what he said ^

African history is human history. Much love x

I see you at here Jabari. Keep making the big moves.

Indeed love this channel.

Africa is not one thing. It’s a myth. There huge difference t between peoples

Thats true. But these were more important imo

The Moroccan Kingdom ❤

Totally true

@@ilyaas_1 by diffrent dynasties*. we are talking about dynasties, not the country it self. these dynasties were bigger and lasted longer than most of these named in the comment.

@@Scourgeoftengri no. The Alamoravids and Almohads definitely should’ve 2nd 3rd behind Ethiopia. The rest of these morrocan dynasties listed in the comment above (apart from the wattasids) Should also be considered top 10

I see what you did there.

Heh

I don't get it 🤔

What the

I thought the Adal and Ajuran dynasty’s would come up Adal was one of the first African nations to defeat an European power

@@heberthr.6978 I think it might have started out because of racism but now it’s mostly ignorance.

@@theperfectmix2 ?? Egypt and other middle eastern empires that had territory in Africa are well known. The more south you get, the less impact they've had so less (incentive?) Or general need to learn about them.

brother we the morrocans took over Spain for more than 800 years but they don't want to chow that some African groop were stronger than the Europeans

@The Cma weren't black mainly Berber and the ruler's there were Muslim arab/Berber dynasties but if you really want to own us so badly then you can have it .

Wait... Where have i seen u before?

Mhm

I also like it, too beautiful girl.

Yup, he's a keeper!

no sign of bani khorkhor

African doesn’t mean anything its just a continent. I don’t why people are proud of a landmass who have nothing in common

@@tarekibnziad253 if you're not from Africa stop ruining if you're from Europe Sudafed the same thing so shut up

The oldest kingdom in Africa is the kingdom of Ajuran. This kingdom rules in eastern and western Africa. It is the oldest kingdom in Africa, from 850 to 1800 AD. That this kingdom is based, or the capital was the capital of Somalia today, which is Mogadishu. The kingdom of Ajuran has a gold money

@@Yusufxasann no that's not true cause morocco is the second oldest kingdom in the world after the kingdom of japan.

I wanted to say the same. I guess the problem is that for many of those the size of their empires might not be exactly traceable, and possibly also varied a lot over time.

@@PauxloE That's the case with most social entities before established borders, and even with them it might as well been 50/50. Only recently with countries, for the most part have we gotten it down.

In desert areas the problem is also that teritory itself is meaningless. What the kingdoms and empires controlled there were the known caravan routes, the cities and oases. The teritory around them was huge, empty and not really controlled by anyone. In that sense, you could draw arbitrary circles to delineate these empires.

True he did only Ethiopia but with the same borders as today and that was incorrect one can simply search on internet and see so many maps of Aksumite Kingdom and Later Abyssinia Empire to Ethiopia and how the borders changed. He failed to mention that Ethiopia was a modern Name too and that it never existed under the Solomonic dynasties. so much false information at the last part of the video.

Agree.

Get this comment up there, bois!

I just subbed to your channel, can’t wait to dive in 🙌🏽

Selam yene wendame

you Ethiopians were colonized by Italians.

@@didonegiuliano3547 Well That’s not true

Make the Antarctic Penguin Empire great again!

They don't call them "Emperor" penguins for nothing!

@@derekhiemforth 🤣🤣 good one.

Out of curiosity, I been trying to translate your name into English, I haven’t had any luck though. So could you please translate you name into English? I just want to know.

@@grantsoto6902 For الأسود (al-Aswad) mean : Black/ black skin (the word "Sudan" came from this word and literally mean black skin people). For العنسي (al-Ansi) : Depending from the way you read it, it could have multiple different meaning. Most oftenly, it refer to an Arabic tribe originated from Yemen. Nowaday, some tribe's member residing in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. Aswad al- Ansi (الأسود العنسي) (meaning: Black Man of al Ansi tribe) actually was a name of a leader of al-ansi tribe in the past, he is a self-proclaimed prophet and proclaimed his prophethood toward the end of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad when Muhammad became ill after his final pilgrimage to Mecca. He is also known as Abhala bin Ka'ab (عبهلة بن كعب). Most of Muslim nowaday would known him as a fake prophet as the Quran proclaimed Muhammad as the last prophet in Islam and the revealation of the religion is completed upon Muhammad's death. But if theres one thing he is remember in history, when prophet Muhammad get ill he lead the al-Ansi tribe to invade Najran and most of Yemen. He attack the city of Sana'a and Shahr (ruler of Yemen and son of Badhan) was killed in a battle against Aswad. Aswad married Shahr's widow and declared himself the ruler of Yemen. He changes his title from Prophet of God to Rahman (the Most Merciful). His rule of Yemen however was short-lived. Fayruz al-Daylami, a Persian Muslim and companian of Prophet of Muhammad was sent by Muhammad to put down his rebellion. Aswad was attacked and killed by Fayruz al-Daylami. Learning of the Prophet Muhammad's demise, the follower of Aswad continued their revolt under the leadership of Qais bin Abi Yaghus. Eventually, Fayruz defeated them and they surrendered along with their leader.

Did you mean "write"? Little mistakes like these could change the meanings of the whole sentence you know..

no sign of bani khorkhor lol

Is your wallet feeling okay, bro?

Respect to MOROCCO 🇲🇦 from ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹

I was referring to West Africa. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.

He just meant it was the oldest in the video, since he restricted himself to listing only dynasties that existed in the medieval or modern periods there won't be any that died out before about AD 500. There definitely were older kingdoms and dynasties - the First Dynasty of Egypt was established around 3100 BC!

Kingdom of D'mt from 980 B.C and got changed to Axum.

Can u now make ancient Version now

@@joshconeby uummm wagadu was an ancient kindom...it definitely existed around the Greek roman period and before trade with would have traded with the carthaginians. And the predecessor to wagadu would have been dhar tchitt and the older west African stone settlements to date

Andriantsimitoviaminiandriana Andriandrazaka I don’t see what you mean...

If he can find 10 American dynasties it will already be impressive.

@- SageAegis - The Bundys

Yeah, nizari imams I guess.

Well they aren’t ruling (I assume...)

I'm pretty sure he only included Sub-Saharan African dinasties

@@thesusposter48 Morocco is not in SSA.

A lot of north africans hated the Fatimids and tried to erase them from history because they were antagonistic to all other islamic dynasties of the time (Shia)..

Almohads were Algerian created by Abdul mumin from tlemcen Algeria 🇩🇿 marinid were Algerians from biskra Algeria 🇩🇿 almoravids were from Mauritania 🇲🇷 also it was ummayads and Abbasid empire who helped Europe in the dark ages not Morocco 😂😂😂😂😂😂

@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki Mauritania and Algeria is it’s own country it literally created Morocco. The Almoravids who were mauritanians conquered Morocco and even named your capital “Marrakesh” 😂😂😂 Algeria existed in 202bc ancient Numidia and Algerian empires such as the Numidians, Almohads, marinids, zayyanids, zirids, Fatimids, kingdom of Algiers, kingdom of ait Abbas, rustamids, hamamdids, kingdom of tlemcen, hafsids and many more all ruled Morocco. Tlemcen has always been part of Algeria but fez, Marrakesh, tangier and Casablanca were all Algerian miskeen he doesn’t know that Algerian empires literally ruled his country for over 1000 years😂😂😂😂 Morocco never existed it was created by Spain and france in 1958 before that it was Algeria land and ruled by Algerians 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

​​​​​@SalamahChannelAl-Malikinever argue with Algerians about history, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. No offense to the Algerians, they are free to believe whatever made up history makes them feel comfortable, it will not change the documented facts ✌️

@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki Moroccans are majority atheist alhamduillah we Algerians are very religious people. This is why Algeria supports Palestine and Morocco supports Israel because you don’t believe in Allah and what he said in the Quran. Alhamduillah in Algeria we prostate to Allah only and in Morocco you prostate to your king your whole country is atheist. Algeria has the most scholars and young Muslims hafis than Morocco. You are a secular state Allah yehdikoum

@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki okay Almohad was created by Abdul mumin from tlemcen Algeria search any academic book online and they will confirm this historians always write this don’t read Moroccan propaganda. Ibn khaldoun the greatest historian and philosopher in North Africa as well as being the father of sociology said that Tariq ibn ziyad is Algerian 🇩🇿 IBN IDHARI A MOROCCAN SCHOLAR SAID TARIQ IBN ZIYAD IS ALGERIAN🇩🇿 go search. Ibn khaldoun said that he spent time with banu marin in BISKRA ALGERIA banu marin are the ones who created the marinid empire. Every historian says this. IM USING SOURCES FROM ACTUAL ACADEMIC AND AUTHENTIC HISTORIANS. Banu lamtun is the tribe that created the Almoravids and they are related to Tuareg tribe family the Almoravids as your king hasan 2 admitted that they were from Mauritania 🇲🇷 everything I said comes from authentic sources now it’s your turn yahudi.

There's no apex. That's an European thing but one thing is for sure. The throne at ife which was the throne oduduwa ruled was respected by all, even after benin grew independent it still maintained ceremonial ties to the ooni(oghonenuhe) as a source of authority. In the 20th century a figure of the ooni of as uncovered underneath the old oba of benin palace. As for ijebus, I'm one myself specifically ijebu-remo and I can say we're fully yoruba. I mean is it decent from ife in terms of migrations and the monarchies, food, culture, spirituality and even language albeit a dialect but very much intelligible with other dialects so therefore we are a subgroup like manh others. The sudan links came out of a time when there was hysteria in connecting african kingdoms to North Africa or the middle East and because of politics of superiority the the past awujale published that story and the current one upheld it too. Asides from this there's absolutely no doubt we are yoruba

The narration is actually correct and its right, but the arrangement is not valid, due to not knowing that the Ooni of Ife is actually the direct descendant, palace and the acient crown of Ooni Oduduwa where all other Obas are traced to, including Alake of Egba, Alaafin of Oyo, Alaketu of Ketu, Olupopo of Popo both (today's Benin Republic), Omo N'Oba of Benin (Oranmiyan, the grandson of Oduduwa/son of Ooni Ogun) and Orangun of Ila (who's actually the first child of Oduduwa). Every other Obas are one way or the other the bore child/children by one of wives of Oduduwa or Ogun e.g Oluwo of Iwo is one of Oduduwa's wives, or family migrated from with crown from the palace Uhe/Ule-Ufe or Ile-Ife. Theres no reason to check apex among the Benin and Ooni, its direct understood that Oranmiyan the founder of Benin is son of Ogun and grandchild of Oduduwa. Benin just want to re-write history, by using the methodology of Oduduwa existence as direct from God to Oke Ora in Ife Wara or Otu Ife, before arriving Ile Ife to become the 3rd Ooni (not even the first), that Oduduwa actually came from them in Benin as a prince and then appeared and was made Ooni (thats nonesense). Meanwhile, the 16 families in Oke-Ora from 4 crown family of 16, among the families was next that introduced Oduduwa as 3rd Ooni. These 4 families are Giesi, Lafogido, Oshikola and Ogboru. Ooni Sijuwade was Ogboru line and this current Adeyeye Ojaja II is from Giesi line.

do we know enough about the Americas to do that? Sadly, due to how little remains of pre-contact history the only one I think we could use would be the Braganzas of Brazil, as all other modern states were republics.

@@keithharper32 And about the Native Americans?

the Indigenous people of the Americas would be fascinating! I wish people knew how scientifically and socially advanced people like the Inca and Maya were, all while Europe was coming out of the Dark Ages.

The spanish erased most of these dinasties history sadly

That's *easy.* The Adams, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Clinton and Kardashian dynasties of course.

@@welldone5139 Somalia had powerful Islamic kingdoms, like the adal sultanate, ajuran empire, ifat sultanate that were the strongest Muslim powers in East Africa for 1000 years, Islam in East Africa was spread by, and protected by Somalis, just google who Ahmed Gurey is, this general is regarded as one of thr most important people in Islamic history, because he defeated the Portuguese empire, and stopped them from going to mecca to steal the grave of prophet mohamed, this general Ahmed Gurey was the commander of the Adal sultanate armies, a powerful somali Islamic kingdom that conquered all of Christian Ethiopia, Eastern Sudan, and Eritrea, fro, 1529 till 1543, and also defeated the Portuguese empire The somali kingdoms like ajuran empire, and adal sultanate, were allies of the ottoman empire, at this time during the 1400s till 1700e, you lands in Egypt saudi Iraq Syria yemen etc, and most arabs, were ruled by ottomans and you were nothing more than subjects whereas somalis had powerful kingdoms that were allies of the ottomans

Specifically North America

Most English speakers count the Americas as 2 separate continents, so he’s more likely to do one for North America (ie the carribean and everything above the isthmus of Panama) and one for South America, but I’d be happy either way. Also would love to see one for Oceania (Australia + the Pacific Islands), to complete the set.

Well, I am enthused too and I am white - well, ‘pink’ actually if you want to be pedantic. Are you black - black, brown - black or tan - black ? It would be very interesting to see a map of skin tones overlaid on the map of Africa. Btw: I have a couple of CD’s of the music of Salif Keita who is technically albino. Where is he from ?

to me it's just interesting because it's history, no matter what part of the world or what culture, race etc: history on its own is what already makes it interesting xD

Great Zimbabwe Monument was already built when the Portuguese visited there around the 1400s

because we are largely migrants from the Sahara, Nile and east Africa. There is this false misconception that west African populations have always lived there.
