Knowing that people re-wrote history in order to elevate themselves and eliminate others is sometimes beyond what a person wants to understand. And realizing how effective and successful their mission was is down right frightening. Millions of people died believing misinformation about themselves and others.
Thanks! Thank you again Hometeam. Personally I always found Cush much more interesting than Egypt cause they built more pyramids and Cush's writing systems just look more creative in my opinion. But like the Nsude pyramids in Nigeria and the wall pyramid in Benin, its sad to hear about our Ancestors great structures being destroyed.

As a white Brit I was aware of the despoliation, destruction and denying of African cultures and the artifacts produced by them - but outright vandalism such as this is beyond shocking. The pillaging of Benin was bad but merely shows a continuation of a pattern of contempt
But you are not aware of the aliens who builded the piramids, lets cry a river and be sensitive, piramids are builded all over the planet included in europe, 100% proof its build by aliens and not humans.
@@Drose685 Why not ask the Aliens why the build piramids, why you cry about piramids, are you sesitive and angry? Do you have the IQ of a 6 year old kid? Why dont you cry at your mum?
My first MA is in Modern Middle Eastern studies and I had to take history courses as a result. Egypt was occupied by the British at this period and archaeology was very much unfortunately steeped in greed and politics in t his period. It was not uncommon that archaelogists were often intelligence agents or fortune hunters and it's depressing to think how much archaeology was really destroyed or outright plundered and survives to this day in some millionaire's home or corporation headquarters or a museum.
I remember in 1996 or 97 a mansion was being renovated in Scotland or England and the workers accidentally discovered a secret room and it was a storage room for ancient Egyptian artifacts that had been stolen when the original builder of the mansion lived in Egypt. Recently, back in August 2022, a famous architectural magazine, Architectural Digest, was caught photoshopping a hedge fund investor's home because it contained pillaged Khmer artifacts. But the idea that a major magazine actively photoshopped the stolen items and then downplayed their doing it. Architectural Digest should be shut down but it's alot more common than we realise and amazing how the public just free-passes this.
It is also verry sad that archeological artefacts and art objects are still allowed to be sold at auctions to rich dudes, who will hide them from everyone else. I think that should be illegal
Stuff like this angers me, they plundered many sites and then continued to claim Africa had nothing while taking our artifacts. They did this in various Zimbabwe ruins too but, instead of having professional excavations and getting the artifacts into musuems the fools melted the gold and threw away the other artifacts that would have yielded a lot of information like soap stone art artifacts. This is why you can only find very few examples of the art of my ancestors.
Kingdoms like Zimbabwe were NOT civilizations. They were and advanced culture but they had not reached yet the stage to be classified as civilization. Secondly, North Africa was NEVER part of “ African “ civilization. GEOGRAPHY DOES NOT EQUALS CULTURE OR CIVILIZATION. The fact that North Africa and regions below belong to African continent doesn’t mean they were your civilizations or your cultures.North Africa was ALWAYS part or related with Mediterranean world and Arabian peninsula.
@@st3019 Where did I make the argument you're arguing against exactly? Go forth and believe whatever you want. The point still stands many monument have been destroyed in search of treasures! Many artifacts have been taken from various significant sights all over the continent. Whether you believe the cultures and kingdoms were civilizations or not is irrelevant. As for your opinion regarding North Africa, 😂 if you want to exclude North Africa from the rest of the continent go ahead! Again where did I mention North Africa? Unless you're referring to Nubia aka Kush? What were they more Mediterranean and Arab too huh? Wow what a revelation! Let me guess they weren't black neither but, painted their skin is that it?
@@admirekashiri9879 i implore you save your breath, look at other posts and you will realise that this ST D (sScialmedia Transmitted Disease) is clearly one of those Devils coming to sow dsiscord. Not a civilisation they say Here with have one source describing a civilisation a"a society in an advanced state of social development (e.g., with complex legal and political and religious organizations" Great Zimbabwe fits that bill so wjo are they to suggest otherwise. Noting that great Zimbabwe wasnt one off there were numerous such settlements. It is apparent that these devils can dedicate so much time trying to be disparaging about other societies, i mean who does that. Only parasites, devils and those with low esteem. Otherwise why should it bother them that some people are exchanging conversation about their peoples past achievements. We dont have to forget these type of devils went out of their way to try and prove great Zimbabwe was not built by black African. Again you must be pure evil tor extremely sick o want to try to do such a thing, it beggars belief. But those devils are still at it today as you can see for yourself.
@@admirekashiri9879 Ok . Now , I don’t know where do you get that “ they claim Africa didn’t create anything “ . I’ve been studying history since 2005 and nobody told me or I never read any serious book when it says “ African societies didn’t create anything “. Many people like you like to use these euphemism to make others sound like haters or whatever. Nobody is saying that. Western civilization is a civilization of ideas which always have been challenged and are evolving over time . What some Europeans have said 100 years ago about civilizations of African continent is NOT what western civilization is about. We’re constantly changing our view on worlds history. You say “ they took our artifacts “ which is true. Unfortunately, invasion and colonialism go hand in hand with exploitation. But remember that in these museums where these artifacts are EVERYONE knows where they come from. Nobody is hiding anything today.Yes , I agree they should be returned back where they were taken but to argue that “ stolen artifacts are hidden history is ridiculous “. Some regions in the world suffered cultural loses which were much more devastating . The Balkans ( where I originally come from) was destroyed, looted , plowed by ottoman colonialism much more than most parts of Africa.
@@admirekashiri9879 I wasn’t referring to Nubia and Kush , and no they do not belong to Mediterranean world but they are connected with it due to Nile River through Egypt. Also ancient civilizations of Nile valley where heavily related with societies of arabian peninsula. The kingdom of ancient Ethiopia was founded by a semitic colony who was originally from Yemen. Now black Africans say that there was civilization there before semitic people were settled there, and honestly I don’t know if that is true . Ancient Nubians were dark ( most likely Nilotic people) skin but not Egyptians. Many black people say that Egypt was influenced by Nubians, again I don’t know that either. Many historians say Egypt, as a civilization was more connected with contemporary civilizations of ancient Middle East. I don’t know which one is true, about that.
First time watching. I’m about halfway through this video and had to look up 2 words already. Rebarbative and invidious. Slows me down but builds up my personal lexicon. I appreciate the concise yet atypical verbiage and I look forward to watching more. Great job thus far. I wish I knew more about African history, and here I am getting schooled! Thanks!
It's sad but nothing can be done about it. While the controversy around where the Egyptians came from can be frustrating to a person who has studied the pre-dynastic civilizations, and thus has already found the answer. It's very likely that we would've seen the same level of destruction to Egyptian monuments from Europeans in denial that black africans/sub-saharan Africans built such a beautiful civilization. I'm just glad that not everything was completely wiped out and that the achievements of the Kushite civilization was able to reach public domain.
I find the term sub-saharan African insulting. There were dark skin Africans living in the Sahara, and those that were not so dark skin native to the area who were African - and not Arab. There's not much that separates the Africans native to the Sahara and the Africans south of it, except for this imaginary separation of North Africa and "sub-saharan Africa".
then you would need to study pre dynastic civilization because a lot of it seems linked to the middle east. as there has been pottery found in egyptian areas in pre dynasty to have Mesopotamia pottery.
@@daedae1522 no ,more like a divided Egypt , Egypt had both a south kingdom in upper Egypt close to east Africa and a Lower kingdom close to the middle east , mina had to mix both to unit them after wining the battle against the north
@@danjones6702 then you need to study the Sahara which up until 8000 years ago was not desert. It was green and populated a clue to its population lay in places such as Uan Muhuggiag , present day Libya and Tassili Nadjer present day Algeria. These populations moved towards the Nile or southwards once the green belt receded. Interesting how there were signs of black Africans in what has now become the Sahara desert but little or no evidence of Asiatics are known south of the Sahara before or during these events. Upper Egypt where Egyptian civilisation started was deep in the south and on the door step of tropical Africa and the Kerma cultures. If they came from the north why would they bypass the fertile Nile delta and settle in areas where others had already settled.
I knew of this, but I didn’t know the largest pyramid was plundered nor did I know that it was a pyramid that belonged to the legendary Nubian Queen Amanishakheto herself. It angers me to no end that Africans, such as the Nubians & Egyptians didn’t outwardly forbid this, retrieving artifacts themselves carefully & respectfully. Thanks for your the more detailed look at this part of our history, HomeTeam.
Stop your misguided & utterly misinformed pointing of the finger of blame at " AfricAns 🤎" , innocent ∆ ∆ ∆FRIC∆NS , who were the ultmost victims of this desecration & wanton vandalism . If you knew your history just a little better , then you wouldn't wrongly rush to blame the actual victim of a crime. FYI , Sudan and Egypt at the time of the destruction , on that date in history , were under European COLONIAL RULE . So don't blame the innocent without knowing the history and the fact that a colonial government was in control .
Yeah I remember that scene on Black Panther the first one when Killmonger told that white museum curator. When she said they acquired them he was like no you stole them.
I’m pretty sure that scene was an homage to the opening scene of the Nigerian film “Invasion 1897” Plot: Story picks off from the narration of a young prince of Benin, who was arrested and brought to trial for stealing historical artifacts from a British museum and his journey into history to defend himself.

Interesting. I’m still new to learning about our Ancient peoples and hadn’t heard about this. Wasn’t aware of the pyramids in Sudan. Nor that they were actually tombs. The popular talk is of how the pyramids were not meant to be tombs. This gives me a lot to research. Thank you!
There were said to be between 1000-2000 pyramids in Sudan, all but the last 200-300 ruins remain.😥 Remember that Ancient Kush invaded and conquered Egypt. Spiritually, Kush and Egypt were almost identical.
@@activechuckss Yes and you can see concave pyramids in Sudan as they were trying to get them right. They were the ones who discovered the "pythagorean theorem" without which they wouldn't be able to make the pyramids meet at the top. But now that knowledge being credited to Pythagoras who went to study in Egypt. So no the pyramids were not built by aliens like they want people to believe to discredit the accomplishments of Africans.

@@TheDieselbutterfly Oppression of an entire people doesn’t have to personal. Your argument is an attempt to negate facts that entire populations and cultures have not been systematically attacked and/or dismantled, and still to this day, history is selective in telling certain truths that some may feel a threat to their power structures.
They always show Africa to be much smaller than its actual size on maps , The African continent has a land area of 30.37 million sq km (11.7 million sq mi) - enough to fit in the U.S., China, India, Japan, Mexico, and many European nations, combined .
The Sphinx was around before the Egyptians found it and changed the head from a lion to a Pharoah. Human history is much older than previously thought and Africa had to have had advanced civilizations we haven't discovered or that have been hidden from us.
The ancient culture surrounded the Mediterranean from Mesopotamia in the East to Morocco and Iberia in the West. It was one mega culture that included Africans, Europeans and everyone in between that traded, shared knowledge, technology and occasional warred.
Peace family, thanks for the info! Keep up the great work. I'd also add that Thomas Cromwell also conducted the destruction of all African aristocracy & presence in Europe. Every picture repainted, frescoes & statues torn down in a violent rampage to erase a powerful & intelligent people's legacy... Peace&BP from across the pond.
Do note that the Egyptian sultans also tried to destroy the pyramids at Gizeh, but after initial attempts had started was told it would ‘cost just as much to destroy them as to build them’ and gave up.
Becoming more aware of our ancestors and their culture is bittersweet. While I love seeing the knowledge and creativity they had, learning about all the ways people tried to destroy them is heartbreaking. I recently read about the Bamum kingdom and how Sultan Njoye created a writing system for their language and made books and schools to teach and learn it but the French exiled him and destroyed most of his works to the point that the language is now endangered.
@hometeamhistory can you please make a video about the flooding of Nubia via the Aswan High Dam in the 1960’s? I think it will give ppl an insight into the level of intentional destruction of Nubia that occurred. Thank you, love your work

I hoping that they start doing the underwater excavations from those pyramids before the water table rises any more there and even more history and treasure is lost. There are groups that are organizing diving expeditions under those pyramids to document and try to find things before the structures get damaged to the point where nothing is retrievable or before the water damages what is left to be found.....probably miles of painted walls that could tell books worth of info and who knows how many artifacts and even bodies that could be saved from eternal destruction, so to speak. Its important to remember also that every culture has had its history plundered in one way or another. Even the "English" people were not the original inhabitants of England, those people were brutally subjugated. Its more than likely that the line my family came from was a "barbarian" line that was sought out for destruction and extermination. Our history was so despised that they didnt want to revere it as treasure or stick it in a museum either....it was destroyed as pagan and sub human.
Dudes like that are pure evil! I remember there also was one British dude who destroyed the Parthenon in Greece, just cause he wanted to steal a part of it. He collaborated with Ottoman authorities too. How many stories like that there were and still are happening?

I've been an avide player of Sid Meyers Civilisation franchise since its begining. Rescently with Civ VI, it dawn to me that there were quite a few african civilization compared to the rest of the world. Of course it could have been a simple case of software limitation but then, I went back and took a look the different edition of the game and notice that most of them were the same (Egypt Excluded). Further more, all of those presented (Egypt Excluded) were from the medieval period. To me, this could not be right! Later on, I purchased a magazine (Atlas des Civilisations Disparues) in which there were an article about Zimbabwe and its "discoverer (can't remember the name). What infuriated me about that article was that "this guy" was so focused in proving it was from an ancient European civilization, or the lost tribe of Isreal, that he could not even fathom that local african peple could have build it. Worst! He complained that he had to go through layers of "local trash" in order to excavate the site. It was at that moment that I realized how much we have lost, in stories, culture, arts and History. An History that would contradict many of the dogma taught in school. Was there other great african civilizations prior the middle ages? Probably! How many? What were they like? We will probably never know... European colonialisms made sure of that.
@@stephenford6132 got an idea: what about a video review on the Sid Meyer civ franchise? About their African civilizations… what they got right, and what not?

The pyramids look pretty intact to me. what you need to do is find out is who is responsible for trying to destroy The Great Sphinx by blowing its nose off.
@@damonpatterson8293 that's a dumb myth . Why wouldn't he just blow the head off or destroy it , there is a history of many statues being defaced in ancient times , also it could also be just natural erosion, many Roman and Greek statues have missing noses and ears.
@@soda8736 the reason why that isn't dumb is because you can keep the art, but question the facial features. 🤔 😉 I know other statues are damaged but it's not as farfetched as you think. So the only part of it that's heavily damaged or eroded is the face in a dry climate? Wouldn't the sandstorms damage other parts as well? While there are plenty of statues that are intact, don't you think it's weird that so many in Egypt have nose and facial damage but not much on the bodies?
@@soda8736 also with the cannons of that time it would still take time to blow the whole head off unless you are very determined or have a lot of dynamite. Would you really need to blow off the whole head?
Very interesting. You should all see how many people are angry about a black woman in the Netflix series Barbarians which is set in the Germanic tribal areas north of the Roman Empire. We know that blacks have been in Europe since the beginning of Europe .
It is sickening that most archeology is not for educational reasons but for the treasures and fame. I am fascinated by history but horrified by the way they treat the people and cultures they are unearthing for personal gain.
I appreciate your efforts however it would be good to be a bit more balanced IMHO. For example, the greatest looters of the Egyptian pyramids were the Egyptians themselves in ancient times, and they were similar to your subject in that they did not stop in the search for "treasures" that they might take advantage of. So this gentleman followed in a tradition of conquerors or dominant cultures - this is NOT to excuse such behavior Also, it is a natural tendency in archaeology and probably the world as a whole that if you have seen 100,000 or a million or more artifacts, and then something new or purportedly new shows up, that you question it - in fact it is normal to question and that is part of a greater academic philosophy even if it may be in math or physics. Also, there are many fine Yoruba and beautiful cultural items that have come down to us but they themselves have most certainly NOT been benign in their treatment of other cultures, and I will leave it like that. But your points are taken with regards to the lack of respect for others or their cultural patrimony -how do the French have the Mona Lisa? Was it a French artist? (NO). Was it stolen? Yes. Or what about the Elgin marbles - my point is that this is a general phenomenon of which the subject was guilty, but he is not alone and their are plenty of others from disparate backgrounds, sadly including Africans as well that have committed such.

Part of me feel angry and devasted, a part of me feel proud about our heritage and accomplishment. I am only left wonder, how many of our black cultural heritage have been destroyed by Europeans.
Greed has caused endless destruction in Africa, Central and South America and other world heritage sites. In Afghanistan I saw looters drive in a backhoe to loot artifacts.
Reason we can't decipher many of these ancient languages is because of this destruction there might have been foreign translations either Egyptian or some other language we could have used to understand and learn what is written. Just goes to show it's not always the least intelligent of people who are the most ignorant but many times it's the most intelligent amongst us who are the most ignorant.

One must remind taht at the very start, when Herodotes wrote the first Greek History book in antiquity, Egypt was considered the source of all science, and black Nubian where semi-mythical kingdom governed by the wisest kings on Earth.(History, book II)
I just got back from Egypt and the Pyramids there were built to stop locals and other Africans plundering them. That was a large part of their function. So my question is why do you judge this man by different standards to those that were plundering these tombs in antiquity? And your ending phrase...Know your ancestors. What a ridiculous thing to say, as if African and all Africans living outside Africa are a homogenous group with one ancestry. I suspect your ancestral links to Egypt are about as close as mine are, and am a white man (so repugnant I have to say that in 2023) born in the UK. Quit with the bias.
@Firewall of Facts he spoke facts . Tombs were built knowing they would or could be looted so it's been happening way before this guy. It's human nature unfortunately
@Firewall of Facts yep pretty much correct , bigger more stronger nations or tribes , dominate smaller weaker nations or tribes , , human nature, happens all over the world from the beginning of time , Those African tribes were dominated and subjugating lesser African tribes before the European
@Firewall of Facts actually slavery when the US was established was like 90 years from 1776 to 1865 . And I would say the seller created the market which unfortunately was done by Africans. No one can buy anything that's not for sale .
Just north of South Africa so called King Solomons mines now called properly by its name Mapungubwe. They crafted some biblical story to justify the existence of the stone city.

May this Oyinbo suffer the Wrath of The Ancestors.
My first MA is in Modern Middle Eastern studies and I had to take history courses as a result. Egypt was occupied by the British at this period and archaeology was very much unfortunately steeped in greed and politics in t his period. It was not uncommon that archaelogists were often intelligence agents or fortune hunters and it's depressing to think how much archaeology was really destroyed or outright plundered and survives to this day in some millionaire's home or corporation headquarters or a museum.
I remember in 1996 or 97 a mansion was being renovated in Scotland or England and the workers accidentally discovered a secret room and it was a storage room for ancient Egyptian artifacts that had been stolen when the original builder of the mansion lived in Egypt. Recently, back in August 2022, a famous architectural magazine, Architectural Digest, was caught photoshopping a hedge fund investor's home because it contained pillaged Khmer artifacts. But the idea that a major magazine actively photoshopped the stolen items and then downplayed their doing it. Architectural Digest should be shut down but it's alot more common than we realise and amazing how the public just free-passes this.
Archeology was also steeped in racism and bias.
It is also verry sad that archeological artefacts and art objects are still allowed to be sold at auctions to rich dudes, who will hide them from everyone else. I think that should be illegal
@@KateeAngel I totally agree with you
@@stephanielewis712 Exactly !
Stuff like this angers me, they plundered many sites and then continued to claim Africa had nothing while taking our artifacts. They did this in various Zimbabwe ruins too but, instead of having professional excavations and getting the artifacts into musuems the fools melted the gold and threw away the other artifacts that would have yielded a lot of information like soap stone art artifacts. This is why you can only find very few examples of the art of my ancestors.
Kingdoms like Zimbabwe were NOT civilizations. They were and advanced culture but they had not reached yet the stage to be classified as civilization.
Secondly, North Africa was NEVER part of “ African “ civilization. GEOGRAPHY DOES NOT EQUALS CULTURE OR CIVILIZATION. The fact that North Africa and regions below belong to African continent doesn’t mean they were your civilizations or your cultures.North Africa was ALWAYS part or related with Mediterranean world and Arabian peninsula.
@@st3019 Where did I make the argument you're arguing against exactly? Go forth and believe whatever you want. The point still stands many monument have been destroyed in search of treasures! Many artifacts have been taken from various significant sights all over the continent. Whether you believe the cultures and kingdoms were civilizations or not is irrelevant.
As for your opinion regarding North Africa, 😂 if you want to exclude North Africa from the rest of the continent go ahead! Again where did I mention North Africa? Unless you're referring to Nubia aka Kush? What were they more Mediterranean and Arab too huh? Wow what a revelation! Let me guess they weren't black neither but, painted their skin is that it?
@@admirekashiri9879 i implore you save your breath, look at other posts and you will realise that this ST D (sScialmedia Transmitted Disease) is clearly one of those Devils coming to sow dsiscord. Not a civilisation they say
Here with have one source describing a civilisation
a"a society in an advanced state of social development (e.g., with complex legal and political and religious organizations"
Great Zimbabwe fits that bill so wjo are they to suggest otherwise.
Noting that great Zimbabwe wasnt one off there were numerous such settlements.
It is apparent that these devils can dedicate so much time trying to be disparaging about other societies, i mean who does that. Only parasites, devils and those with low esteem. Otherwise why should it bother them that some people are exchanging conversation about their peoples past achievements.
We dont have to forget these type of devils went out of their way to try and prove great Zimbabwe was not built by black African. Again you must be pure evil tor extremely sick o want to try to do such a thing, it beggars belief.
But those devils are still at it today as you can see for yourself.
@@admirekashiri9879 Ok . Now , I don’t know where do you get that “ they claim Africa didn’t create anything “ . I’ve been studying history since 2005 and nobody told me or I never read any serious book when it says “ African societies didn’t create anything “. Many people like you like to use these euphemism to make others sound like haters or whatever. Nobody is saying that. Western civilization is a civilization of ideas which always have been challenged and are evolving over time . What some Europeans have said 100 years ago about civilizations of African continent is NOT what western civilization is about. We’re constantly changing our view on worlds history.
You say “ they took our artifacts “ which is true. Unfortunately, invasion and colonialism go hand in hand with exploitation. But remember that in these museums where these artifacts are EVERYONE knows where they come from. Nobody is hiding anything today.Yes , I agree they should be returned back where they were taken but to argue that “ stolen artifacts are hidden history is ridiculous “. Some regions in the world suffered cultural loses which were much more devastating . The Balkans ( where I originally come from) was destroyed, looted , plowed by ottoman colonialism much more than most parts of Africa.
@@admirekashiri9879 I wasn’t referring to Nubia and Kush , and no they do not belong to Mediterranean world but they are connected with it due to Nile River through Egypt. Also ancient civilizations of Nile valley where heavily related with societies of arabian peninsula. The kingdom of ancient Ethiopia was founded by a semitic colony who was originally from Yemen. Now black Africans say that there was civilization there before semitic people were settled there, and honestly I don’t know if that is true .
Ancient Nubians were dark ( most likely Nilotic people) skin but not Egyptians. Many black people say that Egypt was influenced by Nubians, again I don’t know that either.
Many historians say Egypt, as a civilization was more connected with contemporary civilizations of ancient Middle East. I don’t know which one is true, about that.
First time watching. I’m about halfway through this video and had to look up 2 words already. Rebarbative and invidious. Slows me down but builds up my personal lexicon. I appreciate the concise yet atypical verbiage and I look forward to watching more. Great job thus far. I wish I knew more about African history, and here I am getting schooled! Thanks!
I am so happy to have found your fantastic channel. Amazing! Great video content.
It's sad but nothing can be done about it. While the controversy around where the Egyptians came from can be frustrating to a person who has studied the pre-dynastic civilizations, and thus has already found the answer. It's very likely that we would've seen the same level of destruction to Egyptian monuments from Europeans in denial that black africans/sub-saharan Africans built such a beautiful civilization. I'm just glad that not everything was completely wiped out and that the achievements of the Kushite civilization was able to reach public domain.
I find the term sub-saharan African insulting. There were dark skin Africans living in the Sahara, and those that were not so dark skin native to the area who were African - and not Arab. There's not much that separates the Africans native to the Sahara and the Africans south of it, except for this imaginary separation of North Africa and "sub-saharan Africa".
then you would need to study pre dynastic civilization because a lot of it seems linked to the middle east. as there has been pottery found in egyptian areas in pre dynasty to have Mesopotamia pottery.
@@danjones6702 African dynasties we’re first then the Persian civilization came
@@daedae1522 no ,more like a divided Egypt , Egypt had both a south kingdom in upper Egypt close to east Africa and a Lower kingdom close to the middle east , mina had to mix both to unit them after wining the battle against the north
@@danjones6702 then you need to study the Sahara which up until 8000 years ago was not desert. It was green and populated a clue to its population lay in places such as Uan Muhuggiag , present day Libya and Tassili Nadjer present day Algeria. These populations moved towards the Nile or southwards once the green belt receded. Interesting how there were signs of black Africans in what has now become the Sahara desert but little or no evidence of Asiatics are known south of the Sahara before or during these events.
Upper Egypt where Egyptian civilisation started was deep in the south and on the door step of tropical Africa and the Kerma cultures.
If they came from the north why would they bypass the fertile Nile delta and settle in areas where others had already settled.
I knew of this, but I didn’t know the largest pyramid was plundered nor did I know that it was a pyramid that belonged to the legendary Nubian Queen Amanishakheto herself. It angers me to no end that Africans, such as the Nubians & Egyptians didn’t outwardly forbid this, retrieving artifacts themselves carefully & respectfully. Thanks for your the more detailed look at this part of our history, HomeTeam.
It’s not the last time blacks sold out other blacks. Fact.
Stop your misguided & utterly misinformed pointing of the finger of blame at " AfricAns 🤎" , innocent ∆ ∆ ∆FRIC∆NS , who were the ultmost victims of this desecration & wanton vandalism .
If you knew your history just a little better ,
then you wouldn't wrongly rush to blame the actual victim of a crime.
FYI , Sudan and Egypt at the time of the destruction , on that date in history , were under European COLONIAL RULE .
So don't blame the innocent without knowing the history and the fact that a colonial government was in control .
You don't understand that when the white Arabs invaded people's lands they had no respect for their ancients Arts.
Europeans fought 3 world wars against each other . And even Ukraine war - white versus white .

Yeah I remember that scene on Black Panther the first one when Killmonger told that white museum curator. When she said they acquired them he was like no you stole them.
yeah John Oliver did a segment on museums that made me understand Killmonger's speech all the more. they are arrogant bastards.
I’m pretty sure that scene was an homage to the opening scene of the Nigerian film “Invasion 1897”

So disgusting what these immoral people did it grieves my spirit
@Arab Social Nationalist This is Sudan not Egypt Mr Arab.
I hoping that they start doing the underwater excavations from those pyramids before the water table rises any more there and even more history and treasure is lost.
There are groups that are organizing diving expeditions under those pyramids to document and try to find things before the structures get damaged to the point where nothing is retrievable or before the water damages what is left to be found.....probably miles of painted walls that could tell books worth of info and who knows how many artifacts and even bodies that could be saved from eternal destruction, so to speak.
Its important to remember also that every culture has had its history plundered in one way or another. Even the "English" people were not the original inhabitants of England, those people were brutally subjugated. Its more than likely that the line my family came from was a "barbarian" line that was sought out for destruction and extermination. Our history was so despised that they didnt want to revere it as treasure or stick it in a museum either....it was destroyed as pagan and sub human.
Dudes like that are pure evil!
I remember there also was one British dude who destroyed the Parthenon in Greece, just cause he wanted to steal a part of it. He collaborated with Ottoman authorities too. How many stories like that there were and still are happening?
What about the local people in charge who let him do it and would probably split the profits with him?
@@soda8736 it doesn't matter. Why was he there in the first destroying and plundering?????
@@kenmcdaniel6913 my point was everyone has to accountability , doesn't matter why he was there. So if a local person did the same thing which they did then it's ok?
Correct!!! There are countries which are envied for their history, culture, and natural beauty. Greece is one of them as Africa! The marbles of the Parthenon are still in the museum of England although we have been fighting for their return to their homeland! This is no artifact it is a heritage symbol of Greece and they were stolen !! As Agia Sofia in Costandinoupoli !
Where is his grave 🪦?? I'm trying to see something right quick
نشكر هوم تيم علي مجهودهم الرائع في مجال التاريخ الافريقي وعلي توضيح حقائق غائبة ومغيبة عنا نحن اهل السودان .. انا من مدينة تحتضن اهرامات مروي العظيمة وافتخر
Thank you to my favorite team…..the HOME TEAM!!
The tops had precious metal on it GOLD.
You deserve a part in the new Wakanda movie as a great story teller.
I get it
Forget wakanda. Just a movie written by people who's ancestors plundered Africa in the first place
Wakanda is a made up country. This guy tell history of real world countries
@@ael9065 do you have evidence that those exact writers had their exact ancestors plunder anything? Just some random ehite dudes weren't necessarily ancestors of those particular people
@@KateeAngel he is being sarcastic. I think he should try STORYTELLING. This is true history.
I never knew who actually spear headed the campaign to destroy African pyramids. Thank you brother for this very informative video! Ashe.
I knew NOTHING of this history. Thank you for this information. I will pass on this information to my child and encourage this knowledge to be shared as much as possible.
Great video as always brother! I suggest you do a video on the Bemba people of Zambia, my tribal origin. Outside of family discussions, I have never heard anyone talk about our rich culture and I think it’s worth doing a video on.
we see evidence that Egypt civilization reached the Americas so why is it unbelievable to most "scholars" on the matter that Egypt influence would've been all over the content of Africa??
The truth always comes to light, thank you very much for educating me on our outstanding history. I Decree that the energy of our ancestors be upon you!
The devil has been hard at work for centuries
Great work. The deeper we go the more clear it becomes that what is done to us now has always been done to us. We’re starting to see the bigger picture and connect dots. We have to stop falling for the okey-doke so we can rise.
An absolute gem 💎
A BLACK POET SPEAKS. (1249).
"CREDIT TO YOU BROTHER."
You reflect light passionately on our past history and glory, and give us sence of pride and dignity for the accomplishments and achievements of our ancestors.
Your job is incredible, equally so your credit as well. Be blessed 🙏🏿👍 May the Most High protect and bless Mama Africa and her entire progeny and descents worldwide. Ase'/Amen. (By former Publisher and Editor of an international, Pan African Magazine in Germany entitled the African Monitor).
European Barbarism!
Napoleon also disfigured some faces of blacks on pyramids with French cannons right after a French artist drew a picture of them .
Legit. Glad I found ya bro. Studied this for years now. They basically erased the history of Africa and gave us this joke of a narrative that we have today. Take a look at any map pre 1600 and you will see cities and pyramids all over North Africa and the continent as such. Sucks man, but the Truth always comes to the surface. Peace, Eyes wide open, no fear.
Why didn't sub Saharan Africans have maps?
north africa isnt subsaharan africa
This channel is soo important!!
Thanks!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Broke my heart with this one ngl. Africa is, and will forever be, punished for allowing these misfortune to happen.
make me sick to this day , God bless Africa !!!!! Shame on Europe
Thanks
Here! There we go. True sons and daughters of Africa, come out and undo all painful damages to our true history by those unforgiving and diabolical detractors. Never too late to recover the truth. Thanks for your selfless research passion for Africa.
Egypt IS Africa.
Please keep on DOING THIS YOURE DOING BLESSED VALUABLE WORK.
Thank you, I recall reading somewhere that a British man and his team went to Meroe, in Sudan and used explosives on the pyramid, they left nothing except for what a small archaeological team is now unearthing, daily I am seeing that new artifacts of black indigenous people all over the world is being found and dug up, and incredibly they are still trying to mk rhyme or reason that it’s everything but Africans smh, all will be revealed one day, hopefully in my lifetime, continue to do the great work ❤
:D u need psychiatric help :D
You do great work!!!
Oh this channel is just about African culture, I'm sure they're not an extremely biased afrocentric liar and just someone who cares about spreading the truth!
It should never surprise us anymore sir
Honestly I can’t completely blame the Italian pillagers if the African locals were in on it too
@@capoislamort100 You either did not read, or did not understand what I said.
I said “I can’t completely blame the pillagers”, not “The locals are to be blamed”. Those are two very different things.
@@mayowaosibodu that’s where you’re wrong, they’re not to be blamed at all. How do you know that swine didn’t threatened them with death if they didn’t do it? You blame the instigator or the perpetrator not the participant.
@@capoislamort100 everyone is to blame , if no one is for sale , then there is no slave market.
@@soda8736 that's true. But I won't get over what was done. We have this weird thing in the Black/African community. Where we roll on our stomachs and allow ourselves to be pet like dogs and surrender. We should not surrender when we deserve respect and our pain deserves to be acknowledged. I refuse to have my pain and the shit done wrong by me unacknowledged. Especially when they throw shit way out of proportion. If we did half the shit they've done to us they'd be crying and hollering and weeping. And blubbering. Get out of here.
Even if they won't give an open apology and even if I forgive them for my own mental and emotional health, I still won't forget. Because in the wild you need to spot a snake. Even if you like how a snake moves. How it looks. You need to know how to spot your enemies.
@@nevaehlheaven If you truly no world history then you'd let go of all this anger.. all races and peoples have good and bad, if Africans would have large ships to cross waters they would have enslaved who ever was there because they already practicing it against the own people.. You want an apology for things you didn't go through from people who didn't commit theses acts? What if your an ancestors conquered another people , you think it was done in peace in the ancient world, ? I can name crazy horrible things , Africans, Europeans, Asians , and Natives Americans did .
I clicked this thinking you meant Egypts pyramids because, well ,,Egypt is in Africa
I've been an avide player of Sid Meyers Civilisation franchise since its begining. Rescently with Civ VI, it dawn to me that there were quite a few african civilization compared to the rest of the world. Of course it could have been a simple case of software limitation but then, I went back and took a look the different edition of the game and notice that most of them were the same (Egypt Excluded).
Further more, all of those presented (Egypt Excluded) were from the medieval period. To me, this could not be right! Later on, I purchased a magazine (Atlas des Civilisations Disparues) in which there were an article about Zimbabwe and its "discoverer (can't remember the name). What infuriated me about that article was that "this guy" was so focused in proving it was from an ancient European civilization, or the lost tribe of Isreal, that he could not even fathom that local african peple could have build it.
Worst! He complained that he had to go through layers of "local trash" in order to excavate the site. It was at that moment that I realized how much we have lost, in stories, culture, arts and History. An History that would contradict many of the dogma taught in school. Was there other great african civilizations prior the middle ages? Probably! How many? What were they like? We will probably never know... European colonialisms made sure of that.
You have a righteous heart to say these things out loud most white peoples wouldn’t approve
@@stephenford6132 got an idea: what about a video review on the Sid Meyer civ franchise? About their African civilizations… what they got right, and what not?
And? There is no reason to make more "african" civilisations. Even those, which are there are weak, so be grateful they are there.
@@avollant What they got right? lol, wake up from that dream of racism, its a game.
The Hebrews were black as well. That’s another whitewashed history.
Yeah this was absolute new knowledge for me! Grateful!
UNITY IS A MUST!
FYI.. they discovered the world's oldest college in North Africa
I hope you have seen the old maps that show all the castles and large buildings that were all over Africa .
History is written by the winners, when two or more opposing forces record the same history, then it is possibly true.
You are far to kind to the Neaderthal-blooded European plunderers.
Bruh you're white
You are just a racist person who treats a whole group of people like a hive-mind
Also there are some ethnicities in central Africa with a fraction of Neanderthal blood, and basically every Northern African or from the Horn has 1-2% of Neanderthal ancestry so yeah you are being racist with more of 90% of the world
How did you get to 90%? I'm just curious to know
This is infuriating. But the truth will come out.
The pyramids look pretty intact to me. what you need to do is find out is who is responsible for trying to destroy The Great Sphinx by blowing its nose off.
From my understanding it was Napoleon. I believe it took 20 cannons to blow it's nose off.
@@damonpatterson8293 that's a dumb myth . Why wouldn't he just blow the head off or destroy it , there is a history of many statues being defaced in ancient times , also it could also be just natural erosion, many Roman and Greek statues have missing noses and ears.
@@soda8736 the reason why that isn't dumb is because you can keep the art, but question the facial features. 🤔 😉 I know other statues are damaged but it's not as farfetched as you think. So the only part of it that's heavily damaged or eroded is the face in a dry climate? Wouldn't the sandstorms damage other parts as well? While there are plenty of statues that are intact, don't you think it's weird that so many in Egypt have nose and facial damage but not much on the bodies?
@@soda8736 also with the cannons of that time it would still take time to blow the whole head off unless you are very determined or have a lot of dynamite. Would you really need to blow off the whole head?
@@damonpatterson8293 I remember the Germans also trying to paint eyes blue out of jealousy.
Very interesting. You should all see how many people are angry about a black woman in the Netflix series Barbarians which is set in the Germanic tribal areas north of the Roman Empire. We know that blacks have been in Europe since the beginning of Europe .
Thx for another great video. Giuseppe is pronounce Jewsepy 😊 the G sounds like J
That's not the Italian pronunciation at all, take a seat.
One Italian man with Egyptians and Nubians themselves did it

It is sickening that most archeology is not for educational reasons but for the treasures and fame. I am fascinated by history but horrified by the way they treat the people and cultures they are unearthing for personal gain.
I appreciate your efforts however it would be good to be a bit more balanced IMHO. For example, the greatest looters of the Egyptian pyramids were the Egyptians themselves in ancient times, and they were similar to your subject in that they did not stop in the search for "treasures" that they might take advantage of. So this gentleman followed in a tradition of conquerors or dominant cultures - this is NOT to excuse such behavior
Also, it is a natural tendency in archaeology and probably the world as a whole that if you have seen 100,000 or a million or more artifacts, and then something new or purportedly new shows up, that you question it - in fact it is normal to question and that is part of a greater academic philosophy even if it may be in math or physics.
Also, there are many fine Yoruba and beautiful cultural items that have come down to us but they themselves have most certainly NOT been benign in their treatment of other cultures, and I will leave it like that.
But your points are taken with regards to the lack of respect for others or their cultural patrimony -how do the French have the Mona Lisa? Was it a French artist? (NO). Was it stolen? Yes. Or what about the Elgin marbles - my point is that this is a general phenomenon of which the subject was guilty, but he is not alone and their are plenty of others from disparate backgrounds, sadly including Africans as well that have committed such.
Great comment but this video is made to play on black peoples racial emotions and make black people mad a white people and not think about all the elements involved..
Sudan isn't Egypt. He didn't just loot he destroyed Ancient structures. Even to the modern era you see Europeans writing on these pyramids.
@@soda8736I mean the world has very valid reasons to be angry at white people. Your era is coming to an end.
@@thevoiceofthegoyim9339 I'm.not white .. and are you mad at the black Africans who sold you in to slavery? All races have people who committed horrible acts.
@@soda8736 i just read your previous comments. You’re definitely not black and if you are you’re an Uncle Ruckus. Regardless we’re including you with them. You’re an enemy.
Part of me feel angry and devasted, a part of me feel proud about our heritage and accomplishment. I am only left wonder, how many of our black cultural heritage have been destroyed by Europeans.
They've always hated us
We should've NEVER taught them anything
Yeah....Well the feelings mutual.
Of course, the bolognese. Terrible people, a bunch of leftists with no respect for people's heritage.
Greed has caused endless destruction in Africa, Central and South America and other world heritage sites. In Afghanistan I saw looters drive in a backhoe to loot artifacts.
Reason we can't decipher many of these ancient languages is because of this destruction there might have been foreign translations either Egyptian or some other language we could have used to understand and learn what is written. Just goes to show it's not always the least intelligent of people who are the most ignorant but many times it's the most intelligent amongst us who are the most ignorant.
I beg to differ, on who is the most intelligent, respectfully💪🏿✊🏿
Everyone has the same intelligence , no one is more superior.
@@soda8736 can you build a flying car?
@@activechuckss some people develop more technology for what ever reasons , but take a baby of any race and raise him in a educated society and they will have the same capabilities as anyone else
@@soda8736 we both know that's true but not everyone believe in that some believe they are superior do to higher level of education, greater wealth and or better physique when we start to believe we are better that's when we are at our worse and most ignorant I would give an example but there are far too many to choose from.
One must remind taht at the very start, when Herodotes wrote the first Greek History book in antiquity, Egypt was considered the source of all science, and black Nubian where semi-mythical kingdom governed by the wisest kings on Earth.(History, book II)
Peace God, continue to educate the people.
We're any of the treasures ever returned to Africa? Where are they now?
🙏🏽🙏🏽
There are two forces Good and Evil and they don't mix.
I just got back from Egypt and the Pyramids there were built to stop locals and other Africans plundering them. That was a large part of their function. So my question is why do you judge this man by different standards to those that were plundering these tombs in antiquity? And your ending phrase...Know your ancestors. What a ridiculous thing to say, as if African and all Africans living outside Africa are a homogenous group with one ancestry. I suspect your ancestral links to Egypt are about as close as mine are, and am a white man (so repugnant I have to say that in 2023) born in the UK. Quit with the bias.
There's a youtube history channel called Metatron. I think he would be more suited for you there instead of here.
@Firewall of Facts he spoke facts . Tombs were built knowing they would or could be looted so it's been happening way before this guy. It's human nature unfortunately
@Firewall of Facts yep pretty much correct , bigger more stronger nations or tribes , dominate smaller weaker nations or tribes , , human nature, happens all over the world from the beginning of time , Those African tribes were dominated and subjugating lesser African tribes before the European
@Firewall of Facts true..
@Firewall of Facts actually slavery when the US was established was like 90 years from 1776 to 1865 . And I would say the seller created the market which unfortunately was done by Africans. No one can buy anything that's not for sale .
Just north of South Africa so called King Solomons mines now called properly by its name Mapungubwe. They crafted some biblical story to justify the existence of the stone city.
