@@TingTong2568 What is "waz kang" claim? The idea of Bantu origin in West Africa came from Joseph Greenberg in 1954 on the belief that Bantu people "look like" West Africans.

Other peoples have “replaced” others before. The ancestors of the current Europeans, the Indo-Europeans replaced other cultures that had lived in Europe before them. Same in Japan.
Yt people really insist on spreading misinformation about our origins when our oral history clearly says otherwise. This the Propaganda about Bantu people needs to be stopped.
Click are not adopted in Nguni but they are part of nguni your history is inconsistent first you said we are from western africa and then you associate the migration with the sahel region so stop lying
Nguni people are the only Bantu people who have the click in their language. Maybe it's a coincidence that they also share borders with Khoisan, who have also have click sound.
I don't know why you make videos about subjects that are geographically and intellectually distant to you. There are no Bantus in West Africa, but from Cameroon to the Cape of Good Hope. I am Muntu Fang and we come from the Bahr el Gazal area, present-day Sudan and South Sudan, westwards to Ec. Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon and Congo, following the Uele River. Other Bantu peoples went to the south and southwest of Africa. For us, everything that exists has the universal essence NTU. This essence is instantiated according to the organization of its energy and mass, taking forms such as the human MUNTU, whose plural is BANTU. BA is the plural prefix, like BAmileke, BAtutsi, BAcongo. Other forms of Ntu are KINTU, HANTU, KANTU, etc. etc. We speak according to this philosophy or science by putting prefixes to the verb according to whether the subject is MUntu (man) or KIntu (thing or inanimate existence), HAntu or existence in place or time, etc. That is to say, the categories of everything that exists are defined by our philosophy and therefore define the language. Obama is a Bantu name widespread in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Cameroon, but it also exists in Kenya, like President Obama's paternal family. In Africa we are fed up with the appropriations of the West.
Obama is a Luo. My maternal lineage is Luo, but my paternal one is Bantu. Yes, Bantu came from Misri (Egypt). The biggest problem with having a clear idea of where we come from is that Bantus assimilated people on the way. Stories may have changed. However, the baseline is that we came from the Nile Valley. That doesn't mean we built the civilizations in the area. Perhaps we were peasant farmers like we still are. The reality is that we were there. A people disconnected from each other for hundreds of years cannot really have the same story if it is a lie.
Stop confusing people, just like Wilhelm Blik, you believe that South Africa was discovered before the blacks came to it, black people were always there and they moved place to place because of grazing lands and seasons. If all black are from Niger and Nigeria where do they originate from because we cannot just be from one small place, while history shows the cradle of men kind elsewhere.
There are 5 main ethnic groups that emerged from the earliest homo sapiens: - Khoisan (The 1st to branch off from the common ancestral line of humans alongside the Pygmies) - Pygmies (branched off from the Khoisan ancestors and settled in the rainforests until their "Bantu & Ubangi-fication") - Nilo-Saharan (probably a direct descendant of the common ancestor as they've continued to inhabit the same lands as the earliest humans) (They also practice bodily modification practices such as head elongation and scarification. They probably invented circumcision as well) - Afro-Asiatics (branched off from the Nilo-Saharan ancestors and settled the north and north east parts of Africa and later the whole world) - West Africans (branched off from the Nilo-Saharan ancestors and settled West Africa) The eastern West Africans (Bantu & Ubangi ancestors) would at some point migrate through the rainforest assimilating the Pygmy populations entirely. That is why there aren't any Pygmy languages today. The Bantu would continue through the forest and spread out into the majority of Southern Africa, assimilating the Khoisan populations they encountered. Most modern Southern Africans have varying levels of Khoisan and Pygmy DNA as a result of this period. Of course the distribution of ancient human populations in Ancient and Prehistoric Africa is not as widely studied compared to the rest of the world so there is a lot that we may never know.
@@Mat_ThabangThat's what they do when trying to legitimize their Nazi-Viking history, their history in America is also questionable. You mean to to tell to believe people who changed people like chameleons in the 60s?
Three points, which I would like to take you to task on, that you've raised on your presentation, although I think there could be more if I start to be finnicky. 1. The Bantu's Cameroonian originality. You're right when you say that no one knows when they went southward and eastward from there (leading to their expansion) and why, because in truth there are no scientific or archeological proof to back the theory. However, I can see that what you did you repackaged the old news as new, which is not enriching the discussion. So, here's my contribution on this point. The genome human project, for instance, has managed to group the eastern, middle and southern people as having come from one stock. The Cameroonian people falling outside the haplogroup, with partial links, which would be a stretch if it was to be used to show the blood relations between Cameroonians and other tribes who subscribed to this Bantu title. 2. The theory that the Khoisan people were the original custodian (the aborigines) of Southern Africa. This theory found its origins in the political propaganda of the South African 19th century. Sadly, without any archeological findings or a basis in oral history, it was made by a people who, when they had landed from Europe on our shores in 1652, they happened to have had the Khoisans as their first encounter in the Cape of Good Hope. Funny, enough their records of those days then prove that there were 'swarthy' people they had also encountered. Unfortunately, their rewriting history had not been successful, because the seafaring Portuguese like Vasco da Gama and Bartholomeu Diaz, between 1486 and 1497, have recorded that not only have they encountered black people in the south-southern and south-eastern shores of South Africa, but they have established that they have appeared to have been in those places for some time, which would make the theory of Khoisan being the original custodians of this land difficult to prove. 3. On land you say the Bantu populous had occupied had a vague understanding of land propriety as supposed to Europeans. You say that they had 'not a fixed territorial border but a shared resource...' and that 'their relationship with land was fluid'. Again, this assumption is based on the theory that was haphazardly formulated that the South African Bantu were hunter-gatherers and nomads. This theory, which began to be prevalent around 1800s, when amaXhosa, in particular, were fighting for their dispossessed lands by the Europeans, was developed as a political tool to undermine their claims on land. However, there are archived records in South Africa which argue that the Abantu people had always had a clear sense of propriety when it came to land, and they have called on those tenets that informed their beliefs when it came to reclaiming their lands.
Bantu didn't come from West Africa at least in the latest migration patterns. We, East African Bantus, came from the North. Had our communities been connected before colonization, one would argue that we met and decided to alter our traditions. Even communities like mine which is surrounded by Nilotic groups in Western Kenya has the same stories and language with communities in the Southern part of Africa. While modern scholars dispute our oral traditions on coming from Misri (Egypt), they do not dispute that we had a presence at Mt Elgon near Sudan and Ethiopia. This is more plausible because it is recent history - happened around 1760s. The collapse of the Kingdom of Makuria also appears to have coincided with the arrival of Abakuria people, ferocious archers and sharpshooters found in Kenya and Tanzania. I don't claim that the Makuria civilization was under Abakuria but I found some similarities in behaviours and even migration patterns between the two. The biggest problem is that our story is told by Europeans rather than by ourselves. Bantu itself is a useless erroneous generalization of our people.
@@limofootball The Phoenician we’re dark skin from Middle East but not related to bantu. We bantu people we never migrated from somewhere. Central, east and Southern Africa is a home to bantu people.
So what happened was that the West Africans were the first Sub Saharan Africans to adopt Iron. This allowed The Bantus to sweep across Central, Eastern & Southern Africa, due to them having an upper hand in agriculture & warfare!
Let's look at culture and royal culture and believes it's about 80% same. The initiation of the traditional healers, royal bloodline, military, we look at marriages are almost the same. We also look clan names identified to certain animals
Cameroon don’t even have many Bantu’s no way a small group of Bantu’s in Cameroon will become more than 500million people and own more than 24 countries in Africa why other Africans couldn’t spread like bantu
Colonisation. People hate to admit it, but African tribes colonised each other long before Europeans arrived. Here in Malawi, native Malawians don't exist. Shake Zulu drove tribes up from south. Also Africans from Congo invaded Malawi.
Much like the far east, europe, and asian-subcontinent, all of these areas had radically different populations living there about 4-5 thousand years ago. Almost all modern ethnic groups are products of movements of farmers/herder populations with little mixing from the original inhabitants of the area (eastern Bantu-speaking people have some Ancient Eastern pastoral nomadic, Southern Bantu groups have quite a lot of Khoisan genetics etc).
@@SKMonatshiebe Twa, Hadze, Pygmy, and Nilotic races originate in central Africa. Bantu people belong to the E1b1 haplogroup they share with North Africans, West Africans and North East Africans.
Those were large groups that split into smaller ones. The same can be said about Bantus of Nyanza, Kenya and Tanzania. We are like 20 groups. While we have no specific name and possibly don't know about the existence of each other. Our languages and behaviours are almost the same. Most of our stories of origin are almost the same.
Good documentary. Although, too much time was given to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and not enough time to the Tran-Saharan, Red Sea and Indian Ocean Slave Trades as a key driver of the forced displacement, forced removal and forced dispersal of tens of million of Bantus to North Africa, the Middle East, parts of southern India, Bangladesh, and the Far East for over a millennium by Arab/Muslim slave traders.
No sé por qué haceis vídeos de temas que os son lejanos geograficamente e intelectualmente. No hay bantus en Africa Occidental sino desde Camerun hasta el cabo de Buena Esperanza. Yo soy muntu fang y venimos de la zona de Bahr el Gazal, actual Sudan y Sudan del Sur, hacia el oeste hasta Guinea Ec. Camerun, Gabon y Congo, siguiendo el rio Uele. Otros pueblos bantu se dirigieron hacia el sur y suroeste de Africa. Para nosotros, todo lo que existe tiene la esencia universal NTU. Esta esencia se instancia segun la organización de su energia y masa adoptando formas como la humana MUNTU, cuyo plural es BANTU. BA es el prefijo de plural, como BAmileke, BAtutsi, BAcongo. Otras formas de Ntu son KINTU, HANTU, KANTU, etc. etc. Hablamos según esta filosofia o ciencia poniendo prefijos al verbo según el sujeto sea MUntu (hombre) o KIntu (cosa o existencia inanimada), HAntu o existencia en lugar o en tiempo, etc. Es decir, las categorias de todo lo que existe están definidas por nuestra filosofia y por ende define el lenguage. Obama es un nombre bantu extendido en Guinea Ecuatorial Gabon y Camerún, pero también existe en Kenya, como la familia paterna del presidente Obama. En Africa estamos hartos de las apropiaciones de Occidente.
This is the problem when Europeans start writing African history. Am sure the makers of this documentary are European. Banyus never came from west africa. Take a look around, travel east and central Africa before spewing misinformed information.
there is no bantu language bantus don't even speak bantu languages there is no country in africa except somalia were everyone speaks the exact same language some african countries have 50 or more random languages its all complete gibberish 😂
It is wrong because the is upside-down how originated west Africa. EG where we call south Africa is supposed to be the north Africa. I do not trust all history about Africa. I think is false.
No such thing as Bantu people. West Africans look vastly different from South Africans, even Mozambiquans look different from South Africans (except some Shangaan people) Zimbabwean people also look different from South Africans (again except Ndebele people). The reason why Shangaan and Ndebele people look like South Africans is because they were South Africans but moved North running away from King Shaka. In South Africa the Venda and Tsonga people look more like Zimbabweans and Mozambiquans because they are more closely related to them. The confusion with Bantu migration came from the Jere people, Ngoni people and many other people who migrated North running away from the violence called iMfecane that was taking place in South Africa. These people influenced the areas they migrated to. When the Europeans got there they thought the migration happened in reverse and grouped many people from central and southern Africa that didn't need to be grouped together as they are not related.
I think BAntu are people that speak bantu languages. BANtu languages share same rules and philosify. We have and believe in one god, Zamba. We use N as a prefix in many names. Im from Equatorial Guinea. Umkhonto we sizwe, the southafrican movement antiapartheid (zulu, xhosa) is translate as Akon ya esi wa in fang language (Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon). (Translate as the spear of our people) See similarities of languages separated more than 4000 kilometers. The name Ngema exist in South Africa. In Ec. Guinea we have the same name, write as Nguema. We have the name Mbeki in our language FANG. Its time to start a deep and broad research on BANTU, by ourselfs, by our academics.

Cameroun have many bantu groups like bamileke, basa, bafang, etc. More than 70 percent of cameroonians are bantu. Paul Biya, the president of Cameroon is fang as I. We are baNTU. Everywhere you see BA as prefix of plural, they are BAntu. Dont speaks on issues you have no idea
@@christopherwongailester6751 For your information 70 to 80% of Cameronian people are Bantu. Beti and Bamileke they are Bantu originated from “Kongo basin river” Kongo is the cradle of bantu people.

I think BAntu are people that speak bantu languages. BANtu languages share same rules and philosify. We have and believe in one god, Zamba. We use N as a prefix in many names. Im from Equatorial Guinea.
Umkhonto we sizwe, the southafrican movement antiapartheid (zulu, xhosa) is translate as Akon ya esi wa in fang language (Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon). (Translate as the spear of our people)
See similarities of languages separated more than 4000 kilometers.
The name Ngema exist in South Africa. In Ec. Guinea we have the same name, write as Nguema. We have the name Mbeki in our language FANG.
Its time to start a deep and broad research on BANTU, by ourselfs, by our academics.
So miseducating. Bantus did not originate from the west of Africa

Cameroun have many bantu groups like bamileke, basa, bafang, etc. More than 70 percent of cameroonians are bantu. Paul Biya, the president of Cameroon is fang as I. We are baNTU. Everywhere you see BA as prefix of plural, they are BAntu.
Dont speaks on issues you have no idea
@nvozang3193 and what's the translation of" people" in their lingua
@@christopherwongailester6751 For your information 70 to 80% of Cameronian people are Bantu. Beti and Bamileke they are Bantu originated from “Kongo basin river” Kongo is the cradle of bantu people. Evidence is there’s 440 Bantu tribes out of 450 tribes in Kongo. Me, Myself I’m Bantu from Kongo and I’m from Baluba tribe. Which is the largest tribe in Kongo. We never migrated anywhere else. although the Belgium tried to manipulate our culture and history that we migrated from Egypt that is a lies and we did proved them wrong. Bantu people life and journey started in Kongo.
