africa I'm proud to be an African in the diaspora I think there should be a movie so much greatness to be shown to the world
Loved it thank you! Could you please also do a time line for migration, I'm so interested in knowing how and why we moved to different parts of the continent. As a South African I've just learned we migrated from West Africa, mainly due to slave capturing/trades. But not to say Southern Africa wasn't already inhabitat. I'm really interested in the times when we were a small population and how we started growing and break apart to form the different tribes we have. Thank you!
I will like to see what that racist Jared Taylor have to say about this
And again brother for your amazing work God bless you
kader dao You've been seeing his videos lately too?? I don't know why his nonsense appeared on my timeline, but I was surprised nobody has taken to debunking it.
Who cares what he think, white supremacists views will never change. Don't waste time trying to debunk and debate these fools
Yes
What in the hell is a Jared Taylor? Don’t waste your time on those channels,
You’re doing nothing but adding to their view counts.
Denial. He would describe this as fantasy. Sadly, the real fantasy is believing whites aren't prone to violence. Shoutout from Florida!
Beautiful keep up the good work
Nice one. Missed some important ones but not bad
This is Incredible...I've Often Dreamed of Making a Cartoon like Video of this Stuff, Quick & Fast for the Public to get an Idea of True History . I do Believe Even Earlier Ethiopia Branched into the Middle East Helping Create Those Regions while Possibly Creating Nubia too
This was very interesting and I will definitely be studying about the African continent .
Thank you
Absolutely fantastic!! Love your content, and this was no exception. This should be shared in classroms. Wish it mentioned the "Bantu Expansion."
I would love to see a movie where there is a queen who is ruler of her tribe in Africa, then one day something happens to where she wakes up in modern time and she meets her doppelgänger. Then she learns everything that has happened and sees how we are, then makes it her mission to teach modern day civilians about our history and she gets close with her doppelgänger. Then the same “something” that happened to her for her to get to modern day happens again and she goes back home and runs and tells her tribe the whole story. Don’t mind my thoughts though
Beautiful piece within the confines of the visual very artistic and stylized and yet informative thank you for blessing us with this information
I love the quality of your documentation. Thank you
Good luck in presenting these video's! Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this channel! I love history and African history is most fascinating!
excellent video. I only want to add little correction concerning Ethiopia. You rightly mentioned about Axum, the Ethiopian emoire which distroyed the Sudanese Kush empire. But it also has ruled the Southern Arabia for atleast 2 centuries.
Later the kingdom didnt collapse, rather it is replaced by Zagwe dynasity. The first emperor of the Zagwe is the Son in low of the last emperor of Axum.
The Zagwe dynasity built 11 rock hewn churches, which are UNESCO heritage sites and are still serving as a church.
When the Zagwe dynasity weakened it was replaced by the Solomonic dynasity. The first Emperor of the solomonic dynasity is the 11th generation great grand son of the last Emperor of Axum. The Zagwe dynasity peacefully handed over its throne to the Solomonic dynasity in the 12th century. This video put that time as the foundation of Abyssinian empire. But in reallity the empire was there. There was only a dynasity change. The Solomonic dynasity ruled for 800 years until HaileSelassie was overthrown by the military junta.
The main point Government in Ethiopia existed for 2000 years uninturrupted.
Thank you for referring to the empire in its correct name Kemet instead of the kkkavedweller & White Supremacist term "Ancient Egypt".
Nothing was "built in Egypt" and everything was gentrification & culture vultured by Egypt. (i.e. Eminem & Elvis)
It pisses me off to no end when "Niggros" in BLK face do that. It shows a contempt for the truth and the ancestors as well as BLK ppl.
Respect BLK man.
Keep up the excellent work.
Just a note:
The modern Chinese & Jaanese writing systems also come from the Medu Netur. Shouts out from Tokyo.
bishap global86 what egypt was originally called
Chinese and Japanese do not come from Khamit you rat
Iota Tangle
Oh right … you know more than the University of Tokyo & I just happen to live here.
Interesting … unwarranted & unprovoked insults?
Seriously ?
Reading comprehension is a skill you do not possess. Your spelling leaves much to be desired. So you have no business commenting upon "WRITING SYSTEMS" you're simply unqualified.
Have a seat … "you rat".
Xaviar St. Thomas hahaha now you're thieving ass is going to act like those universities are saying that lmmfao
Iota Tangle
This is ridiculous & completely unwarranted.
"Thieving ass" ? Seriously ?
How completely pathetic, non-constructive, childlike & unnecessary your commenting is.
Please take your childishness, emotional issues & uncivil behavior and Troll … elsewhere.
Incredibly well done. Thank you.
Excellent work!!! You have the most amazing page!
Outstanding prodcution! Now it makes sense why the singer Ashanti had the artist name Ashanti... ♡♡♡ xx..
I was glued to the screen the whole time
This is a brilliant assemblage of African History, thank you for this!!
I love the Home Team! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!
