- THE HISTORY BEHIND ADINKRA SYMBOLS
Adinkra symbols Represent traditional mythology of Akans especially Gyaaman(Origin of Adinkra symbols) of Ghana. The intricate symbols of Adinkra convey traditional wisdom, aspects of life or the environment.
The Adinkra symbols and meanings express subjects that chronicle the history, philosophy, and heritage of the Akan people. The heritage dates back to the prehistoric time when Africans inscribed on walls and caves as a means of written communication. The intricate symbols of Adinkra have an appealing quality allied to traditional wisdom, cultural and religious aspects of Akans especially Ashanti, #Akuapem, Gyaaman etc communities.
Adinkra means ‘goodbye’ or ‘farewell ' in the Akan language, but Adinkra symbols go beyond that to portray important events in the cycle of life.
Adinkra symbols are based on ancient teachings, proverbs and folklore.
According to oral tradition, #Adinkra was originally the name of a #King of #Gyaaman, Nana Kwadwo Adinkra.
There are over 400 Adinkra Symbols. In modern times, Adinkra symbols have been adopted and extensively integrated into fashion, architecture, wood carvings, jewelry, furniture, pottery and so forth.

I find this to be some of the most important and exciting form of our cultural stance on the importance of our existence and heritage...as Afr-Americans we must replace in our culture what being enslaved took away in order to rebuild our true heritage and the Communities of The African Diaspora
Go take a trip to Rwanda the next Rwanda I strongly encourage you to youtube search Rwanda and see how black folk when civilized should be living
African American... Black men and woman living in Americas forgot who they were the day they will remember would be the end of the world as we know it , the beginning of life
@@als9920 we look to the wisdom of our distant family in Afru-ikan Diaspora and the Glorious Wealth of Knowledge that you can teach your Afru-ikan American family, and thanks for the ❤️
We enslaved ourselves............. there is only one god... it is not external. So...... if your anscestors were enslaved. They chose that over death. Just impliment the codes... stop trying to blame everybody white for being born black. Especially since black folk solkd black folk to white folk. And had the same white slaves in these europeans countries....... black americans are bitter and spiteful...... instead of reprogramming. But you can never reprogram someone elses codes........ this shit is within... comes from within the way you choose to think.
But these are exactly that!-symbols of the COLONIZATION of BANTU cultures, by ERASING the Authentic and replacing with the FAKE. These are ROMAN GERMAN JEWISH symbols in origin, denoting ongoing CULTURAL IMPERIALISM."black" or "African" rather than BANTU means MINGLED peoples, "BANTU" no more...and these symbols, esp the HEARTS and all that "femininity"-"nurturer"-"caregiver" GARBISH represents exactly that HYBRIDITY imperialism, where the BANTU(Gen 5:4-"OTHER son and daughter of ADAM and NOT of NOAH-(only 8 of CAIN+SETH we're saved, but the BANTU Survived hence the UNIQUE 4C HAIR type, that Gen 10 cannot give birth to...hence the RACIST HAIR politics in USA, with Gen 10 people FORCING the BANTU to COVER & HIDE this FACT, under HUGE OBNOXIOUS headscarfs, weaves and wigs, that BANTU did NOT MJNGLE at Gen 6!)-thays why BANTU PUREgene pool, in the diaspora were ABused as Genetic slave BOREholes, for SONS OF NOAH-(Gen 6-(Cain+Neanderthals & Denisovans)+Seth=Gen 10) to "drink" from and "cleanse"(not) their "freakshow" BETHSAIDApool!-by polluting the BANTU OCEANS and rivers...
Great video however, I sense the narrator subtly omitted the True Origins of the Adinkra symbols. WHO ARE THE PEOPLE OF GYAAMAN?
They’re BONO AKAN people, living in both GHANA AND IVORY COAST (BONTOUKU,IVORY COAST/ BONO AND BONO EAST OF GHANA)
Bono or Bunu in Akan means “the first”. They’re AKANDIFUO” , the first Akan to emerge.
Various aspects of Akan culture stem from the Bono state, including the umbrella used for the kings (eg. The 3 tier umbrella known as “bidibiakyi- some are mightier than others “ only used by Bono Kings”, the swords of the nation (Akofena), the royal stools, goldsmithing, blacksmithing, Kente Cloth weaving, the chief of Yefri, NKORANZA NORTH, Bono east region of Ghana, informed the then Asante king at the time of a group of people in Bontouku (Bonos) who were skilful in cloth weaving and subsequently sent some Asantes to learn from them. Everyone must remember there was a Bono akan kingdom over 400 years before the Asante kingdom was formed. With that in mind most of the cultural dressings,, such as the Kente, Adinkra symbols, Fontomfrom drums are all originated from Bono Akan people. NANA KOJO ADINKRA was a Bono King and he invented the symbols. If you want the true history search m/ watch SUMAHENE , who’s a descendant of King Adinkra. Go to the Bono areas like Takyiman, Dormaa and Gyaman for the authentic history. Whenever the Asantes narrate a history they try to skew it in their favour.

I am working on a project about my beloved Africa and this video helped tremendously. Thank you for creating this video. ❤❤
But the symbols are NOT BANTU, they're ALL of 4sq Germanic jewish-roman origin...so it's misleading but because BANTU knowledge has been destroyed by imperialist cultural corruption and domination there's few who know BANTU did NOT create visual imagery be abuse they were PURE MONOTHEISTS like the ANCIENT HEBREWS shunning IDOLS and veneration of the DEAD...BUT thru imperialism MIDDLE AND EASTERN ODOLATRY introduced VISUAL symbols to MARK IMPERIALIST territories they later came to CLAIM as SYMBOLISING territories they had "discovered" for conquest!!..but to keep them alive, they taught the BANTU who practiced ORAL rather than TEXTUAL traditions that these EASTERN symbols were "of their ANCESTORS" just forgotten, but of course they LIED!- even as they LIE that their "cradle" is here yet their bible says EDEN, GARDDN OF GOD is IN LEBANON but stretched from DWARKA INDIA across the meditteranean where CITIES OF CAIN-ATLANTIS, were SUNKEN in the flood, to PORTUGAL-hence theyvnamed the ocean ATLANTIC sea board, and the LAND of the NOrD is above the TROPIC OF CANCER...that is THEIR Gen 6=Gen 10 CRADLE not this continent, known to the BANTU as ITURI(potters house or the forge) renamed "Afer-Afar-KHAN" in anticipation of this INDO-ASIATIC KHANS imperialism and genetic colonization thru hybridity...

I would like to know how these symbols traveled from Ghana throughout Africa because a lot of us grew up seeing them in our countries as well. It would be nice to know how they got there or the correlation to them.
I AM COMING!!!! MOTHER OF "THE ALL".... US ALL🌍
😂"us ALL?!!" NOT!😂JUST the BANTU and this is ITURI not this imperialist Indo-Asiatic "Afer-AfriKHAN(rulers)"-!!...land!
Daalu💚
Most ancient symbols have one common origins. The interactions between traders from the East and African Traders....
Who els looking for meaningful tattoo ideas??
Mannnnn
Me flipa a tope por estos
😌
Very good video, may I just add that you left out how the Asantes brought it from Gyaman and added more simbles to get the number of simbles we have today. Also how Asantes made it more prominent as well as making it one of Asante's national clothes (Adinkra Cloth) and eventually making it spread throughout most of Akan lands and finally Ghana as a whole, thanks.
Thank you
I didn't know that.
That is absolute bull crap haha. You think if ashantis created these symbols they would name it after a Bono king? Stop trying to lay claim to everything and accept these symbols are from Gyaman, period.
@@KingMe1 He is saying Ashantis added some symbols to it and also made it popular. He did not say they were the originators of it. Since, the Gyaman king (Adinkra) is said to be the originator of the adinkra symbols, it makes sense that the symbols are referred to as Adinkra symbols.
@@Detouristgh WHO ARE THE GYAAMAN, AND WHAT LANGUAGE DO THEY SPEAK
❤️
They're not bitting so they do with flames and bullets
𓆉
The music is distracting I couldn’t finish the video
Sorry for the distraction. Concern well noted for future updates.
Thank you very much for the feedback.
These symbols are extremely creepy and I think have deeper meanings than said
Accept God or Except God? That's a big difference
Except God
Can you help me understand it better?
@@spiritonfire3672 meaning no one or nothing can cause good or bad except God
Thank you!
@@spiritonfire3672 it also means nothing can stop you expect God
Dwenimmen... Eminem..... Dude got his name from Ghana? No.....SMDH!
To my knowledge,adinkra was the making of Asantes before the gyeman war, you do your research from historian
I AM EVEN SHOCKED
ALL THE NAME OF ADINKRA SYMBOL ARE IN TWI, THATS WHY ASKED HIM THE LANGUAGE OF THAT GYAAMAN
Do not worry about the names in Twi.
Please kindly do a little research and you will appreciate what we have done.
