In this episode Dr. Rebecca Futo Kennedy guides us into not only ancient Africa but also specifically North Africa and brings up the history of a commonly used and misused term that we constantly see today and that is the term "Sub-Saharan."
She not only gives us a history of the term but how it is used to often whitewash or erase black Africans and their presence in North Africa and its history.

Herodotus' ethnography of north Africa is at 4.168-197, which he refers to as "Libya" (see 4.36-45 on how he divides the continents). Which of the dozens of people he lists are "Black" is unclear. In addition to Aethipians [note: the "cave dwelling Aethiopians are listed as living in western African mountains and are hunted by the Garamantes], there are the Ammoniana, the Mauretanians, and the Atarantes, which are all likely "Black." In 4.197, Herodotus says: "The are the people of the Libyans we are able to name. Most of them do not worry about the Persian king in the present nor did they earlier. I am able to say this much about the land: there are four tribes [note: "tribes" = Greek ethnea, while the dozens of names he gives are "peoples" who self identify within these ethnea] that inhabit Libya and no more than that. That much I know. Two of them are indigenous [Greek = authochthones] and two are not. The Libyans, who live in the north and the Aithiopians, who live in the south [south = southern portion of north Africa] are indigenous; The Phoenicians and Greeks are immigrants [ immigrants = Greek epeludes]. Herodotus' understanding of geography makes clear that all of these people live in what is today north of the Sahara and west of Egypt, which he considers a separate space and which also has Aethiopians.

@matamatosa8898 3 года назад

Libya according to Herodtous Map of africa includes most of Centeral africa and not the modern borders of the country named Libya so its expected that south libyans would be Black and North Libyans would be white since south libya is actually part of sub saharan africa while North Libya was pupolated by the North africans. encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQk67NJABo_v18lbcsJF5MiJAXYWlUWnR4et0U0KvJgutNHWERL6Pun4c5N&s=10

Herotodus tried to rewrite history and Egyptian library was the primary source when the Greeks ruled the known world, had to put their name on everything. They desecrated Egyptian statues, by smashing them because they had "black" noses, trying to erase that black people even existed, which is obviously overt racism. The sub Saharan climate was different thousands of years ago, it was a grassland with bodies of water, rivers and lakes, after the last interglacial period. Lesson: don't use the term subsaharan.

@MarkVrem 3 года назад

I guess we are gonna have to stop using the term "Sub-Saharan" and start saying "West African" Or Senegal River. I don't want to say South African because there is possibly also a cultural difference at this time between the hunter-gatherers of the South Africa area, and the more "civilized" Bantu's further north that is more pastoral. Not sure where agriculture mixes in with all this, but Agriculture was not as efficient back then as it is today, so if the people practiced it around Senegal, Niger rivers, or the river systems around the marshes near Lake Victoria it might have needed to be supported by pastoral activities as well. Would really be interesting to hear from an actual expert who studies African history beyond Egypt and Ethiopia. lol.

@MarkVrem 3 года назад

@@matamatosa8898 Yes there was a Kingdom that bordered Egypt and also during Roman times, pretty much Lybia. They were horrible people from what I read if we judge them by our standards. One of their sports were hunting the people south of them I believe they called them "Ethiopians". They would chase them down with chariots and the Ethiopians would run and hide in caves. Inside the caves they found the artwork of depictions of the Chariot hunts. I remember the Lybian King and either the Egyptians or Romans got into an argument because I think the Egyptians were freely trading with this "Sub-Saharan" culture. The Lybians were mad because they considered that culture as their subject or possession, and wanted the trade going thru them. Something in that essence at least, been a few years since I read that on like Wikipedia lol.

The late Cheikh Anta Diop put it aptly when he said that they define white in the broadest sense possible so as to try to accommodate as much civilizations as possible for themselves, while defining blackness in the narrowest sense so as to limit it only to those south of the sahara, even at times defining it even narrower to certain language groups e.g Bantus.

@CandySlim501 2 года назад

Upper "Egypt" is considered the land to the SOUTH, as the Nile River flows from south to North and to my understanding that's how the ancient people categorized it initially. It's the eurocentric mapping of the world that has ppl thinking upper Egypt is in the north but the ancient ppl called interior Africa 'upper' as the Nile flows from the mountains of Tanzania and Uganda DOWN to Egypt. So it's most logical that the civilization(s) started in the south and flowed down the river (up north) as the rivers buoyancy allowed ppl to set sail down the river (north) and CONTINUE to create and develop from the civilization that that started in the interior like the ancient ppl of Egypt themselves said. See Dr. Joseph Ben Jochannan, Ashrwa Kwesi, Anthony Browder, Dr. Cheik Anta Diop, Martin Bernal and others

@Sema-Tawy Год назад

Yes Upper Egypt is South Egypt and Lower Egypt is North Egypt as per the flow of the nile, but that doesn’t mean that it started with the sources of the Nile 6500 km away. For Ancient Egyptians, Egypt is divided in 2: Upper (from the southern border with Nubia starting from the first cataract in Aswan to the beginning of the delta area and Lower from Delta to the Mediterranean in the North. Ancient Egyptians called Egypt “the Two Lands” and king was referred to as Nesw (Upper), Bity (Lower) means king of the Two Lands (each part had its own crown, red Upper and white Lower combined in one crown) and each had its own sign en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenomen_(Ancient_Egypt) Ancient Egyptians recognized their southern border and their southern enemies as Nubia, which they called Nehs So since the beginning of their civilization and during the first dynasties, these were their land and they didn’t recognize or mention any parts further south.

The obsession over ancient Egypt is uncanny and it shows, everyone wants to relate to it as it benefits themselves and their people. Ancient Egypt was very much an African civilization just as ancient Rome was a European civilization. If anything, later dynastic periods show ancient Egyptians getting lighter and that could be a result of intermixing with other outside groups. But I think it’s obvious that pre dynastic and earlier periods consisted of a people’s indigenous to the continent ie Northeast Africa and if this is hard to understand than just hang it up people and move on 🥴

In a totally segregated era, folks of Middle Eastern descent (there were quite a few; New Orleans had been the port of entry for many middle eastern folks), and Italians, of which there were a huge number in the Mississippi delta (Post civil war, whole villages had been brought in to work in agriculture) went to white schools. According to the older white folks, they were'nt REALLY white, and were discriminated against in many ways. They fought to be white. As many white folks moved away, and some institutions needed more numbers/resources, they moved up in the social hierarchy. This was facilitated by intermarriage and increasing economic clout.

The order was to take Archimedes alive but when a soldier found an old Man scribbling in the dirt, and he did not immediately get up,the soldier killed him. It was Archimedes. And at another time, one of his books was partially erased and made into a psalmist. Probably by a religious person who could not understand what was written as it was a mathematical treatise. All writing undergoes changes in both figure and context including Sanskrit, so a quick glance at an ancient text could easily be misunderstood, even those of Islamic contemplations on the Suras. There can also be such contemplation that does not agree with what one may have been taught. There is a difference in a scholastic treatise and an extreme religious interpretation. Historically, Islam has been known for its scholarship.but some are determined to undermine that for power.

Genetic information states otherwise. Not white, but not Sub-Saharan either "An international team of scientists, led by researchers from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, successfully recovered and analyzed ancient DNA from Egyptian mummies dating from approximately 1400 BCE to 400 CE, including the first genome-wide nuclear data from three individuals, establishing ancient Egyptian mummies as a reliable source for genetic material to study the ancient past. The study, published today in Nature Communications, found that modern Egyptians share more ancestry with Sub-Saharan Africans than ancient Egyptians did, whereas ancient Egyptians were found to be most closely related to ancient people from the Near East." "The study found that ancient Egyptians were most closely related to ancient populations in the Levant, and were also closely related to Neolithic populations from the Anatolian Peninsula and Europe. "The genetics of the Abusir el-Meleq community did not undergo any major shifts during the 1,300 year timespan we studied, suggesting that the population remained genetically relatively unaffected by foreign conquest and rule," says Wolfgang Haak, group leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena. The data shows that modern Egyptians share approximately 8% more ancestry on the nuclear level with Sub-Saharan African populations than with ancient Egyptians. "This suggests that an increase in Sub-Saharan African gene flow into Egypt occurred within the last 1,500 years," explains Stephan Schiffels, group leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena. Possible causal factors may have been improved mobility down the Nile River, increased long-distance trade between Sub-Saharan Africa and Egypt, and the trans-Saharan slave trade that began approximately 1,300 years ago."

Egypt (Kemet) civilization was wholly a Black African civilization that was propelled by the gift of Nile River that originated at Lake Victoria and flows through Uganda and South Sudan (Nubia) through Ethiopia into Egypt (kemet). The Romans ruled Egypt for nearly 700 years before the Arabs (Middle easterners), in December 639, conquered the ancient African kingdom. The Muslim conquest of Egypt was led by the army of 'Amr ibn al-'As, took place between 639 and 646 AD and was overseen by the Rashidun Caliphate. It ended the seven-century-long period of Roman reign over Egypt that began in 30 BC. The present day Egyptians are not original natives; those Black Nubians on the Aswan Dam were the natives. Ancient Egypt stretches to the present day Sudan and part of Ethiopia (Cush) not this modern demarcation by European colonialist.

Marxist development economists in the 1970's were first to employ the term sub-Saharan, not as some sort of value judgment but as an acknowledgement that Marx's Asian Mode of Production paradigm didn't really apply to the economies of countries that were generally south of the Sahara desert. They wondered about how and why production and consumption patterns were so different in those countries. The term got picked up in the 1980's as a catch-all to replace the older term Black Africa, still used in the 1960's. Currently the term sub-Saharan has become a categorical omnibus with supposed explanatory power in geography, history, sociology, politics, economics and lately even human genetics. It is a term cherished by social media warriors of rightist, race-baiting, reactionary bent who relish the fiction of a vast impenetrable desert drawing an ethnic curtain between the Africans living on the Mediterranean seaboard and Africans living in savanna zones and humid forests. With the smallest efforts the term sub-Saharan, as brandished by these lackeys, falls away and is revealed to be no more than wishful thinking.

@Daniel E. This difference is relatively new. Even ancient M2 haplogroup in North Africa relates to E1 groups in the horn, which is also "sub Saharan".

@@rififienforce I haven't got a fkn clue what you're on about mate. Horn of Africa? Sudan? You're barkers up the wrong tree. But by all means have at it if it means ish to you. "Woke" not a word that stings, if your aiming to sting. Don't even know what "woke" means...I doubt you do either. If u think you've got tight genetics to wave about, be my effing guest: link it and we'll let the smart punters pick it to pieces, ya habibi. Let's really see how your sleepy Asia origins in Sudan story supports today's liberal usage of "sub-Saharan".

@frankscott1708 Год назад

@@fabbeyonddadancer The assertion I am making is that the term, the word, "sub-Saharan" is new (1980's) and based in Marxist economics. I am not making a ridiculous claim that there are no actual differences between north African and populations and populations in other parts of Africa. Nor am I saying that those differences are somehow new. It is this term "sub-Saharan" that is new and it is being given explanatory power, categorical power that it does not have...usually in the mouths of people who are ignorant of African geography, history, genetics, economics. If you care to search the term "sub-Saharan" you will see its roots in Marxist economics starting as early as 1972 in work by Paul Beckett but doesn't get popularized generally until the 1980's by people like Jean Copans.

Bottom line, "sub-saharan" is racist terminology and needs to be treated as such. Africans saturated ALL of Africa for well over 200k years and they still exist in countries located in the northern portion of the continent, regardless of the influx of Arabs in the 600ce era. It's just another Eurocentric moniker with ulterior motives that needs to quit being used.

The thing is they are disingenuous because they always compare the skulls of egyptians with west africans. They never compared skulls of egyptian mummies with east africans such as ethiopians and somalis. Africans are diverse. Different regions have different skulls and features!

@KillahManjaro Год назад

The idea of Sub-Saharan is nuts when you think about it. modern Humans came out of Africa and for some reason the ones that remained somehow did not explore other regions. Madness. Firstly the Sahara wasn't always a desert and the amount of genetic diversity on that continent is mindblowing. You can't get such diversity without people moving around from region to region over thousads of year, plus the Nile is still there. African history is the only history that's political.

So how would you distinguish between two different Africans from completely separate regions of the continent with completely different features not knowing the exact country they came from if both individuals were named Mohammed and I wanted to know which Mohammed you were talking about ? Lol 😆

That’s, right, I have always said that the term “sub Saharan “ is a racist term, designed to elevate the people who originated from Turkey and Syria who now reside in the Northern part of the continent.It’s another black put down term concocted by the dirty dog “classic “ western scholars.
