Thank you Zeinab , UNESCO and Africa for this remarkable series. I have noticed that most of the people show case their dance, music, stories and visual arts during an interview. As a result, I realize that we have become witnesses to a "living history" not a dead one.
I love amazigh people,!! They deserve their culture and freedom as much as any ruling governments of any country !
Man Antom séparatiste ?? Maniss arass nix?? Chik amazigh ?
Mehmet suday thank you for your sensible statement, we really suffer from oppression and silencing, but who doesn't when you are ruled by gulf petrol paid and remote manipulated governments

There are many reasons to be proud of being African. The African continent is the region that's growing the fastest economically in the world right now and millions are being lifted out of poverty. It's expected because of how fast the continent is growing economically, no African country will be a 3rd world nation in a few decades.

True
I can see you are a smart man, how would you remedy such foolishness ?
TRUE
too bad they're not aware of their rich West and Central African history. It was as amazing as the Vikings, Native Americans, etc. The Mali Empire and Ghana Empires, Benin, Kongo all were major trading hubs for European and Middle Eastern traders. Timbuktu was a world center for education and had it's own university called Sankore. There are thousands of manuscripts which have survived to this day that were written and compiled in Timbuktu, Mali.
@@marielaveau6362 The Ghana and Mali Empires were also Slave Empires they trade almost entirely in slaves, ivory, and gold. Yes Timbuktu had a university, they also had the largest slave market in Africa.
People need to shut up and watch this series! it is about Africa this is not the time to argue about colour of skin or who is true African and who isnt. Massinisa of the Numidian Empire told the Romans " Africa is for the Africans"! he didnt specify the colour , the language nor the religion. Our shared continent unite us all. North Africans are Africans and will be Africans regardless of their colour, no one in Algeria or Morocco said they were Europeans they are all proud of their African heritage. Enough of the pathetic hatred!
P.S. I was named after St. Augustine of Hippo in Anaba, Algeria and i am proud . Power to the Africans!

Dear Mrs. Zeinab Badawi .... you will definitely remembered in the history of humanity. You have done a nobel documentary that doesn't only offer a contribution to the evolution of humanity, but furthermore, offers a critical evidence that many generations have vanished due to greed for money that escalated to wars and extinction in many forms. This is a starting point to alarm the current generation about the future of humanity. When does that day come when educational institutions, and the world media show the benefits of peaceful coexistence. The humanity is quite thankful to you Mrs.Zeinab..
Many Amazigh I have talked to have said they are tired of being called Arabs
@Fact Check do you belive that 50000 not fully arabs because they were also people from the lavant invaded north africa changed the demographic of millions of berbers that is stupidity

"Hannibal is one of the great figures of the history or Carthage, but it's sad that he was a military man, a figure of war." At last I hear an archaeologist saying that all those "great" conquerors and warriors like Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great or Napoleon were, in fact, people who should not be praised for that! They are not heroes but violent invaders, robbers, criminals. We should learn to pay more attention to what is really valuable in human history.
I agree but this is the old approach in the teaching of history!
@@malimalou751 Yes, it is, but it still is alive and kicking, unfortunately.
Fortunately, Zeineb did a great job in bringing the most accurate details concerning this very sensitive issue of North Africa... some people used to claim they're the natives of my country Algeria but this episode proves them wrong and pays no attention to their fabricated claims.

Today's question And very clear Was The Roman Empire . "Not White"... Was Rome a Middle Eastern City?How do you explain the presence of Arabic in all languages? In Russian, Italy, Spain french and in many languagesThe Supporters of the racist lie to us
The Supporters of the racist right-wing currents - which believe in white racial superiority - having ancestors of the "pure white race" of Europeans, genetic tests of the remains of ancient settlers have shown that ancient Europe is almost a melting pot for the migration of ancestral dynasties from present-day Africa, the Middle East and Russia
This Roman Empire had no limits. The population of the city of Rome reached one million inhabitants since the end of the first century, which was considered a very huge number, in a world whose population did not exceed 200 million at the time. The Roman military legions represented real examples of this empire that contributed to the promotion of cultural diversity, given that the warriors of these legions were settling in remote areas, marrying and settling there. These warriors were recruited not only from the inhabitants of the city of Rome, but from all over the empire and even from outside it, and this means that the recruits were coming from Gaul (a Roman name for the region of the Celtic peoples north of Italy, France and present-day Belgium) and from Spain, Mauritania and the Maghreb region known at the time as Numidia, from Syria and Palestine, and of course from Egypt.Genetic tests of the remains of ancient settlers have shown that ancient Europe is almost a melting pot of ancestral dynasties migration from present-day Africa, the Middle East, and Russia. Genetic discoveries and research showed that the ancestors of Europeans living on European lands today came thousands of years ago from non-European places, and brought with them - through three major migration waves - art, music, agriculture, cities, domesticated horses, invention of the wheel - and perhaps the plague, and they carried the roots of the Indo-European languages that It is spoken in most parts of the Old Continent today. Diverse empire The ethnic origins of the people of the empire were much more diverse than we could possibly imagine. Ancient Rome was the capital of diversity in a sprawling empire.This Roman Empire had no limits. The population of the city of Rome reached one million inhabitants since the end of the first century, which was considered a very huge number, in a world whose population did not exceed 200 million at the time. The Roman military legions represented real examples of this empire that contributed to the promotion of cultural diversity, given that the warriors of these legions were settling in remote areas, marrying and settling there. These warriors were recruited not only from the inhabitants of the city of Rome, but from all over the empire and even from outside it, and this means that the recruits were coming from Gaul (a Roman name for the region of the Celtic peoples north of Italy, France and present-day Belgium) and from Spain, Mauritania and the Maghreb region known at the time as Numidia, from Syria and Palestine, and of course from Egypt.
Rome is the capital of the Middle East The writer mentions that a team of researchers from Stanford University in the United States managed during the past year to analyze the DNA of a group of remains found in tombs in the ancient Roman capital. And they came up with the genetic map of 127 people from 29 different locations, to form a clear picture about the origins of the inhabitants of the region on which this empire was built, not only during the period of its existence, but over the 12 thousand years of human life in the areas in which it was found.The results of these researches indicated that the inhabitants of Europe during the Neolithic era descended from Anatolia, and there are others who carry the genes of Iranian peasants and Caucasian fishermen. During the Iron Age, the population carried the Numidian genes. In the Roman Empire, most of the genetic origins that have been identified belong to the eastern Mediterranean. Margaret Antonio, the leader of this team of researchers, considers that the Romans during the founding of their great empire were very similar to the Greeks, the Maltese, the Cypriots, the Lebanese and the Syrians.
Miss badawi your documentary are so important and educational to me thank you so much
This is a great travel, history series, not dry and boring at all.
European and Asian history pales in comparison to African history, never knew this until we started watching this series.
It really doesn’t.
Asia wins hands down, and only north and east africa can match Europe
On seconds thoughts you may be right., however if Africa was allowed to flourish in the last few centuries, they might have progressed equally.@@johnmonteiro5825

i wish she did a similar thing with the egypt episode and focused on more than just the southern egyptians.. this was good and well rounded episode
Ironically enough the Nubians she interviewed aren't related to the ancient Egyptians they had their own separate kingdom back in the day
@@joeel-shazly8326 was she interviewing nubians or southern egyptians
@@xg835 most of them were Nubians specifically the girl that said the ancient Egyptians were all black.
The upper "southern" Egyptians we call them "Sa'idi" they're genetically distinct from the Nubians, they tend to have a little darker skin some even have dark brown skin but their skull structure is caucasoid.
According to a recent studying done on 857 sample of Northern Egyptians and Southern Egyptians they mostly (%62) share the Y-chromosome genetic marker E1b1b specifically the subclade V-22 which originated in Egypt and can be found in ancient Egyptian mummies like the Abusir mummies
@@joeel-shazly8326 I'm so called Black and my genetic marker is V22. Ramses 2 is said to be a descendant of this DNA. The orginal genetic marker for Northern Egypt from all my studies says they were Black African who made their way up from the South and some from thr Levant. Could of been Kushtic (Ethiopian, Somalia) in the North, which makes sense in regard to the so called "Caucasion" skull shape. But the evidence and history does point to Black Africans originally inhabiting North Africa with an admixture at some point in the ancient history.

I didn't like the coverage of Morocco so much, it was my least favorite because it was very superficial. i don't think marrakech is the right direction to understand more of its history, they're so many places in the south east where the amazigh people are based, they could made the link between the history of the Berbers from Tunisia all the way to Morocco and their path to be based more in the end of the Atlas mountains and the desert side intel this day.
But still my favorite series of the documentaries i've ever seen in my life so far.
Agree!
The big majority of berbers are from morocco and more than 40% of people are still speaking and using berbere languages. in algeria they have only kayle and mozabit in tunisia none speaks berbere so in my opinion morocco is the best place to learn about the berbere culture
@@alielamrani669 Using language as a criteria to define Amazigh culture and Berber communities does make sense but is not enough. In Algeria, for instance, the Berbers are not just to be found within the Kabylia region (Grande Kabylie) in the North and the Mozabite and Tuareg communities within the South but also within the Chawiya who are based in the mountainous region of the Aures that stretch far into the eastern region, all the way into the borders with Tunisia. This, in addition to regions where no Berber vernacular is used (because lost) but which are nonetheless historically Amazigh like Little Kabylia (Petite Kabylie located to the east of the Grande Kabylie) and that includes a series of towns and villages running along part of the north-eastern coast. These details should indicate the importance of the Amazigh stock within the identity of the greatest number of Algerians.
Having said that, it would be a mistake, in my view, to believe in the notion of a wholesome Berber identity based on a separate ethnicity as historically the populations of North Africa have been known for their diversity due to the continuous heterogeneity that has marked them through time. So Algerians in their majority do see themselves as Amazigh, which effectively they are, by virtue of this population mixing that characterizes their long history, at least up to the start of the French colonial period, that is, up to 1830.
@@alielamrani669 we have Kabyle chaoui mezab touareg Beni souss …the country is huge that is why you would think Berber occupies small regions but it is actually not the case ..not to forget that 80% is the desert is inhabited

Welcome
I think many people refuse to accept the idea of an Indigenous North African ethnicity due to the close proximity of Europe and the Middle East. Which is wrong. Just like the KhoiKhoi (Khwekhwe) are an Indigenous South African ethnicity, who are different to Bantu or Nilotic. They too have descendents who are the product of mixing with Caucasians etc, but that doesn't mean they aren't an ethnic group unique to Africa. Yes, many North Africans are mixed but the Amazigh and other groups are still Indigenous Africans. Not all "Black" Africans look the same and not all Africans are "Black". Let's love, appreciate and support ALL Africans and learn to embrace and enjoy our similarities and differences.❤️
Also, Arab is a culture. Like Latino. Not a race. So it's not accurate to equate many North Africans' Arab heritage with their ethnicity.
In the beginning all Africans were Black. At one point everyone was Black. Europeans were not in Africa when the Pyramids were built.
I think they’re called indigenous because of timing. The berbers were there before the Arab invasion. And we know extremely ancient Moroccan DNA has sub-Saharan mixture. So by that context, 10000 years from now, we might be considered indigenous Americans. Or maybe a better example is Mexicans. We can argue that Mexicans are indigenous Americans because of their significant admixture with Native Americans, even though we know they’re European by way of Spain. Ten thousand years from now, no one will care about the admixture. They will just call them indigenous.
To accepte or not to change nothing for the Amazighs bécasse we are very very Goodyear fighter in the story🤣
Thr bantus didnt migrate from western africa to a recent time the oldest kongoid skull dont go older than 8000 years and mesolithic and paleolithic northern africans was mainly of near Eastern origin and had a robust caucasoid morphology with straight hair cro magnon magnon like
Yet these bantus who themselves are mixed of north african man with sub saharan african women and other archaic groups tell other people in the continent youre not indigenous
You forgot to mention the vandals and goth who went through and settled north africa, which are also a deep part of this history, and which makes northern africa have a deep european history
The vandals were in North Africa between 429CE and 534CE. They were not even called Europeans. Rome called them barbarians.

Yes a land of famine, ethnic cleansing, extreme poverty and a AIDS/HIV epidemic a real "Land of Milk & Honey"

Those who occupied North Africa today are not the original people that had that land...The Moors or Muurs are the historical people and history proved this. Dark African people are the true inhabitants of North Africa. Only after the Arab invasion with Islam did this start to change. Even White Arabs know this and teach it to their kids.
Yes truth
The Moors are Just The Amazigh/Berbers of Morocco...
They were neither Blacks or Whites
The Moors were Berbers, which are the same people who live there today...
@@badmanthings those white people claiming to be Berber are not they were and are blavk
@@CHAVAH_ISRAEL Get your eyes checked. These people aint white or black. They are simply Berber/Amazigh, which is their own ethnicity. The vast majority of them is brown/olive skinned, which is the typical phenotype for a Mediterranean climate. Go to North-Africa and call them whites, see what happens next. These people went to war with whites and enslaved whites for over thousands of years....
One emperor syrian is Marcus Julius Philippus or Philip the arab
And There are some from libanon and some Algerians
Libyans.....
Massenissa betrayed Hannibal and caused the destruction of Carthage
Yes betrayed him over a woman
Enclave communications center
But the final outcome is that Massinissa offered the romans (probably unintentionally ) a foothold in North Africa and thus destroying the northern African kingdoms forever...
Enclave communications center
I am a fan of the Roman military effectiveness but on the cultural and civilizational levels, they destroyed many good things that were built in Greece, Levant and North Africa....
Still this is history, we can’t undo destiny...
Enclave communications center
Carthage already had trade settlements in Mauretania Tingitana (Modern Morocco) like Lixus and Tamuda. Carthage didn’t have the numbers and the mindset of full military control they were more focused on the business... probably that’s why they lost...
Zainab ,you are the Africa culture ambassador ,thanks so much for your amazing Documentary.
Caspians tall with some African features...... arent they African?
That's exactly my thinking. Some of these episodes are doing their best to downplay African's presence in Africa.
@@tahesi7232 facts this whole part is full of bs
@Gamal Nasser lol shut up no one said anything about sub Sahara etc etc Ancient Egypt was Black get over it
@Gamal Nasser so are you calling the producers of this series afrocentric? Because even they said it and if you look at upper egypt which is by Sudan they are clearly dark skin
@Gamal Nasser yes they did you can lie all you want to feed your ego btw the host is Sudanese

Scientists recently found that Amazigh share DNA with people from the ethio Somalia region. So most likely, a group of people from there migrated to Northern Africa.
Modern Berber and Somalia, Ethiopia,are both cousins genetically ,they are both having the same E haplogroup ,
@@a7raramazigh948
Yup.
They share west eurasian ancestors.
@@frankw3678
They share DNA with Arabs yes, but I'm talking about where the amazigh were from before.the tribes actually started.
@@nabil399
My guy, I am not black. I am very light skinned, but it is partially cause my mother is white. Amazigh do have quite a bit of black people in their tribes. Especially at the border of the Sahara and sub-Saharan Africa. Also, share DNA with people from the ethio Somalia region, this is a fact. Amazigh and people from the ethio Somalia region share the same mother. This is a fact. That doesn't necessarily mean a peoples from there moved to North Africa, but it's very likely.
I am not sure why but Ms. Badawi seems more at ease in this episode than when she was in Eritrea and parts of Ethiopia. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Why Afro American want to put the race problem here ? It’s an American problem not our problem so please enjoy the beauty of North Africa or shut up !
👍❤️
My generation need to explore more
You missed definitely the history of the moors
That's because they had to white wash it😅😂 they now like to call The Moors Berber or barbarian and many of them foolishly except this terminology which is a white terminology for barbarian instead of calling themselves the historical title that was given to them by the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt which was muurs or Moors or Moabites descendants of Moab.
Morocco, Mauritania ,Mali all share one thing in common the Moorish prefixes. Any linguist will tell you the same. And don't forget the mobites a synagogue

We are Amazigh ( berbers ) native people of north africa , our language is Tamazight
When I was in Morocco many of the African berbers I talked to said they have always been and will always be connected to the people of Africa and that the people that you see today are not the original berbers but a mixture of berbers and Spaniards... the true berbers not those you see today a lot of them mixed half breeds we're all African black Africans.
Berbers & Spaniards? That’s a lie. No one told you that.
There were Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Vandal, Arab, Jewish settlements in Morocco, Tunisia & Algeria centuries before the establishment of a Spanish nationality. None of the nationalities I mentioned described the Amazigh/Berbers as black Africans. They knew and made clear distinctions between them.
Very nice people I wouldn’t be on this planet without them
Probably one of the most important thing about the series was at 26:08, since the name Africa derived from Mediterraneans who conquered North Africa, and had only referred to the continent as such from North Africa due to natural barriers that had them assume that was all the continent had. While we have picked up the name as a whole, the original name of our continent is actually Alkebulan, a continent full of history and culture, and not what Europeans refer to as the 'Dark Continent' with no history or technological advancement.
No we (amazigh) are mediterraneans who named OUR LAND (the land of north africa) as ifrikia meaning land of the goddess ifri. we also call it tamazgha. you understand north africa is on the medditerranean right?
@@csx3180 you are not making sense
@@kofisam9650 correction: you don't understand what i'm saying.
African negroids were never united and never had a name for the continent. They all had different tribes and different cultures and languages. The continent never had a name.
Very educational
Wow! Africa is the really mother of the world Nations.
This is amazingly beautiful and diverse
There are many misleading informations here even translations ,as I am native Berber moroccan, Tuareg consider Berber tribe,the researcher has said many times amazigh Tuareg on translate recalled it only Tuareg ,I am anthorplogy ,as I said this documentary has ideology background,north Africa first place it's not melt races, due to many analysis DNA of populations, the results are the Berber speakers and darija speakers or( arabised speaker) ,carrying the paternal fathers E M81 and Em 78 Wich are both native to North African ,even are the same haplogroups as Iberomaursians paternals which have been found in north African caves , autosomaly the north African consider 89% north Africans rest are Europeans ,subsaharians,middle Eastern ,the Berber or proto berbers are results of continuously the (aterian, Iberomaursians), according to human modern DNA researchers ,shame to see this mistake about our heritage and origin ,we are Berber we have been here in north Africa since the Dawn of history ,we are result of first back immigration to Africa ,at least translate the explanation of people in this video without modificate the words ,
