Yes I am so glad that there are more and more channels talking about the positivity of Africans and people of African descent when it comes down to history.
Our ancestors are everyone's ancestors. Humans come from Africa. The oldest stone tools, 3-million-years-old, come from Lake Victoria, the Nile River source, in Kenya.
I am Greek and will always say that the Greeks learned everything from Black Africans. Herodotus and several other ancient Greek historians paid due allegiance and credit in their own writings. Black Africans were the creators, Greeks were the conveyors.
True. They also spoke about who the real Israelites were as well. When Thales of Miletus studied in Kemet, when he returned home, he spoke with Pythagoras and told him that he must go to Kemet and study. Pythagoras was very grateful to Thales upon his return.
@@JBGAMBIT Indeed. The Greeks literally studied at the feet of their Black African masters. "Master" was the term used by students toward their instructors, and to show proper respect, they sat on the floor or ground at the feet of their instructors. In some areas of Greece, Black Africans were held in absolute awe and were even DEIFIED. I am proud that my Greek ancestors paid such due homage. However, the later European historians outside Greece could not bring themselves to admit that a white people had been CIVILIZED by the Black man. This infuriates me to no end.
@@nassauguy48 Very True; All you can do is say what you know. Don’t let those people affect your vibration. Everything comes in due time, and that’s not a bad thing.. it just “Is”. As I always say, everything is ‘Cyclical’; None of us would be here if it weren’t for our Mothers Cycle. 😊 Revelation 3:9, KJV: Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
I am kind of blown away that a conversation like this can even take place. I just wanna point out that Socrates did not look like a Grecian person... He actually seems to have looked a lot like a short Samuel L. Jackson.
I’m glad information I’ve known since my days at college during the 60’s are still available. If WE don’t recognize Our History , NO ONE WILL 💪🏿👨🏿💻👨🏿⚕️👨🏿⚕️👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
The book....The Royal African war elephant has many rare images of African regions that tamed and trained elephants from the north, the south, the east and the west of Africa. The Royal African war elephant is a game changer to African history.
One thing for sure… Mother Africa has spread her beautiful leaves throughout the world, like a tree in the wind. Wherever we land our culture lands with us. Fashion, swag, braids, hairstyles, artistry, intelligence, technology, athleticism and the looks😍 I am so proud of the melanin that glows from within..
Neil deGrasse Tyson makes a very compelling observation. I will like to add that until such time that Africans are able to speak one language from cradle to university, finding the smartest person there will be nearly impossible. For the rest of the world, this is the norm but for Africans, it is a language barrier. Most things that do not rely on language have been discovered there. The smartest person in the world is probably living somewhere in a village in Africa not ever having set a foot in a classroom.
App❤eartus how come the japanise is more advance tha the rest of the world per capital and india n pakistan provide better mathematician they can do calculus way faster than texas instrument quicker than the calculator
The problem is leadership. African people are capable of anything. African leaders are mostly just capable of lying, cheating, and stealing. It's not an easy problem to solve.
Others benefit/prosper due to our lack of success. When we succeed, exploitation will decrease/ be extinguished hence the need to hide our history, diminish our accomplishments and keep us from utilizing our resources/assets.
@@MsShevl one of our resources/assets we seem to habitually underutilize is the head under our hat. My Mother always admonished me and my siblings to use our head for more than a hat rack!
Great video! NDT is one of the best science explainers on Earth because he learned to express very complex ideas in sound bites, usually less than two minutes. Pron.: Neel *Dig Grass* Tie Son. Not: Dig Grassy
Just to point it out, Erasto Mpemba (b. Unknown date in 1950. d. May 14, 2023) discovered that water brought to a boil freezes faster than cold water. Mpemba was not a scientist when he made this discovery, he was a schoolboy who earned money working at an ice cream factory, and it was by bring rushed while making ice cream that he found this out. When Mpemba first brought it up in his high school science class, he was mocked by other students AND the teacher. A famous physicist gave a lecture at his school and they had a Q&A at the end and Mpemba asked the physicist why this happens. Again, he was mocked, but the physicist looked into it and saw it was correct and he and Mpemba authored a scientific paper on it at that time that was peer-reviewed but not published till Mpemba was in college. Other scientists had noted this in the past, but Mpemba was the first modern scientist to look into it with modern instruments; he was the person who found out WHY it happens. He did not sit down and do a million experiments, he put out a call for suggestions as to why it happens and then researched the most plausible suggestions that came in. Our understanding of the Mpemba Effect is the result of global science and curiosity brought about by some African kid who noticed his ice cream cooled faster than that of his coworkers. It has to do with boiled water having a certain mollecular alignment and its "preference" to remain at a more stable equilibrium in that state.
@@onlythetruth883 I couldn't say. My wild guess: If it is tap water, it could be that the non-water particles that normally sink to the bottom are becoming evenly distributed as the water reaches that equilibrium; and because it then cools fairly evenly from that boiling state while retaining that molecular alignment, each molecule now has stucture that includes equal distribution of those non-water particles. According to the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin it is all boiled water, not just tap water. *When the water is boiled, the dissolved air leaves the water and the result is a flat taste. After boiling water, aerate the water by pouring it back and forth a few times between two containers. This adds air to the water and it will taste better.* According to Quorra, it is both: *Oxygen can dissolve in water and affect its taste, and after being boiled and left to cool, the water may have lost some of its dissolved oxygen. Additionally, other substances from the environment, such as minerals and bacteria, can seep into the water, altering its taste.*
I've always believe we're very smart, creative, talented and resilient. If we can come together effectively we can become much more successful and powerful beyond imagination. Don't let others races try to use mental assassination tactics to put our achievement and potential into shackles.
Sorry Home Team, The Iron deposits at Ngwenya in Eswatini were worked on 42,000 years ago, making it the oldest mine in the world. It was for the extraction of red hematite and speculative (sparkling ores). UNESCO Heritage site.
I have always been a proud black american. We are all different and connected at the same time. I can say one thing as a fact in modern history black folks did not destroy the environment or bring terror death to the entire world. I think Africa will dominate the future with places like India. If I live to a hundred I hope to see a day when people fight to immigrate to Africa.
It is 100% coming. But we Africa of the diaspora have to work to make that happen. Instead of us continually using our energy and talent to further white supremacy, we need to use these talents and gifts to support the motherland.
You sure dont act like you proud to be a so called black American. All what we have created & influenced for the entire world, you give credit to Africa. Thats insane especially given we didnt come from them. Learn your REAL history & stop listening to this channel. All its doing is furthering that indoctrination of the greatest lie ever told.
I am amazed and excited to see such wonderful discoveries happen. It looks like the iron age studies have pushed back even further, like 3000 BCE! And Carbon steel?! What would our world be like if "the west" had not destroyed so much knowledge.
Diversity is FAR more than skin deep. That's why a chinese dude in Taiwan can donate a kidney to you, but your cousin's perfectly functioning kidney might not be a better match.
The smartest always found in Africa. This is the reality the world refuses to acknowledge because of the stereotyping, teaching them Africa is “inferior.”
Interesting presentation Home Team. I know that Africa has the most diverse ethnicity, genetics and phenotypes in the world. Mr. Degrasse's theory may be correct. People on opposite ends of various spectrums may be in Africa such as the fastest and the slowest, etc. Also, since man began in Africa, it makes sense that Africans were the first learned people in history, the first to smelt iron, etc.
It is true Africans are the most pioneers in science.I am an example,I solved the energy crises of the world ten years ago but who am I to bring it out,it is still sitting in my laboratory in Ghana.
I wouldn't disagree that Africa has some of (if not *the*) best people at a variety of things / everything. Though I disagree about anybody or any group being more intelligent than others, as the typical understanding of intelligence is inherently flawed. It (that is, the very concept of intelligence) comes from a eurocentric idea of mental understandings and puts them into a classification hierarchy, with knowledge, aka book smarts (i.e. things we can learn from books, whether learned thence or not) being The Intelligence and all other types of understandings not considered important. I do understand the importance, though, of uplifting one's self and one's group in a society in which the group is consistantly put down; however, some systems/standards don't need more people to be pushed up on, but dismantled entirely. By the standards put forth, though my people (indigenous north americans) likely had the world's first bronze age (if we count copper as a bronze, which many seem to), it was also mostly abandoned after only ~2.000 years, with only small amounts being utilised and never on a mass scale. And our entire Hemisphere didn't invent the wheel except as playthings for children. There were, however, practical reasons for both that a discussion of Ages misses; so utilising such as a stand-in for intelligence potentially puts forth a horizontally-racist idea that my people (and potentially all indigenous americans north, central, south, and carribean) were some of, if not /the/ least intelligent... which is very much not true (we had some of the best governments of the world, astronomy from 4k years ago riviling the best of the 1800s, and some of the happiest cultures of the world pre European Invasion, etc) from a broader perspective, there's multiples kinds of what could be called 'intelligence/s': knowledge, educational (i.e. able to learn), spatial, emotional, collective, moral, problematic (i.e. solving problems), risky (i.e. risk analysis), social, verbal, spiritual, memory, artistic/creativity, abstraction, and chronometric (i.e. knowing time and how long things take). I would expect Black people and africans and people of african descent to be in the running for highest and lowest of all of them, just like i would say that basically every group likely has people at the top and bottom of all. I am not here to say that Black people or africans (or people of african descent) are not smart. (in fact, it would be more accurate that i am arguing that white people / europeans are not.) I am suggesting that the measure of intelligence at all is to grasp at a racist science that can do nothing but harm non-europeans by playing into, as the standard/s are inherently imbued with scientific racism as it was modeled in a way to put whites/europeans on top (and not even all whites/europeans, but specific groups thereof) such that reforming the system is both not possible, nor desirable. (aside: the E in the name 'DeGrasse' is silent... though that doesn't add/subtract anything from the discussion. i'm just particular about people pronouncing names correctly (of all cultures))
The continient isnt called Alkebulan (oldest Nubian and kinetic text) meaning: "mother of mankind" and "Garden of Eden," for nothing. Eden had it all and still does.
Truth,we are teachers of the world,we as a people must bring ower young up in the right way,we must get back to education in the history of ower people and we must try to find ower roots,we all ower it to ower self,if nothing else for ower young,,,,
Study European History and then study African History preferably pre colonialism. Oh boy there going to be some Europeans that won’t be able to stomach that Africa and its standing Empires were at a point more advanced than Europe and the rest of the world for that matter. I believe it was the slave trades and lack of weapons development that led to the down fall of its empires. There is a 9 volume encyclopedia tiled “General African History” that was completed by unesco. Once you read these books you feel a sense of pride as an African how advanced African was.
All these is not relevant to us anymore,talking,talking and talking ,with out making a change or an effect onto saving the Africans and it lands from the scavengers.
So much time and energy wasted on uncompromising ignorance. The paragraph from de Volney at 9:27 shows his cognitive dissonance on one hand insisting that Egyptians must have been colonists themselves without native African origin, but at the same time plainly recognizing the contradiction in the African ascendency of art and architecture that surrounded him, with his own eyes. Thank you for the episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a gift to Humanity.
I think all continent are going to have very smart people just need to give them the opportunity for the used of their ideas and intelligences I believe that but it has many different peoples hate dumb
Google Njinga she was an African queen who sold over 200,000 of her own African people to the Portuguese at the start of the slave trade. Go ahead look it up 👀
I don't trust Neil but sometimes he tells the truth. But, at least he's not worse than Thomas Sowell who kisses them people's behinds every chance he gets and embarrasses us on a daily basis.
I don't think Thomas Sowell is the kind of person responsible for embarrassing American black culture and communities... I remember Family Matters, Fresh Prince, Sanford and Sons and Bill Cosby. Now it's mostly Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, wives of Hip-Hop, and Rap culture that glorifies the crime and rot in some communities.
@frankcrosby6222 We looked up to many horrible people for years, all that time means nothing when you find out who they really are. You should be offended that you were lied to.
@@ShadowMan23914 black culture, as described by Thomas Sowell was robbed and supplanted by bad English, Irish and Scottish culture. Ironically, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Lebanese, Nigerian and Caribbean immigrants do VERY WELL in America.
@@ShadowMan23914 notice it's not racism but cultural differences that make more differences. Look up "brain-drain" and "middleman " cultures in history as described by Dr. THOMAS SOWELL!!!
