If you ask me,the white man really never seems to leave Africa up to day,so who is interfering in who's issues. Give me your historical perspective then.

I went to the University of Maryland, College Park, and I signed up to take an African History class, assuming I would learn stuff like what you cover in this video. Instead, the info started at the end of the 19th century with the division of Africa by European powers and their subsequent occupation of the continent. It was portrayed as if Africa didn’t have history of its own. It was very disappointing, and didn’t settle right with me. Thanks for the video!

Maybe because there are too few written history so it basically become a guessing game from there, you cannot retrace important events and details of history if there's no writing, that's why we know more today about 3000 years old Egyptian history than most of african multiple ethnies history. African history is a rabbit hole from conspirationists and manipulators the less you know about it the more you'll have people who will come with their own version, history is a living science, it follows the scientific method.

jewish owned company 'Pearson Education'; however, this video is garbage and anyone who even mentions Mansa Musa is a dead give away of someone trying to reach for a documented historical achievement. There is one crude drawing where you can tell the gold was added at a later time. Yet the claims are grandiose to a laughable degree. the drawing is hilariously simple and looks like a child drew it. Sub-saharan african peoples and their history has been recorded by other peoples; they are what everyone knows them to have been; primitive, stone aged, nomadic warring tribes. Northern african peoples werent "black" and they have a longer recorded history, that has nothing to do with "africans" as black people would like to think. History is fluid and you can trace peoples and migrations; art and architecture, language and food, et cetera. There are no big missing gaps on record, only in a person's knowledge of historical events. When there is a large amount of missing information it is due to a population's lack of written record, as with the stone aged tribes of the americas, africa and islanders. As the narrator said, "according to oral traditions", when it comes to the "records" associated with those population groups. Take the tribes of papua new guinea; one being the "cargo cult". They think the airplanes are sent from their ancestors and that the white men stole them from them. They dont write about it, but carry on oral traditions. Imagine a youtube video 500 years later recounting their oral traditions of grandeur and the accuracy of their claims. We know whats what; sorry african blacks, your history simply is what it is.

In school we're taught American history, European history, even the history of other countries. But not when it comes to Africa or black inventors, or contributors to this country. It's made to look like we're just here along for the ride. This is why we need to educate ourselves. I never knew till a few years ago that there were African explorers. That went to the Caribbean ad well as South and Central America. In addition, we're not shown how developed Africa is. What's shown is unrest and the Serengeti. Did anyone know that The Moors ruled Spain from 792- 1492. That's why Columbus set sail.

Afrika Smith. The first economic and military alliances between African tribes and Europe were made by the Portuguese navy, before the Spanish and the English. Portugal made an empire from North Africa to Japan based on trade, not on territory conquest. That came later. This is very well known by historians, but not by the public in general, because Portugal does not play the major league nowadays, and unfortunately, African countries have much to worry than past history.

Modern Art - The world ignores the fact that African art greatly inspired European artists like Picasso, Matisse, Kirchner and others. 3. Iron Age - Our Iron sculptures prove that Iron Age in Africa pre-dates European Iron Age. Africa lept from Stone Age right into Iron Age while Europe was still in Bronze Age. Iron Age smelting facilites discovered in Nigeria date back to 2000BC 4.Mathematics - The Lebombo bone from Swaziland and Ishango bone from Uganda are the worlds oldest mathematical objects. The Ishango bones date 8500BC and proves Maths was birthed in Africa. These bones have series over calculations carved on them. 5. Music - Every musical element - Rhythm, Harmony, melody, timbre and basic forms of Jazz is African in background and derivation 6.Mummification - started in Africa. Started in South Western Libya in 5600BC 7. Irrigation- Started in Africa. The oldest Irrigation scheme has been traced to Engaruka in Tanzania done in the 15th Century 8.Architecture - The stone structures of Zimbabwe date 11th Century BC, built without mortar! 9.Astronomy - The Dogon people of west Africa since ancient times had their own systems of astronomy, calendrical measurements, calculation methods, anatomical and physiological knowledge. The Dogon knew about Sirius B prior to western civilization 10.Metallurgy - African metallurgy predates other civilizations. Artifacts from the Yoruba and ancient Congo proves this. 11. Surgery- The Banyoro people of Uganda used to perform C section before the arrival of the white man in the 19th C as recorded by an eyewitness British explorer Robert Felkin 12. Writing - Hieroglyphics done by the Nilotic tribes discovered in the Nile Valley predate Greece and Rome We can go on and on and on......

I think the first problem you face with anything related to African history or culture (including the Mali Empire) is lack of documentation and overall recording of events. Most of what know about the history of Africa is through oral traditions or through foreign writers like Arabs or Europeans who visited. Arabs especially have made a lot of writings about the Mali Empire and thoroughly described it.

Your voice is so calming, and this is all so interesting. As a South African, I still find it strange that we were taught so little about African history Edit: I went to school after apartheid ended, meaning the ANC was (and still is) in power, meaning they have control over what is taught in schools. It’s tragic how, instead of using their power to empower the nation through things like including more education about Africa and making learning more African languages such as Zulu or isiXhosa accessible, they’ve simply focused on breaking DOWN the quality of education in schools. I always thought it odd that, after 12 years in school, the only languages I was exposed to were English and Afrikaans within the school syllabus, despite the fact that we have ELEVEN national languages. There was also absolutely no schooling on helping us understand the wealth of cultural diversity. And again, those in power with the ability to control and shape what we learned were not white. Which was the point of my original statement. Insinuations that “it’s by design to push a western agenda” are dumb, because the heads of the education department were and remain black. If you are a South African, you’ll know how poorly our education system is being handled, and how it isn’t a tool for empowerment as it should be, which I see as an utter betrayal of the ANC’s original promises to us, their people.

I just feel history as a whole isn't taught enough. In school I was taught a lot about apartheid but I don't remember a lot of anything else. Sure there were some references to great Zimbabwe, Mark Shuttleworth, Shaka and the world wars. There was never context, why was Germany attacking the allies, where did Germany even come from? Who's Prussia is it like Russia? I never knew Namibia was a province of South Africa until I looked more into the world wars. I never knew Ethiopia was a Christian country for a longer time than a lot of western counties. So yeah, I feel history in schools is not only inadequate at portraying events in Africa but the world as a whole. If I can find out more about the world in 4 years online than 12 years I paid for school I think I should be entitled to a refund. I do think other people are starting to think the same way however, many people that play history games have started to name African nations as some of the most interesting and fun to play. Such as Butua and songhai in EU4, Abysinnia and Hausaland in Ck3 etc.

Africans never felt the need to leave their homeland to find a "promised land" because they were already blessed with everything they needed. Mansa Musa is symbolic of all the various groups across the continent sitting on top of all kinds of gold, silver, minerals and everything else, so why would they want to leave. And of course they knew what gold had value as they have been working it and using it for a very long time. The connection between West African legends from the Mali Empire and the gold of Mansa Musa is partly the reason why the Spanish wanted to find the mysterious lands of gold in the Americas. And it is this gold that is another reason that Europeans wanted to conquer and colonize because Europe is a tiny place and not blessed with all the land and resources of Africa, Asia or the Americas.

There are deeper issues going on. A lot of black people in the US hate on white people and think they're the main cause of all bad things in the world. Attacks on white people are ignored by mainstream media but they happen. White people tired of all this want to prove that Africa had the same issues today, or was worse, before whites came along. Then there are white Americans who treat black people like they're a dumb race and can't accomplish anything, because they're in poverty more than anyone else in America. Some racists point to the problems of Africa today as evidence that black people are genetically inferior. For this and other reasons there's a lot of fighting about how Africa used to be.

Don’t kick yourself that hard. It is practically that same in Europe as well. Herodotus, the historian wrote about Blacks from the Caucasus with their roots to the Narts(now centred around Abkhazia-Afro-Abkhzians) over 2000 years ago, Athenes, Crete and Italian islands have their share of native blacks for over 2000 years. Only Turkey proudly shows and writes about its native blacks as ancient citizens. In Austria-Turkish war 1716-1718 the mighty Turkish army consisted of 30,000 black Turks fighting alongside other Turks. Remember that the sub-continent Europe suffered so much in the Middle Ages to get rid of its impoverished over populated Europe. It isn’t nice to remind the rest of the world about the past Oliver Twist poverty stricken lifestyle in present day history of Europe. It may not be fair to underrate European achievements. Europe has achieved at lot in just 500 years. I am not hear to justify the means of achievement which was really dark!!

The problem with the Moors, which were the most powerful blacks, is that their Muslim and Arabic religion made them vulnerable for a number of reasons. They fucked outside their race, and interbred, whose offsprings claim to European power, caused strife and distrust, poisoning and killing their half brothers. That's a simplistic view, and they were too content, and never thought they would lose power. They controlled most of Western Europe, and revered, and ended up marrying out of their race, and no trace of their lineage, except their coat of arms in Germany, Austria, Italy and many other European countries. And it still happens today with many or most wealthy blacks. They marry out of their race!! The same thing in Egypt, Greece, Italy, and present day

Jamal Al-Uqdah most of the black men and women here arnt from Africa so it isn’t anywhere near there family or there culture. Super racist to say I have something to do with Ireland or Poland I mean why because I’m white? Irish and polish are pretty different people, they have distinct cultures. It would be disrespect and lacking honor to pretend to hold something close to them just because some of my genetics come from a VAST and diverse section of that continent. I mean that’s all race based right?? All genetics? That’s racism. I mean technically then I have African genetics because all humans are based from that continent. Man they been holding us down brother, shout out my great great great great great great great uncle homawanatumbay. He was a good guy African pride✊

A very large, geographically and ethnically diverse one, yet, in the course of global events, one whose nations share a general past period of absolute European colonization and destructuring, and still struggle to free themselves from various force imposed situations of the most cruel exploitative economic colonialism; where do most of the famines happen? A now Euro-American colonialism that when it has murdered a champion of African nation's economic freedom and bombed a prosperous nation into bloody dust, cackles "We came. We saw. He died", claps it's hands, and laughs. In that context, some reference to "Africans" as a whole can be useful, without at the same time forgetting it's limits.

@matthewkopp2391
@matthewkopp2391 3 года назад
To make the point the text should have read, "by the 1400's the Muslim nations had a trade network and settlements which reached as far away as the Philippines." It was not only sailing the Mediterranean. It is possible that they crossed the Atlantic it would be cool to find the hard evidence. But being that they were in contact with Polynesians they would have at least known information of the Pacific too. And the Polynesians reached the West Coast of South America.

@@CrowdPleeza the Olmecs spoke the Mende language, which is the same language spoken in West Africa. And BBC confirmed that the oldest human remains in South America came from an African woman named Luzia, so it's not that hard to believe that the first major civilization in South America was founded by Black people. Especially not when you consider the fact that Africans were the first to sail the world.

The more I researched and diversified my self the more things started to make sense. We only know and believe what we are taught to weather it’s the truth or not so I reprogrammed my mind. Everyone is controlled by there emotions and I think that is the key about a lot of things in our life our emotional state.

I am from cabo verde, ex Portuguese colony. I'm very familiar with the Portuguese which were the first European country to start colonization in Africa, and later on, other European empires followed. I never knew the king of Congo at the time asked the Portuguese for help and that it was for that reason he converted to Christianity. Which allowed the whole process of colonization to start ... Now, a quick pop culture reference, Kanye west once said "slavery was a choice" and everybody went nuts, he wasn't that wrong!
