I recommend this book written by Samira Benturki Saidi retraces this little-known histoire. I don't know if the book exists in English language albayyinah.fr/biographies-histoires/1629-l-identite-arabo-islamique-de-peuples-et-tribus-indiennes-d-amerique.html
This boock is realy intersting but have a lot of mistakes. (But it's the only in this subject so it's still intersting, and no this boock is only in french).
I just read a lot, everbody can do the same (so can start with the english version of wikipedia to have a good general view on a subject for example) and there is a lot of video related on history on youtube so it's easy also for people that don't love read to learn history or anything else. And yes I'm from Algeria. 😁
People who are in charge of the curriculum taught in schools are hiding the fact that Muslims were in power for a long time. Not only that but they also make it seem as if they were in power all the time (the west). They disregard Muslim history or any other history and focus on all the good the west did (as little as it is) and never mention the bad that they did.
Not only was Columbus not the first person to go to America but he wasn’t even the first person from the old world to go to America. Schools really need to teach more
I'm from the Sahara desert and in the part I'm from there was an old man who is an oral historian and he repeats stories that have been passed down in his family for hundreds of years and he told me that the King of Mali and the King of Morocco went across the Atlantic and when European merchants heard people speaking about it they then decided to go
That's kinda untrue (I'm Moroccan), the Europeans went to the Americas because Columbus thought India was that way, he didn't expect to bump into a new continent.
Amine Aourid..you must make time to go visit that old man and record some of the oral history from him, this is important . Very important. Think about it please
We be proud of Our African heritage brother Am Somali/Ethiopian. And Am truly prod of the Muslim Mughal Empire that was in present day india. And many more others that history has discarded because of politics
Mansa Musa already proved that African nation can become richest not even by wealth but also in rich culture and rich education system. Africa should look on its past, it has power to lead the world again... insha'Allah
I am an AfroArab from Palestine/Bahrain and my great grandmother was originally from Morocco/Mauritania and Mali. So proud of that west African heritage ❤️
@@Cedricbennettjr Yes Mauritania is known for slavery. It is estimated between Mauritania, Libya and a few other countries that 6 million slaves exist today. It's illegal by law in Mauritania but is not tried and is a socially accepted practice. You will be arrested there if you question why slavery is still being allowed to go on. The slavery is also generational as if you are born from a slave, then you are also a slave.
I'm African American, and according to my DNA analysis, I have quite a bit of ancestry from Mali. Knowing that people from the ancient kingdom of Mali may have stepped foot in the Americas long ago is bone chilling.
I'm no expert but you might be able to tell when that Mali DNA came into your ancestry. Certain genetic mutations are markers of different groups of people. Mutations associated with a Clan or tribe in Mali though might be unique to an era or pass through to recent or present times making it hard to tell when and how that mutation arrived in the West. But it may also be possible to date the point that your Mali genes came into your line of DNA other ways. I've never explored whats available through personal genetic testing but Africa is vastly under represented in complete genomes, but I have long been interested in human origins data which starts in Africa.
MALI today is different with old Mali U can´t know with DNA because ex: Me am an Soninke and my tribe are in Mali , Senegal ,Mauritania same with Mandinka they are in Senegal , Nord Ivory coast, Senegal ,Guinee ,Mali because all this countries were in Mandinka empire @Mali
@@freegalsen5556 You may be able to determine how much Soninke Mandinka is in you and when and where it became part of your DNA. The borders of every country don't trap or slow down DNA. DNA tells us that in Britain 4000 and again 9000 years ago the DNA in what is now Britain was virtually all replaced with DNA originating in what is now Central Russia. So what does it mean to be "British"? It means you probably speak English, you think about the King and parliment, eat fish and chips, whatever. But your DNA may be Russian, or you immigrated to what is now Britain sometime in the last 4000 years. Either way your DNA keeps a log of where your bits and pieces came from regardless of whether you feel like your English, Russian, Mali, China or someplace else. If you feel and act British, that's fine, but virtually no Brit is "British" if he thinks 200 generations back. He's likely Russian, but there was no Russia back then. So what is he really? Only DNA can set your "identity" over a long period of time. Not only that, but every Chinaman, Norwegian, or African etc...... shares a full 99% of human DNA anyway. We are vastly more generally human than we are a tribe, nationality, or ethnic group. But culturally people want to know their past even though most cultures (language, food, etc.) have changed radically over the last 5-10,000 years.
Yaqeen needs to stop compromising with the liberals for money.

As a Malian this is awesome to learn about. So much of our culture and history gets thrown under the rug because of European colonization and slavery. I wish more people would learn about this type of stuff.
Western society doesn't want you to know how powerful the Africans were and still are if they unite. Muslims were everywhere to help and build, but when the nonbelievers came in and saw money and became greedy to use and abuse resources and people that was the end of something great (and you still see it to this day, the US and other western countries exploiting and invading countries like Libya that wanted to make Africa safe, rich and stable again.
Black were not here first Indians were two different cultures.Indians as Apache crow Cherokee etc no relation to Muslim or blacks .stop the status quo bs show document s
@@darrelv764well I have read about it in a history book written by a US historian. They did set out but nobody knows whether they reached America. If they did they would have landed in south america as they were sailing forth from mali and they could not go upstream that far as to meet with the Apaches. 😅 also they did not go to conquer but to trade and they did not come back. Which means they were not that successful in their trading. If they even survived their encounter with the natives of America they certainly did not have a great impact on their culture. Still it s great that they had the courage and abilities to sail west.

This was a great video!!! Correction: Mansa Abubakar II was not Mansa Musa's brother. Abubakar II was Musa's maternal uncle. In the Ancient Mali Empire, succession into rulership was matrilineal.
no they were not shy ,if you watched this video , Musa told the story of his brother when he reached Makkah . In general , the thing is that Europeans did not like the fact that anybody would make such discovery before them , do a research and you'll find that there is a lot of monuments and mosaics (that have african and islamic history) have been found in brazil .

@@najdrahmani7225 Artifacts that are Islamic or African in nature HAVEN'T been found in the Americas as of yet. Unless you are referring to artifacts left from enslaved African Muslims(may Allah grant them Jannah) or modern Islamic buildings. And I am saying this as a Muslim. The biggest spreaders of such misinformation are Afro-centrists. And no, they aren't people who are simply shunned by White supremacists for speaking the truth. Not saying that the whitewashing of history never occurred but the Africanisms of foreign things aren't that easy to confirm. And plus, Afro-centrists spread false narratives even about things that are confirmed not having anything to do with them because it isn't a genuine scholarly movement.
Im from Ecuador, south America, land of the Quitus, Caras, Cañaris, Huancavilcas and Incas. I once went with my grandfather in a trip to a very special place called Esmeraldas which is inhabitated by almost exclusively black people. I was surprised by this and asked why our country has such place with black people since we are not black and he told me this legend his grandfather had told him; Blacks have been here always he said, they came a long time ago in great ships and were great man. They were tall, black as night and had strange weapons and powerful magic, they didn't attack our people but they taught us to build in their style and some other important lessons. They didn't want gold unlike the spaniards but they asked for corn. After a long time there were some problems with the shuaras and the puruaes and the black people had to retreat to the jungles deep heart where they sometimes were spotted by some of our people, however they were told not to fight or talk to them ( blacks ) but to run like hell since they were superior in war but they were too few to conquer us. They never left. I believe in my granpa because I've heard some more legends like this among the old.
The idea that a West African fleet, in the middle ages could set out on the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Americas is quite plausible. A century before Columbus, a Chinese fleet lead by Xheng He circumnavigated the world. The expedition was written in a book by Gavin Menzies. If Columbus was honest enough to document in his journal that the natives of south America had stated that "dark skinned men" had came to their land before white Europeans deserves a scholarly investigation. This will challenge the status quo and a big re-think on Africans during the middle ages.
List of People who made it to the Americas before Columbus: The Chinese Mali (Mansa Abubkr II) (bad at spelling) Leif Ericsson Templar Knights The Minoans
Y'all say Africans like they were the some singular group. They weren't. Same way that the British/French/Portuguese wouldn't give Columbus the funds to travel, yet Spain did. All white countries, all different cultures.
The Moors were great ship builders , the were the Masters of the Sea , they control the Mediterranean Sea . and Atlantic Ocean .

Muslims from Andalusia, Mali and Ottoman reached Americas and were trading 700 years before Columbus. The 2 captains Columbus hired to captain his ships were both Muslims and his maps were from Muslims.
Have you heard of the North African countries that took part of kidnappings of the white slaves right? Reports of Barbary raids and kidnappings of those in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, England, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, and as far north as Iceland exist from between the 16th to the 19th centuries. In 1785 when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, they asked him what right he had to take slaves in this way. North African pirate ship, According to observers of the late 1500s and early 1600s, there were around 35,000 European Christian slaves held throughout this time on the Barbary Coast - many in Tripoli, Tunis, and various Moroccan towns, but most of all in Algiers. www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/white_slaves_01.shtml Okay now read this bit to catch you up with where I'm going with this: In 1767 at age 24, Jefferson inherited 5,000 acres of land and the legal ownership of 52 people by his father's will. In 1768, Jefferson began construction of his Monticello plantation. Through his marriage to Martha Wayles in 1772 and inheritance from his father-in-law John Wayles, in 1773 Jefferson inherited two plantations and the legal ownership of 135 men, women and children who were to be kept as slaves. By 1776, Jefferson was one of the largest planters in Virginia. However, the value of his property (land and slaves) was increasingly offset by his growing debts, which made it very difficult to free the people he kept forced in to slavery, hence according to the operant financial laws of the time, lose them as "property" and hence financial assets. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_slavery Why is Thomas Jefferson coming to London to negotiate with Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman of stopping white slaves and not black slaves? This makes Thomas Jefferson the biggest hypocrite that ever lived, and that's me not getting into him fathering black slave children, the man is a walking contradiction.

A friend from Brazil, who is a student of History , told me that the name of Brazil has no meaning either in the local language or in Latin, and he said that this name came from the Algerian tribe of Bani Birzal ( in Arabic they say " Barazila " which means " Brazilians in plural"! , which was ruling in Algeria and then moved to Andalusia, and after the fall of their state in Qarmona In Spain, they immigrated to America
Nope it was named after the brazil tree: "The word "Brazil" likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology "red like an ember", formed from brasa ("ember") and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium). As brazilwood produces a deep red dye, it was highly valued by the European textile industry and was the earliest commercially exploited product from Brazil. Throughout the 16th century, massive amounts of brazilwood were harvested by indigenous peoples (mostly Tupi) along the Brazilian coast, who sold the timber to European traders (mostly Portuguese, but also French) in return for assorted European consumer goods. The official Portuguese name of the land, in original Portuguese records, was the "Land of the Holy Cross" (Terra da Santa Cruz), but European sailors and merchants commonly called it simply the "Land of Brazil" (Terra do Brasil) because of the brazilwood trade. The popular appellation eclipsed and eventually supplanted the official Portuguese name. Some early sailors called it the "Land of Parrots"."
@@003mohamud Thank you. I personally don't like this video. Like it's not impossible for Africans to have visited the Americas and academic historians are trying to find the merit of such narratives but as of yet, there isn't really any proof of Africans visiting the Americas. This narrative is either a bit of an exaggeration or really harmful.
Discovery of the Americas in order would be 1-The Natives when first settled 2-Lief Erikson and the Vikings 3-Mansa Musa and the Mali Empire 4-Christopher "Colonizer" Columbus
If someone would set 200 ships on the way to the americas then clearly some would arrive there and then there would be genetic evidence... or any other kind of evidence don't you think?

There were Africans in North America even before slavery. They always said that their existence was linked to slavery, some of whom were slaves and some of them were free.
I‘m pretty sure about that Columbus had propably muslim navigators And the reason why specialy the spanish founded his expedition Is a hint to that too They was the very nation which had the most interaction with muslim nations and was onced ruled by them So if the westafricans or northafricans had journeyed into the west and a european have had noticed that then it would have been spain or portugal And I‘m pretty sure in the biography of columbus‘ son about his father he did write that his father had two muslim navigators who was inprisoned by the spanish and he used them to find the route to the caribic
It’s been said that a guy called Ahmad alshubi he lived in kufa,Iraq and in his book he mentioned:there is a land behind Andalusia(Spain) that is as far a way from us to Andalusia
Yeah, the fact that multiple people found it before Columbus is highly glossed over. Mansi Musa, I don't think he was the first but he definitely did find it before Columbus.
Fall of the Muslim Spain was a turning point in history. Because that's why Columbus was able to discover Americas, colonialism and enslavement started from Portugal and Spain by Christians. After that we all know what happened!
@Keysar Efes The Spanish identity had not even formed then the Moore where in Spain. Once Spain was becoming a thing, they easily kicked out the Moore in the reconquista.
Our black brothers in America do not know that they've come from kings and noble tribes of Black Muslims West Africa, we Morrocan's and all Africans know that but black Americans don't know their ancestors, they don't care, unfortunately.
@@arberor4597 There is no myth. If you listened to the video it stated by the time Colombus got there the natives already had been trading Golden tip arrows that came far off from Africa and wore African like clothing. Even then Erik the red would be the first unless someone did it before Musa too.
@@1mnot4rrogant90 Erik wasn't the first at nothing, if he was nobody would give to shits about Columbus, you can create penicillin but if you don't use it for medicine it isn't penicillin. The same way if you land on a never seen rock but nobody knows about it until the rock is already well know by the rest of the globe, you didn't discovered it.
The whole Columbus story, although true, is a bit of a red herring as to who discovered America. It is not that far from Scandinavia to the Labrador coast. There is much archaeological evidence for sporadic Norse colonisation of much of the North American (now Canada) east Coast for over 500 years from the 9th century.
History records owners not renters. Meaning that when Columbus arrived he brought his culture. And it was here to stay. Unlike the Vikings,whose settlement of North America had failed. And as for this Muslim African explorer. It sound like he just visited. Seeing that the Indians there were backward compared to his culture.
A viking named Leif Erickson did go to North America almost 5 centuries before Colombus. Vikings even tried to colonize it so they could get all the wood there and make more ships. But their settlements weren't big and got destroyed by Native Americans so they stopped going there.
@Mr Fantastic I am being a King doesn't mean he was the richest in material wise, do you have any proof that the Qur'an or Sunnah says that Solomon (AS) was the richest?
Actually the first man eho discovered america was Leif Erikson, an Icelandic guy who sailed west 500 years before Colombus. And I think Abubakari II was the 2nd guy who discovered America.

The circumference of the earth had been closely estimated by the time of Columbus and the distance from Europe to Asia sailing west had also been roughly calculated. It was therefore known that no European ships of the time would be able to make the journey by sailing west due to limitations on how much supplies, food and fresh water could be carried. The existence of a large land mass or islands in the Atlantic ocean had been hinted at in legends and in stories of various civilizations and peoples for centuries (sometimes called Atlantia and sometimes conflated with Atlantis), tales of river - like currents or storms that drove ships out west with some returning with reports of strange lands, animals and peoples or tales of strange people, craft, animals, debris etc arriving off the coast of Africa, Europe England and around the Mediterranean on currents from the far Atlantic ocean. Besides the accounts of the Norsemen/Vikings there also existed legends and accounts from the Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, lrish, various Africans and Europeans of journeys to and from lands in the Atlantic. The existence of the circuitous "Trade Winds"/ currents heading to the far Atlantic and back was known for centuries before Columbus and cartographers and navigators had long deduced that such could not occur without the presence of a large land mass to the west. These were the very currents and winds Columbus used for all his voyages to and from the Americas. The Canary Islanders had shared with europeans their sightings of boats laden with men and supplies leaving the coasts of Africa and heading west. Columbus visited the Canaries on a couple occasions and could've heard those tales. In the 20th century Europeans made the journey to the Caribbean using the same type of reed boats made virtually unchanged for centuries by seamen on Lake Chad. Coincidentally almost the exact same type of boats were also made and used for centuries on lakes and on rivers in South America. Explorers after Columbus such as Balboa etc reported having actually encountered, traded with, fought against or been told of black African tribes in different parts of the Americas such as Central America. They knew what different African peoples looked like. While the stories of Columbus' voyages say that he was trying to reach the known spice sources of Asia his contracts with the Spanish monarchs were for his being granted governorship over NEW LANDS TO BE DISCOVERED and for a cut in proceeds from trade with these NEW LANDS. Also, while he was supposedly on a quest for a route to spices, his enquires whilst in the Americas were mostly after GOLD, not spices.
Thor heyerdahl 1947 Tiki Expedition he sailed from South America to some Island way out in the ocean with Reed boats that the ancient Egyptians made proving that it could be done even in ancient times !!
While this is interesting, the central fact that always gets lost in these "before Columbus" narratives is that the results of such efforts came to nothing. It doesn't matter if Columbus was first, fourth or tenth. What does matter is that after Columbus showed up, everything changed. The difference is interesting verse important.
@@joesmith942 Yes they did. Trade was already happening before Europeans got here. Now if you mean genocide and Eurocentric political dominance wasn't happening before that, ok.
Around 1000 years ago Chinese sailors were regularly travelling to the New World and Californian divers often find what appears to be anchor stones used as ballast and anchors,
It's interesting to think that Portuguese first went to Benin/Mali and then whatever they told him lead him to go exactly to India, China, Japan and later the America, the path from Africa to the Americas is a relatively easy sail with calm winds. But who could have given the Portuguese this knowledge to go so far?
It's a fun speculation. But it was basically impossible for pre-European contact West Africans to have made the transatlantic crossing before Columbus--or before any European explorer. West African blacks lacked the technology and organizational capacity to have built ocean-going vessels, as well as the acumen to have traversed the Atlantic. Sub-Saharan blacks were not seafaring people, like (for example) the ancient Polynesians were.
If the mali empire had intricate trans-saharan trade routes which were difficult to navigate and cross due to the temperatures of the sahara they were definitely advanced. The empire contributed to the modern understanding of Islamic and academic studies in West Africa during the medieval period and produced a number of scholars and manuscripts. You're telling me an empire that had over 700,000 manuscripts that were all stored in one place lacked organizational capacity? These guys had 4 different currencies which were gold dust, gold nuggets, salt and shells yet apparetnly by your clever conclusion they were a people who lacked organization. I don't know what you plan to achieve in belittling people so much, what do you gain from making stuff up. An empire literally requires organization to even start, there's literally ample evidence that show that the mali empire was indeed very organized and some what advanced in technology but your mind just automatically goes on to believe that black people are to dumb to build anything good. Not every single black person is a hoodlum who lacks education and only gangbangs.
So much racism and bigotry in the comments section. Very disappointing! It would be fascinating to know whether anyone from Mali made it to the Americas. In fact, many people made it across the ocean long before Columbus, who may already have known about the land we all America having heard old stories and having read ancient maps; but he was trying to sail to India and hadn't intended to discover a new continent. Europeans sailed to North America 13,000 years ago - there's archeological proof in the form of flint blades and settlements in caves. Irish and Welsh Christian monks may also have sailed to America, such as described in the voyages of St. Brendan, for example (from the 8th Century). Vikings also settled in North America, albeit briefly, and North American Indians tell stories of red haired men with beards coming by ship. Even Australian Aboriginal DNA is present in today's Southern American peoples, suggesting that they had sailed all the way across the Pacific Ocean. There is also speculation that Ancient Egyptians sailed to the Americas.
The Mali never made it. The only survivors to return from the trip said that a storm arose and the oceans swirled and swalloed up everyone but them. They were all killed.

Absolutely.
Interesting stories
That's kinda untrue (I'm Moroccan), the Europeans went to the Americas because Columbus thought India was that way, he didn't expect to bump into a new continent.

@@Cedricbennettjr Yes Mauritania is known for slavery. It is estimated between Mauritania, Libya and a few other countries that 6 million slaves exist today.

The slavery is also generational as if you are born from a slave, then you are also a slave.
I'm African American, and according to my DNA analysis, I have quite a bit of ancestry from Mali. Knowing that people from the ancient kingdom of Mali may have stepped foot in the Americas long ago is bone chilling.
I'm no expert but you might be able to tell when that Mali DNA came into your ancestry. Certain genetic mutations are markers of different groups of people. Mutations associated with a Clan or tribe in Mali though might be unique to an era or pass through to recent or present times making it hard to tell when and how that mutation arrived in the West. But it may also be possible to date the point that your Mali genes came into your line of DNA other ways.
I've never explored whats available through personal genetic testing but Africa is vastly under represented in complete genomes, but I have long been interested in human origins data which starts in Africa.
You waz kings bro
MALI today is different with old Mali
U can´t know with DNA because ex: Me am an Soninke and my tribe are in Mali , Senegal ,Mauritania same with Mandinka they are in Senegal , Nord Ivory coast, Senegal ,Guinee ,Mali because all this countries were in Mandinka empire @Mali
@@freegalsen5556 You may be able to determine how much Soninke Mandinka is in you and when and where it became part of your DNA.
The borders of every country don't trap or slow down DNA. DNA tells us that in Britain 4000 and again 9000 years ago the DNA in what is now Britain was virtually all replaced with DNA originating in what is now Central Russia.
So what does it mean to be "British"? It means you probably speak English, you think about the King and parliment, eat fish and chips, whatever. But your DNA may be Russian, or you immigrated to what is now Britain sometime in the last 4000 years.
Either way your DNA keeps a log of where your bits and pieces came from regardless of whether you feel like your English, Russian, Mali, China or someplace else.
If you feel and act British, that's fine, but virtually no Brit is "British" if he thinks 200 generations back. He's likely Russian, but there was no Russia back then. So what is he really?
Only DNA can set your "identity" over a long period of time.
Not only that, but every Chinaman, Norwegian, or African etc...... shares a full 99% of human DNA anyway. We are vastly more generally human than we are a tribe, nationality, or ethnic group.
But culturally people want to know their past even though most cultures (language, food, etc.) have changed radically over the last 5-10,000 years.
Same! I also have a good percentage of Malian ancestry as well. I love our history!

@@darrelv764well I have read about it in a history book written by a US historian. They did set out but nobody knows whether they reached America. If they did they would have landed in south america as they were sailing forth from mali and they could not go upstream that far as to meet with the Apaches. 😅 also they did not go to conquer but to trade and they did not come back.

Im from Ecuador, south America, land of the Quitus, Caras, Cañaris, Huancavilcas and Incas. I once went with my grandfather in a trip to a very special place called Esmeraldas which is inhabitated by almost exclusively black people. I was surprised by this and asked why our country has such place with black people since we are not black and he told me this legend his grandfather had told him; Blacks have been here always he said, they came a long time ago in great ships and were great man. They were tall, black as night and had strange weapons and powerful magic, they didn't attack our people but they taught us to build in their style and some other important lessons. They didn't want gold unlike the spaniards but they asked for corn. After a long time there were some problems with the shuaras and the puruaes and the black people had to retreat to the jungles deep heart where they sometimes were spotted by some of our people, however they were told not to fight or talk to them ( blacks ) but to run like hell since they were superior in war but they were too few to conquer us. They never left. I believe in my granpa because I've heard some more legends like this among the old.
That's interesting.
Could just be some escaped slaves lol.
The idea that a West African fleet, in the middle ages could set out on the Atlantic Ocean to reach the Americas is quite plausible. A century before Columbus, a Chinese fleet lead by Xheng He circumnavigated the world. The expedition was written in a book by Gavin Menzies. If Columbus was honest enough to document in his journal that the natives of south America had stated that "dark skinned men" had came to their land before white Europeans deserves a scholarly investigation. This will challenge the status quo and a big re-think on Africans during the middle ages.
List of People who made it to the Americas before Columbus:
The Chinese
Mali (Mansa Abubkr II) (bad at spelling)
Leif Ericsson
Templar Knights
The Minoans
Y'all say Africans like they were the some singular group. They weren't. Same way that the British/French/Portuguese wouldn't give Columbus the funds to travel, yet Spain did. All white countries, all different cultures.
The Moors were great ship builders , the were the Masters of the Sea , they control the Mediterranean Sea . and Atlantic Ocean . As a matter of fact , the Moors were the first people to Circvmnavigate the whole entire Earth . The Moors taught Europeans how to build ships , and Navigate the waters .

Have you heard of the North African countries that took part of kidnappings of the white slaves right? Reports of Barbary raids and kidnappings of those in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, England, Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland, and as far north as Iceland exist from between the 16th to the 19th centuries. In 1785 when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman, they asked him what right he had to take slaves in this way.
North African pirate ship, According to observers of the late 1500s and early 1600s, there were around 35,000 European Christian slaves held throughout this time on the Barbary Coast - many in Tripoli, Tunis, and various Moroccan towns, but most of all in Algiers.
www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/empire_seapower/white_slaves_01.shtml
Okay now read this bit to catch you up with where I'm going with this: In 1767 at age 24, Jefferson inherited 5,000 acres of land and the legal ownership of 52 people by his father's will. In 1768, Jefferson began construction of his Monticello plantation. Through his marriage to Martha Wayles in 1772 and inheritance from his father-in-law John Wayles, in 1773 Jefferson inherited two plantations and the legal ownership of 135 men, women and children who were to be kept as slaves. By 1776, Jefferson was one of the largest planters in Virginia. However, the value of his property (land and slaves) was increasingly offset by his growing debts, which made it very difficult to free the people he kept forced in to slavery, hence according to the operant financial laws of the time, lose them as "property" and hence financial assets.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Jefferson_and_slavery
Why is Thomas Jefferson coming to London to negotiate with Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman of stopping white slaves and not black slaves? This makes Thomas Jefferson the biggest hypocrite that ever lived, and that's me not getting into him fathering black slave children, the man is a walking contradiction.

A friend from Brazil, who is a student of History , told me that the name of Brazil has no meaning either in the local language or in Latin, and he said that this name came from the Algerian tribe of Bani Birzal ( in Arabic they say " Barazila " which means " Brazilians in plural"! , which was ruling in Algeria and then moved to Andalusia, and after the fall of their state in Qarmona In Spain, they immigrated to America
Nope it was named after the brazil tree: "The word "Brazil" likely comes from the Portuguese word for brazilwood, a tree that once grew plentifully along the Brazilian coast. In Portuguese, brazilwood is called pau-brasil, with the word brasil commonly given the etymology "red like an ember", formed from brasa ("ember") and the suffix -il (from -iculum or -ilium). As brazilwood produces a deep red dye, it was highly valued by the European textile industry and was the earliest commercially exploited product from Brazil. Throughout the 16th century, massive amounts of brazilwood were harvested by indigenous peoples (mostly Tupi) along the Brazilian coast, who sold the timber to European traders (mostly Portuguese, but also French) in return for assorted European consumer goods. The official Portuguese name of the land, in original Portuguese records, was the "Land of the Holy Cross" (Terra da Santa Cruz), but European sailors and merchants commonly called it simply the "Land of Brazil" (Terra do Brasil) because of the brazilwood trade. The popular appellation eclipsed and eventually supplanted the official Portuguese name. Some early sailors called it the "Land of Parrots"."

2-Lief Erikson and the Vikings
3-Mansa Musa and the Mali Empire

So if the westafricans or northafricans had journeyed into the west and a european have had noticed that then it would have been spain or portugal

The whole Columbus story, although true, is a bit of a red herring as to who discovered America. It is not that far from Scandinavia to the Labrador coast. There is much archaeological evidence for sporadic Norse colonisation of much of the North American (now Canada) east Coast for over 500 years from the 9th century.
History records owners not renters. Meaning that when Columbus arrived he brought his culture. And it was here to stay. Unlike the Vikings,whose settlement of North America had failed. And as for this Muslim African explorer. It sound like he just visited. Seeing that the Indians there were backward compared to his culture.
@@DeltaEchoGolf discovery means finding out not settling
A viking named Leif Erickson did go to North America almost 5 centuries before Colombus. Vikings even tried to colonize it so they could get all the wood there and make more ships. But their settlements weren't big and got destroyed by Native Americans so they stopped going there.

Actually the first man eho discovered america was Leif Erikson, an Icelandic guy who sailed west 500 years before Colombus. And I think Abubakari II was the 2nd guy who discovered America.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abu bakari didn’t tho lol you honestly think this is valid source? They had a cloth that look like a cloth from morroco 😂😂
@@arberor4597 The word for gold was West African, the metallurgy was exactly the same, their were Spanish eyewitness accounts of seeing tall Africans in Honduras, Haiti, etc. And there were skeletal remains of pre Colombian Africans found. You're jealous WE get it🙄

1. Do you know anything about linguistics? Even in my language the word Africa can be translated in my language. No surprise considering individually language has tens of thousands of words weak to the core.
No evidence of pre-Columbian contact between Africa and the Americas has ever been found.
2. No they never said they “saw tall Africans”.
even saying black ppl doenst say much. South Asian have a very dark complexion although they don’t have “sub Saharan African features”. For example if a African reached North America and landed in Canada. They would see the native Inuit people. And for a sub Saharan Africans who was raised in what is today Nigeria with no internet. Would Call them pale, with long straight hair. These characteristics do not distinguish between inuts and Europeans. Understand?
It’s the same for places like the Caribbean which naturally just like south India has a very high temperature but again they ain’t sub Saharan Africans. Google Indians in south India. Their skin complexion is extremely dark but don’t have sub Saharan Africans features
3. Skeletal remains? Show me the evidence. F
4. Jealous ? 😂 just look at sub Saharan Africa. You find no worthy architecture. For example before Columbus reach America what was built in sub Saharan Africa that compares to say the Florence cathedral?
@@arberor4597this exactly what your criminally minded ancestors wanted to do, diminish black history so that descendants like you can say it’s not true.
SubhanAllah!! Very Interesting!!
Jizakallah khayr ilmfeed :) finally positive history on Africa and black people who sadly are looked down upon in some cultures from other Muslim countries . If any Muslim hates black people . Just remember Bilal the first muaddin and a companion of Prophet Muhammed (SAW)was black, Prophet Moses was Black and Prophet Adam (alayhi salam)
What are you talking about?
There is no racism in muslim countries.
@@AK-nm1jh there is especially in Arab and Asian communities they have a deep rooted culture that demeans black and African people
Hey sis, fancy bumping into you here 😂🤗
@@AK-nm1jh LOOL if you really think that then you're very ignorant. Sorry to say.
@@AK-nm1jh Islam is not racists..however, there a definitely racists norms and cultural practices that are basically based on racism. Do your research. Islam is not about being opinionated, it is about being real and open minded. Remember, there are not bad religions, only bad people...and they exist in all religions. The good ones also exists, in all religions.
thank you for this!
Wowwwww never knew this … this needs to be made into a movie
A lot of those people aka Moors and Natives are people of the Book.

@Jake Cu someone sounds hurt lol have you read the Book of Obadiah?
We must teach these facts to the white-skin people.
From A Black Hamitic African Muslim This Is African Pride Long Before It Became An Islamic Pride Period ✊🏿😎🌍
Pretty much every group in the world discovered the America's(African muslims/vikings/etc.) before Columbus the reason they say Columbus was the first is because it was the latest and was the first to colonise it
I think there's alot of Islamic footage in native indian america.In my country Islam was spreaded without any kinds of weapon.And now Indonesia is one of the biggest muslim countries in the world.

They made science long time before that muslims, christians and agnostic developed much time after
I wish I lived in that time
Yes when there was no technology, and plenty of slavery.
Plenty of disease hunger and looting as well
@@adnanurrehman227 most diseases were brought by europeans in Africa. And slaves were servants (if they were criminals, after loosing wars, being in debts) not chattel slavery like in America don't compare african slavery and american slavery
Yes. Me too. I wish i had lived then. Obviously, those commenting about disease and slavery and war, didnt know the history..Timbuktu at that time was the " Dubai " of its age,,when london was a mere village. One of oldest universities in the world is located at timbuktu, it became the epicentre of Trade, commerce, science, scholarship and all scientific endearvors..astronomic knowledge of the highest order. So do your research. Before you start parroting your manufactured MS opinions( Africa is a continent of disease, war, etc ) here, go do some research. Africa is the biggest and richest continent. Civilisation itself was born in Africa. Humankind itself originated from Africa....what moor can i say?

Good for us that Spain were smarter and came to founded a civilization here.
Absolutely

This video is complete bs. If the muslims were in America they would have left prove of it. Southern Spain is full of Muslim monuments and buildings. Where are they in America?, nowhere. If you need more proof you are biased af.

Amazing stuff, keep it up!
Damn.
Mad respect for a man of his position to hop on board the ship himself especially after the tragedy of not many men returning from the first fleet sent.
Everybody reached America before Columbus ....
damn, this needs way more views...
The circumference of the earth had been closely estimated by the time of Columbus and the distance from Europe to Asia sailing west had also been roughly calculated. It was therefore known that no European ships of the time would be able to make the journey by sailing west due to limitations on how much supplies, food and fresh water could be carried.
The existence of a large land mass or islands in the Atlantic ocean had been hinted at in legends and in stories of various civilizations and peoples for centuries (sometimes called Atlantia and sometimes conflated with Atlantis), tales of river - like currents or storms that drove ships out west with some returning with reports of strange lands, animals and peoples or tales of strange people, craft, animals, debris etc arriving off the coast of Africa, Europe England and around the Mediterranean on currents from the far Atlantic ocean. Besides the accounts of the Norsemen/Vikings there also existed legends and accounts from the Romans, Greeks, Phoenicians, lrish, various Africans and Europeans of journeys to and from lands in the Atlantic.
The existence of the circuitous "Trade Winds"/ currents heading to the far Atlantic and back was known for centuries before Columbus and cartographers and navigators had long deduced that such could not occur without the presence of a large land mass to the west. These were the very currents and winds Columbus used for all his voyages to and from the Americas.
The Canary Islanders had shared with europeans their sightings of boats laden with men and supplies leaving the coasts of Africa and heading west. Columbus visited the Canaries on a couple occasions and could've heard those tales.
In the 20th century Europeans made the journey to the Caribbean using the same type of reed boats made virtually unchanged for centuries by seamen on Lake Chad. Coincidentally almost the exact same type of boats were also made and used for centuries on lakes and on rivers in South America.
Explorers after Columbus such as Balboa etc reported having actually encountered, traded with, fought against or been told of black African tribes in different parts of the Americas such as Central America. They knew what different African peoples looked like.
While the stories of Columbus' voyages say that he was trying to reach the known spice sources of Asia his contracts with the Spanish monarchs were for his being granted governorship over NEW LANDS TO BE DISCOVERED and for a cut in proceeds from trade with these NEW LANDS. Also, while he was supposedly on a quest for a route to spices, his enquires whilst in the Americas were mostly after GOLD, not spices.
Thor heyerdahl 1947 Tiki Expedition he sailed from South America to some Island way out in the ocean with Reed boats that the ancient Egyptians made proving that it could be done even in ancient times !!
It,s crap!
Ima D boy so u know I’m paid
While this is interesting, the central fact that always gets lost in these "before Columbus" narratives is that the results of such efforts came to nothing. It doesn't matter if Columbus was first, fourth or tenth. What does matter is that after Columbus showed up, everything changed. The difference is interesting verse important.
Muslims came with peace and gold, Columbus came with death and destruction. Yeah I guess everything did change after that.
That’s not what’s being said. They were 4 major migrations before Columbus even set foot here. Read up lil guy
@@rayyrayy7830 These "major" migrations had no lasting impact; hence are trivial and not really part of history beyond, "yeah that happened". Clueless
@@joesmith942 Yes they did. Trade was already happening before Europeans got here. Now if you mean genocide and Eurocentric political dominance wasn't happening before that, ok.

Around 1000 years ago Chinese sailors were regularly travelling to the New World and Californian divers often find what appears to be anchor stones used as ballast and anchors,
They didn't. Only northern asians went to the Americas, but that is prehistoric, before there was a China.
So the Chinese had maps, american products like corn, sugar, potatoes or american animals to prove that?
@@pacoramon9468 they had maps of much of the world.
@@alexbowman7582 So you wouldn't have any trouble sending me a link of a chinese map with America made before 1492?

It's interesting to think that Portuguese first went to Benin/Mali and then whatever they told him lead him to go exactly to India, China, Japan and later the America, the path from Africa to the Americas is a relatively easy sail with calm winds. But who could have given the Portuguese this knowledge to go so far?
Me thinks some of the lighter skinned folks will watch this and get cognitive dissonance
It's a fun speculation. But it was basically impossible for pre-European contact West Africans to have made the transatlantic crossing before Columbus--or before any European explorer.
West African blacks lacked the technology and organizational capacity to have built ocean-going vessels, as well as the acumen to have traversed the Atlantic. Sub-Saharan blacks were not seafaring people, like (for example) the ancient Polynesians were.
Laughs in vikings
If the mali empire had intricate trans-saharan trade routes which were difficult to navigate and cross due to the temperatures of the sahara they were definitely advanced. The empire contributed to the modern understanding of Islamic and academic studies in West Africa during the medieval period and produced a number of scholars and manuscripts. You're telling me an empire that had over 700,000 manuscripts that were all stored in one place lacked organizational capacity? These guys had 4 different currencies which were gold dust, gold nuggets, salt and shells yet apparetnly by your clever conclusion they were a people who lacked organization.
I don't know what you plan to achieve in belittling people so much, what do you gain from making stuff up. An empire literally requires organization to even start, there's literally ample evidence that show that the mali empire was indeed very organized and some what advanced in technology but your mind just automatically goes on to believe that black people are to dumb to build anything good. Not every single black person is a hoodlum who lacks education and only gangbangs.
Always the typical talks off white people
@@Obstone0 top notch response!
So much racism and bigotry in the comments section. Very disappointing!
It would be fascinating to know whether anyone from Mali made it to the Americas. In fact, many people made it across the ocean long before Columbus, who may already have known about the land we all America having heard old stories and having read ancient maps; but he was trying to sail to India and hadn't intended to discover a new continent.
Europeans sailed to North America 13,000 years ago - there's archeological proof in the form of flint blades and settlements in caves. Irish and Welsh Christian monks may also have sailed to America, such as described in the voyages of St. Brendan, for example (from the 8th Century). Vikings also settled in North America, albeit briefly, and North American Indians tell stories of red haired men with beards coming by ship. Even Australian Aboriginal DNA is present in today's Southern American peoples, suggesting that they had sailed all the way across the Pacific Ocean. There is also speculation that Ancient Egyptians sailed to the Americas.
The Mali never made it. The only survivors to return from the trip said that a storm arose and the oceans swirled and swalloed up everyone but them. They were all killed.
@@nautical1845 12 different Spanish explorers from the time wrote about SEEING Black Africans in the Americas way before the the slave trade. Colombus himself wrote about the Black African tribes who were gold traders. There were skeletal remains found of Africans pre Colombian in the Virgin islands. There were pre Colombian bananas found in tombs in Peru with the same West African name for them. Just get over it. JEALOUSY is deep 🙄
@@lf1496Dang. You absolutely destroyed him.
@@nautical1845Liar just like your ancestors. Columbus himself asserts to this and you still insist it’s a lie. So brainwashed in your liars……..
There is also a theory where Malay Muslim came to America first before Christopher Columbus.
Chances are very remote. It's quite a distance.
@@itnala Malaysians are part of Austronesian nations and they were great at sailing. They settled in places at both Indian and Pacific Ocean,from Madagascar to Hawaii. It's possible they might also went to Americas.
Nice information tiching video! Go for ahead! 💖
The Destiny soundtrack in the background threw me off
😂😂😂😂 same. Came looking for a comment to make sure I wasn’t trippin lol
So real americans, are Muslim ☪️️
If we really want to go down this road Saint Brendan is thought to have reached America before Muslims existed.
