I am from Africa Zimbabwe of the Rozvi people of the Moyo totem. You did some research on your history pretty accurate account. We shall be great again. We have technologies.
@Easter Worshipper and BTW, there are no technology the white claims to have developed, that they did not steal from us black, even without the hindsight of western education. We are gods to you evil breeds of mankind...we are the real and only Hue=black, man=beings (Huemans), created by God Almighty Himself. Even as slaves, we were the ones feeding your wicked asses...without us, you can't eat.
yes, YES , YEEEES !! Spread the truth, brother. WAKANDA is real my brothers and sisters, spread the good news. I kno dae way !Now lets all sing the national anthem of Wakanda: tololololo eekekekkekeke
The thing is that people don’t want to believe that Africa has history. They’ll get solid proof of civilization going on and they’ll 1. Either continue to trust their gut and say they were just tribes or 2. Say the Arabs did it
Just to add on from a true Munhumutapa princess. Munhumutapa in Shona literally means "the person who takes by force" = conqueror , which became the title of the rulers . Zimbabwe derives its name from Great Zimbabwe, its original name being "Dzimba Dzemabwe" , literal translation is "great houses of stone" and not court like the explorer said . From me its a thumbs up , loved it and thank you for sharing our stories and heritage . "maita , tinotenda" ~thank you , we are great full from the Munhumutapa Empire , (it still Lives)
@@bobbye.wright4424 Hi Bobby the term shona actually does not exists untill the end of the 18th century. It came from the Matebeles. The people used to be identified by dialects. The Mutapa Empire was based in the North and the rulers would be present day Korekore people. These are also called Tavara people. In Korekore language the Rulers were known ad Mwene weMutapa. Mwene in korekore means owner or Lord. Mutapa comes from kutapwa thus giving the title to the one who conquers. In general this would translate to Lord of the Conquerer
@@FungaiVictorTsanguprofile africa history is magnificent!. 29 years old today i discovered the Rozvi empire. By reading about Changamire. We never learn these things in school in canada.
Mutapa made the same mistake as my own people when confronted with invaders. When various conquerors were trying to gain a foothold in Armenia they would often play on rivalries between feuding princes supporting one claimant to the throne. If only people could learn from history.
Just watched Captain America Civil War and I am happy to say they did the Black Panther character justice! Chadwick Boseman did his thing! He brought his A game. Looking forward to seeing Wakanda on the screen in his solo movie. I came close to Zimbabwe this past summer when I was in South Africa. Thanks brother!
This is great, as Africans we fail to tell our own stories in a manner that is sometimes respectful and honoring to ourselves and our history. For those who are asking about information on African history not sure about his sources but if you do have natives Africans in your communities that's a start, books are great but I discovered growing in Zimbabwe that some of our history books were Eurocentric they didn't cover the whole story mainly focusing on the 'savagery' of a people and tearing down what made their fabrics of society aka propaganda so if you travel museums and local excursions and people are also a good source and yea villages still exist in most parts of Africa and I'm sure there are custodians of societies who always have information passed on from generation to generation which you may not come across in books. Thanks again for video, I like this analogy 🙄
I applaud you my young Brother ! You are the exception to the stereotype that has been levied on our young Black Men today. Keep sharing the knowledge with your people, and you will be Blessed, in more ways then you can imagine.
I freaking love these videos! Please keep droppin' knowledge on the Motherland, it is much appreciated! I also need to go ahead and start supporting the HomeTeam 😅
Wow, Wow ,Wow thanks dude. Black panther uses a Zulu phrase "AMANDLA",which means "POWER" or "BLACK POWER" when he attacks!!! Thought I should share this.
The more I read the more I start to realize that the only reasons the Europeans enslaved us was not because they were stronger militarily but because we started fighting amongst ourselves.
+Joe Parrigen All cultures fight among themselves. There was no reason for Africans to be united just because they share the same continent. Just looked what the Vikings did to their fellow Scandinavians, look at what the British did to the Irish, looked at what East Europeans are doing to their own, rampant sex slavery (selling their own daughters for some cash) and the worse, look at WWI and WWII where Europeans slaughtered more than 100 million people of their own! And let's not even talk about the Asians countries where Mao wiped out 1/3 of his own people!! Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Japan, Iraq, Iran, these people combined have murdered more people in Asian than any place on earth! Humans by nature are evil. If other cultures and societies couldn't live amongst each other what makes you think Africans who don't even speak the same languages, should have united as one? Hell, we don't even look like each other. There was no Pan-Africansim, just like there was no Pan-Europeansim, and no Pan-Asiansim. These are recent concepts, that should never be imposed on ancient people, who were well aware of their difference.
Good points though I have to disagree with you on humans being naturally evil. Though I think some are due to being born psychotic I think the enviornment has to due with how a person turns out. And yes, you are right Europeans have been slaughtering each other for centuries but when it's time to unite they are all one. This is how they have been able to conquer Africa, and instill white supremacy. In the modern era if you are from Europe or you are on our side. Through that unfication they have been able to dominate the world. If people of African did the same when they started to take over Africa perhaps things would not have turned out the way they have.
+Joe Parrigen I think the main difference between Europe and Asia or Africa is that 1: Europe is smaller so it was easier for one group of people to dominate (Romans) 2: Because of size the Romans virtually built the infrastructure of Northern Europe and instilled their ideological and cultural "baggage" unto Northern Europeans. Thus Northern Europeans became mobilized into "warring/conquering culture". In Asia and Africa this did not happen mostly because they are way more diverse and a lot bigger (harder to mobilize). Example, the Chinese largely stuck to themselves and the Mongols, though conquerors, were very tolerant of other religions and allowed self rule mostly. In Africa, Egyptians or Nubians largely fought each other and didn't even touch the rest of Africa militarily so as to instill the Nile Valley culture and worldview even though they very clearly had the capacity to do so.
Very interesting I hadn't thought about Europe or Asia I wonder what would have happened if the Egyptians had a thirst for conquest such as the Romans what would Africa look like today?.
I'm loving your channel. I'm sad to say I know very little about African history but I'm finding this fascinating and you tell the stories really well.
I appreciate you brother. Always knew that every major Marvel comic had a relative back story to real life events, but this would never surface with your help.
Hey man, I just wanted to say I've been lookin for a good source of african history for a while now and im real glad I found your channel. You've got some real interesting stuff on here Sincerely, a white boy straight outta Utah!
+HomeTeam History Your vid on 5 Things you need to know before watching Black Panther, was the first vid I've watched from you. Been down with this channel ever since. much love.
This brother is just so intelligent I am so proud to see our young black people like this it's it just makes me feel more positive than the negativity that I see sometime I definitely give him a thumbs up
I think there is truth to this. But I feel like Wakanda is more directly associated with Uganda and the Baganda people. Not only is the name a direct lift, in my opinion, but according to the Marvel website, Wakanda is between Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and DRC. Which is Uganda. Also Uganda is named after the Baganda people which is similar to Wakanda and it's people who are the Wakandans. Named after the Baganda people. Uganda is a great country that is mineral and food rich. Landlocked and has a long heritage of great uniting leaders. Although, pick any African country and there are a million reasons it could be Wakanda. I am from Kenya btw. We can't wait for Black Panther here in my country. Great job with the vids.
It seems you come from Uganda. Anyway, it's only the Munhumutapa who was headquartered at Great Zimbabwe, who ruled beyond Zimbabwe. He ruled Africa. Zimbabwe is the capital state of Africa, by destiny. This won't change. The Western system knows this secret that's why they have concentrated more on Zimbabwe more than other countries or States. But they also know that time will come when the Kingdom of Zimbabwe/Munhumutapa is restored. This is the true Kingdom of God. Africans are the true Israelites.
I have seen some of your videos and I must say that it's such and delightful thing to watch and learn from such a rich continent, you good sir have my like and subscription
This is very interesting to hear because after watching this video being zimbabwean I decided to ask my family of our history and it turns out in defended from the rozvi Warriors. So I just wanna say thank you for helping me find out a more about myself and my culture God bless
You need to touch more on King Solomon mines in Zimbabwe. There is so much history about Zimbabwe the world needs to know. Mutapa with the Biblical land of Ophir and King Solomon's Mines, even the Annunakis will tell you about Zimbabwe
I guess i should add a little more. I respect what your channel does. It's always good to be educated, and have pride in where you're from, and your channel offers this possibility.
My brother. Thank you for your you. Your love of African history and the your willingness to share it with us is more magnificent than words can describe. I have a request if that is ok. Can you do a segment on African Kingdoms that did not convert to Christianity and Islam and as well as those who did not participate in trading African slaves? I and so many others would greatly appreciate it brother. Thank you again for all that you do great one.
There is a show and books created by a Nigerian called Bino and Fino. it teaches about african culture and history etc. you csn order their books and they also have it on RUclips.
There seems to be a connection between the Rozvi and Egypt. The main name of the Rozvi is Moyo, and their praise names are dewa and sai. Both praise names are egyptian words centered around divinity...and the rozvi mambos were worshiped as gods ....the final name the moyo's share is Gono, which reffers to a Bull. The egyptian name for a bull is spelt "Gn" as they never used vowels in their words...what do you think?
That's really interesting I have always thought that Zimbabweans mutupo is something that they brought from Egypt as they were ways to signify who they were as we do in Zimbabwe today.
You are very correct because we had a written language that wasn't spoken and when you go deep into your shona words you can find you can write without vowels. My great grandmother told me that the westerners came and made drawings of how they had built in stone and copied the standard and style. They down play the distruction of the Rozvi empire because even the rise of Shaka Zulu was out of the need to fight of the Dutch we the Rozvi people had been destroyed by internal power struggles and the Portuguese efforts who where then joined by the British. Millions were murdered in trying to resist to the point where Zimbabwe was colonised only for 99 years the fighting spirit of the people was taken out from them try as they did the settlers. The war is still on for total freedom economic and political.
Thank you for the reply I really needed that I hope you share more of this knowledge to me if you know more. My mother is from masvingo, mutupo is shumba charumbire.
I would have added that in the Marvel Universe Wakanda is also portrayed as pretty isolationist and downright xenophobic. And that is not a recent element (or maybe it is now, since who knows when Marvel editors retcon continuity again), but was portrayed quite strongly in the story of the young Wakandan mutant Nezhno (aka "Gentle") whose own mother in fact didn't want him back and considered him nothing more than an Outsider due to his Russian father.In addition the panther god that they have is actually the Egyptian goddess Bast; two other Egyptian deities they have are Sekhmet and Sobek. No idea why.
I in African culture tradition this brother narrating his video would hold high high-status he would be consider a term used in Africa called griot. The role of the griot is the official person in the African tribe who kept track of the history who taught the other African people in the tribe about their tradition and culture which is a very meaningful and special part of what defines the tried and make them Unique Individuals on the planet we share. I salute this brother because in my book this brother is royalty.
From 1692 until 1694, Mwenemutapa Nyakambira rules Mutapa independently. Nyakambira was later killed in battle with the Portuguese who then placed Nyamaende Mhande on the throne as their puppet.Upon his death in 1740, the young Dehwe Mapunzagutu took power. He sought Portuguese support and invited them back to Mutapa along with their garrison of armed men, but Mutapa remained independent.The "winners" ended up governing an even more reduced land from Chidima. They used the title Mambo a Chidima and ruled independently of Portugal until 1917 when Mambo Chioko, the last king of the dynasty, was killed in battle against the Portuguese.The belief that the mines were inside the Mwenemutapa kingdom in southern Africa was one of the factors that led to the Portuguese exploration of the hinterland of Sofala in the 16th century, and this contributed to early development of Mozambique, as the legend was widely used among the less educated populace to recruit colonists. All of this was hastened by Portugal retaining a presence on the coast and in the capital.In 1629 the mwenemutapa attempted to throw out the Portuguese. He failed and was overthrown, leading to the Portuguese installation of Mavura Mhande Felipe on the throne.Mutapa signed treaties making it a Portuguese vassal and ceding gold mines.All the while, Portugal increased control over much of southeast Africa with the beginnings of a colonial system.It appears neither the Rozwi nor the Portuguese could maintain control of the Mutapa state for very long, and it moved back and forth between the two throughout the 17th century. Far from a victim of conquest, the Mutapa rulers actually invited in foreign powers to bolster their rule. This included vassalage to Portuguese East Africa from 1629 to 1663 and vassalage to the Rozwi Empire from 1663 until the Portuguese return in 1694. To this day countries such as Angola And Mozambique Still use Portuguese as their officual language. Collapse
Makanda kikongo word dealing with race/ community (wakanda) depending on content you use the word in. Wa/ma is prefix . So wakanda isn't place but a people or community . Wa-kanda deformation of word makanda or makandala (makandala =instructor of spiritual priest, spiritual sciencist and spiritual politicians) makandala is title of bukongo spiritual tradition way life of bakongo people . Also today you have spiritual leader of bundu dia kongo who is ne muanda nsemi holds the title of makandala who is also divine king also know as nkua tulendo. So black panther = wakanda is about race and messenger of black race and divine king . Also black kingdom of kongo dia ntotela
Very cool vid! You were ahead of all the hype and very perceptive. Stan Lee wrote Black Panther in 60s and that was at a time when globally Rhodesia/Zimbabwe was center stage for the Organization of African Unity and more. I hope you will research Zim more because Zimbabwe's history the Mutapa and Rozvi go further than the 15th century. Zim goes back over 3000 years. The Mwenemutapa (plural of Mhunu Mutapa) were the sons of King Solomon who controlled the military and the gold mines. That's why the Europeans called "Monomotapa" the Eldorado of the ancient world. Eldorado the legendary city of gold. The "Monomotapa" Empire was reputed to have the best gold in the world...that's what got the British to invade in 1891. The Mwenemutapa kings not only controlled the gold in the South but also the gold of Nubia/Egypt. The British archaeologists who looted Great Zimbabwe did an inventory and they found a cartouche of King Tutmoses 3 of Egypts 18th Dynasty. Also it was King Pepi Meryre (Hebrew Merari, modern day Shona Mawire) who was one of the first rulers to invest in the mines of the gold. The best non European sources are Arabic, Ethiopic and Indian writings on the Empire that show its ancient roots. Most of the British writers attributed the archaeology to the Ethiopian kingdom of Axum and Himyarite Empire of Yemen. That's where most people and the Brits didn't correct it that the Asian people in Yemen today were there thousands of years ago. Yemen was ruled by Ethiopia for much of its history and was home to many ancient black civilizations including the ancestors of the Shona. What's interesting is that most Zimbabweans don't even know the Ethiopian kings from the Solomonic kings of Ethiopia who had the title of Mhunu Mutapa. The destruction of the Mwenemutapa Kings was actually due to the Islamic wars in East Africa. "Monomotapa" had the largest standing military in Africa...and backed up Ethiopia in the East. When Ethiopia in the East was being attacked, military was mobilized to fight and it left Great Zim vulnerable. Ethiopian Negus/Emperor Fasiladas is actually the Mhunu Mutapa king that the French painted quite alot. One of the last....really the last strong military king. Then Negus/Emperor Yohanes and the lastly Negus Iyasu. Emperor Fasiladas built Ethiopias long time capital Gondar as a modern update of Great Zimbabwe. Also don't forget that the Portuguese many of them had roots in East Africa and the Middle East. They were ruled by the Moors...and the Moors came from East Africa and Middle East and a substantial population settled in Spain and Portugal. Thanks for a great vid!
Amazing video aboit my favorite Marvel character, & really interesting!It's a shame that what is taught about history is sometimes only focused on the country/continent you live in (I've experienced it here in Germany) when there's also so much more! Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
Your videos are always so informative, and I'm so happy you're talking about my country! I must disagree on the Cowhorn formation bit because Mzilikazi's (Zulu military commander) small Khumalo clan was able to take over much of Southern Zimbabwe. If the Shona used those strategies first, why were so many of them easily taken over by the Zulu (now known as the Ndebele tribe in Zimbabwe)?
The cow horn formation was first developed by the Rozvi as has been written about in Portuguese records. It may sound odd but in a way even Shaka paid tribute to the Rozvi, or at least a Rozvi faction. The Lobedu. Tshaka used to come there to pay tribute for help in determining seasons from the rain queen Modjadgi. The Lobedu call themselves Lotswi (rozvi) and their praise names are Dewa and Sai, just like the Rozvi and they also call themselves the people of thovela while the Rozvi call themselves the people of thobera.
@@tofaramoyo2955 True brother Tofara,your history is on point.I'm of the Lobedu people's from haModjadji.Some of the physical tributes Tshaka brought to the Queendom are the at the capital called Khithangoni (khitlhakoni).Mzilikasi could not take on the Queen and many displaced people's sought refuge from her Queendom,some were Tsongas who were fleeing attacks from Zwide and Soshangane.Legend has it that Zwide tried to challenge the Queen and he was struck with lightning and he died!
When the ndebele came the empire was already falling apart due to civil wars and droughts that killed crops and cows leading to various uprising basically the ndebele where fighting a wounded animal
You spoke 5/7 on the Tsuba people saying they mined a stone. I thought you said Obsidian a precious Black stone that is valuable. Cannot find that video today, but I love your brief historical lessons on all these cultures not just lumping eveyone together as black, giving them their true names. Thank you again.
Mayans went to Africa 10,000 yrs ago and created the Mayan Ethiopian and Maya people of Africa look it up Africa was in inhabited at that time 💯 give us our crowns back and put respect on our name 💯
Thumps up I'm also from that lineage becoz I'm wamambo meaning in-law if the king my ancestor came from swaziland and married a rozvi princess and the king gave my ancestors land which is known as kwaZimuto to this present day
I read an article on how the X-Men were a reflection of the civil rights movement and the conflict of what actions should we talk. Idk maybe it could be your next project.
Not all attempts failed "miserably". Dr Doom was close but ultimately failed do to Tchalla doing the unimaginable by destroying all the vibranium in Wakanda.

Yazzzzz M Zimbabwean Zimbabwean myself thank you fo the video so accurate it hurts ❤❤❤
I think there is truth to this. But I feel like Wakanda is more directly associated with Uganda and the Baganda people. Not only is the name a direct lift, in my opinion, but according to the Marvel website, Wakanda is between Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and DRC. Which is Uganda. Also Uganda is named after the Baganda people which is similar to Wakanda and it's people who are the Wakandans. Named after the Baganda people. Uganda is a great country that is mineral and food rich. Landlocked and has a long heritage of great uniting leaders.
Although, pick any African country and there are a million reasons it could be Wakanda. I am from Kenya btw. We can't wait for Black Panther here in my country. Great job with the vids.
Over the years Wakanda have change the locations in Africa
Wakanda means throw in Shona (language spoken in Zimbabwe)
It seems you come from Uganda. Anyway, it's only the Munhumutapa who was headquartered at Great Zimbabwe, who ruled beyond Zimbabwe. He ruled Africa. Zimbabwe is the capital state of Africa, by destiny. This won't change. The Western system knows this secret that's why they have concentrated more on Zimbabwe more than other countries or States. But they also know that time will come when the Kingdom of Zimbabwe/Munhumutapa is restored. This is the true Kingdom of God. Africans are the true Israelites.
Hey you should do a segment on Yasuki the first African Samurai.
I have seen some of your videos and I must say that it's such and delightful thing to watch and learn from such a rich continent, you good sir have my like and subscription
I think you are a cool, intelligent person. Just my opinion.
This is very interesting to hear because after watching this video being zimbabwean I decided to ask my family of our history and it turns out in defended from the rozvi Warriors. So I just wanna say thank you for helping me find out a more about myself and my culture God bless

You need to touch more on King Solomon mines in Zimbabwe. There is so much history about Zimbabwe the world needs to know. Mutapa with the Biblical land of Ophir and King Solomon's Mines, even the Annunakis will tell you about Zimbabwe
Divide and conquer very effective, they still use it today in Africa and beyond.
Thanks for sharing this brother. Empowering
Obrigado, por mostrar aos outros a história do meu país. 🇲🇿
Alguém que fala português.
😊😊😊😊
Em Moçambique vcs estudam História da África na Secundária?!
I guess i should add a little more. I respect what your channel does. It's always good to be educated, and have pride in where you're from, and your channel offers this possibility.
Thanks for the video, I just wrote up a brief history of the kingdom of Mutapa for an independent study.
My brother. Thank you for your you. Your love of African history and the your willingness to share it with us is more magnificent than words can describe. I have a request if that is ok. Can you do a segment on African Kingdoms that did not convert to Christianity and Islam and as well as those who did not participate in trading African slaves? I and so many others would greatly appreciate it brother. Thank you again for all that you do great one.
yo bro, I need children's books on ancient african cultures. any ideas??
Every child should be shown the book called 'Things They Didn't Teach You In History Class'. You can search for it on Amazon.
The Leopard Princess - www.amazon.ca/Leopard-Princess-Wonderful-Somali-Nights/dp/0993073301
There is a show and books created by a Nigerian called Bino and Fino. it teaches about african culture and history etc. you csn order their books and they also have it on RUclips.
Maurice Henderson
what culture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@cinakakar197 africa have culture,u just dont know about it hahahahahaahha
Brother you are superb at what you do. Peace
There seems to be a connection between the Rozvi and Egypt. The main name of the Rozvi is Moyo, and their praise names are dewa and sai. Both praise names are egyptian words centered around divinity...and the rozvi mambos were worshiped as gods ....the final name the moyo's share is Gono, which reffers to a Bull. The egyptian name for a bull is spelt "Gn" as they never used vowels in their words...what do you think?
That's really interesting I have always thought that Zimbabweans mutupo is something that they brought from Egypt as they were ways to signify who they were as we do in Zimbabwe today.
You are very correct because we had a written language that wasn't spoken and when you go deep into your shona words you can find you can write without vowels. My great grandmother told me that the westerners came and made drawings of how they had built in stone and copied the standard and style. They down play the distruction of the Rozvi empire because even the rise of Shaka Zulu was out of the need to fight of the Dutch we the Rozvi people had been destroyed by internal power struggles and the Portuguese efforts who where then joined by the British. Millions were murdered in trying to resist to the point where Zimbabwe was colonised only for 99 years the fighting spirit of the people was taken out from them try as they did the settlers. The war is still on for total freedom economic and political.
Thank you for the reply I really needed that I hope you share more of this knowledge to me if you know more. My mother is from masvingo, mutupo is shumba charumbire.
peace ma fellow Zimbabwean brothers much love from sango ndi mambo in UK
ndino yera mbizi tembo, samaita mazvimbakupa
I would have added that in the Marvel Universe Wakanda is also portrayed as pretty isolationist and downright xenophobic. And that is not a recent element (or maybe it is now, since who knows when Marvel editors retcon continuity again), but was portrayed quite strongly in the story of the young Wakandan mutant Nezhno (aka "Gentle") whose own mother in fact didn't want him back and considered him nothing more than an Outsider due to his Russian father.In addition the panther god that they have is actually the Egyptian goddess Bast; two other Egyptian deities they have are Sekhmet and Sobek. No idea why.
Before your time....I think not. WAKANDA FOREVER brother. The movie was lit.🙌🏾
@HomeTeamHistory where can I find the African song you played at beginning? I love this Channel
You may be the most important creator on this site.
Home Team. Will you please create a video about the ancient Ghana and Chad people. Thank you for all you do to bring our history to light.
So true brother from a fellow Zimbabwe..
Excellent....thanks so much for this; Wakanda!
I watched this and found out that Ta-Nehisi Coates is writing the new comic. Mannnnnn!!!!! I'm too excited!
wakanda means thrown in shona and is linked to how the vibranium asteroid was thrown to the Mutapans
I in African culture tradition this brother narrating his video would hold high high-status he would be consider a term used in Africa called griot. The role of the griot is the official person in the African tribe who kept track of the history who taught the other African people in the tribe about their tradition and culture which is a very meaningful and special part of what defines the tried and make them Unique Individuals on the planet we share. I salute this brother because in my book this brother is royalty.
This is beautiful! ✊🏾💪🏾
Zim my home. Thanks for honoring!
From 1692 until 1694, Mwenemutapa Nyakambira rules Mutapa independently. Nyakambira was later killed in battle with the Portuguese who then placed Nyamaende Mhande on the throne as their puppet.Upon his death in 1740, the young Dehwe Mapunzagutu took power. He sought Portuguese support and invited them back to Mutapa along with their garrison of armed men, but Mutapa remained independent.The "winners" ended up governing an even more reduced land from Chidima. They used the title Mambo a Chidima and ruled independently of Portugal until 1917 when Mambo Chioko, the last king of the dynasty, was killed in battle against the Portuguese.The belief that the mines were inside the Mwenemutapa kingdom in southern Africa was one of the factors that led to the Portuguese exploration of the hinterland of Sofala in the 16th century, and this contributed to early development of Mozambique, as the legend was widely used among the less educated populace to recruit colonists.
All of this was hastened by Portugal retaining a presence on the coast and in the capital.In 1629 the mwenemutapa attempted to throw out the Portuguese. He failed and was overthrown, leading to the Portuguese installation of Mavura Mhande Felipe on the throne.Mutapa signed treaties making it a Portuguese vassal and ceding gold mines.All the while, Portugal increased control over much of southeast Africa with the beginnings of a colonial system.It appears neither the Rozwi nor the Portuguese could maintain control of the Mutapa state for very long, and it moved back and forth between the two throughout the 17th century. Far from a victim of conquest, the Mutapa rulers actually invited in foreign powers to bolster their rule. This included vassalage to Portuguese East Africa from 1629 to 1663 and vassalage to the Rozwi Empire from 1663 until the Portuguese return in 1694. To this day countries such as Angola And Mozambique Still use Portuguese as their officual language.

Makanda kikongo word dealing with race/ community (wakanda) depending on content you use the word in.
Wa/ma is prefix . So wakanda isn't place but a people or community .
Wa-kanda deformation of word makanda or makandala (makandala =instructor of spiritual priest, spiritual sciencist and spiritual politicians) makandala is title of bukongo spiritual tradition way life of bakongo people .
Also today you have spiritual leader of bundu dia kongo who is ne muanda nsemi holds the title of makandala who is also divine king also know as nkua tulendo.
So black panther = wakanda is about race and messenger of black race and divine king .
Also black kingdom of kongo dia ntotela
Wakanda means throw in Shona (language from Zimbabwe)
Good info!!!!!
Very cool vid! You were ahead of all the hype and very perceptive. Stan Lee wrote Black Panther in 60s and that was at a time when globally Rhodesia/Zimbabwe was center stage for the Organization of African Unity and more. I hope you will research Zim more because Zimbabwe's history the Mutapa and Rozvi go further than the 15th century. Zim goes back over 3000 years. The Mwenemutapa (plural of Mhunu Mutapa) were the sons of King Solomon who controlled the military and the gold mines. That's why the Europeans called "Monomotapa" the Eldorado of the ancient world. Eldorado the legendary city of gold. The "Monomotapa" Empire was reputed to have the best gold in the world...that's what got the British to invade in 1891. The Mwenemutapa kings not only controlled the gold in the South but also the gold of Nubia/Egypt. The British archaeologists who looted Great Zimbabwe did an inventory and they found a cartouche of King Tutmoses 3 of Egypts 18th Dynasty. Also it was King Pepi Meryre (Hebrew Merari, modern day Shona Mawire) who was one of the first rulers to invest in the mines of the gold. The best non European sources are Arabic, Ethiopic and Indian writings on the Empire that show its ancient roots. Most of the British writers attributed the archaeology to the Ethiopian kingdom of Axum and Himyarite Empire of Yemen. That's where most people and the Brits didn't correct it that the Asian people in Yemen today were there thousands of years ago. Yemen was ruled by Ethiopia for much of its history and was home to many ancient black civilizations including the ancestors of the Shona. What's interesting is that most Zimbabweans don't even know the Ethiopian kings from the Solomonic kings of Ethiopia who had the title of Mhunu Mutapa. The destruction of the Mwenemutapa Kings was actually due to the Islamic wars in East Africa. "Monomotapa" had the largest standing military in Africa...and backed up Ethiopia in the East. When Ethiopia in the East was being attacked, military was mobilized to fight and it left Great Zim vulnerable. Ethiopian Negus/Emperor Fasiladas is actually the Mhunu Mutapa king that the French painted quite alot. One of the last....really the last strong military king. Then Negus/Emperor Yohanes and the lastly Negus Iyasu. Emperor Fasiladas built Ethiopias long time capital Gondar as a modern update of Great Zimbabwe. Also don't forget that the Portuguese many of them had roots in East Africa and the Middle East. They were ruled by the Moors...and the Moors came from East Africa and Middle East and a substantial population settled in Spain and Portugal. Thanks for a great vid!
zajigirl what a load of garbage.
great info!!!! Thank you
Amazing video aboit my favorite Marvel character, & really interesting!It's a shame that what is taught about history is sometimes only focused on the country/continent you live in (I've experienced it here in Germany) when there's also so much more! Thanks for spreading the knowledge!
I am a Rozvi and today my Grandfather's farm is an hour's drive from Great Zimbabwe Ruins.
Proudly Zimbabwean 🇿🇼
Your videos are always so informative, and I'm so happy you're talking about my country! I must disagree on the Cowhorn formation bit because Mzilikazi's (Zulu military commander) small Khumalo clan was able to take over much of Southern Zimbabwe. If the Shona used those strategies first, why were so many of them easily taken over by the Zulu (now known as the Ndebele tribe in Zimbabwe)?
The cow horn formation was first developed by the Rozvi as has been written about in Portuguese records. It may sound odd but in a way even Shaka paid tribute to the Rozvi, or at least a Rozvi faction. The Lobedu. Tshaka used to come there to pay tribute for help in determining seasons from the rain queen Modjadgi. The Lobedu call themselves Lotswi (rozvi) and their praise names are Dewa and Sai, just like the Rozvi and they also call themselves the people of thovela while the Rozvi call themselves the people of thobera.
@@tofaramoyo2955 True brother Tofara,your history is on point.I'm of the Lobedu people's from haModjadji.Some of the physical tributes Tshaka brought to the Queendom are the at the capital called Khithangoni (khitlhakoni).Mzilikasi could not take on the Queen and many displaced people's sought refuge from her Queendom,some were Tsongas who were fleeing attacks from Zwide and Soshangane.Legend has it that Zwide tried to challenge the Queen and he was struck with lightning and he died!
When the ndebele came the empire was already falling apart due to civil wars and droughts that killed crops and cows leading to various uprising basically the ndebele where fighting a wounded animal
What's up Home Team, where are you hommie??? We missing that knowledge you be dropping!
I am from the Rozvi tribe.....my grandfather's home is a few miles away from the Great Zimbabwe
WAKANDA FOREVER 🌍
I can't believe you researched about this!
You spoke 5/7 on the Tsuba people saying they mined a stone. I thought you said Obsidian a precious Black stone that is valuable. Cannot find that video today, but I love your brief historical lessons on all these cultures not just lumping eveyone together as black, giving them their true names. Thank you again.
Much Respect Brotha!
Who’s watching this after seeing the black panther trailer 2018
Awesome video brother
Again what is the name of your intro sound it's so powerful.
Good stuff!
The kingdom of kongo is a worthy candidate aswell
I have been educated. Thank you.
Great job Brother
Mayans went to Africa 10,000 yrs ago and created the Mayan Ethiopian and Maya people of Africa look it up Africa was in inhabited at that time 💯 give us our crowns back and put respect on our name 💯
Thumps up I'm also from that lineage becoz I'm wamambo meaning in-law if the king my ancestor came from swaziland and married a rozvi princess and the king gave my ancestors land which is known as kwaZimuto to this present day
I am proud to be Zimbabwean
I read an article on how the X-Men were a reflection of the civil rights movement and the conflict of what actions should we talk. Idk maybe it could be your next project.
Not all attempts failed "miserably". Dr Doom was close but ultimately failed do to Tchalla doing the unimaginable by destroying all the vibranium in Wakanda.
+Aquariuskudo I'd say coming close only to completely lose out due to the complete expulsion of a desired resource is pretty miserable.
HomeTeam History Lose lose for both guys really. Wakanda still great tho!
usernamedkjah I know that but, I'm just acknowledging how BP would save his nation by any means.
Great video. an accurate account of the History.
