- MNM presents a sneak preview of our new documentary about the secret history of Ancient Africa. "The Legend of Timbuktu" tells about the empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, who became the most advanced civilizations of their time and the first Sub Saharan people to accept Islam, early as 850 A.D..
From great Muslim African leaders like Mansa Musa, who raised Timbuktu to new heights, to Mansa Abubakari II, who crossed the Atlantic Ocean to America nearly 200 years before Christopher Columbus - this critically acclaimed documentary explores African history like never before.

Instead of Hollywood making 12 Years a Slave movies we need more movies being made about our true Black heritage of African Kings and Queens along with the Mali Empire! This history is our real Wakanda!
natedoggg2002 you over did it when you mentioned wakanda.
This is big facts, everyone knows about slavery, hardly anyone knows about Mali
Lets do are self
Claus Exile no he didn’t this is the real he said focus on this instead of the fake that is Wakanda
My sentiments exactly.
Wow! Amazing history....I learnt about Mansa Musa yesterday, was having a conversation with my boss, he ask me why is your name Fatu Bah? told him my dad comes from Mali,he was like wow!
He started telling me that I have a rich heritage I have a lot to learn.Really enjoyed watching and learning about Mansa Musa.
Mansa Musa got filthy rich on gold, ivory and slave trade.
Gold was dug by black slaves, ivory trade almost made elephants go excting and Mali ran the biggest slave market in Africa.
The African, Chinese and Indians are the richest people of this Earth. It's just a shame that we know not of our true nature and purpose.
They are rich in resources but the religion and philosophies that they hold on to this day caused the majority of people to be very poor.
@@MeneTekelUpharsin I feel like that is disrespectful to religious people. Religion does not hold anyone back. there are many MANY religious people out there that are successful and don't see religion as an obstacle to success.
...Mansa Musa of Mali was (THE) richest!!
Not the chinese
Not the Indians man
Please research and learn more about the Timbuktu (Mali) , Harar (Ethiopia), and Guine/Benin empires and African heritage.
I know the Benin apology.
You are funny talking about Benin 🇧🇯 empires,it's only 2 empires in West Africa ok Mali 🇲🇱 Songhai empire and Ghana 🇬🇭 Ashanti empire that's all???
Thank God for RUclips. This will help black people not born in Africa to feel proud they have African Blood running through them. Europeans love showing Africa in negative light on television. All the commercials of Africa in America and europe is children starving and needing your 10$ every month. I'm from Ghana but raised in America. I use to be ashamed as a child to tell people I was African because europeans protray Africa so bad that Africans were treated bad even by other blacks when I was a kid. In Africa my family is very wealthy. I went to preschool in Ghana in the early 80's. It's recently that children in America are going to prek. I was in Pre K before we moved to NYC. Also in Ghana most parents get private teachers to come to the house to teach their kids after school. In most middle class and rich communities in Ghana most kids have private tutors. I remember the cafeteria lady telling kids eat up your food, there are African kids starving who would love your food. I wish all blacks that never been to Africa will one day be blessed and get a chance to visit Africa. I think it's so important. All black people are a part of Africa to me. When you reach a country where a majority of the people are black and not white you honestly feel at home and wanted. You also feel proud to be black when you see how beautiful it is, and it's nothing like the way it's protrayed in countries where europeans are the majority. Africans love and though the white race has been our downfall, Africans still welcome them with an open arms. Black people have never done anything to white people but they just hate black people so much. We are just created different. Black people are truly Yahweh's children. When you go to Africa and see how they welcome outsiders, it's so different from Europeans and european countries, but they believe they are the civilized ones and we are the barbarics.
Zarasha1 Moses..... one of the greatest prophets of God was black . Not charlton Heston or Christian bale like were shown.
thats u cuz are pathetic
Brothers & Sisters must read that more important than you tube! B1
+Zarasha1 : You are so correct the Europeans have painted Africa to be very poor and dirty. But l stop believing that LIE many, many years ago when l learned we the so called Negroes where scattered throughout the whole Earth as Bondmen and Bondwomen Deuteronomy 28:68 and continued on to find out that we are the True lost sheep of Yisrael. We are the True BLOODLINE Descendants of Shem, Eber, Abraham, Isaac and Yisrael/Yacov. Shabbat Shalom my Hebrew Yisrealite Misphacha.
Zarasha 1: Beautifully said Sister, and I can see exactly where your coming from. Portrayal of AFRICANS in destitution through the WESTERN MEDIA is an attempt to control and manipulate THE MINDS of ALL. We are a unique people on the EARTH and attuned to the CREATOR'S LAW OF LOVE !!!
I'm not a member of the NATION OF ISLAM - but, I do question the teachings with an OPEN MIND. Why is this RACE LIKE THIS ? Some of their own have also questioned their atrocities upon the EARTH !
I once read from a white man a spiritual teacher, that " If my TRIBE (THE CAUCASIAN) cannot SHOW LOVE, they would be completely WIPED off the face of the EARTH; and this is DIVINE JUSTICE"
Yes, there are some who would HONESTLY admit to their MALEVOLENCE collectively, but, they appear to be few in NUMBER !
Peace & Blessings.
I need to educate myself more on African Empires/history.
Basil Davidsons Africa is good.
Timothy Brown don't let these Caucasians distract you. That's the problem. When our people teach our history it's labeled as propaganda or Afrocentric. But when the same people who being lying to us for centuries do it, it's accurate lol shits crazy. Hidden colors is a great documentary to watch but it doesn't stop their. Educate yourself brother outside of Eurocentric view and take back your history. Hotep
Instead of making 12 years a Slave movies they need to make more movies about the Mali Empire!
Look up hausa kingdom benin empire kanem bornu empire ashanti tribe and kingdom of bamum and more
Timothy Brown Black history is the only history real human history.
Wow I'm so intrigued by Mansa Musa! Such a great Man
Africa is a historic content, never teach in school or university especially west part, we need unification in Africa. From Free town 🇸🇱.
Hmm I didn't learn that in school... Wonder why 🤔
Because he was African, Muslim AND had been one of the Most successful men that ever lived.
+MJ 10 he was literally the richest human ever to walk the face of the earth
Mellow DNA because you weren't born in Africa! Most of the schools in Africa teach these histories ! I was born in Africa! And I think most of you African Americans and Caribbeans should try to learn more about the motherland. Peace ✌️
There's zero evidence abt lots of things doesn't mean it isn't true.
Mayonnaise I didn't learn about this in school and i live in New york
Africa was todays' Europe and US when Europe and US where Africa......its sad history .....but a good lesson
lol, come on man, not even close..
I can only speak for my ethnic group or tribe but we had very strong religio-political system where you were exiled if you did crimes against humanity such as rape, murder,... What I'm saying is UK saw Africa as goods US as shades of color so forth we have different ethnicities we're not all one homogeneous people it's a continent that's why I say world is less tolerante everything is color now all the original European kingdom with different languages are now wiped off and subjugated to a neo roman empire. I don't care what's attractive to you why are you so obsessed with sex and devalue women only to their body. Mind and Soul is most important.
By dominant features I mean features that are more likely to appear in phenotype when two human zygote (sperm+egg) mix it's not always the case but most times darker skin tone, hair, eye color are more likely to be dominant. The only I generally see the baby exhibiting predominantly lighter skin tone is when the mom is dark funny enough but still the hair color and eye color usually dark. it's like if a blonde reproduces with a brunette most likely kids would have brunette hair but blonde could show back up in their grandkids or great grand kids as a recessive gene. Honestly phenotype is a very fragile and alternating thing to base maltreatment of people except if they've a dominant phenotype gene that takes a lot to erase take the Brazil phenotypic lightening initiative Portugal did it took a lot of years but they eventually erased most trace of predominantly darker shade people till most looked more like Portuguese to them.
Chic Chi you spoke very well just now, you cannot speak for africa as a whole, and neither can cacasians. most of them were against slavery, only the super rich could afford them anyway. You need to see people for more theb just a phenotype, and respect everyone as an individual person is my point. I usually don't date within my race because of that black women are loud and abnoxious from my perspective, and experience and attraction is also a factor when dating Asians and Caucasians tend to be more good looking but that's my own perspective, and intelligent.
please look at your contradiction in sentence 3 and rest of your statement. I usually don't care who anyone but me and my crushes attracted to and guess what...still don't care
You're such a weirdo lol
Superb!!!!!!!! So glad this is here! We are a noble people after all.
Thank you for your wonderful video. My mother introduced us to African History at a early age encouraging us to read and learn all we could. So my love goes back a long way. Knowledge of self creates a energy no one can take away once instilled within you. Once we realize the value we possess it causes a roar of power/pride within us...this "power" is really what they fear hence- the term "stay woke". The change that will take place is inevitable all of us will not be onboard the progress train so, it will leave the stations missing many of us. That is natural and good will triumph over evil and we will rise as the chosen people to lead others out of the darkness. We have been lost and suffered more than any other people on this planet. The universe has punished us is turning day by day against the oppressors of the world. I wanna be able, equipped and ready to push "our" people into a new era of progressive growth centered on our advancement. I am the people forever kissed by the Sun💋💋🌅🌅 and we will not be halted or destroyed.
So true my sister
Howard Zinn's book brought me here.
In memory of Fatima M. Mateus ever said: everybody has a past😇& history never die. May the Lord of all creation help us to forgive and love one another 🌎🎼
I am very thankful for this wealth of knowledge and will continue to explore my true history and not this whitewashed babble.
lol the west will not teach you anything related to islam. If he was a christian or jew you would have heard of him.
Did you also know the greateat military general was a muslim arab by the name of Khalid ibn al waleed.
did you also know that Algorythms (equations used in programming to make smart phones such as iphone and computers.) where inveted by a man called Alkwarizmi an arab scientist he is considerate the father of mathematics he invented Algorythms to calculate zakat (islamic yearly charity given to the poor). Al-go-rythms = Al-kwa-rismi
Did you know the founder of modern day medicine was a muslim guy named ibn Sina. His books still used in cambridge and oxford universities.
Islam contributed to the modern day we onow and united people of all colours.
Yet it does not get the credit where its due.
and as you know the worlds most richest man to lay foot on earth was a black muslim. Not bill gates or trump.
like i said the west will not teach you anything related to islam. If he was a christian or jew you would have heard of him.
tc.
michaelb271 you using the n word just shows your a troll lmao
Why do you think emperor king Henry Christopher first king of Haiti build his kingdom a big palace He called it the black Empire and he LED a lots of country in the Caribbean to get their freedom .

Timbuktu Had The Greatest Library Of Knowledge Ever
Mansa was a great figure, but a lot of people from Mali have mixed feelings about him today.
Like wilhem the conqueror, a warrior
He squander their resources.
@@tonybrown6496 Yeah… I know lol
I have never learned any of this in high school or college smh they truly hide Black history in America and my Major was History
Because it fake
Gar Greenway
Whats fake?
Mansa Musa lived and everybody knows he was wealthy.
Gar Greenway not fake, learned about it in 3rd grade
Gar Greenway not fake bro Timbuktu is still a real place today ppl live there although is poor now
Just read the Bible, KIng James version.
Mansa Musa the richest man ever!
yes had so much cash he threw off economies at will
my mother was from his tribe...mandinka! 📖 📚
The price of gold in the Mediterranean was thrown off course for 10 years
Zenme Yangzi tell them south atlantic ocean was called "Ethiopian Ocean." let us tell those people something Zenme. let us show them what we know
Zenme Yangzi tell them that the 1st man to win kentucky derby was black guy....come on tell them Kenme. they were breed to ride horses(certain parts of africa).
beautiful strong black history
Malian, Songhai, Bambara history.
There is no black, white, yellow, red history. It's the history of some tribes and nations. For the Greeks and Roman's the Germanic peoples (Anglo Saxons was a tribe of that) were just wild animals who couldn't talk properly. And for the Songhai or mende some other non "civilized" folks were just Barbars.
And for the Vietnamese of confucian tradition the folks who lived in the jungle were also seen as not one of their own.
Its a history of different tribes and nations. The sorting of people along colour lines is largely an angloaxon invention of the 18th century
Thanks for beautiful well-done history of the area of Timbuktu. I made a couple of videos about Mansa Musa (i am amateur and always learning) so I appreciate your work very much! 🙏💖
And this is why they tell you we were here in America long before the European brought us here.
A historical drama like this on the silver screen would have been better than Black Panther.
They're going to make this a film, the same director who did Panther and Michael P. Jordan are collaborating on the script.
Great video!.
Very well put together. I enjoyed watching. 👍
May Mother Universe bless our ancestors ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 history that needs to be taught.
black man know yourself
Yes... know that your ancestors were Muslim.
+MJ 10 that's just a religion it doesn't matter cause at the end of the day black is black
+Son Goku It does matter because Islam is not a religion, its a system. In other words, in Islam, there are ways that finances are dealt with, amongst other things. He became the wealthiest man on earth by implementing the laws of Islam in regards to finances.
+MJ 10 Examples. Allah says in the Quran: " And spend in the way of Allah from what We have provided you with before death approaches one of you, and he says, 'My Lord, if only I would have given charity and been among the righteous.' Chapter 63, verse 10. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions "Every Muslim must give charity." His Companions asked him.. "What if he is unable to do so?" He, Muhammad, replied; " Then let him help one who is in desperate need and if he is unable to do that, then let him do good, and refrain from doing evil and that will be an act of charity on his part. Charity does not decrease wealth but increases it." Sahih Muslim and Bukhari: The Traditions Of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). So Mansa Musa was not only the wealthiest but was extremely charitable because of his practice of Islam. The video states this btw. There are numerous verses in the Qur'an and quotes from the Prophet Muhammad that address finances, this includes how to actually sell and purchase goods according to the laws of the Creator, in a way that the seller and the buyer will both benefit greatly. Its A LOT of info... but its out there. I hope you get a chance to learn more if you're interested.
MJ 10 Okay, so what went wrong, because Mali is one of the poorest countries in Africa.
Loving this one brother thanks for sharing this very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power
OMG... I didn't know, beautiful rendering of history. Thank you.
It's good thing that now African history is put on RUclips for the world to read for themselves about the past of Africa. However, one fact becomes clear, 1) That new facts imaging about African history. 2) In this video, the facts are not being chronologically stated; historically speaking, Mali Empire was last strongest African empire to come to an end and at the same time the best empire in the world at the time to have existed, with no any doubt, the success of the greatest World Mali Empire was and is credited to the man today we call " Empror Mansa Musa " Read more about Mali Empire if you're interested, it has very interesting history that connected the entire world that will definitely shade some light into world middle ages civilization.
So he was just like other men of the time that had power. Did he also you religion to manipulate people?
I am learning about this in 5th grade it is so cool it is interesting
I've always heard frm child bout dis great place love to learn more knowledge n grow wit my history want to visit this place always go jamaica tru family but africa the roots ❤🙏🏾
Thank you for uploading this video!
African Religion needs to be revived. So, that Africans can reunite.
Nice. Very informative!
The Sudanese people who came to the Americas 2000 years before the Mali Empire was founded were the ancient Nubians who gave the Native Americans gold tipped spears.
😂😂😂
@@badabinbadaboom7338 you're a white supremacist foh
I thank the internet God for this awesome tid bit ....not one of my history books ... Classes ...or teachers ever gave me anything close to this priceless piece of info....i LOVE the internet!!!!
where else can you hear jokes like "people in America were speaking Arabic when the European colonists landed there"
once upon a time there was a king who had three sons all born at the same time. The first was called, Timbya. The second was called bucina. The third was called Tula. The king wanted his three kids to be great leaders. He sent them to the finest schools. But he knew his three sons had to lead and in an era of great turmoil and upheaval, war was always a reality of life. The king called upon his greatest military advisors to teach his sons the lost art of war. All three showed great promise...In fact one showed exceptional insight and vision. Unfortunately, his last child to be born came down with a rare disease that almost made him mentally challenged where just walking and talking became an ordeal. The king would not give up on his third son and still took great, some would say, exceptional care for him. In fact even, surprisingly better care from his first two sons. Which his top aids thought a bit peculiar, because they thought the king was primarily concerned with keeping his power and expanding his reign,
As the decades progressed the country found its self in war and conflict and his first and second sons did exceptionally well on the battlefield. In fact so well the country became to expand into a kingdom and eventually an empire. Unfortunately saboteurs and assassins would try and eventually succeed in killing off
the kings first two sons. Figuring with their departure the kingdom would eventually fall. The first was rumored to have his throat slit while he slept in his bed late at night. The second was believed to have been killed by one of his own men in the mist of a heated battle. But to every ones surprise as the decades continued to pass and no one could figure how the empire was still expanding after each conquest. The king, by the way was long gone, but his third son was an elderly man and still alive. Until on his death bed, he look at one of his aids and for the first time in decades in plain sight began to speak with utter clarity and distinction...never seen before. he whispered in his aids ear with a cleaver grin: it was me that gave both my brothers insight to win each battle are nation had taken part in by expanding are kingdom. His untimely passing was on an ominous night with a blood moon in the sky.
When the king had all three sons sent to finest schools and taught the wisest commanders, it was his third son who showed exceptional skill and knew that eventually someone would try to slay him. By pretending to act as a mentally challenged cripple no one would figure his third son could by anything of a threat and that no one would try and kill him.
The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey and Gabriel Brynes....k movie.
I wish that I can go back in the past and ask for forgiveness for being a part of a stupid, whitewashed childhood. A music teacher told us that she was from Timbuktu and we laughed (2nd or 3rd graders). Now that I understand my people, I think that damn. I was part of the brainwashing system. I would love to know what my former music teachers life was like.
Are you a Malian?
Thanks for sharing, awesome info!
Thanks for sharing!!Excellent Info!!
The most fucked up thing is that most of the black folks won't even look this up on RUclips, just fights and musical videos
Your just as bad for assuming that’s, that where the mentality has to change instead talking down show the black people around you this video
@@MongaBoyz123 but what has this to do with black people.
If you show gypsies or Romanis videos about India, why should this affect their lives in Central and eastern Europe.
And Romanis and gypsies have much more in common with India than black Americans with Africa
Because Romani speak a Sanskrit language.

It’s crazy that Timbuktu is still a decently sized city.
he's grand grade father Soundia Keita and my grand grand grand father Fakoly DOUMBIA voted the first constitution in the world plus 10 kings they were 12 kings who voted around 1230 we are from Mande kingdom
Sure
amazing
Outstanding and enlightening history
Thanks for teaching us this
This never gets old. I wish that we as the human collective can one day see eachother as such. A collective. Brothers and sisters. Culture heritage is beautiful! I envy those. Lol black power or black empowerment should never equal or allow hate of my kind to any other race. We won't win the race war fighting by race. If only we accept each as a collective then the "race war" (ie prejudice oppression etc ) will be won.
It was the accepting as a collective that led to the Black race being cut off at the knees by those we had wrongfully 'accepted'.
Thank God for RUclips. I am teaching my people now what I am learning. Some don't care but some really do. This is sad. Africans are broken. Look how Mali looks now. They have not accomplished anything. Africa can come up again but the leaders are so damn corrupt. They not thinking about the country but self. Africa she be on top. It's very upsetting.
Zarasha I agree with you I’m from Ghana living in America,most times I talk about black history to some blacks here and they don’t care about the great history about black people..even some Mexican here thoughts the OLMECS negroid captures faces are Indians crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Mexico then to North America making these Africans who first cross the Atlantic the first people on North America soil before the Europeans invade America.

Is there any book or series of nonpolitical books that someone could recommend to give a History of all of Africa. I'd like to know more about the history of West Africa before Mali Empire(Please forgive my spelling). I want to learn about East Africa and the people in the Kenya.region. Also the Zulu's their history before the British came and their movies made up history. Where do I start if I genuinely am fascinated by. Cultures other than my own. Any recommendations will be appreciated.
The European Slave trade was the most brutal in history.
ofc it was, it was a systematic slavery a policy taken by several colonial empire fuled by racial propaganda it wasen't like before were war prisoners reduced to slavery or some raids made by some small chieftains and slave traders into the lands of the infidels
Incorrect. The slave trade to North Africa by Muslims was far more numerous, lasted far longer, and slaves were treated far worse, in fact worked to death, because it was easier to get more, and that was actually stated by Muslim rulers at the time.
All black males were also castrated, so no mixing would occur. Arab slavers were also raiding and capturing white Europeans extensively, and successive Popes sent emissaries to attempt to end this, and other also sent representatives to attempt to ransom back some captives. These people saw the extent of black slaves, and there are many writings and documents telling of what they saw.
THE uneducated is yourself. Europe and America got rich off free labor. 400 years plus
The Arab slave trade was no better
@@keithroy7884 They seem to be of similar brutality and scale, despite the Transatlantic Slave Trade lasting nowhere near as long. I believe this is because the European trade was highly greed-driven and just as many if not more slaves were transported in a few centuries' time. Not to mention the mass r*pe involved to 'generate' more slaves.
I feel like mansa Musa, was a great king but not a wise one!He gave away our inheritance to whites and Arabs all our gold.
They lie. The stole and took it.
Great video
Really interesting. Where can I find the full documentary?
mansa musa is muslim and black alhamdulillah!!!!!!!!!

@angie brown
Then why was he black if he was a white blue eyed Arab.
Muslim and Islam aren't a race and people in Mali aren't middle easterners as it's part of west Africa.
evryone was happy till when the knowlog reached europe then the war crimes began.
+Temujin Khan The "slaves" were servants... not slaves as African Americans are associated. They were paid and treated with respect.
Terha Riadh the thing is afrians are too genuine to survive this doggy dog word. At the end of the day, it's our kindness that puts us where we are! They took our kindness for a weekness! They only forgot that at the end of the day only the truth will stand!! 😎😃😘😍😍😍🤗🤓
Indentured servatude and "slaves" like live in maids are completely DIFFERENT to America's chattel slavery. You could rise up in the heirachy as a "slave" even to become a leader before chattel slavery existed; in chattel slavery you were cursed forever and your offspring inherited it.
@TIM ALI selective breeding by the slave owner. Look at contemporary animal husbandry, the most prolific breeders are kept and allowed to propagate. No different 500 years ago, except that instead of cattle the crop was black people. I would bet that documents could be found showing that some of the most prolific had 30+ offspring for the women. Probably 3 to 5 times that for the most prolific men. A big, stout male would be hired out at stud.
This happened for 200 or so years. And it all stopped after a civil war happened. This all happened over 150 years ago. If you need further information about history the information is out there. You just have to ask the right questions. Happy New Year.
Would be nice to have some sources from this video.
Such Rich History Timbuktu 📖
People complaining why this history is not being promoted by the west hence the world well 1 its about blacks 2nd it talkes about the richest empire 3rd the were way ahead of there time in philosophy culture science 4th which is the most important one its about MUSLIMS
Not legend (suggesting falsehood) but FACT.
Fact!!! 👍👍
Watching this I'm just wondering how much more we don't know or never talked or told about and our schooling. Thanks for the internet learning a lot.
Here for a reason! Thank God
As-salaamu 'alaykum. Excellent! I came across this article which may offer some DNA evidence of Muslims (Moors, Moriscos, Moreno, Maroons, cimarrones (cimarrons),, etc) in Americas before Columbus.
EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE:
....The researchers note that bones, teeth and DNA yield no clues as to whether someone was a slave or not. Columbus was known to travel with a slave, but it is also possible that the crews included free Africans picked up in the Canary Islands or African migrants to Spain.
"The people on that expedition were reasonably well known by Spanish historians; there were [African] servants of households, but they didn't bring African slaves," said Kathleen A. Deagan, a University of Florida historical archaeologist and author of two books on La Isabela. "There were African sailors on those early expeditions, foot soldiers -- that kind of thing."...
(click the link below)
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/17/AR2009051701885.html
Alhamdullilah! I knew this already, the article was great though... on point! But if you don't know look up the Muslims of Al- Andalus Spain and how they came to America waaaaaay before Columbus. Also how their were some tribes of Native America who had become Muslim because of their interactions with them.
MJ 10 - Also look at the Malian Mansa, Abu Bakari Filanan. He sailed for the Americas more than a century before Columbus.
I dont claim to be a decendant of this wonderful kingdom. But why is it other races can be proud claim be excited represent with tattoos of where they come from. Irish germans etc but when ppl are proud or excited of african history oh its afrocentric. Hmmm.
It's not called Afrocentric when people do that, it's called Afrocentric when people start claiming they're descendants of people they're not, such as stating the Irish were black or something dumb like dat
@@lolnoob5015 haha lol Irish were obviously not black that’s Afrocentric asf but it’s also Eurocentric when Europeans claim Africans couldn’t built sophisticated civilizations or when whites try to whitewash African history or contribute it to outside white influences
It's a gift to know where you come from. I'm Somali on my father's side and Scandinavian on my Mother's. I wouldn't have it any other way.
@@yungslash8616 only the British did claim this. I mean in German books of the 16.th century the moor melli and the great empire was mentioned. The Staufers in the middle ages highly esteemed the so called black moors, the Brandenburg expedition to the gold coast in late 17th century spoke highly about Ashante, fabte etc. So did Dutch or portuguese traveller's.
It was largely an anglosaxon British invention, pretending there were no african civilizations, because of their
specific type of chattle slavery. And because racism was a big topic on the British island itself. Welsh even meant foreigner and slave, and was used for the Gaelic people after Britain was conquered by the Anglo Saxon. After the Normans conquered Britain another system of racism and apartheid was built for the next 500 years.
Great video but at 5:02 that picture is the Chinese explorer Zheng He. (who did some exploring around East Africa) But not that guy who the narrator said it was.
From Babylon to Timbuktu get the book. Who where we before we converted to Islam. Those same people were enslaved by Islamic Arabs next came the Transatlantic slave trade. Deuteronomy 28. Shalom

The true chosen people who left Israel Black and never returned because they were slaves in America and were afflicted for 400 years
The Mosques, Palaces, and certain Clothing like the Turban's and other head ware at least some of them where obviously Semitic Influenced but The Umbrella's, Chair's, Gold, Jewelry, Tusk Barriers, and other things where obviously Black by itself without outside help.
Blue Dude No but clearly had Semitic Influence with the things I mentioned
Do we have access to the research? Who wrote, researched this? That is just as important at the rich information.
Great information thats TRUE.
Native people didn't speak arabic
African people spoke different languages and dialects. There are many languages that are sister languages to some of the many languages spoken in Africa.

Good work.
The scientific evidence is overwhelming who we are.
I bet the Arabs have something different to say about this load.
Where is the movie
Can we visit these sites today?
First and foremost, Songhai are not Sub-Saharan people, this Westernised terminology needs to be done away with. Songhai are SAHARAN people. They live in the SAHARA. Sub-Saharan means south of the Sahara which Songhai, Touaregs, Some Fulani, some Hausa, some Mande are not.
Sub-Saharan seems like just another racist term to me.
Freudian Slippers, Sub-Saharan African is a racist term because there are multiple "black" groups living in the Sahara classified as Saharan people (for instance check out the Saharan language cluster which includes Kanuri, Nubian, and some other Nilo-Saharan based languages).
Monsieur Africain the songhai was a west african empire..thats all that matters..BYE bye
jacob 1996 Yes Songhai/Sonrai/Djerma/Zarma/Dendi are located in West Africa, however to be more geographically correct, in the Saharan/Sahelian region of West Africa.
Monsieur Africain hausa are black
I'm white and very pro-white and I don't hate black Kings. Why would I? The world would love to see blacks rise up in Africa instead of blocking highways in America
Well your people are the ones that rounded them up and took them there in the middle of an all out imperialist take over and scramble for resources.
Connor Perrin America isn’t a white country you idiot. If you are “pro-white” go back to wherever your own ancestors came from, you’re also foreign on North American soil!
😒
The country I was born in has many good and bad things in it's history. So much so that i tend to disregard histories that focus on one view as suspect. I realize that there is a time limit and a view of both the producer and audience so that limits presenting both sides of history.
But this was interesting.
Timbuktu is the city of knowledge and Libraries
The Mali empire is interesting I do not understand why people have to lie so much about African history this documentary is suggesting that native Americans are some how Africans and that they settled there, when this is no evidence they even made it across the ocean. This video started well but then it left all facts and started saying far fetched claims were facts shame.
What's so hard to believe
Yup I do not believe that either Amerindian's where Red Mongoloid's that came from The Far East of Russia specifically Siberia they where not Negroid, Capoid, Australoid, or Caucasoid.
Cantiaci don't worry, at the end of the day... only the truth will stand. :)
Cantiaci, Watch some AncestryDNA videos on RUclips. Some of the White Americans' "Native American ancestor" shows up as "Mali", instead of Native American.
Cantiaci The oldest bones ever found in the Americas belong to a woman called the Luzia Woman she was African. Her bones are in the Natural Museum of Natural history in Washington DC.
It's been said that those who arrived from Siberia killed off an indigenous earlier group who arrived in America a lot earlier. Apart from the oldest bones being African many sfudied the changing wall paintings in caves. They went from non violent paintings to one's depicting violence during the time of the arrival of those from Siberia. It displayed war breaking out.
And as we've seen in modern times it's easy for one group to displace and replace another. Australia, America, Israel, North Africa, New Zealand, South Africa are all testaments to that. Inside 200 years Australia changed from Aboriginal to European when millions of Aborigines dying.
This must give to all human beings in humanity.
