Not just Moors from Africa. Remember that local population also converted to Islam, and Africans did intermarry with local Europeans. So Al Andalus is a mixture and joint project of Arabs, Berbers, Goths, Hispano Romans, as well as Europeans from the north. Since Al Andalus did have slaves of European origin.
Well told...
When did people in Iberia ever call themselves "Hispano"? But the people of Iberia do use the word "Moro" and have a very famous phrase: Hay Moros en la costa
Europe will always denies that Moors bring civilization to Europe!
Because they didn't.
@@TTNL2442they did but they weren’t black they were like nowadays Moroccans
You guys can't cope, you're finally realising that your history is based on a lie, so you continue gaslighting. Look closely, some have negroid features. Cope. All the 3 Abrahamic religions are borrowed from black African religions. Go and do your homework.
They did not bring it to Africa. Hence. They must have been arabs.
@SteelerzReignSupremeII no. Only some factions from the army called abid Al Bukhari were black, and that’s recent. When Al Andalus existed there weren’t blacks in Morocco
No one ever mentions the fact that there were Black Africans living in Europe who were Catholics under the Visigoths. Before Mohammedanism (There was no Quran yet that is why you never see one with the Moors) the North African Coast was dotted with Catholic Monasteries with Black African Monks. The Moors may have had alot of help already in Spain when they arrived.
The Visigoths were Barbaric people
@ExLucifer-i3h I used Spain for lack of a better world. The Fact remains. Blacks were already there.
this is a great fantasy 😂
@@harmanthind2147 Unfortunately you failed to bury the History and replace it with Fantasy. Also all of the Greek and Roman statues were reproductions made during the renaissance which makes them basically FAKE because the Greeks and Romans used to PAINT all of their sculptures yet yours are just White. Another FAIL. You Stay getting caught.
An expensive, but sure way to figure out who the Moors are ethnically, is to go visit Morocco or other countries in Northwest Africa. There are some minor differences between early Moors and current north Africa, but their ethnic composition remains largely intact. Two insights will occur: 1) You'll come to realize the word "Africa" isn't always a "black" place. 2) You'll come to realize the overwhelming majority of North Africans are caucasiod Berbers. The closest ethnic relations to North Africa is the eastern Mediterranean and Southern Europe.
Yep. It's just that sub-Saharan Africans love the idea that they 'black people' ruled over Europe at one time. Spoiler, they didn't. There were some black soldiers and slaves, but the Moors were primarily Arabs, Berbers and European Muslims. There is a new rewriting of history by black people where they basically ruled everything, invented everything and were everything. AI is making it even worse, because now they can generate fake AI photos depicting themselves as kings and so on, and people are unfortunately stupid enough to believe it.
Unfortunately those amazigh berbers, dont represent the natives, they are not even related anymore. they have more ashkenzai blood then they have north african dna. The morroccan government found a very old mummy in the desert and youll be shocked to see that the real inhabits looked like. Basically like the Twa/Batwa people. The berbers were targeted by islam for their pagan religion, today they embrace the islam.
So we should ignore all contemporary descriptions, all contemporary illustrations of the Moors by people who saw them, and how Moors described themselves, and we should just look at the modern population? Sounds very logical, Pffk.
@@alphariusomegon4819 Mmodern genetics is empirical in nature, and history is more subjective as well. Genetics give us a clear understanding, on a mass statistical scale, of various ethnicities. We can identify genetic material in individuals from Arabia VS Israel VS Sudan Vs Congo VS Spaiin, etc. Of course there are people that exhibit multiple concentrations (i.e. mixed genetics), but we can still discern the various strains of genetics, even in those mixed individuals. Further, we can determine chronology of genetic material based on it's placement in sequencing, in analogy like a skyscraper (whose earliest constructions are closer to the ground). What is empirically seen in Berber countries is a majority of earliest genetics that is NOT the same as later West African, Arabic, or Southern European genetic migrants. This is the native Berber ethnicity that is the oldest in the gene code - uniquely found in this area of North Africa in the highest degree. It's is closest related to the Iberian genome (i.e. early native spaniards share the most similarities with these native berbers, and other peoples, such as subsaharans, are much less related, and when subsaharan DNA is detected in Berber individuals, it is most commonly a small amount that is chronologically at a later date in history, so not the native population at all). This genetic analysis also has a very important aspect to it - it shows that ethnicities, including the Berbers, rarely undergo a deep transition into a "melting pot" over the centuries - that is a false and racist postmodern narrative. Even within a "diverse society", we can still genetically determine who a majority group is, and who came when. History, in this context, is merely a secondary verification of genetics.
@@514Exc Did you flag my first comment to you, because it's not here anymore. Are you one of those fabled "we waz kangz" sophists? It's racist to blackwash African history. There could be dozens of mummies that bear genetic similarities to subsaharans, and that doesn't represent the actual parent ethnicity of most mummies or genetic analysis (or historical accounts). There's always been travelers from nearby countries in history, as well as a minority of relocating migrants, so that doesn't make genetics and history some subjective pot where we can trick people into historical revisionism. Further, let's see those sources for this outlying "black mummy". You are completely lying, in an anti-semetic tone, about ashkenazi DNA amongst Berbers. This same faulty reasoning about outlying mummies is used for Upper Egypt as well. The genetics don't lie. Even places like Spain, which was also a target for muslims, only bears a statistical minority of shared Arabic or Berber DNA, typically only seen in small portions in the deep south. In the central and North of Spain, that minor foreign DNA becomes even statistically smaller, oftentimes nonexistent.
Moors were a conglomeration of Amazigh (Berbers), Arabs and South of the Sahara Africans such as Malinke, Soninke, Hausa and Fulani.
Souther Africans? The term sub saharan is a racist, inaccurate and revisionist term. The black people who were Moors came from.the Sahel and North Africa.
Based on the depictions or Moors in European artwork during their rule and afterwards, the Moors seem to be mostly made up of Black Africans.
And all wither from Ethiopia and North African and the sahel. Negroes are native to ALL of Africa.they were their first before berbers migrated in and carved out their own space. Albiet with some a mixing too.
*North African.
Moors and North Africans aren't black
The word moor only means black man bruh anybody who is black is a moor
At the time a lot of the Arabs were much darker in complexion. At that time before they started to have children with Caucasian female prostitutes lighting the complexion of a large percentage of their race.
Still All black people were considered moors. The word Moor was synonymous with negro or dark skinned.
@@Barak144 if this were the case, they would test positive for subsaharan dna. They don’t.
why wasn’t southern Italy brought into this?
moor rule was there too
Most of them Sicilians have Black dna, you just have to look at the Tate brothers who both could pass as Southern Italians to see where the Sicilians come from.
Islamic rule in southern Italy lasted less than 25 years.
Still happened
@@kellenjohnson615 But it wasn't long enough to influence the area, unlike the centuries of Islamic rule in Iberia.
@@Meirstein 25 years..wtf? 😂...Sicily for example was under Islam for a grand total of 700 years apparently..not 700 years strait though I'm pretty sure. Sicily & Malta had basically the same history except Malta stayed more Arabic.
Bruh they still walking with baskets on there heads
Still better than a Walmart bag😂
The original people were Amazigh people. There are also many other tribes, Tebu, Tuareg, Mauri, Garamentes, etc. The phenotypes were various.
Yes, very diverse… first honest comment.

Amazing you’re finally admitting this factor of these known factors. The African people need to know that too the whole world need to know it need to be in the history books so they can study and learn the right way.
“ Africans “ are not one people. The history of the moors had nothing to do with history of black African people.
The paintings are gorgeous!
they are modern painting, look and medieval spanish catholic painting, moor are not black negro/sub-saharan african hunter-gather with no writing script and speak bantu and niger-congo langauge, they are arab and berber people, and also native Iberian muslim. they speak arabic, writen in arabic, and mozarabic(latin writen in arabic script). they are not black negro, afrocentric love to steal others people credit and civilzation, same with ancient egypt, olmec and ever khmer/cambodian who build angkor wat.
But they are fake pics . Most of them are imaginary pictures of 20th century. Not a single one of them is from Islamic Spain era .
Given that the greatest developements in Europe happened after the Moors were kicked out, and not even in the parts of Europe where most advances took place, it takes some mental gymnastics to think they developed it.
It's just idiotic nonsense.
Well they influenced and kickstarted it
Europe has done way more destruction than great developments. Look at all the trash in the air and in the sea as a result of European “development”. Yeah, right… Don’t get me started on y’all.

It’s a website filled with truth and lies be careful
No it's not. Anyone can post anything and a lot of information is oversimplified, omitted, and exaggerated.
This video is complete hogwash. Good luck with that edumacation.
No it's not! The Umayyad occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) was made by the Umayyad Caliphate (Arabs) that conquered all Arabia, Mesopotamia, Levante and North Africa in 7th Century. And then occupied the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) from 8th to 13th Century in Portugal (1249). From 8th to 15th Century in Spain (1492). In terms of Kingdoms it was the Umayyad Caliphate, Fatimids, Almoravids, Almohads and Nasrids. In other words thousands of Arabs, Amazighs and also thousands of Persians and Syrians that the Ummayad Caliphate brought from Mesopotamia and Levante to North Africa. Amazighs (Berber) armies were used by everyone in North Africa. Phoenicians used them. Romans used them. Arabs used them. Pretending that all the Knowledge that Arabs brought to Iberian Peninsula didn't came from Arabia, Mesopotamia, Levante and Egypt is just being biased. In the end of the day the influences left in the Iberian Peninsula are Arabic. The algebra that we use is Indian-Arabic. Our languages (Portuguese and Spanish) have hundreds of Arabic words adaptions. And Nautical Science, Navigation, Astrolabe, Sextant none of that came from Africa. Iberians were sea people at least since presence of Phoenicians in 1100BC. Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) spread all around the Mediterranean Sea coming from Lebanon, Syria where they emerged in 3000BC. The fact that they used berber cavalry in the Maghreb 'cause they set the Capital of their Carthaginian Empire in Carthage, Tunisia built in 900BC, doesn't make them African.
Portugal was born in 1143 (12th Century) and defeated the Muslim Moors (Arabs, Persians, Syrians and Amazighs (Berbers)) in 1249 (13th Century). That's before Mansa Musas's Mali "Empire" that only florished under the control of the Islamic World and as vassals of the Sultans of Mecca. Portuguese Navy, Nautical Science, Navigation, Boat construction is the result of several Schools the Kingdom implemented bringing Specialist from all the World. In 1415 Portugal started the Age of Discovery by conquering Ceuta (Muslim Moors City in North Africa) and started sailing to get to India around Africa in 1419. And did it with boats and skills that changed World's Nautical History forever. In 1500 Portuguese were already the first Global Empire of the World with territories in all Continents. From China to Brasil. What Portuguese found in Southern Regions of Africa were primitive tribes not even comparable to Egypt that by that time was already quite primitive when compared to European Empires! Stop propagating lies you're embarassing yourselves (Americans) and real Africans! Best Regards from Portugal, American Kangz!

Europe is thankful to moorish Spain
And they were rule by black which was moonish black
Black ppl are such giving ppl 😊
causian monkey we are not black we are dark skin people with different ethnicity and language and culture mf
They are Moroccan not black
Moors also ruled over Portugal, too as well
Nearly 800 years of Moorish rule did more than just imprint ideas into and onto Spain. Moors mixed their DNA with Iberians during that time and that remains as much as the ideas do.
@imperialstrategies6065 The Romans invaded and ruled Britain for over 300 years. The Anglo-Saxons invaded and ruled them for 600 years. They were also ruled for 100 years by the Vikings ... they know about, and have experienced, mixing many times. The Moors did have contact with the British Isles and even had settlements in Scotland and England, which is probably why certain flat plains in those areas are called "moors", because those were the areas where the African Moors settled/inhabited.
They also brought fashion to To the culture. The Moors loved fashion they help Europe expand fashion because they one wore one garment the whole year long. It should be movies made about them but we know how Hollywood operates and who controls it.
@SteelerzReignSupremeII and u can literally go see the paintings of the moors and u will see most of them were white, with only some black people, there were more ginger moors then black moors
@@1MarkKeller the moors never had settlements in England, and u have no idea what a moor is, the moors didnt even exhisted, thats what we portuguese and spanish called europeans who converted to islam, so only europeans could be moors, the north africans were called berbers, callin them moors is the most retarded thing ever, Marinid Dynasty, Almoravids, Almohavids, those were their names, so please dont talk about stuff u dont know, also north africans have more iberian blood then iberians have north african blood, in case u dont know it was Portugal who ruled Marroco after this
@@rogernewsomejr4634 lmao, u know that the moors adopted the typical iberian dressing style right? they literally started to use black and yellow "ponchos", wich was the traditional iberain wearing, before that the moors literally all used a "jubba thobe" wich is the same thing muslims wear today and nobody in iberia uses that, so that is just absolutely bullshi, i dont even know where u got that from but id like u to tell me ur sources pls

Incredible video, I didn't know those facts about the history of Spain. However, I am concerned about the comments of Moroccans denying history, anti-black propaganda has expanded within Africa itself and now Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians feel superior to the rest of Africans. I have been to Morocco and I can confirm that they are light skinned black people, we Africans should go to Morocco and teach them a little about their history so that they feel proud of who they are, black people
Then Europe vanished them then went to Africa and enslaved them
Prior to the Arab conquest of North Africa, Jews lived all throughout the coast and also within the interiors of the Sudan & Western Africa. . The ethnic population of the Moorish Empire consisted of Arabs, Native African Berber Tribes & Jews. . There were also many Jews at this time who had adopted Islam within the coasts of Africa because of the Arab conquest
Travels In Africa By Nahum Slouschz 1927 Page 365
However in 711AD, the conquest of Spain was again undertaken, this time by the Musselmans in concert WITH THE JEWS. The first one to set foot on the soil of Spain was General Tarif (“a Jew of the tribe of Simeon”), after whom the island of Tarifa, opposite Tangiers, was named. Another Israelite Berber chief, named Kaulan el Yehudi, followed the Arabs into Spain and, after the peninsula had been occupied by the Mussalmans, tried to raise a REBELLION AGAINST THEM. Among other Jews connected with the conquest of Spain were two sons of the Cahena, at the head of the army of Jerua.
stay down ,clown
Jews still live happily in North Africa especially Morocco (Maur-oc = maur land) where they are still most welcome today
💯💯
When you say Jews be specific. Because these fake Ashkenazi Khazarian Jews will take credit for something they were not involved in. So when you say Jews pls define that you mean Arab Jews or Black Jews or both. But definitely not white Jews
What ppl fail to understand is that Africa is extremely diverse gemetically...Ethiopians and somalians, and Nubians were and are closer related to Europeans than to West Africans/Bantu
I wouldn't say closer related, because West and East Africa are still Black people from the line of Ham. I would also argue that the only Europeans that are closely related to East Africans are the Greeks and the Romans, and then obviously the inter-mixing of the Arabs. Most Northern Europeans have Neanderthal dna, which majority of these Black African people do not have.
Most Ethiopians that have taken the DNA test are proven to be 100 percent African! can't deny science.

Thank you.
It's critical to understand Hamilcar Barca the father of Hannibal Barca Is the founder of the city Barcelona.
We have a book called The Royal African War Elephant and it is the first of its kind containing the sources of documents and images of the African use of the war elephant in sub-Saharan africa. Available on all online markets.
The Royal African war elephant
Interesting you say this, it is only sub-Saharan Africa or Black Africa that would use Elephants in war. If Hannibal was not fully Black, which I personally think he was, he was definitely part Black African, it has been stated that his father was full Black African, and his mother was a concubine slave of White European origin.
@@treycampbell3533 quite possible.
The Barcids founding Barcelona is an urban legend. Under the Ebro Treaty with Rome, Carthaginian influence in Iberia was confined to lands south of the Ebro River, while Barcelona is north of it. The main Spanish city of note that was founded by the Carthaginians is Cartagena (Qart Hadasht), which was founded by Hannibal's brother-in-law, Hasdrubal.

Its all bullshit. The moors didnt even rule all of spain and spain is a tiny peninsula in the south west of Europe. At that time the economic and cultural centres of Europe were in central and eastern europe, nowhere near spain

How many of you went into the islamic world as slaves ?
the Moors ruled europe for more than 800 years ? (16.min45) okay, not so much, it was majority of hispania, there were other Large empires at the time, Al-Andalus was big, strong and important for sure but one of a number of such important Empires.
After 500 years (750-1250) central Iberia was back in christian rulers, only in the south the Emirate of granada lasted 300 more years.
Also, if history is so wrong and Black Folks were involved all over, where have Black people in europe been then ?

North Africa and Spain have been long part of an european empire, the roman empire. During that time many european lived in Africa long before Arabs. Alger (Iconium) has been founded by Romans for example. Morocco and Spain were even part of the same roman district, the "diocesis Hispaniorum". After the fall of the roman empire, western Europe and north Africa has been invaded by germanic people such as Goths in Spain, Franks in Gaul and Vandals in Africa. Despite the fall of the empire, links have never really been broken between north Africa and Europe. They all shared the same christian religion and continued to have trade. In the 6th century north Africa was taken back by the eastern roman empire which controled Syria, Egypt and Palestine too. Then came Islam wich led to a profound ceasura between the islamic and the christian part of the mediterranean world. So North Africa had always had more relationship with Europe than with subsaharan Africa separated by a huge desert that was much more difficult to cross than the mediterranean sea.
Africans doesnt mean black. Africa is a roman name, they gave it to Tunisia after they have invaded it and it was inhabited by phoenicians (Carthag) who came from Middle East. So first people named Africans in history were not black. Moors, like Numids were not black. Most of berbers are not black, they even have lighter skin than Arabs. It is true that you also have some black berbers but they live in the southern parts of North Africa like Mauritania. So, it has been during a very short period that some black muslims dominated Spain : the Almoravid dynasty which originated from Mauritania and lasted 50 years before being overthrowed by Almohad who were Arabs.
If there were no Blacks in Northern Africa how did Germany at one point before the genocide of Nazis had dark skinned Germans pictures of the Moors have pigments of black
Aucun noirs n a dirigé l Europe et les almoravides n étaient pas noirs !!!!!!
Good breakdown thanks.
Exactly! "Mouros" for us Portuguese or "Maurus/Mauri" for Roman/Italians didn't refer to the same people necessarily. That's a vague term. For Romans Maurus/Mauri were the Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) and their Amazigh (Berber) armies. For Portuguese and Spanish Mouros were the Umayyad Caliphate, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids that occupied the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) in 8th-13th Century in Portugal and 8th-15th Century in Spain. In other words Arabs, Persians, Syrians and Amazighs (Berbers).
Portuguese culture since Medieval Times was influenced by a lot of people Celts, Visigoths, Romans, Phoenicians and also Muslim Moors (Arabs, Persians, Syrians, Amazighs). As was South Italy for example since the Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) 'cause they had territories/ports/cities all around the Mediterranean Sea since 1100BC. From their original Cities in Levante (Lebanon, Syria), to Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia where they built Carthage in 900BC (conquered by Romans in 146BC), Argelia, Morocco, South Iberian Peninsula, Malta, South Italy, South Greece.
Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) used Amazigh (Berber) cavalry. So did Romans in their North African Provinces in Mauretanea (Morocco and Argelia). Not to be confused with nowadays Mauritania, the the Country.
For us Portugal (Born in 1143) the Muslim Moors (Arabs, Persians, Syrians, Amazighs) occupation only took 106 years till 1249, when the last Sultan of Algarve was defeated.
African had never been of any European rather invasion to steal. There was never any European religion in Africa before Andalus Islamic development which Europe carry herself high

Verily there is no superiority of an Arab over a non-Arab or of a non-Arab over an Arab, or of a red man over a black man, or of a black man over a red man, except in terms of taqwa.

Why

This is an underrated comment
Already these are not Arabic numerals the real meaning but the FÉS numerals in reference to the oldest universities in the world where the origin of these numerals comes from. the Arabs simply erased them to make people believe that their origin is in the Middle East
Eventhough there's an argument that suggest Moors to be those of Mediterranean and Turkish Ottoman kelt, not in the slightest to be considered African, according to sources, Black Moors were said to be relatively wealthy decorated military commanders and highly sophisticated academics.
The Moors were the original black Berbers who lived in North West Africa. Migrations and race mixing lightened them up through the years.

Btw, tere's no such thing as a Black Berber, It's either your Berber or of Moorish origin or you aren't, there really isn't no in between. It's no different for a modern day Egyptian claiming to be an "Ancient Egyptian", the logic on both instances are flawed eitherway.

Probably because you understand that this video is ahistorical.
In England we have Morris dancers. I read that it used o be Moorish dancers. How did they get so far?
They traded
The first crusade was not that of Holy Land in 1095, but one issued by a former pope in 1063 to reconquer Spain. It recruited many christians from France. Even though that crusade wasn't too successful, the crusaders managed to capture singers, players and dancers from moorish Spain who were taken to France inspiring the trovadours (romantic music beyond the former religious chants). During the angevine empire, that style passed to England.
There's no connection whatsoever.

I am from north Morocco and I got light skin dark hair .I did my DNA 99% north African ( Amazigh) In history also my great parent lived in Al Andalus . Like many Moroccan the percentage of Arab dna is less than 1% in Moroccan. We do have Arabic culture bc islam 🤍and north African culture 🤍bc we r the native people of north of Africa . Morocco got oldest sapien skull means all humans are all Moroccan. And we are diverse in how we look like . We admire all races and all cultures .Moroccan got mixte little with Iberian at Al Andalus time . Moroccan got also mixte with our brother from sub sahar african countries ( dark skin) . Moroccan are proud to be African and Amazigh and Arab ( culture ). Some Arab came to North Africa and brought islam but got married to Amazigh berber women so the Arab dna is very little in North of Africa . Dna studies prove it . We still admire Arabic culture bc the believes but we r not Arab
Amazighs are mixed at least since Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) that came from Levante (Lebanon, Syria) and Roman Era. That just is incorporated in a North African label. I'm from Algarve, Portugal. We're not different visually. Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonçalo Ramos are also Moorish-Portuguese as i am. Best Regards from Portugal.

While north Africa is indeed on the African continent, is it accurate to call it African? Or is it more accurate to call it Mediterranean? I think its the case as mentioned below that the peoples and cultures of the Mediterranean basin have been in a multi millennial cultural and genetic exchange. The Anglo sphere’s ignorance of Africa as a monoethnic and genetic state represented by the peoples of West Africa is frankly bizarre and inexcusable.
Yes it’s more accurate to call it African. Like you just said it’s on THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA 🤷🏾♂️. Let me ask are you one of those people that call Egypt the Middle East???

@CanaryKin and @siminho10 Both of you are dead wrong. The muslim empire was centered around al-andalus and only with its decline did the center move to north africa. The first attempt was made by the almoravids who came from mauritania. They were succeeded by the almohads who were ruled by a family from Nedroma, an algerian city. Neither the almoravids nor the almohads were indigenous to the entity now called morocco. Both chose capitals in that entity for geopolitical reasons. As for the ethnicity of the Moors, they were Berbers. They were mostly brown-skinned people. They were in fact neither black nor white as some have made them to be. The europeans, in both art and literature, painted them as blacks in opposition to white europeans. The muslim armies also included blacks who converted to Islam. Slavery was an integral part of the Muslim empire and this very fact undermines the thesis that the moors were black-skinned people. As I have shown in a nutshell, this is the complex reality that the proponents of the opposite theses are unable of grasping.
Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, [3] And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

the Bible is also a history book
“I Loved Jacob, but Esau I Hated”
1 This is a divine revelation. The Lord spoke his word to Israel through Malachi.
2 “I loved you,” says the Lord.
“But you ask, ‘How did you love us?’
“Wasn’t Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the Lord. “I loved Jacob, 3 but Esau I hated. I turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the jackals in the desert.
4 “The descendants of Esau may say, ‘We have been beaten down, but we will rebuild the ruins.’
“Yet, this is what the Lord of Armies says: They may rebuild, but I will tear it down. They will be called ‘the Wicked Land’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is always angry.’ 5 You will see these things with your own eyes and say, ‘Even outside the borders of Israel the Lord is great.’

Right, a mathematics textbook is more important to a mathematics student, the same can be said with regards to a history student.
A history textbook is what's important to a history student.
It’s important to delve into history through reading, as images alone cannot provide a comprehensive understanding. It’s noteworthy that the Moroccan Sultans employed African soldiers in their armies. Some of these soldiers’ leaders were handsomely compensated by the Sultan, enjoying luxuries such as opulent houses, fine clothing, and companionship. However, their roles were confined to their military duties and they were not involved in the dynastic rule, the Moorish people in general, or the intellectual advancements of the time. These African individuals were hired warriors, their contributions primarily limited to their skills in warfare. Their lifestyle and compensation should not be misconstrued as having a broader influence on the achievements of the dynasties they served.
Why dont you cry more, that should help.
He was Black..
@@govinasimpson170 What they refer to as “black Moors” are "Abid Al Boukhari" or " The black guard of the Sultan", they are not ethnically Moors; they are African soldiers hired to fight for the Moors. Europeans who saw them on the battlefield with the real Moors called them “black Moors”. The Moorish movement in America originated from these African soldiers who went to america in slavery trades..
@@govinasimpson170 The Moors are Berbers, also known as Amazigh (Free people), they have their historical origins in Morocco and still live there today, the term “Moor” is derived from the Phoenician term “Mahurin”, which means "Westerners", they were named as Moorish kingdom 300 before JC. The Moors have white skin, while further south like in Mauritania they have a tanned complexion. However, they do not belong to the balck African ethnicity, typically associated with broad and flat noses. Can you see the difference? Do you understand the distinction between skin color and ethnicity? There are also dark-skinned individuals in India. Are they African? No!
But what does this have to do with who the Moors were?, like I said, the people of Morocco back then, do not look like the Moroccans now, and Mansa Musa was the richest man in the World and has links to family members that were Moors in Spain, so are you saying that these Moroccan sultans had more power than the richest man in the World?.
Did the African Moors develop Europe? Depends on what encompassed Europe at the time. And it depends on what you think 'Moors' are. moors simply means Muslim. Moors were not necessarily Sub Saharan Black. In the north of Africa is Egypt, Tunis, Libya and Morocco who are not black. There were Moors in Malta and Sardinia etc and they are not sub Saharan black.

Before anyone refers to the Roman Empire as the main influence of civilising of the European continent, do not forget all the other empires that existed before the Roman Empire.
In fact if you look back in history beyond the Roman Empire, you will discover that many of those that preceded the Roman Empire originated from the East and South of the Mediterranean.
Prior to those earlier empires, Europe was considered lands populated by barbarians. In fact, the Romans, you could say, were civilised by these earlier empire builders, and could only continue to spread the knowledge they learned from these earlier conquerors.
I think it would be more realistic for us to admit to the fact that our collective knowledge has always been built on older knowledge throughout history and from peoples who came before us from other civilisations that were more advanced than ours at an earlier time.
Europe wasn't civilized by anyone, it developed its own civilizations. Greece and Rome were the most advanced civilizations of their time. Europeans already conquered half the known world with the Indo-European expansions in the Bronze Age, then they did it again with the Greeks and Romans, then they did it again in the modern era.
I stand corrected, as not all Europeans were considered barbarians by the ancients, mostly the Western and Northern Europeans.
No doubt, the Romans acquired much of the learned knowledge from the Greeks and possibly also the Anatolians and made much further advancements and refinements. But let's not forget the Romans were not in existence when the Greeks were at their zenith, and were considered not much more than barbarians.
The Greeks, in turn, were only able to develop their civilization on the backs of the Egyptians and Mesopotamians. Which if you well know, are not considered parts of Europe.
And I'm sure, despite the little that is known today, for sure, where the Egyptians and Mesopotamians piggybacked their learning from, to think any civilization could actually magically become civilised without the help of earlier peoples is nothing short of naivete.
Let me go a step further by pointing out that if it was not for the conquest and occupation of the Iberian Peninsula by the Umayyad Empire, Greek philosophy, mathematics and even medicine would have been lost forever because of the fall of Rome Empire and the ensuing dark ages.
Just as no man is an island, so neither is any collective of people able to advance on their own steam alone.

Morocco, the moor's land. Of course you won't find it in any Sub Saharan country.
In Morocco first of. And in Portugal and Spain that were heavily influenced by "Muslim Moors" (Umayyad Caliphate, Fatimids, Almoravids, Almohads, Nasrids) or in other Words Arabs, Amazighs, Persians, Syrians. Thousands of Moors in Portugal gave out without a fight, converted to Christianity and embraced a new Kingdom/Religion. So there's still hundreds of Moorish-Portuguese families. Mostly in Lisboa, Alentejo, Algarve but also in Madeira and Azores Islands 'cause those Islands were populated in the early 1400's by Moorish-Portuguese families or the so called "New Christians". Cristiano Ronaldo's family has Moorish-Portuguese ancestry from Madeira Island. As does Gonçalo Ramos that just signed for PSG and his family is from Algarve (South Portugal). As does my mom's family originally from Algarve and afterwards from Ilha Terceira, Azores Archipelago. The Corte-Real Family. You can see it in João Vaz Corte-Real, Portuguese Navigator that by 1472 was sent to Denmark by the King of Portugal to re-establish the alliance between the Portuguese Kingdom and the Danish Kingdom that were united by families. In the process he explored the Ciasts of North America, Canada and Greenland. Has did his sons Gaspar Corte-Real and Miguel Corte-Real in the following years. And João Fernandes Labrador. All Navigators from Ilha Terceira, Azores Archipelago. That's how Terranova-Labrador (Newfoundland-Labrador) got its name. Also known in Portugal back then as "Terra dos Corte-Reaes" (Land of the Corte-Reaes) and "Terra do Bacalhau" (Land of the CodFish). The "Muslim Moors" (Arabs, Amazighs, Persians, Syrians) never left. Only the Muslims that chose not to convert and embrace the Kingdom of Portugal. The Reconquista weren't battles between races but between different Kingdoms and Religions. What we call Arabic/Moorish influences are treasured in Portugal and are part of our culture. Its present in toponimic names for example. There 146 Municipalities, Villages, Cities and Regions with Arabic Names. Most start by "Al". Algueirão, Alcabideche, Algês, Alcântara, Alcobaça, Alcácer, Aljustrel, Alandroal, Alentejo, Albufeira, Altura, Algarve, etc. It's shown in food, art, music, architecture, gold filigree, ceramic tiles (Azulejos), etc. But those are mostly Arabic. As both Portuguese and Spanish languages have hundreds of Arabic words adaptions.

@brixcosmo6849 Brother, i just want to rectify one detail: Moors has nothing to do with the nations you described as Moors, moors as a name originate back from The Mauritania Tinjitana Kingdom "Old Moroccan" there people were and still being named Moors, and if you look for "Morocco" as name of Country you can see it clear **Moor-roco**, the use of Moor to describe all Muslims is like the one Americans use to describe the Latinos as **Spanishes**, if we come back to the history the Conquest came from the land Of Morocco via Tanger, i think that why we have this confusion, but by DNA and Fact Moors that were in Iberia are More related to Morocco than to any other today's countries, example in Portugal you have "Alcalla del moro" and else, even the dynasties that ruled there were originally from Morocco especially in Almouravides Almouahads and Marinides... even in the time of the Umayad, the rulers were Arabic, but the Army and the population of the kingdom were mostly North Africans and local converted people.
I went to portugal, and i was surprised how we look alike, i can't differentiate between a Portuguese and a Moroccan just by look.
@@med8895 i understand your point. Basically i'm saying this nothing to do with Ghana, Benin, Congo, Ethiopia, etc. I have a lot of friends whose ancestors are from those regions and even thuse find these American narratives stupid AF! 'Cause we still use the word "Mouro" for people that are "Morenos". And "Moreno" for us is a guy like Cristiano Ronaldo if we're talking about skin color and we also use it for hair color. Its our word for brunette. People in the North of Portugal still call "Mouros" to people in Lisboa, Alentejo and Algarve. And it's nothing racist or any type of prejudice. It's a reference to History 'cause in the Southern parts of Portugal thousands of Moors gave up without a fight and embraced the Portuguese Kingdom becoming Portuguese "New Christians". But in our case "Moors" ment Muslim of any type of color. We know by records and art the majority of those were more Arab/Amazigh/Berber looking than actually black. Not that we care about that we just don't like history being spoken with generalizations like Africans vs Europeans. Talk about Kingdoms and Civilizations. Many of these early Civilizations were multiethnic. Racism was a virus created by Northern Europeans centuries after the begining of the Age of Discovery started by Portuguese around 1419 after conquering Ceuta in 1415. Back in those 1400's 1500's Portuguese allied with Ghana Tribes, Kingdom of Kongo, Ethiopia, Ibduans, China, Japan. Portuguese narried Africans, Asians and Indians in Brasil. Slavery was a business all over the World. It had nothing to do with racism till it started to do when ignorant theories started to be spread by some and that virus caught millions of ignorants or not so ignorants that just wanted an excuse to do it. We are not different. My skin color is like Cristiano Ronaldo's. Gonçalo Ramos is more Moroccan than some Moroccan's 'cause they both come from Moorish-Portuguese families. The great majority of Portuguese coukd blend in as locals in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Greece, etc. Moors is vague. Maurus/Mauri for Romans were the Amazigh/Berber tribes of Roman Provinces of Mauretanea and that was actually nowadays North Morocco and Argelia. Not Mauritania the Country. For us "Mouros" basically were all Muslim Moors and that would refer to all of those. The conquest of Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) wasn't done only by Almoravids and Almohads, Kingdoms born in the Maghreb Region of Morocco/Argelia. The last Emirate to fall in Spain, the Emirate of Granada was ruled by Nasrids and those were Arabs. Or looked like Arabs. We could call them Moorish-Spanish 'cause most of them were born in Spain. Or Spanish, Andalusians or Al-Andalusians. They most definitely weren't Congolese. In the end of the day were always speaking of mix of Arabs, Amazighs/Berbers but also thousands of Persians and Syrians that the Ummayad Caliphate brought to North Africa in the 7th Century. I know that by the 8th Century when the occupation of the Iberian Peninsula started the Umayyad Caliphate was already in decline and being substituted by Fatimids or others in Arabia. In the end of the day even the Almoravids and Almohads were under the umbrella of the Sultans of Mecca. But it's all very confusing. I've seen a lot of videos and there were so many disputes inside the Islamic World in that Era that is hard to keep up. But i understand you don't like to be called "Arabs". We also don't use it in Portugal like a lot of USA Citizens call "Arabs" to anyone that looks slighty Arabic (whatever that means) independently if that person is from Morocco, Saudi Arabia or Lebanon. If Cristiano Ronaldo was a regular guy he'd be called Arab or Latino in USA. We speak of People by their Kingdom, Civilizations, Nationality, period! A Moroccan is not an Angolan, a Chinese is not an Indian, a Portugal is not a Swedish. So we avoid labels like African, Asian, European. We use it in terms of Geography not to refer to collective ethnicities or cultures 'cause that's plain nonsense. Morocco is also visited by thousands of Portuguese every year. I personally has an Architect love its Architecture.

Moors were NOT Sub Saharan Black as pictured in the video ad. They were arabic, Nor African, much like Egyptians. Some developments were made, certainly. But Northern Europe was highly developed in its own right.

The Umayyad caliphate, whose ruling class were Arabs from Syria got Europe out of dark ages. 😂😂😂😂😂 Why do blacks want to take credit for what Arabs and morrocans did??
Moor was a derogatory term used by Christians to describe Muslims in Spain. Moor did NOT mean black African. There were black soldiers as mercenaries in Muslim armies who were called “ black moors “ but they were never part of any ruling elite or native population anywhere outside of subsaharan Africa and Sahel region.
Also moors did not civilized Europe. This is totally a LIE. In fact Europe was gradually recovering itself after 8-9th century and Islamic invasion of North Africa and Iberian peninsula stopped that progress

The Moors were black fool 😂 I know you can't stand the truth but it is what it is😂😂
only in fanatasy land does southern spain mean all of europe so when greeks and romans conquered egypt they civilized all of north africa.
Yes the moors picked up europa and brought civilization back to them ...thats why every secret society honors the Fez....most castles and cathedrals were created and built by moors....🙏🤚
Moors were mainly in Spain, most castles and cathedrals aren't there.
@alwa4735 sure..and a biological man can get pregnant 👍
Right on
Great comment alot of people don't know about the Fez in those secret society. They also honors the Koran
@rogernewsomejr4634 🙏..the Koran, Torah, bagavagita...etc are science books ....these secret societies around the world can end many debates that plaques modern times but then power will be gone...sad..
All music, poetry, prose, novel writing, dancing, musical structure in European civilisation is from Moorish Spain.
Moro > Moreno > Black Man
Mora > Morena > Black Woman
Blackberry in Spanish = Mora
If a North African person with stereotypical Arab facial features were to go to Spain and not tell anyone that he or she is from North Africa, most people would assume that person is a Middle Eastern.
If a Black person goes to Spain, most likely the people there are going to call that person a Moreno or Morena.
Yes They Did
And they left a gorgeous architecture legacy, plus cuisine influence. Alhambra is one of the best examples.
I don’t understand what do moors in Spain and Portugal have to do with black Africans. There was never any black civilization anywhere outside of subsaharan Africa.

@@st3019 They had black slaves, that's about it. They often castrated the males and used the females as sex slaves. Now blacks idolize the people who enslaved, castrated and raped them.
The way you know the moors were black is because everytime they are mentioned in European writings they are almost always referring to someone black. There are very little European writings that describe an Arab as a Moor
plus they’d say the word “swarthy” which means dark skinned
@@andreharris144 dark skinned yes but not black

@@cedricroney1475 “Moor” is an exonym used by Iberian Christians to refer to Iberian Muslims. They were people of Arab, Berber and Iberian origin. They were not black.

Moors are not Arabs but people of Mali, Somali, Sudan, Mauritania, Tuareg, Niger and fulani race. Painting with Arab colours won't help you.
Thanks some Light skinned North Africans are trying to revise history by spewing lies about Moors not being of South Saharan Africans are there not Black Libyans Moroccans and Mauritanians
@@nisigate There is nothing negro about historic Berbers or Moors. They are a Northwest African desert coastal people.

This is not true! The Umayyad occupation of the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) was made by the Umayyad Caliphate (Arabs) that conquered all Arabia, Mesopotamia, Levante and North Africa in 7th Century. And then occupied the Iberian Peninsula (Al-Andalus) from 8th to 13th Century in Portugal (1249). From 8th to 15th Century in Spain (1492). In terms of Kingdoms it was the Umayyad Caliphate, Fatimids, Almoravids, Almohads and Nasrids. In other words thousands of Arabs, Amazighs and also thousands of Persians and Syrians that the Ummayad Caliphate brought from Mesopotamia and Levante to North Africa. Amazighs (Berber) armies were used by everyone in North Africa. Phoenicians used them. Romans used them. Arabs used them. Pretending that all the Knowledge that Arabs brought to Iberian Peninsula didn't came from Arabia, Mesopotamia, Levante and Egypt is just being biased. In the end of the day the influences left in the Iberian Peninsula are Arabic. The algebra that we use is Indian-Arabic. Our languages (Portuguese and Spanish) have hundreds of Arabic words adaptions. And Nautical Science, Navigation, Astrolabe, Sextant none of that came from Africa. Iberians were sea people at least since presence of Phoenicians in 1100BC. Phoenicians (Carthaginian Empire) spread all around the Mediterranean Sea coming from Lebanon, Syria where they emerged in 3000BC. The fact that they used berber cavalry in the Maghreb 'cause they set the Capital of their Carthaginian Empire in Carthage, Tunisia built in 900BC, doesn't make them African.
Portugal was born in 1143 (12th Century) and defeated the Muslim Moors (Arabs, Persians, Syrians and Amazighs (Berbers)) in 1249 (13th Century). That's before Mansa Musas's Mali "Empire" that only florished under the control of the Islamic World and as vassals of the Sultans of Mecca. Portuguese Navy, Nautical Science, Navigation, Boat construction is the result of several Schools the Kingdom implemented bringing Specialist from all the World. In 1415 Portugal started the Age of Discovery by conquering Ceuta (Muslim Moors City in North Africa) and started sailing to get to India around Africa in 1419. And did it with boats and skills that changed World's Nautical History forever. In 1500 Portuguese were already the first Global Empire of the World with territories in all Continents. From China to Brasil. What Portuguese found in Southern Regions of Africa were primitive tribes not even comparable to Egypt that by that time was already quite primitive when compared to European Empires! Stop propagating lies you're embarassing yourselves (Americans) and real Africans! Best Regards from Portugal, American Kangz!

Europe was already civilized hundreds of years earlier. The Roman Empire? The Greeks? Sure, the Moors invaded during the dark ages but there was still civilization in Europe at the time. The Byzantine Empire existed, for one. And the Moors only took over Spain, not all of Europe. I can concede that some advances may have spread over Europe from Moorish Spain, but overstating their influence this much is just crazy.
it was not overstated they brought ship building mathermatics university 17 university they made you what you were lionardo divenchi who you celebrate, a moor did a fix wing flight hundered of years before it work but didnt landed well the moors built europe it was the most significant development in histore just read your history where britain france traslate the more maths and scientific method to their language
@@sulner9997 You can barely spell, I don't trust a word you type. The Moors had a massive population and invaded a weal europe (ineffectively). Look at Africa today. They've still not built or innovated a damn thing. An embarrassment.
@@sulner9997 I think their influence is big but overstated. Renaissance didn't start from Spain where moors were mainly located and they didn't built Europe. Spain wasn't as influential as other european countries (where moors never ruled). Moreover, their rule wasn't always as peaceful and beneficial for native population of tha land they colonized.
@@alwa4735 oxford university was built from Spain through the Jews, also the french plus they translate their science books and rewritten it in their local language, the Renaissance couldn't happen in a vacuum you need a develop country to piggy back off and now we know it was moorish Spain, like the united states' rebuilt Europe Japan , Taiwan , south Korea
@@sulner9997 Oxford wasn't built from Spain. This doesn't make any sense. Why moors would build universities in a far away countries? Why reaissance didn't originate from Spain?
United States borrowed money for some european countries after WWII and it wasn't done without their own interest in it. Some countries used those money in a better way and that's why there were different outcomes in creating successful economies. US can't take credit for achievments of Germany, Japan and the rest.
You are right that renaissance could't happen in a vacuum. It started in Florence, Italy. There was an increased inerest in achievments and art od ancient Greece and Rome. Muslims, to their credit, copied and preserved knowlegde from many ancient manuscripts from those civilisations.
Alhambra
A subject of interest.
Certainly they had a heavy influence in the Mediterranean world, including southern Spain and southern Italy. Southern France.
Yeah it involved hundreds of years of slavery for Islamic religions.
The Moors enslaved the Mali, you forgot that part. Mansa Munsa spent all his money, told his mercenary army of Moors and North Africans, Egyptians and Persians, that he had another gold mine discovered, after a year of waiting, His Mercenary Army began grabing the people for Mansa Munsa's debts. This started the Mali slave trade.
No, the Moors did not enslave Mali. Mali is a West African country that was once part of the Mali Empire, a powerful and wealthy state that flourished from the 13th to the 16th century. The Mali Empire had trade and diplomatic relations with the Moors, who were mainly based in North Africa and Spain. The Moors did not conquer or enslave Mali, but they did influence its culture, religion and architecture.
@@eingoluq oh yes they did, the university of Timbuktu has 10 of thousands of scrolls and records of the enslavement. Mali had no army of it's own. Mansa Munsa tried but gave up and went with all mercenary.
@@constantinople777christens5 everybody enslaved people form everywhere else. But that doesn't mean the entire of Mali wad enslaved by the Moors. That is asinine.
You're so full of shit you don't even know Mansa Musa was born into Islam already. The area was already converted to Islam. And it is illegal and haram to enslave another Muslim. In fact most of north Africa including Berber converted to Islam to prevent themselves from being enslaved.
So wtf are you talking about? The moors and Mali fought a lot. But they didn't enslave the entire lot of them. Mali sold slaves local and forgeign including Berber slaves to the Moors.
But to sit there and suggest they were enslaved by them means you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
One thing we do know is that after the reconquista the Barbary pirayes which included Black Africans, raided Europe and took white people as slaves. Some found their way to areas in and around Mali.
@@constantinople777christens5 Wait did you say Mali had no military of their own? now I know you pulling shit out of your arse...
You, the ignorant dumb ass that you are just said, Mali, the country that was an Empire, that expanded and dominated Western Africa and held sway over large swats of territory, with the largest gold reserves in the world, who was so large that when they marched through Egypt with their king and damaged the Egyptian economy, had no army to protect him and his riches?
You are either insane or a moron. The Mali empire army was famously large, and not to be trifled with. They even had names for their ranks of men. For instance, a Sangaran, was a commander with 10,000 men under him, while a Sere is a commander with 1,000. There were names for other sizes too. They even had terra cotta statues of their cavalry units. my god man you are a dumbass.
🤣🤣🤣
Please answer this. If The Mali Empire had no army how did they conquer so many other states? How did they defend their own independence for so many hundreds of years? With so much wealth someone would have long since invaded and taken control of the source of all that wealth.

The moors are the Amazigh people, the indigenous people of North Africa, we have our own gene pool. We ,the North African are NOT from Sub Sahara Africa.
