I am a Bantu. A Kikuyu from Kenya. When I was a child, I could hear a Congolese musician Kanda Bongo man's song "Tika kolela" and thought he was saying "Tiga korera" which is in Kikuyu. Surprisingly, it has the same meaning. "Stop crying". That's when I realized how similar we are as Bantus.
Does anyone in this comment sections speak Xhosa? I hope you know your language “Eli lama sabachthani” is written in Matthew 27:46 of the Bible. Microsoft translator attests to this as did google translate before the algorithm removed it
@@aidan2849 No. That is not Xhosa. Or you might have misspelled the words so badly that they aren't even clear to me. I speak Xhosa. But, I don't think what you're writing is Xhosa. Maybe the word "eli lama" Means in English "this of the" The words "sabachthani" Is not a real word and has no meaning as far as I know.
I'm from Rwanda and I am always amazed when I meet Shona, Kikuyu, Zulu or Douala people; our language have many similar words (Ingwe>lion/tiger, Inyama>meat, Imvura>Rain, Zuba>Sun, Mwana>Child, Gukama>milk a cow... We also share lots of names like Shaka, Mugabe, Musare, Ngoma, Ngali, Muthoni, Nyagura etc. Sometimes I play Richard Bona's music and can easily sing along to his songs/lyrics. We should take these colonial borders down, we are ONE people!
Wow! This is awesome. I'm Zulu by the way. For us ingwe>leopard, inyama>meat, imvula>rain, mntwana>child. The similarities are insane. Ancestors of the Zulu people are the Nguni so judging by this the Nguni people definitely migrated from the north between 1000 AD - 1200 AD
I’m African American, our ancestors who arrived from kingdom of Kongo, and kingdom of Ndongo Congo and Angola, were the only groups who were allowed to bring their language and culture into the USA. Which is why ppl from there notice some bantu words in our AAVE, example Lu-fuki = funky .
@@beforethenextstep305why were the only group allowed to bring their culture to the USA? Today there is even more revealing cuktured in usa other than Congo
Then you must be a champion at playing victim? How does it feel to paint Europeans and Middle eastern(who brought tech and civilization to Africa) people as villians and yourself as owners (who committed genocide of Southern African trbes)???
My grandmother is from the Bakundu Tribe of the original Bantu people. She met a person from Gabon and could understand her perfectly despite the geographic distance between the two regions.
My dad and mum are from Ngolo- Batanga/ Ilondo Ngolo, one of the oldest Bantu tribes in Cameroon, legend has it that the Bantu migration started from that region, bordering Nigeria and Cameroon close to the bight of Biafra. My dad understands Swahili to an extent and he understands Lingala perfectly. Bakundu, douala, bekoko, bafaw etc is just a broken down language of the Oroko clan in Cameroon. About the Bantus in the diaspora, people actually don't know that the oldest slave trade fort in West Africa is in Cameroon, it's somewhere around Bimbia, a buried history by both French and Britain. In every African diapora whose leanage dates back to the transatlantic slave trade, they'll have a percentage of cameroon.
Its like how Spaniards and Italians can still understand each other, sorta, kinda, if they speak really slowly and clearly. In fact, english, spanish, french, and italian share a lot of words, depending on who conquered whom and when. I couldn't necessarily hold a conversation with a Frenchman, but I could probably say 'yes' or 'no'. Cause its all the same words. Bantus were the African version of Romans and Greeks.
Xhosa....Ipi Ntombi Iam ....Wapi / Mpe Ndumba Yame (Kikongo)....Nkosi/Mokonzi( lingala).....Mbote, mbote, mbote : salutations in Xhosa and lingala, salutation and "good" in Kikongo ( kahle/kakuhle - malamu/bolamu ). Mfasi , in lingala mwasi, in Chiluba also mfasi , and Ngombe, Nkomo for the cow.... BUT Kikongo and Lingala have a decimal counting system identifying a million, efuku, what does evidence they did write ( lingala could have higher numbers adopted from kikongo , it is after all a kind of esperanto to trade . Bakongo did have their own hieroglyphs. They wrote.) Lingala, is spoken very completely in Makanza, but that form is hardly understood elsewhere .
I did, but lost to much teeth. How will I say a fish? ( intlanzi)? ...A little child? ( umntwana umceci )-... My nickname in Middelburg- Cape - by the employees of the agricultural college Grootfontein - 1977 ?- was Uthanda Abantu...But I forgot most.... Thando has to be close to Uthanda....
im a muntu (singular for bantu) from southern africa, loved this. by the way, as much as the term bantu is coined from linguistic similarities among bantu ethnic groups where "NTU" is the common factor in these languages, the word "bantu" actually means "people" with "umuntu" meaning "a person", these 2 words may slightly vary from in spelling and pronunciation from dialect to dialect eg Motu or mutu or batu etc but it means the same thing
Bantu doesnt mean people. This probably the most inaccurate statement i always come across. So i will correct you: Ntu means spirit. There is no word for people in most bantu language. People or person is a european term you don't find it in all cultures. NTU means spirits our ancestors referred to eachother as spirit not as person or people. We are spirits bantu. Ntu - is the spirit, mu-ntu - is i the spirit . Ba Ntu - is we the spirit. Not sure if you believe in it. But Ntu did not originated in Cameroon i am not where they get there information from. And ntu is not 3000 years old it predates adam and eve
But manje in the dictionary it says Bantu/umuntu means People/person... That said, this means that we r the only tribe that deserves to be called people these others they must use their own term coz they not from the generation of Ntu..
These ppl like pushing their own narrative n agenda if the kois r the oldest how do they explain the Adams calendar n ancient pyramids that r in the areas the koi n san didn't live in..n the Bantus r the largest tribe in Africa.. If we jst arrived how is it that we r so many then..
@@abcminime well not entirely inaccurate, in Zulu Bantu means people, Abantu the people and umuntu a person so his or her version is correct do not dismiss it.
I'm Bantu from Kenya. Muntu just means person in our language. Also BAntu hail from various sections of central africa. Also Why do white men insist on retelling our history. The nilotes are jus that, people around the Nile. They call themselves the Nubi as is the river and their God was Anubis, before advent of Islam n Chrisitianity. African History, is told through written records, but via dirges and songs sang during traditional ceremonies such as Initiation. Your not a native if you have to be taught your culture via external sources. you would know them by heart as its passed down via everyday living.
European, Asian, and North and South American history are all really interesting but I really appreciate this video and would love to see more videos about African history since it's so rarely talked about compared to the other continents. Keep up the great work!
why would it be talked about in other continents? it is 1. not interesting 2. not important to anyone else or the world for that matter 3. so little was recorded so there is so little to investigate 4. the rest of the world has sooooooo much history to learn, so much that is actually relevant and important to us. I'm sorry for being honest but I would much rather learn about Ancient Rome, Greece, Persia, Ancient China, the middle ages, the enlightenment etc
@@lewistaylor2858 I'll some up what you're really saying friend Africans have done nothing of importance therefore deserve no acknowledgment. Hell I truly believe early paleolithic did more than Africa excluding south African and egypt.
@@lewistaylor2858 That is so off the marks and rails Africa below the Sahara has plenty of history in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, Somaliland, Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Uganda, and more yeah.
I think you have to first agree on what you mean by diversity or level of diversity. Is it skin color, nose/face shape, height, language, cradleland or haplogroups? Otherwise, there are only two: Sub-Saharan Africans (Sub-Sahara proper + Horn of Africa) and North Africans. Morphologically, even excluding skin tone, I think there is a lot of variation among Sub-Saharan Africans. Even the Bantu don't look alike at all in the vast areas they occupy and I think the wide nose is overstated. The Nilotes and Chadic groups have as many appearances as the number of groups and cannot be described as having wide noses. The pygmies are often lumped together as one even though they are very diverse in their own way across much of Central Africa. I guess the Khoi-San too.
Africa is hardly diverse, apart from Horn Africans, North Africans & Khoisan the rest of africa is basically all wide nosed black bantus & west africans with high birth rate. I wouldn't call that diverse.
u a European Dutch man not a real African, only south african on paper. European south Afrikaner, no different than a black person from Europe or america
Your people were inscribed in the Summerian stone tablets under the scription "A.N.T.U" the sons and daughters of the God "AN." Your people inhabited the first five cities, one of those cities was called "E.D.I.N" this the Bible Eden (White washed Mzungu lies that concoured your minds). You come from the original people. And don't you forget this.
Absolutely, and I’m not too sure with the location on of the Khoisan people at 0.33 I always knew the Khoisan to be the only ethnic/endemic people to South Africa in particular the cape/western coastal regions
@@jakekrijger9009 From the north of the Western Cape, through to the Northern Cape and into some parts of Namibia and Botswana etc. They were nomads who only settled after the Europeans landed.
@@ruvilakazi4237 interesting, not something that was taught to us in school or university, we where made to believe that they pushed north into to Kalahari desert because of the Bantu expansions as well as the European invasion. Nice to finally understand the true origin of these people, fascinating.
I'm from the Bantu group that became Luo. Our group got mixed up with the Luo during the Luo migration, we call ourselves Abasuba or Luo Suba. I'm proud to be Luo Nilotic and also proud to be Bantu......Africa is very mixed.
@MegLowAsk and you'll be answered or just do your own research. I'm talking about the Luo Abasuba group from Kenya. Don't just comment for the sake if commenting.
@Dfw Fqdefqw No you don't comprend what this idoit is talking about .I am African and this not his first video on African poeple .this idoit don't know shit about us nor that he never been in Africa to talk about the bantu migration. Plus he say bantus are from west Africa do you know how big is west Africa? Did he know the tribes on this big region. And Cameron is not in west Africa by the way
😂😂Damned👿😈..NOTHING about it being called Ophir in the bible. What about the migrations of the sons of Mizraim down to Lake Victoria populating South Africa approx 3,500 t0 3,000 BC right after the flood(smh) By default it was OVERFLOWING with beautiful trees, intoxicatingly fresh water, grapes the size of your hand and bananas big as your thigh🤣🤣🤣 King Solomon set up Naval bases all along Africa when he sold spices to East India🤣🤣🤣Black Jew Navy Seals who taught India/Arabs/Thai how to cook like that. Don't believe 😈😈
Some examples of such Bantu states include: in Central Africa, the Kingdom of Kongo, Lunda Empire, Luba Empire of Angola, the Buganda Kingdoms of Uganda and Tanzania; and in Southern Africa, the Mutapa Empire, the Danamombe, Khami, and Naletale Kingdoms of Zimbabwe and Mozambique and the Rozwi Empire.
you are right I'm south Africans. but looking at this countries like Kenya,Tanzania, Zambia,Namibia their language sounds like us.in south africa before 1994.in Limpopo we were listening to radio Bantu and there was bantu education. they are far North but I think we are one.
@@achalinaantonio6287 absolutely true, the Bantus don’t just speak similar languages, but genetics through DNA has proven that they came from the same stock. 65% of all slaves taken to the Americas were of Bantu origin.
Hello, I am Cameroonian. That place where the Bantus originated from, is around the Rio del Rey area. Precisely in the NDIAN DIVISION of Cameroon 🇨🇲 where you find ancient Bantu tribes like the Ngolo, Balue, Balondo, Batanga, Barombi...etc and settlements like Mundemba, Manja, Meka, Ekondo titi, Bafaka...etc
In a study, the people of Balondo in Cameroon understands Lingala. Bolingo is as popular there as in DR Congo. They lip sing with melodies like Biantondi Kasanda of Dr. Nicco.
Boo, it's divisions they created against us. I don't call myself that term bantu and am from Africa.. They created divisions everywhere so we fight one another, it's a spiritual war so open up your pineal gland and see clearly
Just got my ancestryDNA results and i have 28% Cameroon, Congo, West Bantu Peoples! This video is amazing! And i love my bantu brothers and sisters ❤️❤️
@@veronicajata3121 to say you have bantu DNA it means you can be any tribe in africa from South East West Central Africa.That is nonsense.Bantu is not a tribe its a collective noun to group certain people together by white people.Unlike Europe Africans are very diverse and they tried to limit and lessen our greatness and diversity with the bantu word.Yes bantu is common in most languages but it does not mean we are of such ancestry. I am Zulu who descended from Nguni from Central Africa.So which time were the Nguni descendants of" Bantu"
I wish we knew more about Africa pre-Bantu Expansion. The Khoisan languages are so mysterious, and it would have been amazing to see them spoken across a much wider area.
I’ve always found the Bantus, their history & languages fascinating. Growing up in South Africa during Apartheid, we were taught that the Bantus only arrived in that area of Southern Africa when Europeans did, in an effort to lessen their claim to the land. Another aspect of Bantu history that would be fascinating as a topic is the mass exodus of people from the east coast of South Africa, then known as Zululand. When Shaka was building the Zulus into a powerful & warlike tribe, millions of people from other tribes, legitimately fearing extermination or assimilation, fled into the central & northern parts of South Africa & Zimbabwe. It was an incredibly tragic episode but had a significant impact on the region. If I remember correctly, it was called the “Mafekane”. Please consider making a video about this episode. Thanks for your outstanding videos.
It called Mfecane. Most of the history of Mfecane is false. You will get told more than a million people died. Yet the zulu tribe was less than 4 million. If u look deeply into it to check which tribe died you find nothing. MFECANE was just a migration of people who didn't view Shaka Zulu as their king so they left. One of them was ZWIDE who was the leader of the Ndwandwe. The second one was Mzilikazi wakwa Khumalo who was Shaka general. He is the one that settled in Zimbabwe and took a new tribal name Ndebele. Shaka did attack Faku, the king of the Mpondo people but there was never a war instead they left port shepstone and settled in eastern cape. He also attacked the king of the Sesotho people Moshoeshoe they was never a war instead they saved by some big rocks in some mountains that they were able to push to kill the invaders and some migrated to Zambia and took a tribal name Lozi (sesotho). The death of Mfecane were less than a million
And i am so sorry for your intelligence .and you really believe this bullshit they feed you in school. How that hell the bantus arrived 5he same as the Europeans that don't even make sence. This africa come one how the hell Europeans arrived in africa in the same time as africans ? That don't make sense. Bro read your the history more before the Dutch it the Portuguese lead by a explorer called batelemound diaz .yes he did met the koisand first .but he was tald by the koisand that they was other people that they got problems whit in the interior and the koisand was thalking about the Zulus who dint really lived or inhabited the coast lines .but it doesn't mran that they wasn't there at all .they was there for thousand off year way before Europeans .but on defferent location and territories .in sout africa .this bullshit theory use by white supremacists to justify their presence in Africa is to easy specially base on bullshit and insult to Africans intelligence. Europeans no where in africa before the Africans. And they not gonna win this bullshit talk they wanna to court to justify their presence in Africa. They can't win this .
I'm bassa of Cameroon and we are Bantu. We are told by our elders that we actually migrated to Cameroon from the nile river in Egypt. Yes, the original natives of central Africa were the Forest people formerly known as the pygmees one of those groups being the BAkA people.
I am a Bantu from Cameroon as well, Balong tribe. It's true, the Pygmies (Baka) of Cameroon are the original inhabitants of the land and narrate how the Bantu pushed them into the forest as they migrated into the area.
Problem is that the person who compiled the video seems he got all his information from recent European sources, the first wave of Bantu coming into main land Africa was around 720BC. We didn't just appear in west Africa out of nowhere

Find more about yourself friend. This origins history is completely wrong. First of all there are no Khoikhoi people, it is the Khwekhwe people and they are the product of Bantu and Abathwa (the San) union. I don't know where these people get their history from because everything they say is a bunch of Caucasoid rubbish. We do not originate from West Afrika. We migrated from East to West, Sudan being the focal point of our migration towards: 1) West {Central African Republic, Cameroon, all the way to Nigeria(derived from Niggro lands Niggeria) & Ghana(formerly AKA The Kingdom of Yahuda)} and to Atlantic slavery by Jews, Spanish and Portuguese. 2) South Central {DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswane and then South Africa (Contributing to the diversity of the region i.e. the Sotho, Pedi and Tswane originating from the Lozi people in Zambia) and Namibia being native to the Nama Abathwa people (AKA Bushman or San who were later slaughtered in their millions by the Germans under the rule of Otto von Bismarck). 3) South East: The Ngoni People (AKA Nguni from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation) {to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and then South Africa contribution to more diversity of the region i.e The Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa region (Thembu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Bhaca, Xesibe, Bambo AKA Mfengu (Fingoes from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation) etc. Most of all we did not migrate for the stupid lame reasons that are mentioned but were running from the likes of the Caucasoid EVIL KIND, Islam and Jews of whom together have teamed up over the past 2000 years and have killed over 200 million of our people (Bantu) to date and still counting. I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence, Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our history alone because we know exactly who we are.

Anytime in history when an ethnic group expanded their territory quickly it was because they were the first to discover a new technology. Either a new weapon that helped them win wars and conquer new land, or a new farming technique that caused their population to grow.
Thanks for this history! I am a bantu from Tanzania, my tribe is Pare ( from Pare mountains on the south of Kilimanjaro mountain)! My language is Kipare which in our own history we call the language Chathu
Bantu means "people", if you ask anyone in a Bantu speaking country they all have the same name this varies depending on how much they were isolated or influenced by outside traders but it's still the same. That's how you know that you are a Bantu person.
The Tiv tribe of Nigeria is a Bantu tribe. We can be found in Cameroon as well. We still have similar words with the Zulu. Our history has been handed down about our migration from the Congo
As a Bantu I'm proud of our mother language Kiswahili and the conquest of Southern and East Africa made by my ancestors. The only group that made conquest in Africa. With love from Namibia ❤ vantu va nkondo ✊✊
Bantu are the majority in Namibia and their languages is very close to Kiswahili. I can understand over 50% of Kiswahili words though I set foot in east Africa.
The people at 3:08 and 3:23 are examples of what we have been trained to identify as "black skin" or "almost totally black", but take a closer look: their skin is still brown, just a darker melanistic brown than the other people represented in the video. The 3:08 people have a subtle purple iridescence to their complexion, but still brown. Coal is black, hair is black, not human skin . . . .
R M The reason why many Africans and particularly Africans throughout the Diaspora call themselves black is that the have no true knowledge of their ancestors identity in Africa via the enslavement of their ancestors for centuries in the so called New World and they are still mentally shackled to the people who classify themselves as “white”. Clearly black people are the creation of “white” people; in other words, black people are the illegitimate “children” of so called “white” people.
I am always proud when I travel to DRC, Malawi and/meet any Bantu person, we always have these words which are similar in a all tribes. Any house you enter in a village, the way some things are done...you identify with them. It tells you that, we were one some time back. Love from Kenya.
Cushites and Pygmies were in the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania long before the Bantus. Also the Khoisans were in South Africa long before the Bantus like the Zulu.
You keep repeating small numbers and dismissing the Rwanda genocide as not part of Bantu migration as if the Bantu were native to East Africa. The Bantu killed off the Khoisan people who inhabited the vast majority of the territory of Africa because they did not have iron making skills. The Bantu still continue to kill the Pygmies because they don't have weapons to defend themselves. The Bantu could not kill off the Nilotics and the Cushitics because these two groups were the Nubians and knew how to make iron weapons so the Bantu expanded to San, Khoisan and Pygmy territories and killed them off.
I think you're on that Negrocentric history. The Khoisan never lived in Northeast Africa they inhabited South Central/Western Africa, the San people inhabited South Eastern Africa. The Bantu inhabited a location in West/Central Africa and so every land they now occupy outside of their original homeland has been stolen from other indigenous Africans. I also notice you never talk about the plight of the Pygmies because it clearly shows how the Bantu are killers and land thieves. Go watch videos about the Pygmies' extinction the Bantu are responsible of and how they discriminate and treat them worse than Whites ever treated Bantu slaves.
The Panther That guy who writes at anthromadness is not someone who has any degree in genetics it's just a guy who gives his own opinion and there are many out there, so I wouldn't base and entire group of people genetic history on a guy's hobby. Also if you have read that article you know about genetics you would have known he's talking about BASAL Eurasian which means Eurasian with NO Neandertal admixture. Again the Khoisan never lived in Northeast Africa. Let me explain to you the migration because you seem to only believe what you want to believe. The Horn Africans are not from Asia they are from the Horn of Africa and the Levant, they descend from a population that lived around the Nile from Ethiopia to around the Tigris/Euphrates in the Levant and on the Western side of Arabia from the Gulf of Aqaba all the way to Yemen. That population had NO Neandertal and Denisovan admixture meaning they were not White or Asian, they also were not Negroid as they didn't have Homo Erectus admixture. When the Homo Sapiens started spreading from the Horn of Africa around 80,000 BC most stayed around the Nile and Tigris/Euphrates but others moved deep into Europe, Asia, West Africa where Archaic hominid already lived and so they mixed with Neandertal in Europe, Denisovan in Asia, Homo Erectus and some other unknown Archaic hominid in Central/West Africa. In the Levant, around 10,000 BC the descendants of those who went deep in Europe and Asia come back and invade the Levant they were known as Caucasoid Hunter Gathers and Eurasian Hunter Gathers. They learn farming from the people of the Levant, some locals mixed with them some didn't. These 2 groups of mixed and unmixed coexisted along side, around 6000 BC groups of mixed farmers spread back to Europe and Asia to bring farming. As time passes the mixed group grew in number, they abandon their languages such as the Sumerian and adopt the local's Semitic language and they start spreading fast taking territories from the unmixed population, they spread Westward then Southward going south in Arabia. The unmixed original population all migrate back to East Africa in 3000 BC in what becomes known as the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic migrations. The mixed population takes over the Levant, Arabia and gives birth to the Akkadian, Assyrians and so on...to modern day Arabs. The Horn of Africa is where Anatomically modern human are from and that's where the San people are from like everybody but they lived in South East Africa with other local people who were Cushitic and Nilo-Saharan . On the other hand, the Khoikhoi descend from a group of Eurasians who penetrated East Africa around 1000 BC and migrated further to the South and settle with other San people because the Cushitic who migrated 2000 years before during the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic migrations had already settled all the way to Northern Mozambique and so the Khoikhoi had to move further South and Inward to settle with the San people who lived there.
Is Egypt in Western Asia? because last time I checked they had Egypt in the Middle East which as you put it is in Western Asia. This is the game Eurocentric play and it's well known.

Your language map is wrong. I say this as a "Bantu person". The Western Cape in South Africa has millions of Xhosa people, they aren't only in the Eastern Cape.
The map is from years ago when Xhosa mainly stayed in Eastern Cape not recently when all moved to Western Cape for better opportunities. Whole video is about how Bantu moved south from up north 200 years ago and settled in South Africa

We migrated from East to West, Sudan being the focal point of our migration towards: 1) West {Central African Republic, Cameroon, all the way to Nigeria(derived from Niggro lands Niggeria) & Ghana(formerly AKA The Kingdom of Yahuda)} and to Atlantic slavery by Jews, Spanish and Portuguese. 2) South Central {DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswane and then South Africa (Contributing to the diversity of the region i.e. the Sotho, Pedi and Tswane originating from the Lozi people in Zambia) and Namibia being native to the Nama Abathwa people (AKA Bushman or San who were later slaughtered in their millions by the Germans under the rule of Otto von Bismarck). 3) South East: The Ngoni People (AKA Nguni from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation) {to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Eswatini and then South Africa contribution to more diversity of the region i.e The Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa region (Thembu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Bhaca, Xesibe, Bambo AKA Mfengu (Fingoes from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation) etc. Most of all we did not migrate for the stupid lame reasons that are mentioned but were running from the likes of the Caucasoid EVIL KIND, Islam and Jews of whom together have teamed up over the past 2000 years and have killed over 200 million of our people (Bantu) to date and still counting. I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence, Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our history alone because we know exactly who we are.
@Rocky Fletch the encounter you speak of is conflict not "encounter" per se. They weren't always in transkei but they didnt arrive after settlers as your people claim so. these settler even tried to erase the history of mapungubwe history so the "bantu are foreigners and enemies" narrative can be pushed to divide africans
@Rocky Fletch thats generally accepted history told by whites, the xhosa had long settled before the white came, infact there was a time when xhosa people were not known as the xhosa but the nguni. they assimilated into khoi san land when they moved south as you said hence they adopted the xhosa language (which is khoi and nguni) and intermarried . they clearly wouldnt have formed such relations in a short space of time. most importantly the nguni/xhosa didnt conquer the khoi san as the xhosa assimilated into khoi language and culture.
All this guy did was ask a question. All of you berating him should produce your own videos rather than watching a video you deem to be unfit to be told by anyone other than the "originator"..y.e you're here for two reasons. 1. To watch or 2. To talk down to others... take a back seat.
The Artman the oldest skelton found in kenya and Tanzania is an cushite. dont deny the obvious u aint native to east africa. bantus origin is in west/central africa.
The Artman give me 1 thing that backs up ur claim, u cant. all i have to do is search thousands of different sources proves the bantu expansion happened.
lots of genocides, various Khoi and San related lineages were completely wiped out, races that were unique and had been genetically isolated for over two hundred thousand years. If it wasn't for the Bantu expansion we would have a lot more different kinds of humans around today, many different Pygmy and Pygmy related groups as well.
You have no proof of that unlike the proof we have of your seed of 👹 genociding entire tribes from every continent you ever visited. Tasmania Australia Namibia Congo USA the list goes on. Mass holocausts everywhere your species go.
@@Cobbidothat's called assimilation last time I checked the only people that started a genocide against the khoisan were the Germans in Namibia who also killed a bantu group it's called the nama and herero genocide
Imhotep Genius us diaspora people with our European names forced on to us, have EVERY RIGHT to be PROUD of Africa too and want to see her rise! It’s not our fault our ancestors were human trafficked away from their lands...they were VICTIMS of the Europeans!
I think that your videos are wonderful and so informative. One thing, however, is that the Khoi and the San are distinctly different peoples. They have been linked together for a long time, but the San are physically different from the Khoi, and are mostly hunter-gatherers. The Khoi are hearders and pastoral peoples. They both have languages that have an inordinate amount of click sounds, which did lump them together. Modern DNA studies have shown that they are quite different populations.
@@FlagWaverFlagBearer There are many ancient esoteric temples, holy sites and areas of archeological interest within Africa and as far east as Iraq that predate the Bantu invasion. I will not disclose the exact locations of these primeval sites but they all mention and depict the story of how Africa became darker. That is all for now.
@@FlagWaverFlagBearer My friend I'm not going to spoon feed you sources over RUclips, I've kept the locations a secret for obvious reasons. As I stated in my original comment that is verified via ancient esoterical real sources, the original Africans are alot lighter in skin complexion than the current stereotypical Bantu featured African. The original Africans are very peaceful spiritual people who foresaw the Bantu genocidal invasion, hence the hidden wisdom keys they concealed from the uninitiated.
@@zoomed66 Again, considering West Africans aren't Bantu, which original Africans are you referring to, and who wiped them out? If the Bantu wiped out the originals, where did west Africans come from? I think it's a simple question. Did both west African Twa and central African Bantu wipe them out? Or are you just a racist that up until this point thought that West Africans were Bantu because you think they look the same?

South ,east and central Africa belong to us (Bantus ) those who don’t want to live with us they should leave we kicked out Europeans and Arabs no other ethnic groups helped us so Now the nilote people wants to mess with us very soon we’re going to take Rwanda and Uganda back and they will go back to Somalia or Ethiopia if they don’t like us they should stop speaking our languages and appropriating our cultures
MASOSHI A-NGOLA Shut up! Bantu languages and Semitic languages have completely different words and grammar. Are you even a Bantu or just some African American?
As a Zulu from South Africa, most of this information was highly inaccurate. The Bantu didn't change the face of Africa as we know it. Bantu is a cluster of languages, NOT a race or ethnicity. As a descendent of our King uShaka, I can safely say the Khoi and San people were here looooong before we migrated. Stop trying to "Europinise" our people.

This is a lovely overview. When I lived in Zimbabwe I learned chiShona and a little bit of Ndebele (which is a Northern Zulu dialect), and just from those examples I can listen to music from lots of other African countries and understand a lot of what's being said. Language families are so awesome.
The Tswana/Sotho People not mentioned in the video,have a fair amount of Khoisan geanology, typically a lighter complexion than the average Bantu,and mostly on the Eastern and Central parts of Southern Africa.
if you want to know how eastern and south africa was before the bantu expansion read the new study "reconstructing prehistoric african population structure" by P Skoglund, it was basically hadza/mota like people,khoisans, and south-cushites (dates 3100 yrs ago).
Vince the superb truth hurts doesnt it, i'll trust ancient dna testing over whatever you have to say. and i didn't say cushites were in south africa, south africa = khoisan land, cushites though were as far south as tanzania (south east africa)
The only people eastern bantus in kenya found were pygmies who were related to the twa of the rwanda and the congolese pygmies. They were absorbed by the bantus.
Vince the superb like i said they found a 3100 yr old south cushite genome in tanzania which predated the bantu expansion in the area. masaai themselves are part cushitic not full nilotes, iraqw and other now EXTINCT south cushite tribes were in the area before bantus.
Swahili has never been written in the Arabic Script. Maybe the ancient scripts of Zanzibar were written in Arabic. But as far as school goes, Swahili has always been taught and written in the Latin alphabet. Also, while Swahili itself is a hybrid Bantu language with Arabic loan words, 90% of its speakers can neither read nor write in Arabic.
No, they did not flee. But Hebrews in Rome fled persecution to their land in Africa. And also Jerusalem is in Africa and in Zimbabwe. Not the fake one imposed over there in the fake Israel. Africa is the true israel
@Isha Worships God Almighty only Subsahara means "south of the Sahara Desert:" That's the scientific term. Negroland is racist term, but no one uses it. If Bantus would be the original hebrews, genetic study would show it. Both the Y-dna and Mtdna of Bantus have West-African origin. The original/ancient Hebrews had T1 and J1 Y-dna haplogroup which is semitic.
I appreciate how you actually discuss this stuff Mason. Most Americans couldn't give less of a crap about Africa. Thanks for not presenting Africa as the "shithole" it's often portrayed as in the US.
Fun fact: As a born and bred African, I learnt more about African cultures, countries and languages when living in West London. Europe as a multicultural urban hub has some good aspects to it. :)
Guys, I'm talking about the rule, not the exceptions. In the most populated countries it's not like that at all, like in the US and Brazil, that are the countries that received the highest number of enslaved African people.
@Luka I'm afraid we are not taught a fair share at all about African History in Western schools. Africans have pre-colonial wrighting for sure, their own creation (Ethiopian Ge'ez, fro examplr, or even in arabic systems, but they do. But maybe our ignorance about it is just a proof of what my point is about. People barely know that Africa is a continent and not a country, now imagine telling them that Ancient Egypt an ancient African civilization, and that the Black King Masa Musa was the richest men in human history. Ask randomly what people on the streets of Paris, New York or London can tell us their impressions about the Bantu Expansion. This neglection is understandable because of the imperialism (that is still fully working). We need more, way more, especially in countries where a great part of theit people is made of the descendants of a recently enslaved people.
@Luka Sub-saharan Africa has 300.000 years of human history; is the most geneticly diverse parte of the world; most modern developed nation sucked the most of their natural and human resources in recent history; and the metal from the hardware of your cell phone or notebook you are texting right now comes from a chain of exploited work of their natural and human resources (still there). I'd consider a little longer before saying it's history 'hasn't contributed much for shaping the modern world'.
I totally agree with you, I,m from bantu group and we are many in African countries, and there is some similarity in the words we speak, for example, the word naawe , with means in English, (with you) that word is also used by the Zulu of south Africa, when I look at the face of bantu people I can absolutely understand them.
You make a mistake at 1:30 when you say that the descendants of the Italics became the modern French Italians and Portuguese. That's true of the languages, but only partly true of the people. While undoubtedly many Italians settled in the various provinces of the Western Roman Empire, the French, Portuguese and Spanish of today are still largely descended from the original Iberian and Gallic people who lived there before the Romans. The Bantus, on the other, did largely displace most of the native Pygmies and Khoisan, because these people were hunter gatherers and the Bantu introduced and adapted the African-style agriculture developed in West Africa. The going was slow because West Africa is a Monsoon climate similar to India whereas Central Africa is an equatorial rain-forest similar to the Amazon. In East Africa, which is largely savannah except for the highlands and near the great African lakes, so the pastoral Nilotic peoples (such as the Masai) tended to dominate. By the time they reached South Africa, Bantu expansion was limited by the temperate climate that didn't allow African-style agriculture. The Cape has a Mediterranean climate, which is why Mediterranean crops introduced by the Dutch and French ancestors of the Afrikaners dominate there.
Displacement due to the Bantu agricultural style as opposed to the hunter gatherer style used by the Khoi is often unmentioned by some who've concluded that most of the Khoi were displaced through genocide. Masaman mentions the assimilation that took place, like in the case of the Xhosa people who now have on average 30% Khoi San DNA. No honest person would argue that conflicts didn't arise as a result of the Bantu migration, but I'm often shocked by the assertions that the Khoi in southern Africa were displaced through genocide only, with little or no evidence to back up that claim
“ but only partly true of the people “ Same thing with the Bantus, there are still plenty of pre-Bantu populations such as pygmy and Khoisan. On top of that large populations intermarried. And similarly how Rome brought the Latin script, Bantus brought agriculture, That doesn’t in itself replace the “people “ it just replaced the lifestyle and culture
1630/5000 La première forme de domination est la population. Aujourd'hui c'est gênant de le dire mais le succès des Bantous est indéniable même en Afrique de l'Est !!! sans les bantous, l'afrique de l'est serait un village en plein air. L'arrivée des Bantous au Kenya a permis de développer les villes de Nairobi et Mombasa, le Kenya est l'un des pays les plus tribalistes seul le problème est que économiquement, politiquement et démographiquement les Bantous ont pris le relais dans tous les domaines! !!! ! c'est la même réalité en tanzanie !!! sur parle ici d'afrique de l'est mais si on se concentre sur l'afrique centrale d'origine des bantous il faut noter que tous les pays bantouphone en afrique centrale sont les plus urbanisés en afrique avec une urbanisation supérieure à 90% au Gabon, 72% en Guinée équatoriale, 67% au Congo Brazzaville, 56% au Cameroun, 45% en RDC. La corne de l'Afrique est urbanisée à moins de 25%, 27% pour le Kenya (seules les grandes villes modernes comme Nairobi entièrement construites par les kikuyu).

I think the Bantus followed Chad through Sudan to Uganda while going South to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Katanga and Angola, because of the massive forest in the Congo region. They formed strong kingdoms that would later conquer southwards and when their was overpopulation they came northwards in two groups, the great lakes people from the lower Congo and the lower south people to the coastal regions. The great lakes languages have a connection as well as the ones in the coastal regions both of Kenya, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania.
As a Rwandan (not an expert), I'd like to point out a mistake you made around 5:00. Tutsis and Hutus although having originated from different places do not differ much linguistically. The different "dialects" within Kinyarwanda and Kirundi are mostly geographical and have nothing to do with ethnicity. By the way, although I understand why some people may think otherwise, referring to the Hutu/Tutsi/Twa as ethnicities/ethnic groups is probably incorrect since the only difference between the three are a pre colonial form of social classes and a few physical differences that don't mean much today.
@vicent sykes im not rwandan im latin american Its a fact that that the UN tried to have one rule over the other. And it was set up that way because of belief of their origin making them more fit to rule. Someone can be bi racial. So someone could be hamite and bantu. But i don't care about that
Nah. I don't support that. We already have English. Like if I forced Africa to speak Zulu you wouldn't like that. So best keep your language in Kenya and Tanzania.

Well as a Jamaican I’ve inherited 16% SE Bantu. And I even know the tribes according to GEDMATCH. Some tests will say I’m of course West African, but Kenyan, Central, South, or East African. We are taught that we are West but DNA tests are saying beyond what we’ve been told. One of the best records are the slave ship records to check. Nice vid.
Peace Kenya yeah. My parents are Jamaican and they descended from the rebels (Maroons). In fact, my mom, father’s brother, sister, and brother were tested and came up will approximately fully African with the SE Bantu round the teens. I had to research, so I looked into the slave ship records and saw Africans from ALL OVER were shipped. They even had some from Cape Hope, shockingly. So we are PREDOMINATELY West African but I came up with East and unbelievably a whole bunch of tribes. Some were Lesotho, Tswana, Luo, Lemba, to name some. I even had 9% Levant😳. Could explain our running technique😂. I wish I could show the results here. Very interesting to me and quite a surprise.

My dad and mum are from Ngolo- Batanga/ Ilondo Ngolo, one of the oldest Bantu tribes in Cameroon, legend has it that the Bantu migration started from that region, bordering Nigeria and Cameroon close to the bight of Biafra. My dad understands Swahili to an extent and he understands Lingala perfectly. Bakundu, douala, bekoko, bafaw etc is just a broken down language of the Oroko clan in Cameroon. About the Bantus in the diaspora, people actually don't know that the oldest slave trade fort in West Africa is in Cameroon, it's somewhere around Bimbia, a buried history by both French and Britain. In every African diapora whose leanage dates back to the transatlantic slave trade, they'll have a percentage of cameroon.
Its like how Spaniards and Italians can still understand each other, sorta, kinda, if they speak really slowly and clearly. In fact, english, spanish, french, and italian share a lot of words, depending on who conquered whom and when.

Xhosa....Ipi Ntombi Iam ....Wapi / Mpe Ndumba Yame (Kikongo)....Nkosi/Mokonzi( lingala).....Mbote, mbote, mbote : salutations in Xhosa and lingala, salutation and "good" in Kikongo ( kahle/kakuhle - malamu/bolamu ). Mfasi , in lingala mwasi, in Chiluba also mfasi , and Ngombe, Nkomo for the cow.... BUT Kikongo and Lingala have a decimal counting system identifying a million, efuku, what does evidence they did write ( lingala could have higher numbers adopted from kikongo , it is after all a kind of esperanto to trade . Bakongo did have their own hieroglyphs. They wrote.) Lingala, is spoken very completely in Makanza, but that form is hardly understood elsewhere .
I did, but lost to much teeth. How will I say a fish? ( intlanzi)? ...A little child? ( umntwana umceci )-...
My nickname in Middelburg- Cape - by the employees of the agricultural college Grootfontein - 1977 ?- was Uthanda Abantu...But I forgot most....
Thando has to be close to Uthanda....
As a Bantu person I understand most words spoken in Lingala and Xhosa as well as Swahili. We have many words that are similar.
And you xhosa think you invented click sounds. Guess what you stole them from the Koisan.
im a muntu (singular for bantu) from southern africa, loved this. by the way, as much as the term bantu is coined from linguistic similarities among bantu ethnic groups where "NTU" is the common factor in these languages, the word "bantu" actually means "people" with "umuntu" meaning "a person", these 2 words may slightly vary from in spelling and pronunciation from dialect to dialect eg Motu or mutu or batu etc but it means the same thing
Bantu doesnt mean people. This probably the most inaccurate statement i always come across. So i will correct you: Ntu means spirit. There is no word for people in most bantu language. People or person is a european term you don't find it in all cultures. NTU means spirits our ancestors referred to eachother as spirit not as person or people. We are spirits bantu. Ntu - is the spirit, mu-ntu - is i the spirit . Ba Ntu - is we the spirit. Not sure if you believe in it. But Ntu did not originated in Cameroon i am not where they get there information from. And ntu is not 3000 years old it predates adam and eve
But manje in the dictionary it says Bantu/umuntu means People/person... That said, this means that we r the only tribe that deserves to be called people these others they must use their own term coz they not from the generation of Ntu..
These ppl like pushing their own narrative n agenda if the kois r the oldest how do they explain the Adams calendar n ancient pyramids that r in the areas the koi n san didn't live in..n the Bantus r the largest tribe in Africa.. If we jst arrived how is it that we r so many then..
@@abcminime well not entirely inaccurate, in Zulu Bantu means people, Abantu the people and umuntu a person so his or her version is correct do not dismiss it.
I'm Bantu from Kenya. Muntu just means person in our language. Also BAntu hail from various sections of central africa. Also Why do white men insist on retelling our history. The nilotes are jus that, people around the Nile. They call themselves the Nubi as is the river and their God was Anubis, before advent of Islam n Chrisitianity. African History, is told through written records, but via dirges and songs sang during traditional ceremonies such as Initiation. Your not a native if you have to be taught your culture via external sources. you would know them by heart as its passed down via everyday living.
European, Asian, and North and South American history are all really interesting but I really appreciate this video and would love to see more videos about African history since it's so rarely talked about compared to the other continents. Keep up the great work!
why would it be talked about in other continents? it is 1. not interesting 2. not important to anyone else or the world for that matter 3. so little was recorded so there is so little to investigate 4. the rest of the world has sooooooo much history to learn, so much that is actually relevant and important to us. I'm sorry for being honest but I would much rather learn about Ancient Rome, Greece, Persia, Ancient China, the middle ages, the enlightenment etc

@neyou good thing comments don’t require questions.
Africa is such a diverse continent
Andrew Coke very true
I think you have to first agree on what you mean by diversity or level of diversity. Is it skin color, nose/face shape, height, language, cradleland or haplogroups? Otherwise, there are only two: Sub-Saharan Africans (Sub-Sahara proper + Horn of Africa) and North Africans. Morphologically, even excluding skin tone, I think there is a lot of variation among Sub-Saharan Africans. Even the Bantu don't look alike at all in the vast areas they occupy and I think the wide nose is overstated. The Nilotes and Chadic groups have as many appearances as the number of groups and cannot be described as having wide noses. The pygmies are often lumped together as one even though they are very diverse in their own way across much of Central Africa. I guess the Khoi-San too.
Prince of Greater Somalia Khoisan isn't correct, it's khoi-san because these are two different groups of people... The Khoi(Khoi Khoi) and the San.
Prince of Greater Somalia
North Africans are berber the indigenous people of north africa we aren't arabic fucking idiot.
Africa is hardly diverse, apart from Horn Africans, North Africans & Khoisan the rest of africa is basically all wide nosed black bantus & west africans with high birth rate. I wouldn't call that diverse.

100% Bantu here and still speak one of the original bantou languages ( Bandjoun) from west Cameroon. Hello my people!!!!!
I’ve always found the Bantus, their history & languages fascinating. Growing up in South Africa during Apartheid, we were taught that the Bantus only arrived in that area of Southern Africa when Europeans did, in an effort to lessen their claim to the land.
Another aspect of Bantu history that would be fascinating as a topic is the mass exodus of people from the east coast of South Africa, then known as Zululand. When Shaka was building the Zulus into a powerful & warlike tribe, millions of people from other tribes, legitimately fearing extermination or assimilation, fled into the central & northern parts of South Africa & Zimbabwe. It was an incredibly tragic episode but had a significant impact on the region. If I remember correctly, it was called the “Mafekane”. Please consider making a video about this episode.
Thanks for your outstanding videos.
It called Mfecane. Most of the history of Mfecane is false. You will get told more than a million people died. Yet the zulu tribe was less than 4 million. If u look deeply into it to check which tribe died you find nothing. MFECANE was just a migration of people who didn't view Shaka Zulu as their king so they left. One of them was ZWIDE who was the leader of the Ndwandwe. The second one was Mzilikazi wakwa Khumalo who was Shaka general. He is the one that settled in Zimbabwe and took a new tribal name Ndebele. Shaka did attack Faku, the king of the Mpondo people but there was never a war instead they left port shepstone and settled in eastern cape. He also attacked the king of the Sesotho people Moshoeshoe they was never a war instead they saved by some big rocks in some mountains that they were able to push to kill the invaders and some migrated to Zambia and took a tribal name Lozi (sesotho). The death of Mfecane were less than a million
Major Lloyd very interesting. Still would be a fascinating episode to learn more about.

This origins history is completely wrong. First of all there are no Khoikhoi people, it is the Khwekhwe people and they are the product of Bantu and Abathwa (the San) union.
I don't know where these people get their history from
because everything they say is a bunch of Caucasoid rubbish. We do not
originate from West Afrika. We migrated from East to West, Sudan being the
focal point of our migration towards:
1) West {Central African Republic, Cameroon, all the way to
Nigeria(derived from Niggro lands Niggeria) & Ghana(formerly AKA The
Kingdom of Yahuda)} and to Atlantic slavery by Jews, Spanish and Portuguese.
2) South Central {DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswane and
then South Africa (Contributing to the
diversity of the region i.e. the Sotho, Pedi and Tswane originating from the
Lozi people in Zambia) and Namibia being native to the Nama Abathwa people (AKA
Bushman or San who were later slaughtered in their millions by the Germans
under the rule of Otto von Bismarck).
3) South East: The Ngoni People (AKA Nguni from Caucasoid
ignorant BAD pronunciation) {to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe,
Eswatini and then South Africa contribution to more diversity of the region i.e
The Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa region (Thembu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Bhaca,
Xesibe, Bambo AKA Mfengu (Fingoes from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation)
etc.
Most of all we did not migrate for the stupid lame reasons that are
mentioned but were running from the likes of the Caucasoid EVIL KIND, Islam and
Jews of whom together have teamed up over the past 2000 years and have killed
over 200 million of our people (Bantu) to date and still counting.
I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who
Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence,
Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are
concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our
history alone because we know exactly who we are.

Anytime in history when an ethnic group expanded their territory quickly it was because they were the first to discover a new technology. Either a new weapon that helped them win wars and conquer new land, or a new farming technique that caused their population to grow.

@R M theres darkskined people in africa because there outside all day like me
R M The reason why many Africans and particularly Africans throughout the Diaspora call themselves black is that the have no true knowledge of their ancestors identity in Africa via the enslavement of their ancestors for centuries in the so called New World and they are still mentally shackled to the people who classify themselves as “white”. Clearly black people are the creation of “white” people; in other words, black people are the illegitimate “children” of so called “white” people.
I am always proud when I travel to DRC, Malawi and/meet any Bantu person, we always have these words which are similar in a all tribes. Any house you enter in a village, the way some things are done...you identify with them. It tells you that, we were one some time back. Love from Kenya.

Cushites and Pygmies were in the Congo, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania long before the Bantus. Also the Khoisans were in South Africa long before the Bantus like the Zulu.
The Panther and before the dutch were the khoisan
You keep repeating small numbers and dismissing the Rwanda genocide as not part of Bantu migration as if the Bantu were native to East Africa. The Bantu killed off the Khoisan people who inhabited the vast majority of the territory of Africa because they did not have iron making skills. The Bantu still continue to kill the Pygmies because they don't have weapons to defend themselves. The Bantu could not kill off the Nilotics and the Cushitics because these two groups were the Nubians and knew how to make iron weapons so the Bantu expanded to San, Khoisan and Pygmy territories and killed them off.
I think you're on that Negrocentric history. The Khoisan never lived in Northeast Africa they inhabited South Central/Western Africa, the San people inhabited South Eastern Africa. The Bantu inhabited a location in West/Central Africa and so every land they now occupy outside of their original homeland has been stolen from other indigenous Africans. I also notice you never talk about the plight of the Pygmies because it clearly shows how the Bantu are killers and land thieves. Go watch videos about the Pygmies' extinction the Bantu are responsible of and how they discriminate and treat them worse than Whites ever treated Bantu slaves.

That guy who writes at anthromadness is not someone who has any degree in genetics it's just a guy who gives his own opinion and there are many out there, so I wouldn't base and entire group of people genetic history on a guy's hobby. Also if you have read that article you know about genetics you would have known he's talking about BASAL Eurasian which means Eurasian with NO Neandertal admixture.
Again the Khoisan never lived in Northeast Africa. Let me explain to you the migration because you seem to only believe what you want to believe.
The Horn Africans are not from Asia they are from the Horn of Africa and the Levant, they descend from a population that lived around the Nile from Ethiopia to around the Tigris/Euphrates in the Levant and on the Western side of Arabia from the Gulf of Aqaba all the way to Yemen. That population had NO Neandertal and Denisovan admixture meaning they were not White or Asian, they also were not Negroid as they didn't have Homo Erectus admixture. When the Homo Sapiens started spreading from the Horn of Africa around 80,000 BC most stayed around the Nile and Tigris/Euphrates but others moved deep into Europe, Asia, West Africa where Archaic hominid already lived and so they mixed with Neandertal in Europe, Denisovan in Asia, Homo Erectus and some other unknown Archaic hominid in Central/West Africa. In the Levant, around 10,000 BC the descendants of those who went deep in Europe and Asia come back and invade the Levant they were known as Caucasoid Hunter Gathers and Eurasian Hunter Gathers. They learn farming from the people of the Levant, some locals mixed with them some didn't. These 2 groups of mixed and unmixed coexisted along side, around 6000 BC groups of mixed farmers spread back to Europe and Asia to bring farming. As time passes the mixed group grew in number, they abandon their languages such as the Sumerian and adopt the local's Semitic language and they start spreading fast taking territories from the unmixed population, they spread Westward then Southward going south in Arabia. The unmixed original population all migrate back to East Africa in 3000 BC in what becomes known as the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic migrations. The mixed population takes over the Levant, Arabia and gives birth to the Akkadian, Assyrians and so on...to modern day Arabs.
The Horn of Africa is where Anatomically modern human are from and that's where the San people are from like everybody but they lived in South East Africa with other local people who were Cushitic and Nilo-Saharan . On the other hand, the Khoikhoi descend from a group of Eurasians who penetrated East Africa around 1000 BC and migrated further to the South and settle with other San people because the Cushitic who migrated 2000 years before during the Savanna Pastoral Neolithic migrations had already settled all the way to Northern Mozambique and so the Khoikhoi had to move further South and Inward to settle with the San people who lived there.
Is Egypt in Western Asia? because last time I checked they had Egypt in the Middle East which as you put it is in Western Asia. This is the game Eurocentric play and it's well known.
Mason did the Xhosa click! Damn son, I'm impressed...
Even if you didn't do it well, i think it's cool you at least tried
I don't speak Xhosa though, so you may or may not have nailed it. Just saying lol

Amazingly correct information.... Being a Bantu myself, I got to learn even more about myself.
Lewis Taylor very correct
Stop lying you not black.
The informations on this video is not correct.
Your language map is wrong. I say this as a "Bantu person". The Western Cape in South Africa has millions of Xhosa people, they aren't only in the Eastern Cape.
The map is from years ago when Xhosa mainly stayed in Eastern Cape not recently when all moved to Western Cape for better opportunities. Whole video is about how Bantu moved south from up north 200 years ago and settled in South Africa
This origins history is completely wrong. First of all there are no Khoikhoi people, it is the Khwekhwe people and the are the product of Bantu and Abathwa (the San).
I don't know where these people get their history from
because everything they say is a bunch of Caucasoid rubbish. We do not
originate from West Afrika. We migrated from East to West, Sudan being the
focal point of our migration towards:
1) West {Central African Republic, Cameroon, all the way to
Nigeria(derived from Niggro lands Niggeria) & Ghana(formerly AKA The
Kingdom of Yahuda)} and to Atlantic slavery by Jews, Spanish and Portuguese.
2) South Central {DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswane and
then South Africa (Contributing to the
diversity of the region i.e. the Sotho, Pedi and Tswane originating from the
Lozi people in Zambia) and Namibia being native to the Nama Abathwa people (AKA
Bushman or San who were later slaughtered in their millions by the Germans
under the rule of Otto von Bismarck).
3) South East: The Ngoni People (AKA Nguni from Caucasoid
ignorant BAD pronunciation) {to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe,
Eswatini and then South Africa contribution to more diversity of the region i.e
The Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa region (Thembu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Bhaca,
Xesibe, Bambo AKA Mfengu (Fingoes from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation)
etc.
Most of all we did not migrate for the stupid lame reasons that are
mentioned but were running from the likes of the Caucasoid EVIL KIND, Islam and
Jews of whom together have teamed up over the past 2000 years and have killed
over 200 million of our people (Bantu) to date and still counting.
I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who
Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence,
Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are
concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our
history alone because we know exactly who we are.
@Rocky Fletch Xhosas have always been in the western cape but the increase in numbers is for "better opportunities"
@Rocky Fletch the encounter you speak of is conflict not "encounter" per se. They weren't always in transkei but they didnt arrive after settlers as your people claim so. these settler even tried to erase the history of mapungubwe history so the "bantu are foreigners and enemies" narrative can be pushed to divide africans
@Rocky Fletch thats generally accepted history told by whites, the xhosa had long settled before the white came, infact there was a time when xhosa people were not known as the xhosa but the nguni. they assimilated into khoi san land when they moved south as you said hence they adopted the xhosa language (which is khoi and nguni) and intermarried . they clearly wouldnt have formed such relations in a short space of time. most importantly the nguni/xhosa didnt conquer the khoi san as the xhosa assimilated into khoi language and culture.
You still havent done west africa..whats up with that? You have a huge nigerian following! You're awesome Masaman!

alanbev you do realize he’s part Black right...
forgot to mention the genocide they commited
lots of genocides, various Khoi and San related lineages were completely wiped out, races that were unique and had been genetically isolated for over two hundred thousand years. If it wasn't for the Bantu expansion we would have a lot more different kinds of humans around today, many different Pygmy and Pygmy related groups as well.
You have no proof of that unlike the proof we have of your seed of 👹 genociding entire tribes from every continent you ever visited. Tasmania Australia Namibia Congo USA the list goes on. Mass holocausts everywhere your species go.

I think that your videos are wonderful and so informative. One thing, however, is that the Khoi and the San are distinctly different peoples. They have been linked together for a long time, but the San are physically different from the Khoi, and are mostly hunter-gatherers. The Khoi are hearders and pastoral peoples. They both have languages that have an inordinate amount of click sounds, which did lump them together. Modern DNA studies have shown that they are quite different populations.
The original Africans are a lot lighter skinned than the Bantu, due to the Bantu expansion of terror Africa became darker.
Source?
@@FlagWaverFlagBearer There are many ancient esoteric temples, holy sites and areas of archeological interest within Africa and as far east as Iraq that predate the Bantu invasion. I will not disclose the exact locations of these primeval sites but they all mention and depict the story of how Africa became darker. That is all for now.
@@zoomed66 You have still provided no source. Also, considering West Africans aren't Bantu, where did they come from?
@@FlagWaverFlagBearer My friend I'm not going to spoon feed you sources over RUclips, I've kept the locations a secret for obvious reasons. As I stated in my original comment that is verified via ancient esoterical real sources, the original Africans are alot lighter in skin complexion than the current stereotypical Bantu featured African. The original Africans are very peaceful spiritual people who foresaw the Bantu genocidal invasion, hence the hidden wisdom keys they concealed from the uninitiated.
@@zoomed66 Again, considering West Africans aren't Bantu, which original Africans are you referring to, and who wiped them out? If the Bantu wiped out the originals, where did west Africans come from? I think it's a simple question. Did both west African Twa and central African Bantu wipe them out? Or are you just a racist that up until this point thought that West Africans were Bantu because you think they look the same?

if you want to know how eastern and south africa was before the bantu expansion read the new study "reconstructing prehistoric african population structure" by P Skoglund, it was basically hadza/mota like people,khoisans, and south-cushites (dates 3100 yrs ago).
Vince the superb
truth hurts doesnt it, i'll trust ancient dna testing over whatever you have to say. and i didn't say cushites were in south africa, south africa = khoisan land,
cushites though were as far south as tanzania (south east africa)
No they weren't. The iraqw which is the only cushite group in tanzania found the likes of maasai and other bantu groups already settled in their land.
The only people eastern bantus in kenya found were pygmies who were related to the twa of the rwanda and the congolese pygmies. They were absorbed by the bantus.
Vince the superb
like i said they found a 3100 yr old south cushite genome in tanzania which predated the bantu expansion in the area. masaai themselves are part cushitic not full nilotes, iraqw and other now EXTINCT south cushite tribes were in the area before bantus.
Its fact that Cushite people lived in south east Africa before Bantus
Swahili has never been written in the Arabic Script. Maybe the ancient scripts of Zanzibar were written in Arabic. But as far as school goes, Swahili has always been taught and written in the Latin alphabet. Also, while Swahili itself is a hybrid Bantu language with Arabic loan words, 90% of its speakers can neither read nor write in Arabic.
Bantu's are the original Hebrews or Israelites.They came to Africa fleeing from roman persecution in 70AD during the fall of Jerusalem.wake up!

If Bantus would be the original hebrews, genetic study would show it. Both the Y-dna and Mtdna of Bantus have West-African origin. The original/ancient Hebrews had T1 and J1 Y-dna haplogroup which is semitic.

Really nice to hear about African history, something effectively erased from the Western World.
Fun fact: As a born and bred African, I learnt more about African cultures, countries and languages when living in West London.
Europe as a multicultural urban hub has some good aspects to it. :)
Guys, I'm talking about the rule, not the exceptions. In the most populated countries it's not like that at all, like in the US and Brazil, that are the countries that received the highest number of enslaved African people.
@Luka indeed, we can't erase something that doesn't exist like the African History in the Western Basic Education System.
@Luka I'm afraid we are not taught a fair share at all about African History in Western schools. Africans have pre-colonial wrighting for sure, their own creation (Ethiopian Ge'ez, fro examplr, or even in arabic systems, but they do. But maybe our ignorance about it is just a proof of what my point is about. People barely know that Africa is a continent and not a country, now imagine telling them that Ancient Egypt an ancient African civilization, and that the Black King Masa Musa was the richest men in human history. Ask randomly what people on the streets of Paris, New York or London can tell us their impressions about the Bantu Expansion. This neglection is understandable because of the imperialism (that is still fully working). We need more, way more, especially in countries where a great part of theit people is made of the descendants of a recently enslaved people.
@Luka Sub-saharan Africa has 300.000 years of human history; is the most geneticly diverse parte of the world; most modern developed nation sucked the most of their natural and human resources in recent history; and the metal from the hardware of your cell phone or notebook you are texting right now comes from a chain of exploited work of their natural and human resources (still there). I'd consider a little longer before saying it's history 'hasn't contributed much for shaping the modern world'.
I totally agree with you, I,m from bantu group and we are many in African countries, and there is some similarity in the words we speak, for example, the word naawe , with means in English, (with you) that word is also used by the Zulu of south Africa, when I look at the face of bantu people I can absolutely understand them.

You make a mistake at 1:30 when you say that the descendants of the Italics became the modern French Italians and Portuguese. That's true of the languages, but only partly true of the people. While undoubtedly many Italians settled in the various provinces of the Western Roman Empire, the French, Portuguese and Spanish of today are still largely descended from the original Iberian and Gallic people who lived there before the Romans.
The Bantus, on the other, did largely displace most of the native Pygmies and Khoisan, because these people were hunter gatherers and the Bantu introduced and adapted the African-style agriculture developed in West Africa. The going was slow because West Africa is a Monsoon climate similar to India whereas Central Africa is an equatorial rain-forest similar to the Amazon. In East Africa, which is largely savannah except for the highlands and near the great African lakes, so the pastoral Nilotic peoples (such as the Masai) tended to dominate.
By the time they reached South Africa, Bantu expansion was limited by the temperate climate that didn't allow African-style agriculture. The Cape has a Mediterranean climate, which is why Mediterranean crops introduced by the Dutch and French ancestors of the Afrikaners dominate there.
Alex Plante that's what I was thinking
Displacement due to the Bantu agricultural style as opposed to the hunter gatherer style used by the Khoi is often unmentioned by some who've concluded that most of the Khoi were displaced through genocide. Masaman mentions the assimilation that took place, like in the case of the Xhosa people who now have on average 30% Khoi San DNA. No honest person would argue that conflicts didn't arise as a result of the Bantu migration, but I'm often shocked by the assertions that the Khoi in southern Africa were displaced through genocide only, with little or no evidence to back up that claim
“ but only partly true of the people “ Same thing with the Bantus, there are still plenty of pre-Bantu populations such as pygmy and Khoisan. On top of that large populations intermarried. And similarly how Rome brought the Latin script, Bantus brought agriculture, That doesn’t in itself replace the “people “ it just replaced the lifestyle and culture

tom brady sucks
I think the Bantus followed Chad through Sudan to Uganda while going South to Zambia, Zimbabwe, Katanga and Angola, because of the massive forest in the Congo region. They formed strong kingdoms that would later conquer southwards and when their was overpopulation they came northwards in two groups, the great lakes people from the lower Congo and the lower south people to the coastal regions. The great lakes languages have a connection as well as the ones in the coastal regions both of Kenya, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania.

As a Rwandan (not an expert), I'd like to point out a mistake you made around 5:00. Tutsis and Hutus although having originated from different places do not differ much linguistically. The different "dialects" within Kinyarwanda and Kirundi are mostly geographical and have nothing to do with ethnicity. By the way, although I understand why some people may think otherwise, referring to the Hutu/Tutsi/Twa as ethnicities/ethnic groups is probably incorrect since the only difference between the three are a pre colonial form of social classes and a few physical differences that don't mean much today.
A few physical differences....

Bit of an overreaction don’t you think?
Go on then, give us those sources.
also I don’t talk (....) because I didn’t grow up around profanity.
What makes you “know what you’re talking about” ?
Ecstasy Water Well whatever shithole you grew up around certainly didn't stop you from insulting people who have info you find doubtful. You're pathetic.
Most Americans always say west African tribes are bigger. We the Bantu are everywhere
Honestly, I've always found khoisans a cooler group. Don't really know why though.
can you do a video dedicated to the khoisan peoples actually?
madagascans are really cool aswell
Maybe because they are completely different than the congoids. They/we were much lighter in skin colour (very yellow)
J .dV what the fuck does skin colour have to do with it? the khoisan are cool because of their effects on our understanding on genetics and even how consonants are affected by migrations.
madagascans are cool because their history is pretty cool (migration-wise)
Very good and solid episode. I am Bantu in origin and you got it right!!! I love also that there is no bloody politics in your episode. Politics makes me vomit.
Wrong!!!
This origins history is completely wrong. First of all there are no Khoikhoi people, it is the Khwekhwe people and they are the product of Bantu and Abathwa (the San) union.
I don't know where these people get their history from
because everything they say is a bunch of Caucasoid rubbish. We do not
originate from West Afrika. We migrated from East to West, Sudan being the
focal point of our migration towards:
1) West {Central African Republic, Cameroon, all the way to
Nigeria(derived from Niggro lands Niggeria) & Ghana(formerly AKA The
Kingdom of Yahuda)} and to Atlantic slavery by Jews, Spanish and Portuguese.
2) South Central {DRC, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswane and
then South Africa (Contributing to the
diversity of the region i.e. the Sotho, Pedi and Tswane originating from the
Lozi people in Zambia) and Namibia being native to the Nama Abathwa people (AKA
Bushman or San who were later slaughtered in their millions by the Germans
under the rule of Otto von Bismarck).
3) South East: The Ngoni People (AKA Nguni from Caucasoid
ignorant BAD pronunciation) {to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe,
Eswatini and then South Africa contribution to more diversity of the region i.e
The Zulu, Ndebele and Xhosa region (Thembu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Bhaca,
Xesibe, Bambo AKA Mfengu (Fingoes from Caucasoid ignorant BAD pronunciation)
etc.
Most of all we did not migrate for the stupid lame reasons that are
mentioned but were running from the likes of the Caucasoid EVIL KIND, Islam and
Jews of whom together have teamed up over the past 2000 years and have killed
over 200 million of our people (Bantu) to date and still counting.
I think Caucasoid should work on their own history as to Who
Were Caucasoid? Where did they originate? How did they come into existence,
Where and why did they expand? because as far as history and reality are
concerned, the Caucasoid is only about 4000 years old. They must leave our
history alone because we know exactly who we are.

Well as a Jamaican I’ve inherited 16% SE Bantu. And I even know the tribes according to GEDMATCH. Some tests will say I’m of course West African, but Kenyan, Central, South, or East African. We are taught that we are West but DNA tests are saying beyond what we’ve been told. One of the best records are the slave ship records to check. Nice vid.
Kenyan? I thought Jamaicans and other blacks in the Americas only descended from west and central Africans
Jc Dizon
Most are but we also have Bantu East African ancestry as will in varying degrees. The Portuguess brought over east Africans.
Interesting. You might have Swahili or other coastal bantu ancestors then.
Peace Kenya yeah. My parents are Jamaican and they descended from the rebels (Maroons). In fact, my mom, father’s brother, sister, and brother were tested and came up will approximately fully African with the SE Bantu round the teens. I had to research, so I looked into the slave ship records and saw Africans from ALL OVER were shipped. They even had some from Cape Hope, shockingly. So we are PREDOMINATELY West African but I came up with East and unbelievably a whole bunch of tribes. Some were Lesotho, Tswana, Luo, Lemba, to name some. I even had 9% Levant😳. Could explain our running technique😂. I wish I could show the results here. Very interesting to me and quite a surprise.
@JC Dizon Some West African tribes have an east Africa/East Sudanic origin. Different ethnic have been moving and mixing for 1000's of years.
Good luck with all these pronunciations in your videos! You picked an amazing but complicated hobby of study, but its helpful to all of us who watch your videos to learn a bit about the world.
