Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of ancient civilizations continues with a video on the Kingdom of Nubia - a rich civilization that started during the Bronze Age as Kerma and then became one of the first Christian realms, forming a unique brand of this religion based on local traditions. This kingdom in the heart of Africa managed to keep its faith despite Muslim expansion and even stemmed it for a time.

Kushites were no joke, when strong they were a difficult people for any expanding empire to handle, this is why the Assyrians even though they defeated the Kushites didn't try to go into Sudan and finish them off it had cost them too much to take Egypt from them. This is also why Rome signed a favourable peace treaty after a brief war with Amanirenas.

@samiral-ali1805 3 года назад

No not really! Arabians were not interested in sub saharan Africa, they rather concentrated on the Mediterranean basin ie North Africa. But when Arabians finally turned to the sub saharan Africa many centuries later, they took the entire East coast of Africa with a blink of an eye from the Portuguese, and lasted there four centuries until Swahili nationalists massacred them in the sixtees (on live TV!) and Arab rule came to an end.

@@Numba003I know it’s a little late but I can give you a brief breakdown of Nubian conversion to islam, it started very early on after the Nubians defeated the Arab expansion into Nubia, part of the treaty was to allow mosques to be built in nubia and free religion practice for muslims, this in turn slowly started a small muslim population, after than islam started gradually expanding by peaceful means and around the 13th century priests became imams and churches were converted into mosques but there was still a size able christian population, forward to sudanese independence nubian christians still existed even in the early 90’s till the democratic government got overthrown in sudan and the new regime started arabizing and islamizing the north and south, this failed heavily in the south and caused civil war but in the north it sort of worked, today nubian christians are very few and isolate themselves and don’t marry into other nubians, however the language and heritage is still alive and there are hundred of thousands of nubians who speak their native tongue, despite neighboring arab nations nubian culture thrived and influenced modern Sudanese culture, today nubians speak both arabic and their native tongue but back in the 90’s it was common for a nubian to not even speak arabic, that’s pretty much a brief oversimplified lesson about nubian culture and religion.

@Shy Cracker not accounting for Aksum South of Nubia, Nubia isn't on the fringes, that would be the Ethiopians that interestingly enough don't follow that trend staying ethnically, religiously and linguistically consistent from before the Nubia to this very day. Only thing really changing was the amount of territory they held, naturally territory that wasn't always there's was inhaibited by different peoples but the highland Ethiopians (who historically ruled) have not changed in the above respects though they were in frequent contact with Rome, Greece, India before the Arab and Muslim world dominated Africa and the Middle-East, even then they didn't fall like the Nubians did. Losing their identity to outsiders, today Sudan speaks Arabic and practices Islam, it's sad really as it was all done by force/conquest and not by choice.

@darkzi1431 3 года назад

@@LegacyHeroGaming Completely wrong analysis. What you failed to understand is Nubia does not = Sudan. Nubians inhabit the lands on the banks of the Nile from Khartoum Sudan to Aswan Egypt. Sudan is a modern British imperial creation adding many ethnic groups to one country. Their isn't one Sudanese look or ethnic group. Nubians in their ancestral homelands still speak Nobiin, Fadika, kunuz. Maybe you should do more research before talking and slandering another people's dignity. Those who claim speak Arabic may well be Arabian Bedouins and a mix of Nubian but they are located in central Sudan. North Sudan are Nubians, west are west African origin, east Sudan are east African, southern sudan are central sudanese

@LegacyHeroGaming 3 года назад

@Darkzi 1 Doesn't change anything I've said LMAO. NONE of the local people inhabiting the land natively spoke Arabic or invented/asked for Islam. Yet what is Sudan today? Enough said. Regardless if their Nubian, or another group, no matter what tribe or creed, the LAND now known as SUDAN, I didn't say South Sudan, I didn't say any other country besides the now Arabic speaking, Islam worshipping nation of Sudan. No where at the federal level can you find any remnants of the native culture, it has been arabized, even classified as members of the Arab League, if that doesn't tell you enough already then no amount of supposed research that can cure you of lacking common sense. This isn't slander this is a sad sad case of colonialism doing what it does to rich and beautiful cultures, exterminating and assimilating them. No slander, just sad truth. Ethiopia was never conquered, and look at it, everyone speaks the languages native to their people and land that were spoken for thousands of years everywhere in the country, King Ezana willingly converted to Christianity in the 4th century and Ethiopia to this day is still majority Coptic. Ottomans, Persians, Kush, Egypt, Adal, Italy, how many outside cultures tried to invade Ethiopia and failed over thousands of years? All of them. Ethiopia has lost battles but never lost a war against outsiders, you can tell by how the people are the same as they were at the time of Aksum and prior. Completely different to current day Sudan. This isn't a dick measuring contest, this is history. If you feel intimidated and lesser that is your own fault, I think Nubian and Kush history is beautiful and I love my African brothers but don't pretend that hundreds of years of being conquered and colonized hasn't drastically changed and shifted the people who faced cultural and religious genocide under Arab and European rule.

It’s important to know that the Nile flows from the south out to the Mediterranean not the other way around. Egypt was so fertile because all the minerals from the eroded soil ended up at the delta and so on.

@pruthweeshasalian3688 3 года назад

Yeah I was kinda surprised when the narrator said "the Nile doesn't stop flowing where ancient Egypt ended" (which it does).

As an Egyptian I'm amazed how the Nubians managed to preserve their culture and language to this day. My Nubian friend speaks of old traditions still practiced over in the South of Egypt (the Nubian part) unlike the North around Cairo. Even tho I don't think Egypt retaining Christianity really matters in the current somewhat secular atmosphere of Egypt it's still depressing that we lost our Coptic language and culture as neither preserved through the Arabization of the country but it's great to know our Nubian neighbors still preserved their own.

@Thenoisyoneyes 3 года назад

@Rusty Shackleford The Copts never vanquished, I come from a Muslim background but I'm fully Coptic because Copt means Egyptian not Christian although that term has been associated with Christians over the last few centuries. With that said the Coptic (Egyptian) identity did vanquish unfortunately

@LegacyHeroGaming 3 года назад

I wouldn't say they have. Everyone speaks Arabic, everyone is Muslim. A better example of preservation is the neighbour's of the Nubians or Sudanese, the Ethiopians. They kept their language, religion, and traditions for 1000's of years, due to them never being conquered by outside forces during their entire history. They fought off the Egyptians, Nubians, Ottomans, Adalites and Italians successfully without failure remaining Christian (first to adopt it as a state religion with Armenia) and speaking Ge'ez liturgically and Amharic nationally (descendent language of Ge'ez)

They debate all kinds of people including Muslims, but any one can go there and meet and talk, usually issues, problems or maybe just to debate religion or philosophy, depends on your view of aims. I learnt some of there history by listening to them in debates and conversations. Especially about these histories on Christianity, Islam and The Egyptian religion. I agree this is interesting history and should be talked about more.

I hope proud Europeans that don’t know anything about Africa and thinks it’s one country should watch these videos. Many empires, kingdoms and great civilizations have come and gone in Africa.

I think you meant to say Americans. At least here in Europe we are taught about other countries in history and geography, especially Africa

@@mister_grizzlee5105 no we're not lmfao, we are very eurocentric (as we should, it's our little corner of the world), cover early american history, egypt and colonial overtakings briefly, no way in hell have i ever learned about the yellow river or the people of senegal. i know we have a superiority complex over americans but cool it down a little, we aren't taught all that much.

To be honest the whole world sees The the second largest continent covering about one-fifth of the total land surface of Earth as a village. It doesn’t matter if you are in US, Europe or Asia. Some people know something but still it’s not enough.

@@Sunrah To be fair, you don't have a entire special class of people who through a bunch of crazy history and circumstances have this weird kinda scuffed place in society to explain. I'm refering to African-Americans, at least the African immigrants in Europe know where they come from, there identity and tribe and all that. Without having any of that, you get the crazy shit we have in the states where blacks are having pitiful identity crises like the Black Israelite movement.

@@krankarvolund7771 Only their religion changed, the culture remained. If you look at the spreading of Christianity around the world you will notice that each civilization had adopted its own ,,kind'' of Christianity, as they could not forsake their entire history. Christianity was adapted by them to ensure continuation of the ancient traditions.

Did you know South Sudan is still majority Christian? Though the north has been islamised and it's culture arabised, the south kept their allegence to Jesus, Christianity and kept their original traditions intact. What an intriguing kingdom most people have never heard of!

@Argacyan 3 года назад

looked this up now & it seems South Sudan is actually majority catholic & anglican. The only traditions kept actually intact from before British colonialism are the African folk religions.

Well they were United and the south broke away in 2011 because of tribal conflicts which was supported by foreign countries to divide the country, I’m afraid that the north soon might get divided due to the absence of order and spread of anarchy also foreign hidden hands play important role in division. Unfortunately, most of the Middle East is struggling against splits due to coups and unsuccessful revolutions
