I am from Gao. There was no difference between north Africans and Gao, Ghana people at that time. Our people came from Egypt to Tunisia, Algeria and Gao. Take a trip to Mali and Guinea and meet the local griots. Those Kingdoms existed for thousands of years before Islam came to the Arabia. So, don't confuse the residents and kings as foreigners.
It took hundreds of years before Arabs conquered North Africa. Gao was before Ghana Empire. Islam came in 7th century. Ghana Empire was in 8th Century.

Go to most Major European Musuems and you will see all African civilization greatness that they said we were savages yet they filled their museums with African royal culture and heritage. Dont let these ppl fool you into thinking greatness only exists when its "discovered".
Compared to Europeans the majority of the world are s a ages. Europeans created the modern world and all the human rights people enjoy. There is a reason why Blacks exponentially grew in population after the colonial era.
Whenever we stand up and demand that those Pirates return our heritages, we will still only knows about the majority of what they stole. We are Royal. Live Royally.
@@OC1621. You do realize the vast majority of sub-saharan Africans were not even royal in the kingdoms that did have monarchies, not to mention most didn't even have them. The vast majority of African tribes were loose confederations of families an communal pastoral farmers, who in times of struggle or war would band together. That is a far cry from royalty or even an organized government like monarchy.
It really breaks my heart how some black people want to be Native American and so-called Hebrew so bad I know black people have went around the world a lot in ancient times but it still sends me how a lot of our history is so hidden and even our own people don't understand the beauty of being a of African descent I hope one day that they love themselves it seems they only take pride when African people are outside of Africa so sad great video keep up the good work man
I feel you on that one. I completely agree. It baffles me too. I've been studying African people and their histories for 20 years, and I am still continually impressed and proud. I just don't understand some people?!🤷🏽♀️

Wow like I keep saying Africa is just full of stuff waiting to be discovered. I believe in May or June they were excavating in Old Dongola and found what may be the largest Christian Nubian cathedral. It's good to see these excavation projects are paying off hopefully it means more of them.
They recently also discovered a tomb of Yeturow in Nuri who was the daughter of King Taharqa, carbon dating has suggest that the tomb dated in the 7th century BCE.
@@admirekashiri9879 They've also excavating a tomb belong to King Nastasen, the last Napatan King who ruled in the 4th century BCE during the time of Alexander the great, they are going to open his coffin, also couple of years ago they discovered new pyramids at Sedinga, Kush is more interesting and advanced than Egypt.
Great video again bro. There's so much hidden deep underground in Africa. Unfortunately a lot of large cities are currently sitting on potential archaeological sites especially on the coast lines. Some of those sites have probably been destroyed since no archeological surveys were carried out before those cities expanded. There are some known sites that for sure have some buried history underground but are somewhat prohibited from being excavated due to religious (and other such mysterious) reasons. Such a place is Ile-Ife in present day Nigeria. I wonder how much stuff is underground there.
Nice to get the black history from the black perspective. I just love history. But love the truth. And and has been manipulated and covered up for far too long.I come from new Zealand and am appalled from what I have seen America do.
No they didn’t, that’s not true at all. Greeks knew, Romans knew, Constantinople knew, Europe knew. Napoleon found the Rosetta Stone, there is literally pyramids sticking out of the flipping ground. moron
The Sahara has thousands of ruins. People forget the Sahara wasn’t always desert. It was lush and had many rivers. It started to turn to desert after a shift in climate. So people and animals moved west or east.
The phrase Sub saharan apparently started in the sixties or the seventies there about, in reference to all the lands, the people and every country beyond the the Sahara as so called sub saharan, not just West Africa alone.....looking at the geographic of the African continent the greater land and masses of the population resides in the so called sub Sahara....there's West East central and south....if the north Africa is seen as a different entity to the rest of the continent.....the remaining of the continent should be called GREATER AFRICA.
@@okey9236 No , as an African myself I’ll continue to use subsahran Africa. As when I make that statement i’m specifically referencing West, East, Central and southern Africa, which lies below the Sahara. I use this term in this context specifically due to how the history & archeology of this region in particular has been thoroughly ignored. North Africa gets decent excavation and research
As an African you should be concerned of others denigrating of you....Africans do not refer to themselves as Sub saharans...we simply see ourselves as AFRICANS.....we are not sub to anything......this is a phrase imposed on Africans for their divisiveness agenda.
This topic is fresh on my mind in regards to the infrastructure that the Asians are building in west Africa, while investments are great, I just can’t help but think about all the digging they’re doing without careful excavation before they throw up their skyscrapers. I don’t know if they will even take a second look at anything they dig up in the ground, as it is a business.
Hopefully west African doesn't follow the same path as Koreans. When we began to start construction of a theme park we found one of the oldest korean houses with lots of artifacts. However the government of the town wanted Chinese money so they built the theme park right on top of the historical site. Now the same government is trying to build a town that will be full of rich Chinese and is changing a lakes name so they don't want to offend the Chinese.
I hope scientists and archeologists start to use the technology that is being used now to discover long lost cities in the Amazon and central America by use of satellites and infrared technology if I'm not mistaken to discovered the cities, they can use these new techniques to discover long lost structures in Africa especially in the Sahara. Great video by the way!
@@Larry_Suave yea which is similar too Africa , which not only has thick jungles like the Amazon but also has desserts and Savannah's, you got to remember Africa is a very large land mass which can fit Europe and North and South America in it.
Super interesting. I hope they managed to date some of these finds as well. So little is known about this very interesting period of West African history and here it seems they finally found the twin city configurations described by the Arab traders. Koumbi Saleh, which was once thought to have been the capital of the Ghana Empire turns out to be of later date and the royal city was never found in the area. Here it seems they have found the real thing. Could you please add some links to your sources for this story as well? If I read the comments of people posting here I get the impression that a lot of them let themselves be influenced by the ancient alien type of nonsense, but then in an African context, often promoting the 19th century racist colonial ideas. In scientific circles there is no doubt about those realms being local, run by local people. Their wealth in gold was legendary since ancient times and they did not live in isolation with the outside world before Islam made its inroads either. The Roman equivalents of Stanley and Livingstone went there to try and find the Nile and have been recorded. Herodotus has some stories about them as well. Garamantes traded cross Sahara. West Africa is as much part of the human story as other regions that have been dug up for 150 years, like Europe and the Middle east. And those regions still produce new insights that had been previously considered impossible, like Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. In colonial times there was little incentive to do research there and US education is geared to create ignorance and racist attitudes. It is well time that this injustice is being set right. Africa is the mother of all humanity and has the longest history of all. But please,.. to all subscribers here. Do not fall into the same trap of linking the achievements of your ancestors to those of others. Egypt had little to do with anyone but their neighbours. Nor were pyramids built with modern tools. A lot of the assumptions you will hear being made by the fringe is easily rebuffed. Stones sticks, string and some copper blades was all that was required. The same applies to West Africa. Even though it had limited trade connections until the introduction of Camels in the 1st century, knowledge and inventions will have made it there as well and vice versa. There is much history to find hidden in the vast area of Africa.
Truth be told, if more archeological studies are done in sub Sahara, we will be stunned with the sheer number of new findings that would be discovered. Take for example, the Nok culture sculptures were discovered by accident in 1920s in present day Nigeria . This single accidental finding shows that Africans in west Africa were using Iron to smelt and forge tools as far back as 500 BC. How many more ancient civilisations like Nok culture are we yet to find?

I live on the Island of Barbados. I have read your work on the Igbo people which my research tells me is the tribe of Gad. If you doubt me ask them that is the ones that may know their history. When you read Numbers 32 you would get the picture. The reason why they would have artifacts from Egypt is because they brought them from there. When they left Egypt with Moses they stopped just where they are instead of going to Israel with the other tribes. They had the tribe of Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh with them. I am in the process of discovering that so much of history adds up with Bible it is amazing and mind boggling. All praises to The Most High. ✌️👍👍👍💯

Byzantine visitors to Timbuktu remarked how that city was far more beautiful and sophisticated than Constantinople. The Byzantine emperor was so impressed by their accounts that he sent Mansa Musa a gift of 300 slaves from Greece (250 men to work in the gold mines of the Mali Empire and 50 women to serve as mistresses to Mansa and his council members).

When they say from Everlasting🌌 to Everlasting🌅 they talking about African people or Black people we're the only people that have a Divine Purpose we're gonna aways be here on earth🌎 we're in all the 4 corners of the earth🌎 we always leave a remnant behind to let one know we where their either we leave behind our own Black People or our Culture or our Civilization but we always leave something behind: The African Hotep✌
Do you know how ignorant this sounds. There is but one human race and whether you acknowledge it or not White people came from Black people. Yes there are people everywhere, this is the Father's will and His purpose for humanity. It is His knowledge that made everything possible also, so give credit where credit is due.
You will find this until the end of time. Next will be when they find the kingdoms we created in lands outside of Africa. Hint- like some they found by Caucus Mountains
thank you to all those archaeologists, paleontologists, explorers and linguists who work to discover artefacts, monuments, languages and to map Ancient African civilization. Unfortunately in some countries the work cannot continue because the territories are not pacified. Many are ungrateful about their work, it's a shame.
I completely understand. My primary focus is on West Africa because I find it so fascinating. However, blk Americans shouldn't discount a connection to East or North Africa. You never know until you've tested yourselves and your Elders. I found out I have Sudanese, Ethiopian and Eritrean blood on both sides of my family. As well as, Egyptian, and Algerian blood too.
To do the archeological digs bellow the Sahara will force them to have to acknowledge the intellect of black ppl and Africa. It will not allow them to let the diaspora have pride in themselves.
Reassure me you are aware that those who do the archaeological work are westerners so how do they neglect anything to Africans ? What you said is contradictory.
@@sokobu8736 Truly not sure what you are trying to ask or state here. My comment is saying, just as the “westerners” took to the Egyptian digs and then claimed throughout all their finds that the ppl were not black. To acknowledge the intellect would be done by doing the digs and finding supposed items of the region like how it was just said in the video that the ppl there were possibly working with iron ore before the Europeans. This is not anything that the regular person has any idea of. Many ppl you ask about the continent will not tell you anything of its rich history due to the lack of proper info given. Goes against the agenda of making Africans only look like stick and mud ppl.
@@replay2020 you know africa is a big continent which is not limited to egypt. most of the artefacts that the europeans have found and that for some we can find in museums are credited to the African, the magnificent bronze heads of Ile Ife for example are credited to the people who made them or does it not count? when you speak of westerners who took credit on things it was at a precise time which is no longer done in our time. And frankly if the Westerners really wanted to stop crediting Africans they would just have to stop their archaeological work and like that you wouldn’t know anything about anything.
@@sokobu8736 Ok no idea what you are trying to get across. What you just said is basically what I said in both of what I wrote. Thank you for your input and your trying to give knowledge. Westerners aren’t the only ones doing the digs the ppl on the continent are as well. Just go and ask a person on the street if they know this info.
@@replay2020 Ok maybe there is a misunderstanding. but I am curious to know which artefact Africans have discovered ? And in what proportion compared to other ?

@@Kemetyu-Centered36 you can cry and write racist phrases as much as you want but the reality is that without Arab and European travelers and explorers, without the archaeologist, paleontologist, linguist etc, this channel that I'm sure you adore will hardly have no source to produce these videos. Therefore stop playing the ungrateful child and enter the world of men by being humble and respecting those who have worked on the field so that you can enjoy these videos.
First, they did a fine job preserving their history. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean that it wasn't preserved. And no one is required to tell outsiders a damn thing. Second, that's why archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, oral history, and history classes and history channels exist: To uncover and preserve the past. Furthermore, as stated in the video the archeologists knew where to look because of the local people's oral traditions. That is the preservation of the exact location of a town and palace complex for over a thousand years! That's a damn fine job! Most of us don't even know what buildings or businesses existed in our local town square before the Starbucks was put in; let alone what was happening in our local area a thousand years ago.
The Tarikh books were written in Timbuktu, the oral and griot history is verbal preservation, the Benin artifacts were sculpted informational plaques. The Westerners discredited the Tarikh books, they transformed the traditions, they stole the Benin plaques, then turned around and dug up some dirt and you are so impresssed 🤦🏿♂️

Actually it is the Word that confirms science and every aspect of reality. Science means knowledge and the Truth dictates knowledge, not the other way around.
I truly believe that the Oldest most ancient civilisation will one day be found in Africa. Either under the Sahara dunes or the thick Africa jungle. Remember that the climate was drastically different just 5000 years ago. And we've lived there for the past 200k years. So much that has change since the Roman and Egyptians roamed the earth and once they fell everything was almost lost to time had it not been for other empires that saved the knowledge. I believe we've lost far more than that's known.
Hi HTH I've loved your vides for years now. thanks again. I'm looking for a reference to the poet warriors who... i can't remember if it was like a historical argument or a battle of regime and reference or what.

@Paul Panther Ignorant. Educate yourself.
@@OC1621. You do realize the vast majority of sub-saharan Africans were not even royal in the kingdoms that did have monarchies, not to mention most didn't even have them. The vast majority of African tribes were loose confederations of families an communal pastoral farmers, who in times of struggle or war would band together. That is a far cry from royalty or even an organized government like monarchy.

Great video again bro. There's so much hidden deep underground in Africa. Unfortunately a lot of large cities are currently sitting on potential archaeological sites especially on the coast lines. Some of those sites have probably been destroyed since no archeological surveys were carried out before those cities expanded. There are some known sites that for sure have some buried history underground but are somewhat prohibited from being excavated due to religious (and other such mysterious) reasons. Such a place is Ile-Ife in present day Nigeria. I wonder how much stuff is underground there.
Nice to get the black history from the black perspective. I just love history. But love the truth. And and has been manipulated and covered up for far too long.I come from new Zealand and am appalled from what I have seen America do.

Are there any Sub Saharan archeological instituted that we can invest in ? There is so much we can be learning that we’re missing out.
Please stop using the phrase sub Saharan Africa...
@@okey9236 why? West Africa below the Sahara Dessert. Seems accurate to me 🤷🏽♀️
The phrase Sub saharan apparently started in the sixties or the seventies there about, in reference to all the lands, the people and every country beyond the the Sahara as so called sub saharan, not just West Africa alone.....looking at the geographic of the African continent the greater land and masses of the population resides in the so called sub Sahara....there's West East central and south....if the north Africa is seen as a different entity to the rest of the continent.....the remaining of the continent should be called GREATER AFRICA.
@@okey9236 No , as an African myself I’ll continue to use subsahran Africa.
As when I make that statement i’m specifically referencing West, East, Central and southern Africa, which lies below the Sahara.
I use this term in this context specifically due to how the history & archeology of this region in particular has been thoroughly ignored.
North Africa gets decent excavation and research
As an African you should be concerned of others denigrating of you....Africans do not refer to themselves as Sub saharans...we simply see ourselves as AFRICANS.....we are not sub to anything......this is a phrase imposed on Africans for their divisiveness agenda.
not only in the west even in the center and the south there still are a lot of things to discover much love from tunisia
This topic is fresh on my mind in regards to the infrastructure that the Asians are building in west Africa, while investments are great, I just can’t help but think about all the digging they’re doing without careful excavation before they throw up their skyscrapers. I don’t know if they will even take a second look at anything they dig up in the ground, as it is a business.
Hopefully west African doesn't follow the same path as Koreans. When we began to start construction of a theme park we found one of the oldest korean houses with lots of artifacts. However the government of the town wanted Chinese money so they built the theme park right on top of the historical site. Now the same government is trying to build a town that will be full of rich Chinese and is changing a lakes name so they don't want to offend the Chinese.

Keep up the great work. Love your channel.
Super interesting. I hope they managed to date some of these finds as well. So little is known about this very interesting period of West African history and here it seems they finally found the twin city configurations described by the Arab traders. Koumbi Saleh, which was once thought to have been the capital of the Ghana Empire turns out to be of later date and the royal city was never found in the area. Here it seems they have found the real thing. Could you please add some links to your sources for this story as well?
If I read the comments of people posting here I get the impression that a lot of them let themselves be influenced by the ancient alien type of nonsense, but then in an African context, often promoting the 19th century racist colonial ideas. In scientific circles there is no doubt about those realms being local, run by local people. Their wealth in gold was legendary since ancient times and they did not live in isolation with the outside world before Islam made its inroads either. The Roman equivalents of Stanley and Livingstone went there to try and find the Nile and have been recorded. Herodotus has some stories about them as well. Garamantes traded cross Sahara.
West Africa is as much part of the human story as other regions that have been dug up for 150 years, like Europe and the Middle east. And those regions still produce new insights that had been previously considered impossible, like Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. In colonial times there was little incentive to do research there and US education is geared to create ignorance and racist attitudes. It is well time that this injustice is being set right. Africa is the mother of all humanity and has the longest history of all.
But please,.. to all subscribers here. Do not fall into the same trap of linking the achievements of your ancestors to those of others. Egypt had little to do with anyone but their neighbours. Nor were pyramids built with modern tools. A lot of the assumptions you will hear being made by the fringe is easily rebuffed. Stones sticks, string and some copper blades was all that was required. The same applies to West Africa. Even though it had limited trade connections until the introduction of Camels in the 1st century, knowledge and inventions will have made it there as well and vice versa. There is much history to find hidden in the vast area of Africa.
Please continue these videos. So very educational. Love hearing and learning new information about the Mother Land.
Truth be told, if more archeological studies are done in sub Sahara, we will be stunned with the sheer number of new findings that would be discovered. Take for example, the Nok culture sculptures were discovered by accident in 1920s in present day Nigeria . This single accidental finding shows that Africans in west Africa were using Iron to smelt and forge tools as far back as 500 BC. How many more ancient civilisations like Nok culture are we yet to find?
Keep doing it bro. Proud. 🖤

I live on the Island of Barbados. I have read your work on the Igbo people which my research tells me is the tribe of Gad. If you doubt me ask them that is the ones that may know their history. When you read Numbers 32 you would get the picture. The reason why they would have artifacts from Egypt is because they brought them from there. When they left Egypt with Moses they stopped just where they are instead of going to Israel with the other tribes. They had the tribe of Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh with them. I am in the process of discovering that so much of history adds up with Bible it is amazing and mind boggling. All praises to The Most High. ✌️👍👍👍💯

To do the archeological digs bellow the Sahara will force them to have to acknowledge the intellect of black ppl and Africa. It will not allow them to let the diaspora have pride in themselves.
Reassure me you are aware that those who do the archaeological work are westerners so how do they neglect anything to Africans ? What you said is contradictory.
@@sokobu8736
Truly not sure what you are trying to ask or state here. My comment is saying, just as the “westerners” took to the Egyptian digs and then claimed throughout all their finds that the ppl were not black. To acknowledge the intellect would be done by doing the digs and finding supposed items of the region like how it was just said in the video that the ppl there were possibly working with iron ore before the Europeans. This is not anything that the regular person has any idea of. Many ppl you ask about the continent will not tell you anything of its rich history due to the lack of proper info given. Goes against the agenda of making Africans only look like stick and mud ppl.
@@replay2020 you know africa is a big continent which is not limited to egypt. most of the artefacts that the europeans have found and that for some we can find in museums are credited to the African, the magnificent bronze heads of Ile Ife for example are credited to the people who made them or does it not count? when you speak of westerners who took credit on things it was at a precise time which is no longer done in our time. And frankly if the Westerners really wanted to stop crediting Africans they would just have to stop their archaeological work and like that you wouldn’t know anything about anything.

It's nice but... Africans should have done a better job at preserving our history. What a shame. It was prob a wht person who found it too
First, they did a fine job preserving their history. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean that it wasn't preserved. And no one is required to tell outsiders a damn thing.
Second, that's why archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, oral history, and history classes and history channels exist: To uncover and preserve the past.
Furthermore, as stated in the video the archeologists knew where to look because of the local people's oral traditions. That is the preservation of the exact location of a town and palace complex for over a thousand years! That's a damn fine job!
Most of us don't even know what buildings or businesses existed in our local town square before the Starbucks was put in; let alone what was happening in our local area a thousand years ago.
@@ladybluelotus yes but....it should be US digging the site up and preserving NOT w people. Typical lack of accountability in bp

Thanks for the wonderful video,, brother/Home Team!! If anyone doubts the authencity of the Bible, this confirms how TMH told His people that He'd destroy their empires because of their worship of idols!! Today, even science is confirming the truth that the Word is being fulfilled!!💯
Actually it is the Word that confirms science and every aspect of reality. Science means knowledge and the Truth dictates knowledge, not the other way around.
I truly believe that the Oldest most ancient civilisation will one day be found in Africa. Either under the Sahara dunes or the thick Africa jungle. Remember that the climate was drastically different just 5000 years ago. And we've lived there for the past 200k years. So much that has change since the Roman and Egyptians roamed the earth and once they fell everything was almost lost to time had it not been for other empires that saved the knowledge. I believe we've lost far more than that's known.
Imagine what will never be found.... Africa is the birthplace of all man and civilization. I really love history and archeology.
