@@albertogutierrez9734 The structures are in our government institutions carried down from colonial times. For example police brutality, corruption and the divide and rule strategy where tribes are ethnically charged and armed leading to endless conflict. in Kenya people with locs are not allowed in schools and government offices, students are punished for speaking their native African languages. Despite the cultural and creative suppression, the biggest challenge is African leaders (colonial home guards) are puppets of the old colonial powers.
Yes they did. Also the use of antibiotics had been discovered by ancient Nubians as far back as 2000 years ago. Modern studies found tetracycline in ancient Nubian bones. They used their beers which was fermented to make tetracycline to treat gum disease and other ailments... The Western world only discovered penicillin in 1928.

IAmFozzy100 you are so wrong African civilizations are much older than China, Rome or Greece so what you are saying makes no sense from a timeframe perspective.
IAmFozzy100 my dear uninformed brother the oldest civilizations has everything to do with who invented what. Any student of history knows that civilizations were builded off the foundation of the nations and civilizations before them especially civilizations in those regions of the world. Do you really believe that Mesopotamia just came into existence, it and all the other civilizations in that region including Greek and Rome. It is easy to see when you eliminate looking at everything through the eyes of Europeans. They are not the only people in the world and they did not invent history, they simply wrote about it and made themselves the center. I will help you discover the truth, ask any biologists to list the ages of each race on earth and the you can determine which race has been here the longest. When you see which race has been here the longest you will be able to determine that group’s potential for human contribution. The Africans had boiled the pyramids before there was a Europe, white people or Mesopotamia
Kamau Miller this is because white people erased our history, teaches their children how they got rich with our ancestors blood and they think it’s okay to get everything you want even if it not yours. We welcomed them but they abused our hospitality. I’m just sad of the fact that we need to start from scratch. One day Africa will be ours again. And it will be great!
Nusaibah Ibraheem That’s actually untrue Arabs are credited for their Ancient history in the Middle East. The issue I was speaking about was the fact that civilizations like Ancient Egypt are credited to either Arabs or Europeans when in reality neither arrived until much later. Many people are ignorant and don’t even realize that Egypt is in Africa. While civilizations like Ancient Nubia and the Kingdom of Ethiopia are overlooked all together.
But yea its a misinformation plot...and the fact is that Egyptians and other African civilizations birthed the Arab culture and controlled the so called Middle East which is actually North East Africa

Today is my last day before starting a 30 day YT fast. I am very glad that I spent time watching this vid. HomeTeam, your CONTRIBUTION to YT is incredible!
When I was young I lived in the city my whole life. One summer break i went to visit my grandparents in the village ( I'm from Ghana). The village is at a remote area that the most technological thing they have is a small radio. We went to the farm one day and I saw people making alcohol using the process of distillation. They extract raw fermented juice from a palm tree. They boil the juice at a high temperature and connect tubes to a river and other tubes to an empty barrel which the distilled alcohol fill into. I was shocked how they came by that knowledge because none of those guys can read. They never had any contact with western education. My grandpa told me his great grandpa said they have been using that method for many years. My grandpa is 91 years.
Don't overlook advances in leather tanning techniques in West Africa in the early modern period. Most of the great old European books from the period are bound in highly-sought-after West African leather, traded up to Morocco, and then on to Spain, and then into the rest of Europe. Ghislaine Lydon's 'On Trans-Saharan Trails' details this.
I know my generation (44 yrs old) basically learned nothing but lies in history class in elementary through high school. Then I get to college and learn the truth. I have spent more time explaining the reality of history to people than I ever wanted to! I’m just glad that my son goes to a K12 school where they teach truth. There is no whitewashing. He learned that our American forefathers were slave owning hypocrites. They went into such detail on slavery and the treatment of the Native Americans it brought us to tears. It was very refreshing.
History is history. By focusing on one group is the path towards blissful ignorance. Different cultures contributed to form modern day civilization as we know today.

It's impossible for any nation/race of people, to survive without any knowledge or development of their environment... We know that!

Guys, I live in Uganda, and I can say with certainty, that I have seen this being done in the villages where access to hospitals are limited and hospitals are over 100 -250 miles away.

Kudos to the geniuses before us that are unsung👍🏿
ALL FACTS - That is a very good point my friend. It absolutely blows my mind when it is established that AFRICA is the mother/father land of humanity and why we still dispute their way of living and inventions they did to survive as a human civilisation where it spread to Greeks, Romans and the western world.
HAT The Vatican has a museum that’s not open to the public that holds the most precious loot from Jewish Temple in Jerusalem one of the items is the Temple Menorah. Nobody expects this loot to be returned to Israel. Most European museums would be empty if they were obligated to return the root. Europeans like Belgians, French and British take less heat for looting other countries today than they should. U.S. takes more heat than UK and Spain the two countries that brutalized and colonized half the world for centuries.
I agree! I am also tld (wish I knew this b4 my travel there), that lots & lots of significant, extremely important cultural knowledge, heritage, including artifacts are hidden away somewhere in France! & in order to have access to view/learn about these hidden gems, a rigorous process is encountered after months of prep of the interested individual 😒 I REALLY wish I knew this b4 going back in 2015 😤 bcuz all of that "daunting" footwork would've been a personal marathon for moi 😉

The are extremely 'manipulative' and often use 'looking pretty' to distract others from the witch's mind-games / mind-rape, e.g. gaslighting, playing the victim or damsel in distress, creating 'flying-monkeys', and paying others to attack (or at times kill) someone for her. When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Elliott Till. Spread the word.

@@FBvio Khemitic records show that they themselves paid homage to the ancestors who came from the South, Ta-Seti.

Thank you for another great video Derek! I have a suggestion for you, and this has probably crossed your mind anyway, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Of course the only one they have up there from Africa is ancient Egypt, which, don't get me wrong, was awesome. It depicted a day in the life of Peseshet! I definitely enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but imagine what a series like that focusing specifically on the African continent would be like:). And since you're such a great artist/animator......
Hi HomeTeam, I appreciate the work that you do. Your content is well put together and you articulate the events so well. Please keep doing what you are doing, you are a gifted historian and storyteller.
I believe the most recent evidence suggests that iron metallurgy/smelting was invented independently (separately) in both West Africa and the Near East (where smelting dates from about 2,000BC are also found), not so much that Eurasian/Near Eastern iron metallurgy came from Africa (since iron smelting ocurred later in east/northeast Africa than either West Africa or the Near East).
@Karen Maynard Yes, thank you. I think I've seen some of those but will look at the rest (I am reading some now). There are also very early iron smelting dates from southeast Nigeria (one mentioned in the video I believe); from Lejja (ca. 2,000 BC, found in Pamela Eze-Uzomaka's 2009 study, linked below) and Opi (ca. 750 BC.) also in southest Nigeria, both of which archaeologist Augustin Holl in your link also mentions. There are also the ca. 800-900 BC iron dates (from the site of Gbabiri in the Central Africa Republic). The archaeometallurgist Manfred Eggert, in his essay/chapter "Early iron in West and Central Africa" as part of the book "Nok: African Sculpture in Archaeological Context" (pages 51-59) also concludes that iron metallurgy in sub-Saharan Africa was probably independently invented.
@@boosie4l133 Make up more BS. The monolith you refer to as "white folks" say metallurgy was invented concurrently in different areas. And if you want to bring Europe into it, they consider the Balkans to be the first site of metallurgy in Europe, not Britain.

The reason I love your RUclips channel is when you speak of our ancestors it's in a humble modest tone. It does not sound like its taking away from other racist, but bringing us closer together. I don't feel we are better by taking in your videos. I finally feel equal, not that I did not before, but looking at your video makes equality in ironclad fact. Thank you brother.
Great video! This gives us some ammunition when people from other races limit African contributions to the world. Are you going to do any videos of black africans in ancient Europe like the Etruscans or Moors?
Just so you know, I am a German-American, and I have no particular connection to Africa or Africans, but I just love your channel.

Very well presented with clear references. It does demonstrate that there is a concerted effort to keep these facts from being more broadly known. Which, of known by all, would in turn cause all to respect Africa as a place of science before Europe and as a result starting to see the potential of Africans today. Thanks for your research.
this is exactly the kind of videos i have been craving lately, im really thankful someone suggested your channel to me. really awesome videos man, thank you for doing what you do.
Great job and eloquently explained as usual. The Afrikan contributions to medicine could have been more extensive and especially on surgical medical practitioners like Imhotep. Not only master builder and mathmatician, he is considered the father of scientific medicine. Who's stele show surgical instruments that are still in use today. Except that our Khemitic ancestors used obsidian blades for their operations because it doesn't leave scars. You could have spoke on the esoteric subject of Khemitic use of electricity. Proof of it is not only the elaborate ceiling paintings of the universe and the fact that the soot from torches and candles are from the grave robbers a.K.a Egyptologists, but also from the wall carving in Dendara showing our ancestors with Djeds/batteries and what appears to be light bulbs. The fact is that Volta patent the battery two years after he comes out of Egypt with Napoleon. To quote Count Constantine De Volney, who also went with Napoleon, upon seeing the Great Sphinx, said, "just think that the race of Black men, today our slave and object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, science and even the use of speech".

@ Sorry but, the Egyptians as well as the ancient Israelites were all black people 💪🏾... the propaganda days are over bud... take a break pal
@@newjerseytimes9123 Egyptians custom and rituals died out in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago but my people (Se-Asia) have similar rituals and share simular beliefs system but its dying out slowly do to modern day way of life smfh.. I believed Kemet people are Brown Se-Asian folks whom venture into (West like) Egypt using monsoon wind routes. The Aboriginal Indian in Meso America (Feathers Indian) probably used the wind route and make their way into America and also used the same route to take them back to Africa and Asia region...
Everytime I tune into your channel, I can feel more and more of my conditioning wither away. Thank u.
CJ congratulations. It’s a journey, isn’t it? In psychology they study the various stages of racial identity. I believe their are 5 stages as it pertains to Black people.

It makes me crave more information to make up for lost time.
One thing I think we can do with this space is share what we know and vet each others knowledge. We need a cohesive narrative of our history so that those of us who teach can chronologically organize a timeline of important events before slavery.

IAmFozzy100 how do you know?
IAmFozzy100 you are so wrong African civilizations are much older than China, Rome or Greece so what you are saying makes no sense from a timeframe perspective.
IAmFozzy100 don’t be condescending.
@IAmFozzy100 you're spot on
IAmFozzy100 my dear uninformed brother the oldest civilizations has everything to do with who invented what. Any student of history knows that civilizations were builded off the foundation of the nations and civilizations before them especially civilizations in those regions of the world. Do you really believe that Mesopotamia just came into existence, it and all the other civilizations in that region including Greek and Rome. It is easy to see when you eliminate looking at everything through the eyes of Europeans. They are not the only people in the world and they did not invent history, they simply wrote about it and made themselves the center. I will help you discover the truth, ask any biologists to list the ages of each race on earth and the you can determine which race has been here the longest. When you see which race has been here the longest you will be able to determine that group’s potential for human contribution. The Africans had boiled the pyramids before there was a Europe, white people or Mesopotamia
What saddens me is the fact that I'm 34yrs old and didn't know about any of this nor did I learn it in school so glad your channel exist 👍👍👍
And I'm just learning this at 61 I intend to teach my granddaughter as much black history as she can take.

That’s because this video is a lie
I'm 47 and this channel teaches me new things every day. I have a notebook filled with things I've learned from this channel.
It’s unfortunate that the contributions of African People to humanity are always either credited to Europeans and Arabs or ignored all together.
Kamau Miller this is because white people erased our history, teaches their children how they got rich with our ancestors blood and they think it’s okay to get everything you want even if it not yours. We welcomed them but they abused our hospitality. I’m just sad of the fact that we need to start from scratch. One day Africa will be ours again. And it will be great!
Arabs, lol. Arabs are hardly credited for much either.
Nusaibah Ibraheem That’s actually untrue Arabs are credited for their Ancient history in the Middle East. The issue I was speaking about was the fact that civilizations like Ancient Egypt are credited to either Arabs or Europeans when in reality neither arrived until much later. Many people are ignorant and don’t even realize that Egypt is in Africa. While civilizations like Ancient Nubia and the Kingdom of Ethiopia are overlooked all together.
@@nusaibahibraheem8183 Right! This is what pisses me off. It's not only to the Africans that they are doing what they are doing.
But yea its a misinformation plot...and the fact is that Egyptians and other African civilizations birthed the Arab culture and controlled the so called Middle East which is actually North East Africa

Still blows my mind that many of the artifacts are kept in European countries.
They are probably better preserved that way. There might be higher standards of conservation of archeological discoveries in the Royal Institute than in Mali for example
Brian Evans better preserved? We preserved them for centuries, I’m sure they would have been fine if they stayed tf where they where.
@@brianevans4 You weren't put on this planet just to tell black people what is good and what's not! That's only a superior myth you fooled yourself for centuries long.

When I was young I lived in the city my whole life. One summer break i went to visit my grandparents in the village ( I'm from Ghana). The village is at a remote area that the most technological thing they have is a small radio. We went to the farm one day and I saw people making alcohol using the process of distillation. They extract raw fermented juice from a palm tree. They boil the juice at a high temperature and connect tubes to a river and other tubes to an empty barrel which the distilled alcohol fill into. I was shocked how they came by that knowledge because none of those guys can read. They never had any contact with western education. My grandpa told me his great grandpa said they have been using that method for many years. My grandpa is 91 years.
Umm.........you DO know that alcohol was around wayyy before written language was ever invented?........?....??????
My late grandmother "performed" surgery with leaves and bark of trees. I'm also from Ghana
Dude, mankind has been fermenting fruits, wheat and stuff since the dark ages. This isn’t anything special.

@@potatoeskimos Distilled liquor is a little more complex than wine tho so his point still stands.
Don't overlook advances in leather tanning techniques in West Africa in the early modern period. Most of the great old European books from the period are bound in highly-sought-after West African leather, traded up to Morocco, and then on to Spain, and then into the rest of Europe.

YES! We must teach our children our history 🖤❤️
💪❤
I know my generation (44 yrs old) basically learned nothing but lies in history class in elementary through high school. Then I get to college and learn the truth. I have spent more time explaining the reality of history to people than I ever wanted to! I’m just glad that my son goes to a K12 school where they teach truth. There is no whitewashing. He learned that our American forefathers were slave owning hypocrites. They went into such detail on slavery and the treatment of the Native Americans it brought us to tears. It was very refreshing.
History is history. By focusing on one group is the path towards blissful ignorance. Different cultures contributed to form modern day civilization as we know today.
I don’t want to teach my children a history that “other’s” anyone, but presents the humanity of the world without racial bias.

One of the best videos on RUclips. Thank you so much for your contribution to humanity by sharing your videos. Amazing information.

Kudos to the geniuses before us that are unsung👍🏿
ALL FACTS - That is a very good point my friend. It absolutely blows my mind when it is established that AFRICA is the mother/father land of humanity and why we still dispute their way of living and inventions they did to survive as a human civilisation where it spread to Greeks, Romans and the western world.
why is the Ishango in Belgium.....King Leopold II of belgium clearly taught his descendants well....give us our artifacts back!
In Ghana we have Ashanti looted gold in England’s museum I’m not sure they would give it away
HAT The Vatican has a museum that’s not open to the public that holds the most precious loot from Jewish Temple in Jerusalem one of the items is the Temple Menorah. Nobody expects this loot to be returned to Israel. Most European museums would be empty if they were obligated to return the root. Europeans like Belgians, French and British take less heat for looting other countries today than they should. U.S. takes more heat than UK and Spain the two countries that brutalized and colonized half the world for centuries.
I agree! I am also tld (wish I knew this b4 my travel there), that lots & lots of significant, extremely important cultural knowledge, heritage, including artifacts are hidden away somewhere in France! & in order to have access to view/learn about these hidden gems, a rigorous process is encountered after months of prep of the interested individual 😒 I REALLY wish I knew this b4 going back in 2015 😤 bcuz all of that "daunting" footwork would've been a personal marathon for moi 😉

When caught, she will use her minions as scapegoats. European ESFJ are notorious for this especially in a racist context, e.g. Elliott Till.

Thank you for another great video Derek! I have a suggestion for you, and this has probably crossed your mind anyway, but just thought I'd throw it out there. I was looking at some TedX videos today, and they have a playlist called "A day in the life," where they depict a day in the life of someone in an ancient society through these really cool animated videos. Of course the only one they have up there from Africa is ancient Egypt, which, don't get me wrong, was awesome. It depicted a day in the life of Peseshet! I definitely enjoyed it, but I couldn't help but imagine what a series like that focusing specifically on the African continent would be like:). And since you're such a great artist/animator......
Hi HomeTeam, I appreciate the work that you do. Your content is well put together and you articulate the events so well. Please keep doing what you are doing, you are a gifted historian and storyteller.
I believe the most recent evidence suggests that iron metallurgy/smelting was invented independently (separately) in both West Africa and the Near East (where smelting dates from about 2,000BC are also found), not so much that Eurasian/Near Eastern iron metallurgy came from Africa (since iron smelting ocurred later in east/northeast Africa than either West Africa or the Near East).
@Karen Maynard Thanks for the link! I'm watching it now. I've allways found Ehret very interesting.
@Karen Maynard Yes, thank you. I think I've seen some of those but will look at the rest (I am reading some now). There are also very early iron smelting dates from southeast Nigeria (one mentioned in the video I believe); from Lejja (ca. 2,000 BC, found in Pamela Eze-Uzomaka's 2009 study, linked below) and Opi (ca. 750 BC.) also in southest Nigeria, both of which archaeologist Augustin Holl in your link also mentions. There are also the ca. 800-900 BC iron dates (from the site of Gbabiri in the Central Africa Republic). The archaeometallurgist Manfred Eggert, in his essay/chapter "Early iron in West and Central Africa" as part of the book "Nok: African Sculpture in Archaeological Context" (pages 51-59) also concludes that iron metallurgy in sub-Saharan Africa was probably independently invented.
It’s invented at the same time in China and Africa but white folks keep sayin the invented it in Britain sum shi
@@boosie4l133 Make up more BS. The monolith you refer to as "white folks" say metallurgy was invented concurrently in different areas. And if you want to bring Europe into it, they consider the Balkans to be the first site of metallurgy in Europe, not Britain.
Mustard Skaven it’s invented in Africa. Get over it. Even in early dynastic Egypt they describe the knives they made as “daggers from heaven”. Don’t @ me saying the Egyptians are Caucasian

Very well presented with clear references. It does demonstrate that there is a concerted effort to keep these facts from being more broadly known.

Except that our Khemitic ancestors used obsidian blades for their operations because it doesn't leave scars. You could have spoke on the esoteric subject of Khemitic use of electricity. Proof of it is not only the elaborate ceiling paintings of the universe and the fact that the soot from torches and candles are from the grave robbers a.K.a Egyptologists, but also from the wall carving in Dendara showing our ancestors with Djeds/batteries and what appears to be light bulbs. The fact is that Volta patent the battery two years after he comes out of Egypt with Napoleon. To quote Count Constantine De Volney, who also went with Napoleon, upon seeing the Great Sphinx, said, "just think that the race of Black men, today our slave and object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, science and even the use of speech".
Sense the 1960's I don't want know body to give me nothing open the door I'll get it myself don't give integration give me true communication don't give me sorrow I want equal opportunity to live tomorrow give me schools give me better books so I can read about myself and gain my truly looks.

Thanks to those behind this research and especially to those who put together and expose this truth so we Africans and the rest of the world can appreciate Africa. Some part of it was taught in Nigerian history in my secondary school and this report is so accurate with what I've learnt and come to know with proof. Not just a made up story. This should be taught in African schools and also other parts of the world so Africans can be proud of who they are.
LOVE this channel! ✊🏿
I enjoy watching your videos, they are very informative and made me even more proud of my people!
Africa's greatest gift was being the motherland for the entire human race.

Governments really need to teach a more broader scope of history.
In the u.k, 20 years ago, I only learned British history and whenever black people where mentioned, it was in a negative light. That we were slaves.
All this was missing until now, watching this video. I am now 36!!!
My children are 2 and 4. I will be taking it upon myself to teach my children how beautiful and intelligent they amd their ancestors are and were.
I really think this man should make audiobooks.

Excellent work Team! Keep creating and sharing

About african medical contributions, don't forget the Yoruba bonesetters.
You are doing the most important greatest teaching for us. People need to know their real history to become more loving, selfaware, better versions of themselves.
Math wasn't created nor invented. it was discovered. everything we do has math in it. The universal language
I agree and always said the physical phenomena Math explains always existed ie cell division, Mathematics is just a way to express and record natural occurrences.
I wouldn't even use the term 'discovered'. More so 'applied' and 'expressed'.
For the most part science is neither created nor invented, it is discovered studied and then applied.
@TEA DROPPER once creations happened u have math one plus one equal 2.
@Shadow The Poet words are not more important than math and science. u bugging
Excellent video. Interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Keep it up bro!
