Extending for over 170 kilometers up on the plateau, in the rock caves, and down below, where there's easier access to water and their fields.

This is wonderful seeing Africa still holding on to their traditions, and it's also sad that this culture is dying, Africa we need to know ourselves and stand with our culture because that's who we are, we are not Chinese nor European nor Americans we are Africans wonderfully created by God.
You are an insane person praising a seven century old insane people. Is this they way you distinguish Africans from other peoples? By their lack of medicines, doctors, healthy foods? By their dependence on tourism? You are indeed living in your imagination.
So it is great for Africa to hold on to its traditions, but if Europe wants to do it, they are white supremacists or racists. The double standards in the world is jaw dropping
They are an attractive people. It's cool to see how people live in different cultures. Thanks for sharing.
The world was created very beautifully. And humans destroyed it.. With war and colonialism... This valley is truly unique and extraordinary.. A house that is like a nest, really very enchanting...❤❤❤
Seems like the women didn't have to worry about being taken as slaves, they were already slaves..........in this particular patriarchal society.
So true!😢

and human sacrifice rituals. many things play a part in the destruction of the world.
That should make it the same for European women who were captured and violated by the Turks and Mongols before feminism took over🔔@@funwithFred
No country is safe relying on tourism. Dogon country must produce food for themselves to be able to exist and prosper.
The Dogon should consider using a few of the old abandoned homes for tourists. If they can keep the tourists from ruining their space, they could make a decent amount of foreign currency by having occasional tour groups spend the night.
They live much like my white family during the Great Depression times. Mine, white, were sharecroppers and the people who owned the land up north came to visit occasionally but the families raised cotton, tobacco, other crops, various animals to eat for food. There were many children - one side had 9 that lived and the other I believe 13. They canned on wood stove. Sometimes had water from the well, but usually not running water. You pulled a bucket and carried it to the house to bathe and cook with. Depending on weather, you cooked outside. The bathroom was a Johnny house.
They bathed in the winter in the kitchen where it was warm or in the hall - depending on doing on what was going on. Smallest children took their bathes first with water and then on down the line til everyone was done.. Sometimes you took water out and put fresh in. They took their crops etc by horse and wagon. Mind you this was in 1929-1934 etc. I asked my great uncle born 1920 and my grandfather born 1905 how did they get through - but for them it was life as usual. They had logging to do, they had the dairy to work, horses were used in the fields and if you could they had I believe diesel maybe gas. My grandmother was born 1913 and their parents were born in late 1888’s.
I’m African American and I have Malian dna from the mandinka and Bambara peoples the land of my ancestors love from America 🇺🇸
We all do to some degree. Not all from dogon tribes though.
It is Honourable for keeping Ancient traditions my people
Man need to work hard for the family, just sitting around and the poor woman is working like slave. I do not like that at all 😮
This is their culture and tradition and it's not for you or anyone else to like or dislike. They don't need your approval or disapproval.
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOCIETY OF PEOPLE. PERHAPS I WILL GO TO VISIT AND CHILL WITH THEM IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
It's so sad that they are losing their rich traditions and customs to the Christian/Islamic God. We have all been conquered, my ancestors that practiced their earthly beliefs were some of the first lost and then went on to press the new ever changing cannibalistic religion upon others. I hope that the people who still have a closer connection to their ancestors hold tight and do not let this empty god strip them of their beautiful heritage and culture . Such a treasure to be able to see this video and see the last of these cultures doing their best to not forget 😢🫶
Agree 👍🏾 😢
Islam would have risen them up because it doesn't back idol worship. All about the Creator. You talking about what human do. Not the Islamic faith
Agree 💯 to your comm nt
Honey - I couldn't agree with you more💯💯💯💯
It's such a shame that their original culture is being replaced by another religion which strips them of their own power and agency and, of which originally gave appreciation to nature around them, rather than turn themselves over to an all - powerful cult leader. 😢
@@teemadarif8243Islam would’ve taken them back to the Stone Age like it does for every other Muslim! Thank goodness! We don’t need more barbaric practices coming from such fake religion

The cliff dwellings look so much like those of the Ancient People in the Southwest area of the United States. They were made of clay and rocks and shaped very similarly.
that’s what I thought too, the ancient Puebloan peoples, they disappeared around the early 15th century, they don’t really know what happened, drought? war? famine? disease?
That's a good idea with the museum, however Germany needs to return other African artifacts it has stolen.
😂
Facts. There's loads of those in Europe and elsewhere
Or loan them money on the artifacts
The Mali or Ghana governments should come to the help of Dogon people. They are a vulnerable group. Please help to preserve and protect and give a valuation of all these objects, relics, artwork and pottery. All foreigners, especially from 'develop' countries outside of Africa must obtain a valid permit with duration. In addition, all buyers will receive an invoice, with a reference number.
There is an urgent need to help this community right now.
That's what I expect from a geography video. Hope you make more videos 🥰
Why no mention of the Dogon discovering the star system of Sirius before the Western world?
Because the mention of that fact will not change the condition of the Dogon.
@@tirandaz7612it will not be mentioned because the western like to take credit for other people work.
The mysterious knowledge and fascinating history, of these remarkable people, would encourage
others to delve deep into the 'Hidden History Of Africa"! Many of us know, but are not obliged to
release it. Read: "The Science of the Dogon - Decoding the African Mystery tradition" by Laird Scranton.
Definitely gets one thinking; and especially for 'European Imperialism' to subjugate these wondrous
Africans as 'Sub-human' which is prevalent even in these current times! 😟😢

Women do all the hard labor work, and men running around. How can this town find progress? Which rafting does not result nothing. But hard work is a must.
Working together.
Did you not hear the narrator said the men are farmers but there is a drought... The men built the houses, farm, raise live stock, create art works to sell to tourist, work outside the community, protect the village etc.... this is no place for your feminismy
The Dogon tribès are one of oldest tribes of Afrika. They knew about the Sirius star system, before the world even had telescopes.
Now they are losing their identity. 😢😥🤔

Right, I read about it in one of Erik Von Daniken's books.
It would be wonderful to experience life with them,which has been original from day one
Did their ancestors have cell phones?
Excellent video and great narration. The West should return the cultural articles to the Dogon People.
Dogon(water people) Traditional forever!💙🩵💙
Artists in the village could make their own decorative objects to sell, and for themselves in their dwellings. Perhaps, someone could donate tools for various artistic endeavors. ❤
God please uplift these people so they can get better life I pray, amen!
It seems that they are being taken advantage of, once again by losing their precious artwork through schemery!
Sad isn't it.
Loosing more than 'art'. Their connection to their soul, ancestors, kosmos and our sacred earth. That is why they lost, and loose their power, wisdom and connection and are poor. They are one of the most ancient people, their wisdom heritage is incredible, the rest of the dissociated modern cultures are ignorant and spoiled babies compared to them. I still believe they will rise again. It is not too late and the whole of Africa is on the rise. Remembering their wisdom and power.
True that where ever the western or European are everyone knows why they're there.
Que Deus abençoe esse povo tão sofrido 🆗️🚹🇧🇷🙏❤️
The houses remind me of the cliff dwellings in southern Colorado USA.
Because the Dogon were there before it was known as Southern Colorado 😂. Mansa Musa was the King of the Mali Empire and richest man ever. The richest man ever traveled all over the world. That’s the reason at Mesa Verde, they say the homes were build by “Indigenous nomads” 😂
Because they were here in uSA. People get mad at the historians that wrote about it and say it’s Afrocentric and Black people are ashamed of their real history.
Dogon mapped the stars before Europeans. The stars is how people navigated the oceans.
The Mansa’s before Musa.
To bad there isn't a way to buy there art online. I would buy one of there carvings in the beginning of the documentary.
Me too!
Me as well. Why are the carvings not available online? Seems a simple solution.
Same
That's a good idea 🤔
Bad idea. It is not art but their spiritual connections. Spiritual are alive and connected with their ancestors and souls. You are taking away their spirit and soul. That is why they loose their power and are poor. This is still ignorant colonial monkey mind, that completely has lost its connection to soul, spirit and our sacred earth.
Great doc
Thanks!
I did a DNA test and found out I have 3 types of African and one is Mali, I have a total of 13 ethnicities. I am curious to find out more about Mali, the people, culture, and traditions. It's through my 2x great grandfather who was born in Brava, Cape Verde Island that I got my African bloodline from. IDKY but the first wave of Portuguese who came to Hawaii from Brava have Mali blood and are "Afro Portuguese." Thank you for this video! One day I hope to visit every place my ancestors came from.
beautiful video
12:36 .. I’m just starting this but, if they aren’t getting foot traffic from tourists, can’t someone set them up to export their things online..
we all know buying something like that directly from the people who made it would be lucrative, because people love that kind of stuff.. 🤷♀️
Even if they only sold a little bit.. it’s consistent and more than they are getting now..
returning home my my ancestors is back spiritually
Women work the hardest men got it easy
This proves that you don't have to be eating lots of dead flesh of Animals to be strong. They eat simple food and are Robust and healthy.
This is similar to how the Anazasi lived in the Sw of USA before they went extinct.The Pueblo's in the cliffs and store rooms for maize.
Now I know why and how the Gila Cliff dwellings in New Mexico came about
Beautiful people.
Hey, I'm the one that offered to help you when you had made this same appeal under other videos. Those questions I asked even others said were valid questions and if you were in need that badly they said anyone would answer those in return for help. Others warned me not to give because this is a new despicable type of scam. If you're still behind three months rent I'm glad you either found a way to pay for some of your back rent leaving you still three months behind, or your landlord forgave you some months rent. And as i told you before, your landlord still has to pay his mortgage and taxes whether you pay or not. Please respond this time if this isn't a scam.
Wtf is this?
@@MariaPereira-qc4px the person has had a story that they and their family are stuck in the Gaza area and are days away from starvation no money no food and three months behind on rent and the neighbors got the landlord to give them to the end of the week to pay after Chad told them to leave immediately. There's been a few small variations in each post and the names change but the main plea is the same. They never answer questions and I was actually really concerned and nice the first time I saw one of these and had gotten some cash to give one of my kids that have the cash app/ venmo stuff. Then I got warnings from people in the comments and my kids said that was too sketchy and reminded me of all the times I've been taken advantage of trying to help people. The plea disappeared a few minutes after my reply but I thought they just blocked me so I couldn't see it anymore, but from your reply maybe they deleted the plea. Now I'm really curious, can you see their original post or does this thread now just start with my reply to them? For some reason I always thought that if a post was deleted then the whole thread would disappear with it, like the original post being an anchor for the whole thread. Not much would make sense without the original post.
@@MariaPereira-qc4pxa scam
Hey, it is me.. the person who ypu are looking for. And, I am responding to tell you I am a scammer. I am who I am.
It's a scam oh a FYI scammers usually don't tell you they scammed you 😂
This is so sad, because they did the same thing to Jamaica.Try to get people not to go and spend money In jamaica Jamaicans got on the internet with the youtube's and let everyone know that it was no danger in Jamaica. The travel adviser was lying.
there are dead tourists found in the hotels, the region authorities claimed as natural deaths and get rid of the bodies. not trust worthy when the authorities are corrupted
Interesting. There seemed a lot of guy lazing around, doing nothing. They don't need outside money to pay them to restore the buildings. They should just DO it.

What are the men responsible for again?
Check! lol
😂
The men are responsible for occasional farming and watching the women slave until exhaustion and until their limbs are damaged. NO wonder why these women look so sad on their wedding day. It's a life sentence of misery and hard work with forced conjugal chores. It's a Win Win for the man! 🫣🫤

Do you also know that the Japanese Sammuri that great fighter was an African man in real life. We as a people need to do a lot lot more research. I am not telling any lies. I looked into it myself.

Dear, Dogon people in the World.
Pleace Keep On and On and On resesting to those(" Art Tifs ")who try to approch you to sell the soul- objects of your Valuable cultural identity for some paper-made and valueless money.
If need be, it is definity upon the Duty of the precent Government in where you resite to esponser and Pay and Protect You from all the external Harms that face you at all costs. Just ask them for helps and may you shall win!
The german tourist with a total dissonance, leaving out the brutal truths of our own manufactured facades, a secretive/dubious systems, and even bigger problems of modern existence of waste, consumption, destruction, righteousness above all, with his oddly framed views at 40:08: "It is remarkable how primitive it all is here, like 500 years ago at home. First you think how lovely, then you realize how hard life is, how archaic. Archaic, who does all the work and when, the question of women's rights, child mortality, healthcare, how people at 50 look like we do at 70. The rituals are exciting but sometimes rather brutal and bloody. A different world, hard to judge because it is so different."
“The women don’t NEED Lazy Men … PERIOD.”
VERY SAD to know & see women DO MORE than the men.
Plant more trees, start a nursery...
After field work is done, if there's nothing to do for the men, why just sit around? Why not help the women with all the chores(cooking, laundry, children, house, animals, farm)
It's beneath them and mothers obviously didn't raise the boys to do so. As many many cultures
A “ man “ never does women’s work 🤷♀️😏
So he most "join in house chores" so you and the rest of your "West" can agree he's hard working and not "sitting around"?
Do you stay with them to know what else the men do? Your Western values are so great that well over half of marriages crash and bitterly so in just few years, why won't you lecture these ancient people about how to live as a family as you're definitely doing better at it.
Out of point..clueless opinion...
And fix those clay houses, spoiled lazy men
they should sell on line
How do they charge phones
When will the feminine rise?
UN getting them all electricity and electric stoves and ubi for biometrics don’t worry 😂
In place like this, everyone is family, pure love without expecting something in return.
What I don't like is making the women to over work, enslaving them, that's os not fair
SAM
So what do the men do ?
The narrator lost me.
just cant handle ... abuse of women
Exploitation
difficult to watch them males sitting on their holes like that !
That is the custom, too bad.
The man should work the land instead of sitting around waiting for tourists when the women are doing all the work. That's not right and unfair to these women.
No light & using mobil surprised 😅😅😅

we do not need you people here reporting... African Americans and Africans throughout the diaspora are returning home to Africa...we are writing our own story
many are but the thing is African Americans aren't nes doing the documentaries, which give us all insight into these matters
I personally love to learn about how different people around the world live, what they belive? what they live in? What they like to eat?i I will never have enough money to go visit Africa, although it has been something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. The closest I will ever get is just what I see and learn from these documentaries...
It does not matter if the documentary was made by Canadians, Asians, Americans, Germans, or Africans. If they first got permission respectfully from everyone they filmed and were kind and respectful of their culture and their way of life.
Now I'm not being disrespectful or rude, just asking, maybe I missed something.... Did the people who made this documentary do something offensive or disrespectful while they were there filming this?
I honestly believe that documentaries like these spread cultural knowledge, which leads to cultural understanding, which then leads to cultural exceptence, which could truly one day lead to a more peaceful and excepting world for everyone everywhere
😂😂😂
The western world exploiting Africa again.
@@michellesimpson6639you mean cultural exploitation? Always that's the aim.
Looking as this one encouraging the others to sale their artifacts because they are hungry but not suggesting to work the land because he as his fair cher as a middle man. The second deal is worse because he knows the people usually can't pay back and already going to keep the artifact. Rackateer working in the interest of the outsiders, Really sad .

Didn't even get to this part of the video yet where Pierre 's father talked about division that I already mentioned it i my comment. So sad what religion can do unto others culture anyway that's the all purpose of religion. Every black people need to stop praying the enemies God and stick to their ancestors. And it's not fetishism like the narrator portrait it . That's where All the knowledge came from Africa. Do not let them telling you otherwise. They know it and they doing and have been doing everything in their power to maintain their lies .

What leaves barks and plants can be picked dried for dietary supplements? Unrealized potential??? More work also more benefit? Educational possibilities? Reading materials provided. Small pamphlets booklets??
white boys,, hard to judge? then dont, accept the fact that in different places things ARE different, not right, not or wrong, just the way it is for that place. dogon,s,, it is very possible that your ancestors knew things you have lost. seek their knowledge, be the Dogon you once were.
So sad that their artifacts have been plundered & relocated, now housed far from their origin. That’s just wrong, imho. Their cliff dwellings are somewhat reminiscent of ancestral puebloan cliff dwellings. And if they converted to Islam how can they consume millet beer?
Why oh why these two aren't cultivating the land instead of looking for their ancestors artifacts to sale for almost nothing. These robers aren't going to pay the right price for these valuables. Not only they taking everything for almost a pittance but these people are losing their culture, their selves that why you hear them becoming: Muslim or Christian they need ro keep their culture not the outsiders that will bring nothing but division and destroy them in the process. I hope they can find someone to make them see that before it's to late.
This has been their cultures for centuries.
Now these very same men are coming over here and expect a 5star free ride.
I'm just gonna ask a stupid question .why does the European, mid east, and east Asia look so different if human migration from Africa is true? It explained the black tribe from this video to Africa, but
does DNA have a skin color? Genetic material and DNA is of microscopic findings. I am not of the "opinion " everyone derives from Africa due to what Islam speaks of regarding this however I do believe all human is from the first Man , Adam and Woman , Huwa(Eve,) and Adam was made up of Earth/Clay taken from different parts of the Earth mixed which begets dark mud. We all go back to this earth as Adam is from it. Huwa/Eve is from Adam upper left Rib and from her All of Mankind spread about. But we not all from African soil , no. This is moreso a Pan African perspective of it .
@@teemadarif8243more from science, keep in mind that life started in Africa came out of European Academia research, the Pan African belief hadn't come about yet, ironically one of the few things they got correct.
