I've always been fascinated by ancient African civilizations, and this video does a great job of highlighting the empire's rich history and legacy. I'm also a big fan of your channel's focus on history, so I'll be sure to check out more of your videos. Keep up the great work!
I studied at the University of Ghana in Accra. It is a beautiful place and the people are wonderful. They don’t have a lot of money, but they live well, have supportive families. I am white and have the greatest respect for African culture.
Not your story it's the Soninke story I have a direct lineage to dingha Sisse his son Dyabi Sisse started my lineage Diaby Gassama the jahanke. Know your history dude
The Ghana Empire (Arabic: غانا), also known as simply Ghana,[1] Ghanata, or Wagadou, was a West African classical to post-classical era western-Sahelian empire based in the modern-day southeast of Mauritania and western Mali.
Ancient Ghana occupies parts of today's Mauritania, Mali, and Senegal. I mean, if you see how tall the Senegalese are and how short Akans tend to be, you can clearly see that the two peoples are not related.
Not according to the video and a study on the Ghana empire, according to this video and other research on it, the ancient Ghana is modern day Mauritania and Mail. The people in that present day region say modern day Ghana (Gold Coast) has nothing to do with them. History is truly fascinating.

@Daraa727 I see an attempt by you to rewrite history in order to falsely associate the Akans (of Ghana and Ivory Coast) with the ancient greatness of the Ghana Empire. No reliable historical source, has ever linked Akans to the Ghana Empire

The country Ghana was named after the empire of Ancient Soninke empire. People from the country Ghana in west Africa got nothing to do with The original Ghana empire . .country Ghana 🇬🇭 bordered by ivory Coast..Togo and so ..AKAN people...Ancient Ghana empire located in Mauritania..senegal and so ..Soninke people ...😊
“Akan” a name picked up in the 15th century. First president of Ghana said the inhabitants of this present day Ghana are a direct descendants of ancient Ghana empire..
Ghana Empire Muslim district. It was inhabited almost entirely by Muslims, who had with twelve mosques, one of which was designated for Friday prayers, and had a full group of scholars, scribes and Islamic jurists. Because the majority of these Muslims were merchants, this part of the city was probably its primary business district. It is likely that these inhabitants were largely black Muslims known as the Wangara and are today known as Jakhanke or Mandinka. The separate and autonomous towns outside of the main governmental center is a well-known practice used by the Jakhanke tribe of the Mandinka people throughout history. wikipedia
Jakhanke The Jakhanke -- also spelled Jahanka, Jahanke, Jahanque, Jahonque, Diakkanke, Diakhanga, Diakhango, Dyakanke, Diakhanké, Diakanké, or Diakhankesare -- are a Manding-speaking ethnic group in the Senegambia region, often classified as a subgroup of the larger Soninke. The Jakhanke have historically constituted a specialized caste of professional Muslim clerics (ulema) and educators. They are centered on one larger group in Guinea, with smaller populations in the eastern region of The Gambia, Senegal, and in Mali near the Guinean border. Although generally considered a branch of the Soninke (also known as Serahule, Serakhulle or Sarakollé), their language is closer to Western Manding languages such as Mandinka.
Note- Mandinka have sub -groups called Mandinka/Mandenka and Maninka (also known as Malinke). Mande languages The Mande languages (Mandén, Manding; [needs IPA]) are a group of languages spoken in several countries in West Africa by the Mandé peoples. They include Maninka (Malinke), Mandinka, Soninke, Bambara, Kpelle, Jula (Dioula), Bozo, Mende, Susu, and Vai.
Maninka (also known as Malinke), or more precisely Eastern Maninka, is the name of several closely related languages and dialects of the southeastern Manding subgroup of the Mande language family (itself, possibly linked to the Niger-Congo phylum). It is the mother tongue of the Malinké people in Guinea, where it is spoken by 3.1 million people and is the main language in the Upper Guinea region, and in Mali, where the closely related Bambara is a national language, as well as in Liberia, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast, where it has no official status. It was the language of court and government during the Mali Empire.
Mandinka language The Mandinka language (Mandi'nka kango; Ajami: مَانْدِينْكَا كَانْجَوْ), or Mandingo, is a Mande language spoken by the Mandinka people of Guinea, northern Guinea-Bissau, the Casamance region of Senegal, and in The Gambia where it is one of the principal languages. Mandinka belongs to the Manding branch of Mande and is similar to Bambara and Maninka/Malinké but with only 5 instead of 7 vowels. The variety spoken in The Gambia and Senegal borders on a pitch accent due to its proximity with non-tonal neighboring languages like Wolof.
The Ceesay’s were the rulers, The kantes were the goldsmith’s, The Camara’s were the hunters, The Touray’s, Jannehs, Kumas, Berentes we’re the farmers and fishermens.

@@AkaniBenZaAlYaman the country Ghana stands the major ethnic groups which are Guans, Hausa, Akans, North or Nzema, and alata or akraa. the gana empire on the other hand was an empire whose king was refer to as gana. so it's not the same.
have you now deviated from the topic that Ghana and gana is not the same and that this country Ghana represent the major ethnic groups in the country contrary to the claim that it was named after the empire Gana. they sound the same but have no connection in the naming.
@@AkaniBenZaAlYaman again the people who came with the name Ghana didn't read Arabic. this is how you distort history. the moment thr founders die then people try to create their own meaning into things they have no knowledge about.
@@AkanBenZaAlYaman why write in a language i do not understand? is it to show how educated you are or to show how unintelligent you're? bcos i write in a language that you understand so we can communicate effectively.
