Thank you for sharing this with the world. I was introduced to your video by a history professor at Columbia Theological Seminary in Georgia, United States. Prior to this, I was ignorant of the pains and hurts that happened in this horrific place. I am in tears just thinking of the sort of pain your ancestors experienced here. I pray for your wellbeing, the ancestors' spirits, their descendants, and our world - that such horror as this will cease. My heart aches. I'm sharing this video with others who are as ignorant as I was. Thank you for making this effort to educate us.
The thought of all of this is devastating. I just think about how uncomfortable everything was right down to sitting on the hard ground everyday. Looking forward to visiting.
Finally! I love what you are doing, informative and very much needed information. May Oya carry you safely around the world. May your Ori always keep you alert, healthy and assist your projects to grow. Aseooo
Thank you brother! The door of No return has inspired the door of our return! It's amazing how a global movement toward the return to the mother land is in full swing!! Children of the diaspora you are welcome back to AFRIKA!! Come to AZANIA!! look me up! #afroruss
Thank you bro u showed us what we all have to go and do for our ancestors the castle is still intact compare to Gorè in Senegal and Zanzibar in Tanzania that government hide things and change the decor for the eyes of our oppressors
I visited there when I was 16 (10 years ago) when I went into the female dungeon, I could smell that smell too.. I could feel the presence of the ancestors. I started to cry
Thank you brother !!! Victory over the enemy. Kick them all out of Africa and let the continent Africans and the Africans of the diaspora work together and build Africa.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE PLACE IN PERSON....THE SMELL OF DEATH AND DESPAIR IS THERE!!!...WHEN I TELL YOU I CRIED FROM BEGGING TO END OF THIS TOUR!!! I FEEL THE ANCESTORS TALKING TO ME WHILE I WAS THERE!!! LISTEN... TO ALL IF MY PEOPLE; YOU MUST GO AND TRAVEL TO GET A REAL SINCE OF WHERE IT ALL BEGAN. THIS EXPERIENCE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
datgurlky1 why would you destroy history that reminds us where we came from? You destroy sites like this and future generations will only have pictures and videos which is nothing compared to experience something in real life
ONE TRUE GOD I understand what you’re saying and I do agree it’s time for the African and African American cultures to get the recognition they deserve from cultural appropriation but at the same time no society should erase their history. We can read about Slave castles in books and online all day but it will never compare to the actual feeling of being there and taking in the environment with all your senses. You get a true grip of life and it sinks you down to reality real quick compared to sitting in a comfortable environment and reading or watching a video.
Daniel John H Well maybe it's good for some of us .... But I myself see nothing but what we have always been taught, slave's .... How about Ghana work on giving black people in the America's some type of reparations since they are so aware of what was done to us? There's no action in dwelling on something tragic without healing !!!!
Yahudah/Judah we did this to ourselves because we made a promise to The Most High YAH and we sat in his face a lied to him. And we were lead into captivity. Yisrael wake up and come back to the covenant we broke with our Elohim.
We are punished according to what u just said but murders, rapists, thieves and liars are given a free pass. Now this same god said no man shall steal, murder because it wrong in his eyes. Sorry i can't accept what u said that we are being punished while others are given a free hand to do evil.
Tourism money, where did 5 million Africans go ,they didn't come to none of the the south and North America's so WHERE. Bullshit we was already here in America
Those were Hebrew Israelites who were enslaved. They ran from ROMAN persecution in the land of israel into west africa and were enslaved by the Arabs first then the rest of the nations..
Yoooooo please ooo. Stop mentioning anything about these our ancestors were Hebrew Israelites enslaved. I have traveled to Africa and spend time in Ghana and Benin. No of my people talk about Hebrew

Hello
The weight of that place must have been simply immense.
What’s worse about what the enslaved Africans went through in Elmina Is that things would only get worse once they got to America 😢
@B. Lukee quakers
Thank you brother. I'm leaving AmeriKKKa behind for good. I'm ready. 2019 is the Year of Return
Herley Taylor i wanna leave too
@Joe M nobody did say this. Thousands of years ago men forced men to be their property. The old Egyptians, the Romans, the Arabs before Islam...
I’m Muslim and I can feel this😔 it breaks me my ancestors my ancestors
This has broke my heart
Know your history or else you end up repeating it again....🙏 you are the reflections of your shortcomings into the past present
It's a shame to humanity
Thank you bro u showed us what we all have to go and do for our ancestors the castle is still intact compare to Gorè in Senegal and Zanzibar in Tanzania that government hide things and change the decor for the eyes of our oppressors
Now why in the heck do we all have to go do this??
I hope Ghanian people are the ones that are actually profiting from these tours.
Why???
@@nmagain24 because it would be wrong from outsiders to come their and have a business of tours of these events
I think it is Ghana 🇬🇭, am I missing something
@@nmagain24 why shouldnt they....smh, I agreed with you on the renovation part but now it seems like you're just saying why cause you dont give af
Of course Ghanian profit from Tours, they run all the tours
I visited there when I was 16 (10 years ago) when I went into the female dungeon, I could smell that smell too.. I could feel the presence of the ancestors. I started to cry
Natalie you could smell their odor 😔 still after 300 years wow it’s deep
I went 10 years ago as well with my Church. Coming here changed my life! I can still feel the feeling of being there till this day.
Thank you brother !!! Victory over the enemy. Kick them all out of Africa and let the continent Africans and the Africans of the diaspora work together and build Africa.
Agree, but there is nothing wrong to get help from friends.
Thank you 🙏🏾
This video needs to be shown for Black History Month instead of the same old stories they tell us every year
truth is i was there, he was there, you were there, many hundreds of years ago, we just forgot, but slowly we are remembering...saddened
Awesome BaBa

Wow
WOW FOR REAL WATCHED IT ALL THE WAY FROM JAMAICA
so sad
"Tare them down, tare all of those blasted slave castles down..."
No i won't it's part of the next generations identity they have to know what our forfathers went through
@@anniemwangula2483 you have an African last name did your forefather catch and sell slave for profit???
Looking at this place is like looking at the rebel flag in the states
@@keltonstevens4068 I agree 100%
Ghana still has it sitting there? Ready to try it again huh!
Right. I don't see the point in keeping that. Tear it down. Let those souls be free!
datgurlky1 why would you destroy history that reminds us where we came from? You destroy sites like this and future generations will only have pictures and videos which is nothing compared to experience something in real life

That is a symbol that never again should you guys harm Africans again
Yahudah/Judah we did this to ourselves because we made a promise to The Most High YAH and we sat in his face a lied to him.
And we were lead into captivity.
Yisrael wake up and come back to the covenant we broke with our Elohim.

Remember it was greed that started the slave trade !gold once no one could trade with money!,goods next
We waiting for the enemy the second.
Who enslaved them?
Those were Hebrew Israelites who were enslaved.
They ran from ROMAN persecution in the land of israel into west africa and were enslaved by the Arabs first then the rest of the nations..
Yoooooo please ooo. Stop mentioning anything about these our ancestors were Hebrew Israelites enslaved. I have traveled to Africa and spend time in Ghana and Benin. No of my people talk about Hebrew
That is very horrible.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Wow
