Man....don't ever stop doin this because you inspire me and potentially countless others. You may not realize straight off but you are doin a terrific service for us. Continue to occupy your lane and keep informin us. The work you do is priceless!!
HomeTeam History I like how you acknowledge the difference of the African women's features, but you continued to say how beautiful they are. Thank you. That tells me that we are still loved and appreciated by some black men. I am enjoying your videos. Do you have books published?
Yet you have a black mask as your profile. you know who does mask black people. We were the birth place of mask making. The arabs did not even have that in their culture especially the wooden figure you have in you profile. You still see we are the only people on the planet that still make those wooden figure. No one does only us.
When you go to Africa you will see all shapes and sizes. The Benin empire was in the forest while the Egyptian at the time of your sculptures was in the grass land (savannah). Remember the Egyptian empire started in the south.
The bronze and terra cotta art the Ife people or Benin people were making was on another level. Why Africa was called the land of khemit (land of black magic). The secrets of alchemy passed down from there Father.
Knowledge of self is power I m a south African and I really dig this we have our own history and culture much destroyed by the apartheid regime how ever there is a new conscious rising among Africans to claim our place in the world.
anonymous person South Africa was colonized by the Dutch I believe (could be wrong though. Pretty sure it was a south Germanic country though because Afrikaans is a pidgin of African and Germanic language, not English)
Ndhuna Mabunda yep you’re right I was mistaken, it’s actually 95% Dutch in vocabulary and is 100% a West Germanic language like English is, though there are some khoisan words hither and thither. If anything it’s a daughter language to Dutch
Although it’s worth mentioning that the Europeans colonised South Africa before the Zulus - who in turn destroyed the indigenous peoples’ culture by act of genocide.
Isn't it amazing that all of these women have very pretty faces and all of them (even the east coast women) look like modern day African American women.
Thank you. I am a Yoruba man myself and I can see my mom's features in many of the sculptures from West Africa that you showed. Most especially the last piece. My mom's nose was narrow with a more subtle flaring at the end. My nose is a definite mix of my mom's and my dad's. I have almost a distinct straight symmetrical line running down the middle of my nose, but with a wider gradation of flare. I also have a bridge which is often common in West African peoples. Although my mom's bridge was even more subtle than her flare. Sometimes people wonder why west African facial art has slanting eyes. Aside from parts of the Yoruba tribe actually having a slight slant upwards towards the temple, the hair styles often cause the eyes to be pulled upwards in such a manner that calls more attention to the slant. Additionally, younger tighter Yoruba skin is firmer and lends itself to such a slant. So much culture, do much art, and so much wisdom. Thanks for sharing your wonderful video.
ELUCIDATI Quite fascinating. Human history is very interesting, and I'm so glad that we are beginning to reclaim our own proud heritages. I think a proud black people will have better self esteem, better understanding of themselves, and will ultimately be a great asset for the world and a better partner with the world. Thank you.
Yeah, I've noticed that slanted eyes exist splattered across Sub-Saharan Africa. African dna has been noted by geneticists; mostly without external admixture, as being the oldest, most diverse, and complex in the world. Outside of Africa, other ethnicities incomparably are said to only represent mere subsets of this diversity. For geneticists it reaffirms that all mankind at some point had his origins in Africa.
Good video but it must be kept in mind the Africans in east Africa with the narrow nose are just as genetically African as west Africans. We must not let Eurocentrics dictate what Africans should look like!
I love this. The level of high art across millennia from West Africa completely defeats the stereotype that West African peoples were primitive. Human beings on survival mode do not have the TIME to sit down and do this kind of art. Human beings running from lions and tigers and bears and elephants and cheetahs don't have time to create intricate pieces like this.
I’ve binge-watched almost all of your videos and I love them all! I am haitian and I’ve never learnt ab my culture until now, and I discovered I have beninese family and in general I come from west africa. I am very very interested in learning african art and history and mythology and a lot of other things, since school only taught me whites ppl history, and only taught me ab africa parting from slavery, as if Africa didn’t have an history before slavery. So thank you so much for these videos! I appreciate them a lot!
@@0x0michael I agree with you. Ife is a Yoruba city on the other hand, and people there today still have identical tribal markings. But you are right, I didn't want to get into a full discourse about this lol
Thank you. It's about time I see more of the wonderful art from across Africa instead of just Egypt. Egypt is only one of many many countries and cultures on that continent.
This is a very intelligent young man who chose the path of educating the world rather than thugging the world. Kudos to you my Brother. More grease to your elbow.
The lips tells it all. All the depiction of Egyptians show them as white, but if you look at the artwork and sculptures, they have the full lips that most African people share. Thanks for educating who really were Kings and queens.
The similarities are clear, it’s exactly like comparing modern west And East Africans. This shows how ridiculous the whitewashing of ancient Africa really is.
The West vs. East African art should have been titled West vs. North African art. In addition, the Egyptians appeared to have broader faces; the West Africans appeared more oval with very high cheekbones. Did you not notice their eyes? They appeared slanted.
Hetepu? Blessings brother. Very intriguing and inspiring at the same time. I recently became an initiate of a Kemetic Shrine in Harlem NY but recently have been drawn to IFA and the Yoruba tradition. What I have noticed alot of similar concepts in the Spiritual system of Ancient Kemet and Ancient West African Yoruba tradition. Great job BRO! ASE! Keep representing Our Ancestors.
Brother! I've just subscribed to your channel! Keep doing this amazing work! I love West African, Being a African American I've always admired their work! Thanks for this brother!! May the hand of God be upon you!! "Much praises to god"
@mohamed ahmed go to Egypt and look at the walls of the Egyptians kingdom, you will find king and queens form kush that a blacks seating on the throne.
@mohamed ahmed Wheat? I could guess you are Egyptian or Arab going by your name. You guys don't want to accept you are recent migrants into Africa going by the Arab invasion into North Africa. Tell me, what part of ancient Egypt customs can one find among the modern Egyptians. Go to West Africa and other parts of Africa below the Sahara today and you will still some of the ancient Egyptians customs. Sadly, you guys don't respect the dead (i.e mummies). There is no way you would be treating your ancestors that way.
Love your videos thank you so much for taking the time to make them, I've been looking accurate unbiased African history material to teach my children ( and myself) about our heritage(Somali born living in London) but love the continent as a whole. Need my babies to know they come from greatness not something the school will teach. Again massive thanks.
I enjoyed this video. Please continue and explore other parts of Africa outside of IFE and you will surely find so so so many more similarities than differences.
Mr. Rabbit Blak I already know that West African languages and ancient egyptian are differnt language groups. Ancient egyptians also do no share facial features with West Africans... Also if Ancient Egyptians went to west Africa they would have brought thier civilization with them...
Excellent presentation of the two histories of our cultural history. You have done a splendid and well informed knowledge of the subject matter. I am a teacher who teach art especially African and African American art. Many of our young children are not exposed to the historical contributions that were made by ours ancestors who culturativated the world. It is wonderful to see you doing and making an impact on education in our young people. Thank you and God bless you.
I love my ancestors and I think they are beautiful strong Queens thank you my brother for sharing this amazing knowledge and culture with your people just amazing
Thanks for another very interesting video. The IFE Queen in the first slide looks like the typical East African yet she's from West Africa. That shows that people in the West migrated from the East/North East. Also there has and still is a lot of interbreeding between the different tribes so there's really no typical looks from any area. Many Somalians and Ethiopians are mixed with modern pale Arabs; hence their foreign looks.
The wonderfulkushites The Somali and Ethiopian a Indigenous people of our beloved continent there is nothing mixed with Arab, Our continent is the most diverse continent on Earth, we have many ethic group throughout the continent with Somalian or Ethiopian feature. The African did have the same look East African people are different from South African people, North African are different from west Africa. There is nothing mixed in Somalian or Ethiopian. How can the mixed with Arab when Arab just arrived to our continent in seven century AD, The population of Ethiopian alone is over 80 million people with different culture religion and way of life. As widely traveled African, we African are only people in position to tell our own story not people from know were will be telling our story. They are thousands of Ethic group in Africa that have similar feature of Somali and Ethiopian, Like Fulani, Nubian, Shoha, Bajun, Watusi, Wadabe, Oromo, Tuareg, Beja, Shuwa, Karamajong, Borana, Masai just to mention few, myself i am from west Africa, but with Somali feature both my Mother and my Father are native. Even we have Somali in Chad.
Most of the artisans, sculptors, builders, blacksmiths that existed in west africa were taken ro the americas to build up the colonies and the like. The problem for west africa was these skills were kept among these talented people which is why it seemed like west africans could never get it together again after that
actually the area which they came from which is nigeria if u didnt know is the richest country in modern day africa yes they have corruption but they are richer then egypt
@@DualPurpose how did u reply that fast and two u stated and i quote West africans could never get it together again but i gess Gambia Botswana Ghana And nigeria dont count
This probably speaks for itself, but I'm gessing I should assume that these statues were originally painted and the paint wore off with age? How were these painted? Realistically? Decorated? Or did this also depend on the culture?
they ife ones where plasterd in a very bright bronze while the east ones must have been painted regularly prolly more like greek ile ife stutues probolly would have colored beads
Egyptian sculpture and west African look alike because the west African people are from Egypt an old man told me that history.. The king are buried the same I am Akan (Ghana and ivory coast) if you go to a royal museum in ivory coast and if you asked they will tell you the all story.. The Akan in west Africa are from Egypt.
@@Volcanic_Eruption In the ancient times there are frequent migrations and backward migrations. Ancient Egypt may have resulted from migration of people from parts of Africa. But that doesn't stop people emigrating from Egypt back to Africa or West Africa as the case maybe. Even though, some histories maybe obscurd the remnants of people's origins are always reflected in their oral histories, traditions, languages and arts. So, it may not be farfetched if someone claims that their origins are from Egypt and it doesn't negate the Egyptian origins either.
@The Empress Even if they did came from the WEST they returned to the WEST. because the WEST was known to the ancient Egyptians as the LAND of the DEAD or the DUAT LAND and it was seen as a PARADISE LAND for REFUGESS escaping from the DANGERS of FOREIGN INVASIONS and CONQUERORS. The Ancient Egyptians & Phoenicians saw WEST AFRICA as the NEW WORLD, the same way as the SPANISH, PORTUGUESE and BRITISH saw the AMERICAS.
YOU MEAN ONLY IMBOCILES COMMENTING DREAMS AND FANTASY AFRICAN CARVING 1000S YEARS AFTER EGYTPTIANS CUTURE ENDED WERE ARE THE ONES FROM SAME TIME PERIOD THERE IS NONE DIFFERENT CULTURE NOT A THING TO DO WITH EGYPT SHOUTING KMT MEANS BLACK PEOPLE WELL THAT IS UTTER RUBBISH OR GLYPTH X IN CIRCULE WOULDNT BE USED DETERMINATIVE PLACE IE TOWN COUNTRY NOT A THING TO DO WITH PEOPLE
HomeTeam History I love your unifying theme for our African family, you're always positive and highlight the beauty of our African people; here is a shutout from a Somali brother. Much love to mother Africa, I already miss the feel of the sun and the sense of being alive and awake you get only from being in Africa.
It was made, during the time of the first kush king of Nubia. The Reason why the west african artifact looks new is because they made them with iron not brick unlike the Egyptians
I also think the notion that stylized or abstract African art is less sophisticated than African realist art, is an ethnocentric, Western European assumption. Abstract does not equal primitive! It's merely a different way of viewing spiritual life and the external world. Peace be with you.
I’m familiar with Egyptian and Benin sculpture, for decades ,I’ve recently seen. images of Ife castings and I’ve watched your videos that mention iron casting in ancient Ghana or Mali - it was of a staggeringly high technical artisanal quality - The Ife sculptures are are so beautiful & also lifelike unlike the quite stylised representations from Egypt . I’m a frequent visitor to the British Museum - I went to the museum in Oxford twenty years ago of that west African plunderer Major general Pitt-rivers and asked to see the beautiful Benin Ivory & bronze art depicting their Queen , they said -they weren’t on display - I realise now ,they may have been given back to the Edo museum in Nigeria - well I hope so anyhow 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏿
great video . and in case if anyone wondering all the face figures of the great ancient egyptians from the early dynasties to last are found among today's egyptians . i hope more you research more about today's egyptians and the great similraty with their ancestors
There are ancient oral traditions in Senegal from our ancestors that describe their migration from the Nile River, I don’t know. I am very proud to be black, to be West African, to be African. I love our people. Our own civilizations even if we completely disregard Egypt are great on their own.
Do the people of north east and south west look different? Nigeria and Egypt are 3000km apart. There could be about 2000 years between each sculpture. I don’t get the comparison. But I love the Ife sculptures, I think they are amazing!
Most of the benin artifact are 5000 years old same as the. Egyptian artifact. The reason why one looks new and the other looks old. Is because west africans create their artifact with iron and easy africa, created their artifact with brick and iron is stronger than bricks.
Excellent. I love your explanation of African art East vs West. I am impressed that a young Black Man is so educated and prolific in understanding the cultures of Africa. My wife is Nigerian Latino.

Most likely Royal markings
There are no Hausa Tribal markings. You are confused by other tribes in northern Nigeria that speak mainly hausa.

Egyptian sculpture and west African look alike because the west African people are from Egypt an old man told me that history.. The king are buried the same I am Akan (Ghana and ivory coast) if you go to a royal museum in ivory coast and if you asked they will tell you the all story.. The Akan in west Africa are from Egypt.
@@Volcanic_Eruption In the ancient times there are frequent migrations and backward migrations. Ancient Egypt may have resulted from migration of people from parts of Africa. But that doesn't stop people emigrating from Egypt back to Africa or West Africa as the case maybe. Even though, some histories maybe obscurd the remnants of people's origins are always reflected in their oral histories, traditions, languages and arts. So, it may not be farfetched if someone claims that their origins are from Egypt and it doesn't negate the Egyptian origins either.
@The Empress Even if they did came from the WEST they returned to the WEST. because the WEST was known to the ancient Egyptians as the LAND of the DEAD or the DUAT LAND and it was seen as a PARADISE LAND for REFUGESS escaping from the DANGERS of FOREIGN INVASIONS and CONQUERORS. The Ancient Egyptians & Phoenicians saw WEST AFRICA as the NEW WORLD, the same way as the SPANISH, PORTUGUESE and BRITISH saw the AMERICAS.
here we go with these fairy tales we were egyptions the greeks native americans all fantasy

Thanks for sharing this! Your videos are great. Did historians manage to pinpoint a creation date for the west African statues?
I don't think they have
HomeTeam History I love your unifying theme for our African family, you're always positive and highlight the beauty of our African people; here is a shutout from a Somali brother. Much love to mother Africa, I already miss the feel of the sun and the sense of being alive and awake you get only from being in Africa.
HomeTeam History how can I order your hats?
dirtydocmccruddy
I dont really sell them anymore...sorry
It was made, during the time of the first kush king of Nubia. The Reason why the west african artifact looks new is because they made them with iron not brick unlike the Egyptians
Thank you for this video, I just subscribed to your channel✌🏾️
I also think the notion that stylized or abstract African art is less sophisticated than African realist art, is an ethnocentric, Western European assumption. Abstract does not equal primitive! It's merely a different way of viewing spiritual life and the external world. Peace be with you.
Very beautiful video
First let me say i love your videos . here we go with the east coast vs west coast ish😀
I love what you do.
"It's a known fact that most Egyptian Kings were completely out of shape..." LOL!!
I’m familiar with Egyptian and Benin sculpture, for decades ,I’ve recently seen. images of Ife castings and I’ve watched your videos that mention iron casting in ancient Ghana or Mali - it was of a staggeringly high technical artisanal
quality -
The Ife sculptures are are so beautiful & also lifelike unlike the quite stylised representations from Egypt . I’m a frequent visitor to the British Museum - I went to the museum in Oxford twenty years ago of that west African plunderer
Major general Pitt-rivers and asked to see the beautiful Benin Ivory & bronze art depicting their Queen , they said -they weren’t on display -
I realise now ,they may have been given back to the Edo museum in Nigeria - well I hope so anyhow 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏿
Fantastic video, thx xx
great video . and in case if anyone wondering all the face figures of the great ancient egyptians from the early dynasties to last are found among today's egyptians . i hope more you research more about today's egyptians and the great similraty with their ancestors
Beautiful!
You should do a snapbacj with Memnon on the back
There are ancient oral traditions in Senegal from our ancestors that describe their migration from the Nile River, I don’t know. I am very proud to be black, to be West African, to be African. I love our people. Our own civilizations even if we completely disregard Egypt are great on their own.
Thank you, I am speechless to all the Beauty💖 I've SUBSCRIBED to your channel..... I definitely need what you got! ALSO, your hard are interesting....
Do the people of north east and south west look different? Nigeria and Egypt are 3000km apart. There could be about 2000 years between each sculpture. I don’t get the comparison. But I love the Ife sculptures, I think they are amazing!
Most of the benin artifact are 5000 years old same as the. Egyptian artifact. The reason why one looks new and the other looks old. Is because west africans create their artifact with iron and easy africa, created their artifact with brick and iron is stronger than bricks.
Excellent analysis. I found out that the lines on the west Africans (ife) were indicative of tribal affiliations.
Yeah
Excellent. I love your explanation of African art East vs West. I am impressed that a young Black Man is so educated and prolific in understanding the cultures of Africa. My wife is Nigerian Latino.
