The species of cow that are sacred to Hindus are also found in East Africa, the only place outside if India that they are found. Apparently certain groups in East Africa consider them sacred too so this might be part of the same cultural exchange
As a Sudanese, I remember cattle crossing the main road in my town every Wednesday. It was a magnificent sight, a child much younger than I herding thousands of huge equatorial long horns.
Africa is never my home. WHY DID THEY SELL US TO WHITES IF WE ARE THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ????? Nigerians never sold Nigerians. Ghanaians never sold Ghanaians. They sold Black Hebrews who came from Israel to Africa to get free from their enemies. Thanks for selling us Africa, Deuteronomy 28.

As a Rwandan-Canadian, I was told Stories of how the Tutsi Tribe came from up north near egypt and acient Sudan (land of Kush in my opinion) and travelled with these long horned cows. These cows came from india originally, so through my deductions, Tutsi Tribe and sudanese people( tallest africans in Africa back then) were the original kushite people who ruled over egypt at one point, after many battles for the throne, they left that side of africa and set up shop in mordern day Rwanda with the cows they got from india?(took what they had left and dipped?)..... my heads spinning, thank you for making this, your videos are soooooo important, these conversations need to be had, the history is soooo deep and rich, and goes far beyond slavery, if we can get over that hill, we will see the whole story, please keep up the great work!!
you should talk about the famous east african forehead and it's orgins haha! Rwandan, Somalians, burundians, etheopians, we all tend to have a large forhead, some more then others, but other african races do not, i know there's a story to be told there!
@@ItsMAJJOR Ankole/Watutsi cattle is a cross breed between Egyptian long horned cattle and Indian Zebu cattle that created the long horn humpless cattle. The zebu cattle was already present in Eritrea/Ethiopia which was bred somewhere in that region of North Africa/North East Africa and then migrated along the banks of the Nile to Great Lakes region by Cushitic nomads. For example some Tutsis and south Cushitic people carry an E-M293(E1b1b) which is associated with the spread of Pastoral Neolithic. This Haplogroup originated in Southern Eritrea/Northern Ethiopia. Long-horned, humpless domestic cattle were well established in the Nile Valley by 4000 B.C. These cattle, known as the Egyptian or Hamitic Longhorn, appear in pictographs in Egyptian pyramids. Over the next twenty centuries (2.000 years), the Egyptian Longhorn migrated with its owners from the Nile to Ethiopia, and then down to the southern reaches of Africa. By 2000 B. C., humped cattle (Longhorn Zebu) from Pakistan and India reached Africa. When these Zebu reached the region now known as Ethiopia and Somalia, they were interbred with the Egyptian Longhorn. The admixture produced -- the Sanga -- spread to the Sudan, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, and other parts of Eastern Africa.
@@SageNomad interesting, well Tutsi people were nomadic before settling in Rwanda, travelling with the Watutsi cows, the traditional Rwandan dance is inspired by the cow as well! Ancient history African history is fascinating!
@@ahkzain9926 Pakistan and Bangladesh was carved from India in 1947. They were first known as West Pakistan and East Pakistan. East Pakistan changed it's name to Bangladesh.
Drusilla Dunjee Houston’s work, “The Wonderful Ethiopian and Cushitie Empire” is a wonderful read and touches on this subject. Dr. Rashidi also has some great lectures regarding the African presents in Asia.
The monsoon winds that blow from East Africa to India helped facilitate this contact and relationship. Many words are shared between Swahili and Indian languages.
You have to have evidence to say it's a fact. Just because they had contact doesn't mean that the depiction of Apedemak was influenced by India. Some will then claim he's a Asian God and not a African God.
This is a great observation, I always wondered about the Indian cultural influence in some parts of East and North West Africa. This video, kind of connected the missing link for me of how that Indian influence established.
@@kahlidabdalla6716 I would think it's the opposite. Researchers have theorized that India was the first to be populated by Africans, meaning India is the first destination for the "out of Africa" theory. If this is the case, east/north Africa would likely have influenced India, and not the other way around. However, given their proximity to one another, we could guess that they have historically had profound impact on one another.
@@ahkzain9926 henna actually originates in ancient Egypt, which continues to supply henna today. Morocco and Sudan also have thousands of years history with henna. All of these countries are in Africa. And yes due to cultural exchange things that started in Africa or Asia or Europe would eventually end up around the world, similarly to how Twitter, Facebook, RU-vid, and heck, the internet was first utilized in the US and is now used around the world, and has connected the world.
Great information always about african history and the great leaders and people of the past but what our people really need is the bridge connected of where these people are specifically today. Connecting the greatness of the past with the low and common estate of the people today will inspire the diaspora and motherland to greatness again
Indus Kush. Note the similarities between the Hindu deities and the Neteru. Kush, Nubia, Ta-Meri, all shared similar spiritual systems. When Kush brought their influence to Asia things have since been reversed I think. That's why they now say India influenced Kush instead of it being the other way around. Africans had fully developed civilizations long before India even existed. Similar to the Greeks, Assyrians and Romans, the people who would come to be known as Indians were heavily influenced by African culture. Check out the classic books, Destruction of black civilization, Stolen Legacy and Introduction to African Civilization for info on this, just to name a few. Just food for thought.
The Destruction of the Black Civilization was a book I read in my freshman year in collage. It put so many things together and confirmed what I felt in my spirit. Also it’s important to mention that according to science the migration from Africa. The Indian sub continent was the first place settled by our ancestors
While there may be some cultural influence from Kush, the Hindu deities are plainly Indo-European, related to those of Greece, Rome, the ancient Germans etc., since they are, you know, Indo-European. By the way, India started existing around 1950. If you mean ancient Hindu cultures, that's not India.

@hoodbridgeShakeproto Even though you are referring to an allegorical biblical story that was written by the same people that conqured Some of the tribesmen of Kush. The people did exist and still exist to this very day.
On the elephant part, Africa is also full of elephanta like India. The trick may be to see the tusks or lack thereof. Indian elephants either don't have tusks or no prominent tusks while African elephants have large and long prominent tusks. Depicting elephants with small or no tusks or with ornate south Asian decor on them could indicate Indian cultural influence, otherwise the depictions could easily be African elephants.
African elephants are bigger, and have larger ears, as well as known for not being able to be tamed. ucmp.berkeley.edu/mammal/mesaxonia/elephantidae.php
Well Jamaican food has more to do with the fact that South Asians were brought as indentured servants to Jamaica and influenced cuisine and enslaved Africans picked up the curry and other foods too as they became popular. There is Indian influence in East African cuisine though like chapati and curry or samosas
@@AP-pk6mk You are making me hungry I love me some chapati and samosas. My college friends from Uganda introduced me to chapati. Its the quickest tastiest snack.
More studies are needed on 'Out of India Theory'. Histories dating back thousands of years are recorded in ancient Hindu scriptures. It has connections with all the continents of the earth
Incredible. Is it possibly true that ancient Indian Sri Ram's son Kush, had a hand in establishing the African Kush Kingdom or was being referred to by the establishers? In the Vedas "Kurma" is the 2nd Maha Avatar of Vishnu, Sri Ram being the 7th. Also in the Vedas "Meru" is the abode of the gods at the center of the universe. Coincidence?
Yes ! You are correct . Lord Ramachandra sent one of his son , his name was Kus to rule Africa . India civilization is the most ancient civilization on this planet .
@@SJking-gk4goyou do know the story of rama predates almost all of other epics and scriptures in the world, including Egyptian stories which wasn't even a 1000 year close to the Indian ones.
We also have the Meru or Ameeru tribe in Kenya. They settled at the foothills of Mt Kenya/Mt Zion. Meru or Meroe is another name for Mountain or pyramids that were built to resemble the mountains.
I just read the Randi Haaland essay, thanks. However there are so many Indian and African scholars who have addressed this topic- examining the linguistic similarities. Drawing correlates linking the iconography of cultures, is an important direction to explore. It is imperative that scholars factor in, the oral histories of existing indigenous cultures today, who have retained cultural significators in modern day expression. Thank you.
Thanks and you are on the right track. I was actually doing greek history and came across many similarities between hindu gods and greek gods. But india was already buddist when Alexander conquered the north. .thanks. 😊
@@saedmohamud6760 oh okay well you probably won't believe this but Im currently reading this book called "Ancient African Kingdoms" by captivating history where archeologists studying rock paintings in Somalia noticed a painting of an elephant that was not identified as African. After researching structures of elephants body types specifically in the shape of its tusks they came to the belief that it was a Indian elephant and not African. Hannibal Barca from North Africa was also known for using war elephants from India. Not that it's a big deal but something to look into.
It would be good if you could do a video explaining why the civilisations in the area of modern Ethiopia are not grouped with those of ancient kush and Nubia. It seems that especially during the era of Christian Nubian states, Christian Ethiopia would be an extension of this legacy. Also I rarely hear of cultural links between this region and ancient kemet
@@FoodFromTheHornCA no doubt. I have always been taught to view kemet as a product of the people and cultures of the Nile. It just seems to me that if this holds true for the blue Nile as it does the white Nile their must be cultural linkages and interactions that are understated or just not known. The Greece/ Rome comparison is good but I think the Nile as a highway and source of life is a greater connecting force. Even so interactions between the Greeks and Romans are more well known then those between states on the Nile
@hoodbridgeShakeproto this doesn't really answer my original question but I think we have to be careful reading the Bible as a historical document. Also even by the biblical logic north Eastern Africa was already inhabited before Abraham so this narrative does not fit those people's descendants
Really interesting if you know much regarding the similarities between Buddhism and Animism. I feel this would be a wonderful episode. Loving your channel, thank you for creating it.
It's my understanding that the initial inhabitants of India were people from Africa, and there was always a relationship between Africa and India. A look at African influences on the spiritual and religious systems of the world be great
That was my understanding too. They're called Dravidians. Crazy part is the present day Indians who still have the dark skin are heavily discriminated against. "Fair" skin is promoted in Indian culture which seems like an ongoing trend in previously colonized areas
The hindu or EastIndian cultural(dress) is Ancient Sabaean(Ethiopian), just like the MiddleEastern dress code(turban, curved toe shoes, Alladin "genie of the lamp", robes,dagger) today considered ARAB or ISLAM gets its roots from SABAEANS[Ancient Ethiopia]. INDIA was once called WESTERN ETHIOPIA by the Greeks. Sabaeans[Ethiopians] ruled south Arabia, Yemen, North Africa. They civilized the Modern world.
@Homem D'Exercito Thousands of years ago many EastIndians were allowed to migrated to Ethiopia and Northeast Africa, on the outer parts of Africa not the interior, while the rest had to stay in India.
Saba was in Southern Yemen not in present Ethiopia which didn't exist at the time and much later time was called Abysinnia. Ethiopia is Greek name for Northern Sudan or Kingdom of Kush.
We are everywhere and our megalithic MAGNIFICENT BEAUTIFUL amazing exquisite structures are worldwide our history is FOREVER world history no one can or will forever wipe our history its will be here for ETERNITY
I think it’s a pretty well known fact that ancient dravidians came from kushite regions and dwelled in the southern regions. Hence the name of the river there called kush kadet, they founded the Indus Valley civilization and were conquered by the northern Aryan tribes from somewhere near Europe.
@@theunlimitedbible Yes davidians are red but Nubians are usually a dark black just they have a similar skin color to yours doesn't mean they're the same
Somalis have been using Basmati rice in their cuisine for over a millennia. Basmati or any rice for that matter is not grown on the Somali peninsula. You do the math.
Khas people lived in mountains of central Asia . They are the same Kassites who ruled Babylon and were also called Huns(Sains) and Kushanas in history. The Kassites of Babylons might be ancestors of Kush people of Africa.
Many scholars have concluded that Buddha is Nimrod. He reigned all that is hot from Spain to Japan. Imo when Nimrod was killed, this was the tower of babel moment, with no leader to unify the colonies, all the countries were left to their own devices, creating their own languages etc.
Kushites in Egyptian paintings were painted chocolate brown and Africans were represented by dark brown/reddish black, also the use of Sanskrit words in kushite seems to suggests a different story and a migration pattern.
It is an important link to highlight. But dates? Are you talking about the first few centuries BCE? Which dynasties were ruling east coast india at that stage?
Here's an 'African' (and Arab/Iraqi) expert- Abu Uthman al-Jahiz- He was an Arabic prose writer and author of works on Arabic literature, biology, zoology, history, early Islamic philosophy, Islamic psychology, Mu'tazili theology, and politico-religious polemics. Book of the Glory of the Black Race /From The Essays, c. 860 CE (excerpt): "They say : The blacks are more numerous than the whites. The whites at most consist of the people of Persia, Jibal, and Khurasan, the Greeks, Slavs, Franks, and Avars, and some few others, not very numerous; the blacks include the Zanj, Ethiopians, the people of Fazzan, the Berbers, the Copts, and Nubians, the people of Zaghawa, Marw, Sind and India, Qamar and Dabila, China, and Masin... the islands in the seas between China and Africa are full of blacks, such as Ceylon, Kalah, Amal, Zabij, and their islands, as far as India, China, Kabul, and those shores" And this citation is over 1,200 years old- the 800's during Medieval Islam.. This highly acclaimed Black Muslim scholar was very well aware of various black populations from Africa to Asia and was extremely proud of his heritage. It's a shame little is shown about him.
I ‘d like to hear of more research into this hypothesis... ideas and technologies between India and Africa might have flowed just as easily between Africa and India as they have been hypothesized to flow between the Near East and Africa; even the Greek or Roman Empires and Africa.
Mor studies of the Andaman Island could give information of How Africa met India. Instead of people using the Andamanese people for tourist attraction . They should treat them nicely gain trust and learn from them
Kushites or Cushites was the civilization in Africa established by the descendants of Hindu King "Kush" ( the Son of Hindu King RAM, also mentioned as RHAM that later became HAM).. In Ancient Indian texts, its mentioned that the earth is divided in 7 parts, Kush Land was Africa among them. Hence there were many similarities between Hinduism and Ancient African culture..
If interested check out Dr Clyde Winters. I think he wrote a couple of books on the subject. The influences appear to go both ways.In ancient times it look like the people themselves went both ways
African elephants are gigantic in size compared to Asian(Indian) elephants. Been to both places. I would imagine just by migration tendencies and trade patterns of the world that most of South East Asia (pacific islands) and Africa had interaction and merging of cultures before slave trade. Look at aboriginals in places like Australia, Tonga, and Paupa New Geniea.
Yes they Recognized that SITUATION ; so I would agree 👍; we must UNDERSTAND since we were the FIRST PEOPLE ON THIS WORLD 🌎! we should ACCEPT things that SHOW the REST OF THE WORLD 🌎 we were WHERE WE TRAVELED .

And upon his return to Greece, they gathered around and asked, ‘tell us about this great land of the Blacks called Ethiopia.’ And Herodotus said, “There are two great Ethiopian nations, one in Sind (India) and the other in Egypt.” Thank you for great content.
I read the book by drusila Dundee published in 1926. The Dravidian culture was kushite. Idk if it was indigenous or if it was imported. But u can see the parallel expressions. Archeologists called these people Hamite’s as to distinguish them from Negroes in West Africa. My lineage is West African. The only link we have with the wonderful of Kushites is the color. Dravidians have straight hair.
@@metatron0000 the dravidians are the natives or more correctly the historically dominant group in india. There notably darker then there northern counter parts. So hirot and dundee might have confused skin tone and shared culture via the indian trade link as direct kinship. But non the less rather intresting piece of evidence for such a trade link
@@metatron0000Well, we actual Dravidians (Blacks) today are a minority. We clearly have ancient African origin, our language script origin can be traced to central Africa. Most Dravidians have straight hair which is a mutation, but many of us also have thick curly hair similar to Africans... There's a lot of similarities between us and Africans. We actual Dravidians who are educated about history loves Africans :)
I would love to see a video on Nusantara's connection with Africa. A friend of mine did a great study on the origins of Marimba and found that the first marimba built were inspired by the Indonesian gamelan. I know there must be more to this connection and it has always fascinated me!
The god Shiva was an african god. Known as Sheba. He also signifies the brightest star called Aplha canis Majoris, or the dog star.. Ethiopians and Egyptian already knew this thousands of years ago. Yama the god of death (also Shiva) has his dogs to accompany him. People in india revere dogs also. I think theres also a tribe in Africa called Dogone . The word jata is also african.
Yes definitely kush people are part of Indian society I will tell you only one evidence for this Kush people belongs to part of old Indian History that is sanatana Dharma the best example for this is Sage Koushik is nothing but he Originated from this ancient Indo Kush Connection only then he became Sage Koushik of our ancient Indian History.
I came across an Indian woman who mentioned the fact that people in India fear black people (specifically Africans) I did not understand where that came from back then, and when I saw this documentary, I was under the impression that I will find some light on that matter.....is there any further studies or theories, that could shade more light on this issue?
I would try " When the World was Black" by Dr. Sujan Kumar Dass. There are two volumes, and I believe at least one of them touches on that particular subject.
Shes a racist indian woman who thinks black people are violent and barbaric which is why they 'fear' them, the same way people fear spiders and roaches. Really isnt a complicated concept.
Nah, some of them is just pure xenophobia. The brits treated black people poorly and made theories about how they are inferior and should be subjugated, those theories travelled with them in all dominions of the british empire, the biggest most populous of which was india, It was the old time so the word spread. Plus there are some modern examples of some africans being caught for for drug smuggling in india or the somalian pirates that infested the indian ocean. All in all there is a lot of misinformation and ignorance which should start to fade awat with a more connected world. I mean i have seen a lot indian vloggers travel to remote primitive tribes of africa, and you won't find one comment talking bad about them.
The jarawa is an "uncontacted" tribe living on an island that's a part of India appearing to be sub-Saharan African and have been there for centuries!!
first of all I'm not so sure or I'm not sold on the fact that India made introductions to Africa on those philosophical kind of issues because Africa has house a multitude of different positions on philosophy and lifestyle but I think even before this particular relationship began that they were prior relationships on top of that which is at a later date there's no mention of Africa and the silk road which I find absolutely astonishing but Africa is not in that conversation I did a little research and I realized the silk road went all the way to Temple too but I haven't heard a lot of conversation about that there's a strong relationship I think with Africa and India we share biologically a lot of the same expressions diseases color it's a different melanin that they have but they have a very strong melanin hair texture and philosophy and and writing as an early civilization but I would like to explore that even more because as I look especially on Eastern Africa I see a lot of things that I see in India and I'm not sure which way that River flowed whether it was coming into Africa or Africa has semblance of it and it float into India where it was becoming a more developed stylized clothing and lifestyle so all of this is very interesting I like to hear more.

The ancestors of ancient Egyptians were from land of punt present day Somalia. And Somalia is a cushitic country that traded with India since the beginning of time
You are making it seem like kush was borrowing these ideas and not the other way around. Kush is actually way older than india and had developed these iconographies long before. Also african crops/ foods like sorghum, millet etc... made their to india and played a big role in their development.
There is alot of similarities between kush and india , both kush and India are great in size and diversed with in india is the mother of the Indian continent, kush is the mother of Africa and the middle east and the world all together. Humanity started by the River Nile, both india and kush are wealthy lands with alot of resources.
Indians used migrate to Sudan and had settlements there and sex tourism was a thing too, people often don't realize that East Afrika and India always have had contact and trade relations since forever.
There was also definite contact with the Merotic and Nubian people from the booming sea trade between the medieval Middle East and India, textiles being a big demand from Southern india I believe
The Relationship Between Ancient Axum Egypt & India , but Kush mean Hindukush north Afghanistan on the border with China desert, the homeland of the Beduinen Arabs and isreailitis, the people of Prophet Abraham pbuh the brahma, who was freed by Prophet Moses pbuh, and returned to back from Egypt to Afghanistan with him, and Prophet Mohamed pbuh deported them back to their Homeland kush Afghanistan .

Personally I have had a few female friends from Ethiopia, all of them told me that just walking on the street people people would stop them and ask if they were from India.Why would people ask them that if they did not resemble the dark skin people in India. Recently Indian scientists have admitted that the original inhabitants of what is called India today were hunter gathering from Africa who arrived about 65,000 years ago. I personally think ancient Africans arrived in India around 200,000 years ago.
