Mali was one of the most urbanised places on Earth at the time, and was larger than any contemporaries in Europe. If you had to live anywhere in the 14th Century, Mali would probably be up there.
Bruh, come on. Queen Nzingha (1583-1663) was a 17th-century queen of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in what is known as Angola today.[1] Born into the ruling family of Ndongo, Nzinga demonstrated an aptitude for defusing political crises in her capacity as ambassador to the Portuguese, and later assumed power over the kingdoms after the death of her brother. She ruled during a period of rapid growth in the African slave trade. Her reign lasted 37 years. Nzinga fought for the freedom and stature of her kingdoms against the Portuguese,[1] who were concentrating their efforts towards South West Africa, in attempts to control the slave trade.[2] Today, she is remembered in Angola for her intelligence, her political and diplomatic wisdom, as well as her brilliant military tactics. A major street in Luanda is named after her, and in 2002 a statue of her in Largo do Kinaxixi, Luanda, Angola was dedicated by then-President Santos to celebrate the 27th anniversary of independence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nzinga_of_Ndongo_and_Matamba
My personal favorite has to be Hannibal. The mind games that he played on the Romans, the psychology he used to motivate his men, and the way he treated them like he had their backs have to be my favorite characteristics of his.
@Siafu 1. Yes. After many generations of living in Iceland, they should be wholely considered as full Icelanders. 2. George Washington was a great American. He was not/should not be considered as an European. Also, MLK was a great American. He was not/should not be considered as an African. 3. Africa is and has always been multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural.
This is so interesting! I grew up in Malawi where we would learn mostly African history at school. When I moved back to Germany I knew more about African history than my own history teacher lol. Needless to say, we were really only taught western history in Germany, so it’s wonderful to have a source of information on African history in this channel. Thank you!
All the ones you mentioned are great legends, but I'd like to add Menelik II who rallied his local army and defeated the Italian army in 1896 to make Ethiopia the only African nation not colonized by Europeans.
So true. Emperor Menelik during his time was the only African ruler who conquered COLONIALISM. He started the modernization of his country. He was also fighting to abolish slavery.
As a Zulu man myself, I am proud that my ancestor, Inkosi yamaZulu uShaka was included ✊🏾! Another legendary figure I would like to have seen was Imhotep.
Rodrick Hayes No he spent a bunch of gold(a huge bunch) making Southern Europeans and Arabs interested in Africa, then sold a lot of slave through the Sahara. If anyone from Mali deserves a mention it should be Sundiata Kieta. Musa just squandered Mali’s wealth
Anyone who knows a lot about African history knows it's virtually impossible to determine the most legendary African historical figure. There were so many truly great legendary African figures that managed to stand out. Many of them have already been mentioned on this blog already. However, as more & more African history & historical African figures come to light, the more Non Africans try to claim everything as their own creation. And that's something we can't allow to happen. So we need to do our own research & gather FACTS to replace the FICTION that's far too often being presented in place of FACTS.
I like to add that he’s a major influence in the Eurocentric world or western civilization. The others mentioned in this video stayed on the African continent.
@@fluff5 he was black and if you know some real Italians from Italy especially Sicily, they let you know he was black. some Spanish people have black in them also because of Hannibal's army.
I'd like to say, I love this channel. We don't get a chance to learn much about African history, at least I didn't. I think it benefits everyone to learn about history, even if it's not your own.
The most "Legendary" I would say are ALL of the enslaved African ancestors, particularly the ones who had to endure the collective horrors they had to in order to produce.....us, ALL of us!

Jeff Bezos is currently almost HALF of what Mansa Musas wealth was estimated to be. These are different times and dude is hella hella hella hella rich. As a matter of fact, if he hadnt given a quater of his stock share to his wife in there divorce, he would currently be a lil more than half of what Musa was estimated to be worth. He's gonna be "richest man who ever lived" status very soon, im guessig within the next 5 years. Musa was estimatedto be worth about 400 billion.

Hometeam history , i really wish you would read more primary sources on Taharka because you fell to mention that Taharka calls himself "Emperor of the World". i quote from the Kawa Stela "My father Amun commanded me to place every land and country beneath my feet southward to Re Retehu Qabet (the known world in the south) Northward to Qebh-Hor (the known world of the north), eastward to the rising sun and westward to its setting.) lines 15-16 from kawa temple. Piankhi is only known because his military stela still survives to this day, however the ancient kemet and kush sources clearly point out that Taharka was greater. Taharka was only defeated in his old age, when he was no longer the great warrior he used to be.
Can you please make a video about Moshoeshoe I? He was born around the same time as Shaka but he was more diplomatic and he also founded the country of Lesotho.
Thank you once more for the great video. Imagine what the world would have been if Hannibal had defeated Rome... I would add Queen Amanirenas to the list.
A. Rogado, definitely Queen Amanirenas! Not only was she a strong black woman ruler but she thwarted the advances of Rome and defended her people from them. Why is Hannibal represented as non-Afrikan (pink person)?
Don't dispute the legendary status of the others but for me others could be added, but me as a person who identifiers as umZulu, uMandlesilo kaSenzangakhona aka Shaka Zulu will always be that guy who got me obsessed with history. For me he is the greatest of all greats rulers, kings, generals and warriors who ever roamed the continent.
Home Team ,thanks very much for the wonderful work you are doing in educating and teaching us the very rich and fascinating African history and Civilisations, making nonsense and ridiculous all those who attempted to dehumanize Black Africans saying that they " have no history , no culture and no civilisattion". Keep up your good work with your dedication ! We very much appreciate your efforts May The Good Lord strengthen you.
I have to say all of those who you brought up, but Kandake Amanirenas should also be apart. All of them show the greatness of what is in Africa and the very essence of what it means to know yourself
Haile Selasie as well. He was a great general who defeated the Italians and was respected and hailed throughout the world. He was also exalted into a deity, he’s a movement, a god, a symbol of freedom and revolutionary etc. so I’ll say H.I.M.
History is one of the most important things to know and to learn the Great Marcus Mosiah Garvey says that a people without is origin is like a tree without root give Thanks Onelove
I agree with the comment below about Queen Nzingha. You gotta have an African woman in there. Though no amount of list can match up to the achievements of African women and women of the African diaspora. Also I agree on Hannibal Barça. Can’t support you on Patron because of covid 19 and my job loss. However I will support you on TH-cam and hopefully you’ll schedule and do a live stream one day just to interact with your fans. Also you should consider covering the black plague -a 12th century epidemic or pandemic and how Africans brought Europe out of it. Africans brought Europe out of the dark ages too. We’re in a pandemic right now, it’s good to learn something about our African history that relates to the current pandemic and gives us hope.
Emperor Haile Selassie, king of kings, lords of lords conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, power of the Holy trinity, elect of God.🇪🇹 No man on earth has ever had such a title.🇪🇹 Rained from the Solomonic dynasty

Well all have to eat but we can't all be farmers. Knowledge is specialization! Which is appreciation in the mind. On the tip of a realization! The origin of civilizations who survived the exinction of ourselves! That's a fact! It's better to be wise than strong! To be the friend of my enemy, should not impale us on it's harshness! The earth is an open hand to the universe! Where all spirit must dwell in peace! The evolutionary Bhudda! Save your pride for your death. As life expands, it's molecules become our mind!

Plants have the most memory, then comes the air! But because it's, ever so slight, subtle, we have to hold it gently. But, because our bodies are oversaturated in sugar and salt, we are fixated on nervousness. For the younger generation, being nervous is their normal!
I would have to say Emperor Haile Selassie. He gave black people worldwide a sense of pride to this very day. Ethiopia has the dopest history to me and I hope to visit there one day.
I would say Nimrod but maybe I am going back too far. Maybe the Brother is only referring to "modern history". Thanks for the videos Brother, I definently will be donating to further future production.
I want to thank you once again for this work you are doing. The power of knowing who we are and where we come from is an effective remedy for psychological oppression created by the oppressors during apartheid! We need this.

Hannibal, Queen Nyabinghi, SET, Heru, Akhenaten, Djoser, ThutmoseIII, Tutankhamun, AmenhotepIII, RamesesII, Septimus Severus, Tariq ibn Ziyad, Yaa Asantewaa, Hatshepsut, Ezana of Axum, Nefertiti, Sundiata Kieta, Taharqa, Sonni Ali, Osei Kofi Tutu, Narmer, SeostrisIII... just to name a few of course
My top 5: Mecheldic(Abraham’s priest), Moses, Hannibal, Shaka Zulu, and David. Also we have Saul, Patrice Lamumba, Nasir, Kadafi, Amin.(forgive misspellings)
I think that the Nubian area restore of Egypt to the main front of morals and culture was great. It showed the put a campaign to go from Kush to only restore order. I was one who kept comment to you to put Hannibal back in the front minds of man. And Gangis Kahn about his tactics to when he traveled to Mecca and even learned new tactics and new Alliance as he was already great
It's between Imhotep and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah... The greatness must affect the whole continent if not the world.... And none can come before Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Imhotep
For most Ghanaians, it's the legendary Yaa Asantewaa because of her role in the fight against the British Forces. And hence became the defacto legendary figure & symbol for any Ghanaian Woman who's seen as fighting against injustices.
1) The founding of the Mali Empire dates to the 1200s, when a ruler named Sundiata Keita-sometimes called the “Lion King”-led a revolt against a Sosso king and united his subjects into a new state. Under Keita and his successors, the empire tightened its grip over a large portion of West Africa and grew rich on trade. Its most important cities were Djenné and Timbuktu, both of which were renowned for their elaborate adobe mosques and Islamic schools. One such institution, Timbuktu’s Sankore University, included a library with an estimated 700,000 manuscripts. 2) The remains of a grand stone palace in Aksum, which is in present day Ethiopia, are believed to have been the home of the Queen of Sheba . There is no surviving record of what her real name was, but in North Africa today no one questions whether she was real or not. She is considered by Ethiopians to be the mother of their nation, and the founder of a dynasty which only died out with the last descendent, Haile Selassie in 1975. She is a well-documented historical figure in the Bible . 3) Mansa Kankan Musa - The Richest African Warrior Musa I was the tenth Mansa (sultan or king) of Mali. His reign was between 1312 and 1337 AD. He was an extremely powerful leader and under his leadership Mali was able to conquer 24 cities. He had a great deal of nick names and titles, including the ‘Lion of Mali’ and ‘Conqueror of Ghanata’. 4) Shaka Zulu Even today people know that the Zulu warriors were exceptionally skilled in combat. The military innovations adopted by Shaka Zulu helped to cultivate their warrior culture and fearsome reputation. But Shaka did not always resort to war, he was a skilled diplomat and was often able to negotiate with his adversaries. At the height of his ten year reign Shaka ruled over 250,000 people and commanded more than 50,000 warriors.

I was just about to say this
Thank you once more for the great video. Imagine what the world would have been if Hannibal had defeated Rome...
I would add Queen Amanirenas to the list.
A. Rogado, definitely Queen Amanirenas! Not only was she a strong black woman ruler but she thwarted the advances of Rome and defended her people from them. Why is Hannibal represented as non-Afrikan (pink person)?
Make a video on Samori Toure and his Mandinka wars!
He had been manufacturing gun powder and gave the French a good run.
All of them or great in their own unique ways.
Good job bro! i love the epic soundtracks
Don't dispute the legendary status of the others but for me others could be added, but me as a person who identifiers as umZulu, uMandlesilo kaSenzangakhona aka Shaka Zulu will always be that guy who got me obsessed with history. For me he is the greatest of all greats rulers, kings, generals and warriors who ever roamed the continent.
Home Team ,thanks very much for the wonderful work you are doing in educating and teaching us the very rich and fascinating African history and Civilisations, making nonsense and ridiculous all those who attempted to dehumanize Black Africans saying that they " have no history , no culture and no civilisattion". Keep up your good work with your dedication ! We very much appreciate your efforts May The Good Lord strengthen you.
I have to say all of those who you brought up, but Kandake Amanirenas should also be apart. All of them show the greatness of what is in Africa and the very essence of what it means to know yourself
1 eyed Kush Queen who actually stopped Rome from going deeper into Africa.....
*Amanirenas
Haile Selasie as well. He was a great general who defeated the Italians and was respected and hailed throughout the world. He was also exalted into a deity, he’s a movement, a god, a symbol of freedom and revolutionary etc. so I’ll say H.I.M.
...but died and was buried in a latrine. Every legend needs a great end.
He was a criminal too he used to kill eritreans and was the reason socialism was introduced to Africa
Another legendary African figure that should be on the list is Thutmose III who never lost a battle and was the founder of the Egyptian empire
I got to say , what you do is amazing!! , please dont stop!!!
You forget the queen of Africa, Queen Nzingah. A woman with a man's heart.
History is one of the most important things to know and to learn the Great Marcus Mosiah Garvey says that a people without is origin is like a tree without root give Thanks Onelove
I agree with the comment below about Queen Nzingha. You gotta have an African woman in there. Though no amount of list can match up to the achievements of African women and women of the African diaspora. Also I agree on Hannibal Barça.
Can’t support you on Patron because of covid 19 and my job loss. However I will support you on TH-cam and hopefully you’ll schedule and do a live stream one day just to interact with your fans. Also you should consider covering the black plague -a 12th century epidemic or pandemic and how Africans brought Europe out of it. Africans brought Europe out of the dark ages too. We’re in a pandemic right now, it’s good to learn something about our African history that relates to the current pandemic and gives us hope.
Emperor Haile Selassie, king of kings, lords of lords conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, power of the Holy trinity, elect of God.🇪🇹 No man on earth has ever had such a title.🇪🇹
Rained from the Solomonic dynasty
He was a filthy midget coward & did not descend from Solomon
CERTAINLY NOT the LORD of Any Lord's!
@@LaReinaPrieta That was his title and you can't take that away from him. 72 nations came to witness his coronation.
@@KM-oj3nu
Jihadist spotted.
@@amanuelhaile9898 he is not a descendent of the solomic empire at all he is a coward
my very favorite histoical youtube videos u do a great job a terrific teacher hope young black youth watch ur show it will make them feel proud to be black
Ibn Batuta was a real legendary figure. His travels around the world were amazing.
My bad....but I just was remembered of Akhenaton (as well/to be considered). O'well I suppose we could do this all day. Thanks for your content... It's a honor to even know and discuss our ancestors together. I'm humbled by their names alone. All of them.
love your videos ! you have the most calming and attention keeping voice.
There are so many great kings, Queen's, Pharaohs, and Heroes, it's hard for me to choose.
Well Africa is big enough for all of em fasho , the images where do you get them?
Died laughing! Your on the 1! Space-time! The fat dick prophecy! Win the round women fat stomach special go double cellular, you'll be rich for life! Oh yeah? E skinny folk? We don't want prosperity, we want the farmer to help feed me! Not lying, that is one of the messages of Jesus. To repent from lying, about the promises of life death poverty and wealth. Well all have to eat but we can't all be farmers. Knowledge is specialization! Which is appreciation in the mind. On the tip of a realization! The origin of civilizations who survived the exinction of ourselves! That's a fact! It's better to be wise than strong! To be the friend of my enemy, should not impale us on it's harshness! The earth is an open hand to the universe! Where all spirit must dwell in peace! The evolutionary Bhudda! Save your pride for your death. As life expands, it's molecules become our mind! Let's not fight over it, let's praise it! Nature, will explain itself to itself, over time! We Got Time! We can minupulate space as proof, from childhood! I remember travelling to earth! Before I was born! I had a pre-existing journey! That's not religion, that's memory! But we say, only memories effect the future, my mother's body gives birth to me! My memory is stored in her birth! A child is a replication of a specific infinity! The children are the origin of the gods! Does that prevent me from putting a light to the candle of humanity! When on the waves of your inner light, all energy is within U! Go! Show us a revelation! But use humility, and don't question us about it! Their are 2 doors to the sun, walk in both, but not one above other, only side by side! Those 2 doors are the sum of a third door, it's a mystery! To enter, you must bow under the eternity above U! Then, do battle with your enemies, to gain entrance! But if you try to avoid the fight, a higher being intercedes on your behalf, and prepares U for the next lifetime. Only the battles changes form, but the mind remains formless! If you want, you can remember when you were a tree! Just as a tree can remember when it was a bush! Plants have the most memory, then comes the air! But because it's, ever so slight, subtle, we have to hold it gently. But, because our bodies are oversaturated in sugar and salt, we are fixated on nervousness. For the younger generation, being nervous is their normal!
@@ericrobinson7184 what?
@@ericrobinson7184 are you ok?🤔🤨
I would have to say Emperor Haile Selassie. He gave black people worldwide a sense of pride to this very day. Ethiopia has the dopest history to me and I hope to visit there one day.
I would say Nimrod but maybe I am going back too far. Maybe the Brother is only referring to "modern history".
Thanks for the videos Brother, I definently will be donating to further future production.
Your opinions on ramses the 2nd being a red head? This unveiling of his tomb is interesting.
My list is: Hannibal Barca, Shaka Zulu, Mansa Musa, Olaudah Equiano and Imhotep for now. Honourable mention: Queen of Sheba.
I agree with everyone that you listed.......
Fascinating brother.
GREAT video
I want to thank you once again for this work you are doing. The power of knowing who we are and where we come from is an effective remedy for psychological oppression created by the oppressors during apartheid! We need this. I am about to become a father! this content is what my child will know before hearing anything about european history! We are a great nation (and by nation i mean the continental and diasporic African people) and we come from greatness
Don't forget " The Great Elephant " . Shaka Zulu ( though a bit of a butcher) was a living legend.
Thank you for this information
Some of Hannibals tactics are used in American football plays designs
Just found your channel bro. I'm loving it!
Hannibal, Queen Nyabinghi, SET, Heru, Akhenaten, Djoser, ThutmoseIII, Tutankhamun, AmenhotepIII, RamesesII, Septimus Severus, Tariq ibn Ziyad, Yaa Asantewaa, Hatshepsut, Ezana of Axum, Nefertiti, Sundiata Kieta, Taharqa, Sonni Ali, Osei Kofi Tutu, Narmer, SeostrisIII... just to name a few of course
Love this topic and the pictures.
Let’s start looking forward my people, we are stuck in the past. This is great information, so what are we doing with this information?
This information strengths the soul of the people. Look through this thread. White folks still want black people to feel as if they came from shit smh
My top 5: Mecheldic(Abraham’s priest), Moses, Hannibal, Shaka Zulu, and David. Also we have Saul, Patrice Lamumba, Nasir, Kadafi, Amin.(forgive misspellings)
I think that the Nubian area restore of Egypt to the main front of morals and culture was great. It showed the put a campaign to go from Kush to only restore order. I was one who kept comment to you to put Hannibal back in the front minds of man. And Gangis Kahn about his tactics to when he traveled to Mecca and even learned new tactics and new Alliance as he was already great
It's between Imhotep and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah...
The greatness must affect the whole continent if not the world....
And none can come before Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and Imhotep
For most Ghanaians, it's the legendary Yaa Asantewaa because of her role in the fight against the British Forces. And hence became the defacto legendary figure & symbol for any Ghanaian Woman who's seen as fighting against injustices.
Excellent piece ! Were do you stand on jesus and moses as african figures ?
Shaka Zulu ive always been particular of. my son nickname is Boom Shaka
Taharka, Imhotep, Sundiata, Narmer, Rhamses, Piankhi
Amenhotep III would make my list...😉
Love the content
1) The founding of the Mali Empire dates to the 1200s, when a ruler named Sundiata Keita-sometimes called the “Lion King”-led a revolt against a Sosso king and united his subjects into a new state. Under Keita and his successors, the empire tightened its grip over a large portion of West Africa and grew rich on trade. Its most important cities were Djenné and Timbuktu, both of which were renowned for their elaborate adobe mosques and Islamic schools. One such institution, Timbuktu’s Sankore University, included a library with an estimated 700,000 manuscripts. 2) The remains of a grand stone palace in Aksum, which is in present day Ethiopia, are believed to have been the home of the Queen of Sheba . There is no surviving record of what her real name was, but in North Africa today no one questions whether she was real or not. She is considered by Ethiopians to be the mother of their nation, and the founder of a dynasty which only died out with the last descendent, Haile Selassie in 1975. She is a well-documented historical figure in the Bible . 3) Mansa Kankan Musa - The Richest African Warrior
Musa I was the tenth Mansa (sultan or king) of Mali. His reign was between 1312 and 1337 AD. He was an extremely powerful leader and under his leadership Mali was able to conquer 24 cities. He had a great deal of nick names and titles, including the ‘Lion of Mali’ and ‘Conqueror of Ghanata’. 4) Shaka Zulu
Even today people know that the Zulu warriors were exceptionally skilled in combat. The military innovations adopted by Shaka Zulu helped to cultivate their warrior culture and fearsome reputation. But Shaka did not always resort to war, he was a skilled diplomat and was often able to negotiate with his adversaries. At the height of his ten year reign Shaka ruled over 250,000 people and commanded more than 50,000 warriors.
King Menelik II of Ethiopia also beat the Italians in battle beating 20,000 troops in the late 19th century with all their guns and modern equipment.
keep it going bruh
Askia The Great, PEACE Virgin Islands. Give Thanks Brother GROIT. ✊
Bai Bureh from Temne tribe of Sierra Leone is another legendary african warrior.
