The oldest kingdom in Africa is the kingdom of Ajuran. This kingdom rules in eastern and western Africa. It is the oldest kingdom in Africa, from 850 to 1800 AD. That this kingdom is based, or the capital was the capital of Somalia today, which is Mogadishu. The kingdom of Ajuran has a gold money
As a Zimbabwean and a direct descendant of the House of Gorajena(White vulture) from the ancient Kingdom of Mutapa, I can say I feel happy that the Rozvi Empire was mentioned here. However, the term Rozvi comes from the Shona term Kurozva. The kingdom was called Rozvi not because they just plundered but because of their military prowess! They had never lost a war or battle from waring with local kingdoms to the Brits and Portuguese. They were just a formidable warrior state!
I wanted to say the same. I guess the problem is that for many of those the size of their empires might not be exactly traceable, and possibly also varied a lot over time.
@@PauxloE That's the case with most social entities before established borders, and even with them it might as well been 50/50. Only recently with countries, for the most part have we gotten it down.
In desert areas the problem is also that teritory itself is meaningless. What the kingdoms and empires controlled there were the known caravan routes, the cities and oases. The teritory around them was huge, empty and not really controlled by anyone. In that sense, you could draw arbitrary circles to delineate these empires.

Nowaday, some tribe's member residing in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait. Aswad al- Ansi (الأسود العنسي) (meaning: Black Man of al Ansi tribe) actually was a name of a leader of al-ansi tribe in the past, he is a self-proclaimed prophet and proclaimed his prophethood toward the end of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad when Muhammad became ill after his final pilgrimage to Mecca. He is also known as Abhala bin Ka'ab (عبهلة بن كعب). Most of Muslim nowaday would known him as a fake prophet as the Quran proclaimed Muhammad as the last prophet in Islam and the revealation of the religion is completed upon Muhammad's death. But if theres one thing he is remember in history, when prophet Muhammad get ill he lead the al-Ansi tribe to invade Najran and most of Yemen. He attack the city of Sana'a and Shahr (ruler of Yemen and son of Badhan) was killed in a battle against Aswad. Aswad married Shahr's widow and declared himself the ruler of Yemen. He changes his title from Prophet of God to Rahman (the Most Merciful). His rule of Yemen however was short-lived. Fayruz al-Daylami, a Persian Muslim and companian of Prophet of Muhammad was sent by Muhammad to put down his rebellion. Aswad was attacked and killed by Fayruz al-Daylami. Learning of the Prophet Muhammad's demise, the follower of Aswad continued their revolt under the leadership of Qais bin Abi Yaghus. Eventually, Fayruz defeated them and they surrendered along with their leader.

I just want to say there have been older kingdoms than the kingdom of ghana. The first recorded king from Axum was around 10BCE and before that there was the Kingdom of Kush in modern day Sudan. And even before that there was the Kingdom of Kerma which was established around 2500 BCE.
He just meant it was the oldest in the video, since he restricted himself to listing only dynasties that existed in the medieval or modern periods there won't be any that died out before about AD 500.

Really great to see this. As a descendant of the Gbelegbuwa I, Oba of Ijebu Ode also known as Awujale it is exciting to see the Yoruba Kingdoms top tier of this count down. Some descrepancies are argued regarding who is Apex whether Oni of Ife or the Oba of Benin and whether Ijebus are fully Yoruba or an ethnic people of their own. Very very interesting stuff
There's no apex. That's an European thing but one thing is for sure. The throne at ife which was the throne oduduwa ruled was respected by all, even after benin grew independent it still maintained ceremonial ties to the ooni(oghonenuhe) as a source of authority. In the 20th century a figure of the ooni of as uncovered underneath the old oba of benin palace. As for ijebus, I'm one myself specifically ijebu-remo and I can say we're fully yoruba. I mean is it decent from ife in terms of migrations and the monarchies, food, culture, spirituality and even language albeit a dialect but very much intelligible with other dialects so therefore we are a subgroup like manh others. The sudan links came out of a time when there was hysteria in connecting african kingdoms to North Africa or the middle East and because of politics of superiority the the past awujale published that story and the current one upheld it too. Asides from this there's absolutely no doubt we are yoruba
The narration is actually correct and its right, but the arrangement is not valid, due to not knowing that the Ooni of Ife is actually the direct descendant, palace and the acient crown of Ooni Oduduwa where all other Obas are traced to, including Alake of Egba, Alaafin of Oyo, Alaketu of Ketu, Olupopo of Popo both (today's Benin Republic), Omo N'Oba of Benin (Oranmiyan, the grandson of Oduduwa/son of Ooni Ogun) and Orangun of Ila (who's actually the first child of Oduduwa). Every other Obas are one way or the other the bore child/children by one of wives of Oduduwa or Ogun e.g Oluwo of Iwo is one of Oduduwa's wives, or family migrated from with crown from the palace Uhe/Ule-Ufe or Ile-Ife. Theres no reason to check apex among the Benin and Ooni, its direct understood that Oranmiyan the founder of Benin is son of Ogun and grandchild of Oduduwa. Benin just want to re-write history, by using the methodology of Oduduwa existence as direct from God to Oke Ora in Ife Wara or Otu Ife, before arriving Ile Ife to become the 3rd Ooni (not even the first), that Oduduwa actually came from them in Benin as a prince and then appeared and was made Ooni (thats nonesense). Meanwhile, the 16 families in Oke-Ora from 4 crown family of 16, among the families was next that introduced Oduduwa as 3rd Ooni. These 4 families are Giesi, Lafogido, Oshikola and Ogboru.

Long life my kingdom 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 Morocco And also proud of all the sultans and kings of Morocco, especially the Almohadin who ruled Europe for many years and built a civilization while it was living in the dark ages. Morocco alone has the ten greatest kingdoms in Africa. Kingdoms do not only mean the duration of the rule But civilization, science, medicine, etc
Almohads were Algerian created by Abdul mumin from tlemcen Algeria 🇩🇿 marinid were Algerians from biskra Algeria 🇩🇿 almoravids were from Mauritania 🇲🇷 also it was ummayads and Abbasid empire who helped Europe in the dark ages not Morocco 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki Mauritania and Algeria is it’s own country it literally created Morocco. The Almoravids who were mauritanians conquered Morocco and even named your capital “Marrakesh” 😂😂😂 Algeria existed in 202bc ancient Numidia and Algerian empires such as the Numidians, Almohads, marinids, zayyanids, zirids, Fatimids, kingdom of Algiers, kingdom of ait Abbas, rustamids, hamamdids, kingdom of tlemcen, hafsids and many more all ruled Morocco. Tlemcen has always been part of Algeria but fez, Marrakesh, tangier and Casablanca were all Algerian miskeen he doesn’t know that Algerian empires literally ruled his country for over 1000 years😂😂😂😂 Morocco never existed it was created by Spain and france in 1958 before that it was Algeria land and ruled by Algerians 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
@SalamahChannelAl-Malikinever argue with Algerians about history, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. No offense to the Algerians, they are free to believe whatever made up history makes them feel comfortable, it will not change the documented facts ✌️
@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki Moroccans are majority atheist alhamduillah we Algerians are very religious people. This is why Algeria supports Palestine and Morocco supports Israel because you don’t believe in Allah and what he said in the Quran. Alhamduillah in Algeria we prostate to Allah only and in Morocco you prostate to your king your whole country is atheist. Algeria has the most scholars and young Muslims hafis than Morocco. You are a secular state Allah yehdikoum
@SalamahChannelAl-Maliki okay Almohad was created by Abdul mumin from tlemcen Algeria search any academic book online and they will confirm this historians always write this don’t read Moroccan propaganda. Ibn khaldoun the greatest historian and philosopher in North Africa as well as being the father of sociology said that Tariq ibn ziyad is Algerian 🇩🇿 IBN IDHARI A MOROCCAN SCHOLAR SAID TARIQ IBN ZIYAD IS ALGERIAN🇩🇿 go search. Ibn khaldoun said that he spent time with banu marin in BISKRA ALGERIA banu marin are the ones who created the marinid empire. Every historian says this. IM USING SOURCES FROM ACTUAL ACADEMIC AND AUTHENTIC HISTORIANS. Banu lamtun is the tribe that created the Almoravids and they are related to Tuareg tribe family the Almoravids as your king hasan 2 admitted that they were from Mauritania 🇲🇷 everything I said comes from authentic sources now it’s your turn yahudi.
Most English speakers count the Americas as 2 separate continents, so he’s more likely to do one for North America (ie the carribean and everything above the isthmus of Panama) and one for South America, but I’d be happy either way.

Interesting that you only picked the Alouites from Morocco. Historically I would think Almoravides, then Almohades then Saadines then Alouites. The first two, controlled a vast area in both Africa and Europe. The Saadines were fighting the ottomans, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese. They in fact managed to keep the country independent while fighting the strongest empires of the Mediterranean. They also, literally destroyed the Portuguese empire.

You missed 2 important Seereer and Senegambian dynasties : the Joof paternal dynasty that ruled for nearly 1000 years, and had ruled 3 kingdom (Baol, Siin, and Saluum). In fact , the recently enthroned king of Siin - Niokhobaye Diouf/Joof comes from this family albeit him being a dependant monarch (dependent on Senegal). Another dynasty you've missed is the Gelwar maternal dynasty who have ruled for 671 years. The current king of Siin is also a member of this maternal dynasty.

Ps: the Alaouite claim to be from the middle east (for religious purposes) but we all know that they are actually from Tinghir (in Tafilat), a region in the south east of Morocco, therefore their blood is Amazigh (Berber), so they are African.

@@ValyrianCode kind of true. Lagos was already inhabited by the Awori people who claim descent from Ife.

So where did Oduduwa come from? Am sure only the Benin kingdom can answer this not Ife (youroba). Oranmiyan returned to home in Benin not the other way round. This whole story has been greatly twisted by youroba people to grab Lagos. Ife kindom people and especially Benin kingdom will tell you the real Benin empire. How there you write off the Ife kingdom.
@@onekesi1934 where Oduduwa came from seems difficult to answer although maybe somewhere around the Ora hills is a good place to start. As well going off of one sources oral history on a topic is a fools errand no matter where you do it especially in Southwestern Nigeria theirs tons of conflicting oral histories on tons of different stories going off of just Benin kingdoms story when theirs atleast 5 different oral histories on what happened that conflict eachother. I dont know what the Aworis of Lagos have to do with the origin of Oduduwa though.

Most of Muslim nowaday would known him as a fake prophet as the Quran proclaimed Muhammad as the last prophet in Islam and the revealation of the religion is completed upon Muhammad's death. But if theres one thing he is remember in history, when prophet Muhammad get ill he lead the al-Ansi tribe to invade Najran and most of Yemen. He attack the city of Sana'a and Shahr (ruler of Yemen and son of Badhan) was killed in a battle against Aswad. Aswad married Shahr's widow and declared himself the ruler of Yemen. He changes his title from Prophet of God to Rahman (the Most Merciful). His rule of Yemen however was short-lived. Fayruz al-Daylami, a Persian Muslim and companian of Prophet of Muhammad was sent by Muhammad to put down his rebellion. Aswad was attacked and killed by Fayruz al-Daylami. Learning of the Prophet Muhammad's demise, the follower of Aswad continued their revolt under the leadership of Qais bin Abi Yaghus. Eventually, Fayruz defeated them and they surrendered along with their leader.

I just want to say there have been older kingdoms than the kingdom of ghana. The first recorded king from Axum was around 10BCE and before that there was the Kingdom of Kush in modern day Sudan. And even before that there was the Kingdom of Kerma which was established around 2500 BCE.
I was referring to West Africa. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
He just meant it was the oldest in the video, since he restricted himself to listing only dynasties that existed in the medieval or modern periods there won't be any that died out before about AD 500. There definitely were older kingdoms and dynasties - the First Dynasty of Egypt was established around 3100 BC!

Really great to see this. As a descendant of the Gbelegbuwa I, Oba of Ijebu Ode also known as Awujale it is exciting to see the Yoruba Kingdoms top tier of this count down. Some descrepancies are argued regarding who is Apex whether Oni of Ife or the Oba of Benin and whether Ijebus are fully Yoruba or an ethnic people of their own. Very very interesting stuff
There's no apex. That's an European thing but one thing is for sure. The throne at ife which was the throne oduduwa ruled was respected by all, even after benin grew independent it still maintained ceremonial ties to the ooni(oghonenuhe) as a source of authority. In the 20th century a figure of the ooni of as uncovered underneath the old oba of benin palace.
As for ijebus, I'm one myself specifically ijebu-remo and I can say we're fully yoruba. I mean is it decent from ife in terms of migrations and the monarchies, food, culture, spirituality and even language albeit a dialect but very much intelligible with other dialects so therefore we are a subgroup like manh others.
The sudan links came out of a time when there was hysteria in connecting african kingdoms to North Africa or the middle East and because of politics of superiority the the past awujale published that story and the current one upheld it too. Asides from this there's absolutely no doubt we are yoruba
The narration is actually correct and its right, but the arrangement is not valid, due to not knowing that the Ooni of Ife is actually the direct descendant, palace and the acient crown of Ooni Oduduwa where all other Obas are traced to, including Alake of Egba, Alaafin of Oyo, Alaketu of Ketu, Olupopo of Popo both (today's Benin Republic), Omo N'Oba of Benin (Oranmiyan, the grandson of Oduduwa/son of Ooni Ogun) and Orangun of Ila (who's actually the first child of Oduduwa). Every other Obas are one way or the other the bore child/children by one of wives of Oduduwa or Ogun e.g Oluwo of Iwo is one of Oduduwa's wives, or family migrated from with crown from the palace Uhe/Ule-Ufe or Ile-Ife. Theres no reason to check apex among the Benin and Ooni, its direct understood that Oranmiyan the founder of Benin is son of Ogun and grandchild of Oduduwa. Benin just want to re-write history, by using the methodology of Oduduwa existence as direct from God to Oke Ora in Ife Wara or Otu Ife, before arriving Ile Ife to become the 3rd Ooni (not even the first), that Oduduwa actually came from them in Benin as a prince and then appeared and was made Ooni (thats nonesense). Meanwhile, the 16 families in Oke-Ora from 4 crown family of 16, among the families was next that introduced Oduduwa as 3rd Ooni. These 4 families are Giesi, Lafogido, Oshikola and Ogboru. Ooni Sijuwade was Ogboru line and this current Adeyeye Ojaja II is from Giesi line.

You missed 2 important Seereer and Senegambian dynasties : the Joof paternal dynasty that ruled for nearly 1000 years, and had ruled 3 kingdom (Baol, Siin, and Saluum). In fact , the recently enthroned king of Siin - Niokhobaye Diouf/Joof comes from this family albeit him being a dependant monarch (dependent on Senegal). Another dynasty you've missed is the Gelwar maternal dynasty who have ruled for 671 years. The current king of Siin is also a member of this maternal dynasty.
He didn't necessarily "miss" them, it maybe just didn't fit all three of his criterion to constitute it within the top ten.

So where did Oduduwa come from? Am sure only the Benin kingdom can answer this not Ife (youroba). Oranmiyan returned to home in Benin not the other way round.

As well going off of one sources oral history on a topic is a fools errand no matter where you do it especially in Southwestern Nigeria theirs tons of conflicting oral histories on tons of different stories going off of just Benin kingdoms story when theirs atleast 5 different oral histories on what happened that conflict eachother. I dont know what the Aworis of Lagos have to do with the origin of Oduduwa though. Personally ive seen enough evidence from multiple sources for me to draw doubt on Benin's version of events although all it can ever be is doubt.
great work !
As a Shona Zimbabwean I'm proud we are on the list. Though you kinda butchered a few pronunciations but I can't hold you personally responsible since you pronounced everything as a native English speaker

I would add Almoravids, Almohads, Fatimids, Mameluks and Saladin's dynasty.
Most of those would surely be middle eastern dynasties, wouldn't they?
He mentioned the Almoravids
