    I've always been fascinated by the Swahili City-States. They are one of the many places I wish I could see them in their prime.
    Also I agree that history enthusiasts refer to them collectively so much that we sometimes forget that they never formed a collective body.

    I suspect that the Hanseatic league was dwarfed by the Swahili cities in their wealth and influence. I was once an intern for a Kenyan anthropologist who specialized in the origins of the Swahili cities and how their textiles reflect their relationships and history.

    Im from TANZANIA . People of Kilwa started to use money long time ago. And they use to build houses by using limestone as clement. Thus why people adopt limestone to build huge building. People of Kilwa are matumbi(are Ngoni tribe from southern TANZANIA),makua tribe and ndengereko. All those tribe are BANTUS. They built houses before Arab came there or white people came. You can find also Mombasa they will tell you . When the city was beautiful and nice thus why they came and move away BANTUS. So BANTUS did not settled, because people are captured and taken to the Arab countries to build houses as slave engineers. Thus why slave started.demand of people to build the houses in Arab countries increases. BANTUS people had skills to build houses and design them. So people started to move one place to another to hide interior into the forest. No time to establish anything cause it was the war between BANTUS and also fearing captured by Arab people.

      Africa to Arabia. I am very
      Certain that stone town in
      Zanzibar was built centuries
      Before the Omanis by Africans. The Omanis just augmented to the constructions that was already
      Here when they arrived. Mosques and islamic design of construction were introduced during their time here. Most of the civilization here was home grown.

    The insane part is that cities like Great Zimbabwe prove that Africans in this area are fully capable of building stone walls and structures. Kilwa was done with Arab help, and outright ruled by hybridized Arabs, but Great Zimbabwe was entirely indigenous.
    This proves that it is not beyond their ability to build civilizations, so why did they evolve backwards? By the nineteenth century, the ruins of Great Zimbabwe were under the yoke of the Zulu hordes, who lived in mud huts and were too primitive to forge steel. They had to rely on pig iron, bronze leather, and stone. I can not think of any civilizations that went _backwards_ outside of Africa.

      The cities are still there, but they were plundered by Portugal, the first modern European empire, and the Dutch, British and Germans divided the Portuguese empire among themselves as it declined.

      Mombasa is one of the cities you can visit. Also Zanzibar and Lamu still are there. Dar es Salam is technically one of the cities but doesn't have an old time as it was built on top of it. You can visit the ruins of the grand kilwa palace too . It really because of European . They came and made the people think they where friendly. Then turn around and back stabbed them. Same in West Africa with the former Mali city states.

    can you talk about how routine circumcision was pushed on Africa and to this day is favoured by interest groups and the personal charities of billionaires despite the lack of evidence for its benefits and all the studies supposed to prove it being disproved and the many harms it can cause. it's also quite strange how Africa is campaigned to remove the female circumcision without any interest in the males

    • @YB--iy8nh
      @YB--iy8nh 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well it started in trying to control male sexuality and discouraging boys from masturbating. In some culture its oppressive as it puts pressure on men to fit expectations of toughness. Just how women are opressed to be womanly and not care about sexual pleasure for their husbands.
      It is done in women as a result in a beleif in cleanliness and religion too. all the suupossed evidence has been disproved.It actually causes more harm the later you are in life from the procedure because without the skin the glans will desensitize and this gets worse over time and in men where it doesn't it causes constant irritation.
      Side effects include a massive increase in chances of a painful disease known as meateal stenosis ,a massive loss in sensetivity, dryness, pain,tight and bleeding erections, frenulum amputation, it also means there's no skin to masturbate with or for women to play with during sex making lubrication necessary. It can cause erectile dysfunction and make precum extremely less likely making things drier. It also changes the shape of the penis so that lubrication is removed making a drier experience. It can have deep psychological effects. It causes an ugly dark scar and makes the penis two different colours. It makes the glans more rough pale Dry and cracked looking and overalls makes the penis looks be more dry.

No civilization can hardly stand once that happens . Yet Africa still rises . What happened to the MesoAmerican civilizations when the Spanish and Portuguese arrived? They were nearly destroyed . So much so Africans were brought there as force labor to grow and mine the resources . And as for Europe ? They had very little resources until they went and conquered others lands. Their math , science even religion not indigenous to their lands

      Jack Pratt you are a sick weak apologist, Baghdad was back on its feet in 15 years after the sack by Temurid, Singapore build itself from a mudpool to a fantastic paradise in a single generation, Greeks got back up and conquered the Persian empire after the burning of Athens, i can name thousends of examples where people got back up from severe hardship. also manpower was needed in the amerikas because 90% of the native population died of Afreurazian deseases (which sadly was an unavoidable disaster that would happen upon contact with the rest of the world sooner or later) it was basicly empty land again. Also nearly every land on earth was at some point plunderd and pillaged to the bone, Europe and the middle east more so then any other place perhaps. Afrika destroyed their own advancement when they left all the European high tech infrastructure to rot in the sun when the latter left the place. Afrika needs to stop whining and start grinding like the rest of the world. But the easy way is ofc to let the Chinese colonize the place again and cry in bed blaming Europe.
