Desert Empires - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 10]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- In this episode Zeinab Badawi visits rarely seen historic sites and magnificent ruins in Mali and Mauritania in west Africa. We hear from Africans about how trans-Saharan trade, mainly in gold, meant that by about the 7th century rich kingdoms became established in West Africa. These eventually gave rise to three of the greatest empires on the continent, including the Mali Empire which began in the 13th century. Under armed guard, Zeinab visits the fabled city of Timbuktu, which was overrun by extremists in 2012. Mali’s ruler Mansa Musa was reputedly the wealthiest individual to have ever lived. She brings a rich narrative of a period in Africa’s history when it was a significant player in the world economy, and influenced global thinking through great centres of learning.

I can't stop watching these documentaries. Thank you Zainab and BBC.
@Joepie De poepie nowhere does it say that
@Joepie De poepie I highly doubt that. Watch the videos and then come back
@Joepie De poepie heheheh well ignorance gives way to two paths, foolishness or wisdom. You can decide your own path, that's all I can tell you
@Joepie De poepie Well, to be honest it doesn't say that, but if you feel guilty about it then, yes, most of it has been white mans fault. This series just covers the actual history of African people which is quite rich compared to what the white European education system has tried to teach. You seem so uncomfortable that you don't realize this is just a history and not a criticism. Your reaction seems to be unnecessary. Can't you just sit and watch a documentary series about African cultures and their history past and present without injecting your unnecessary guilt into the conversation? Because I do enjoy watching documentaries about European cultures (some have also been decimated by their own neighbours) and other indigenous cultures around the world. The world and other people are interesting, stop trying to find blame in everything and just enjoy the differences.
@Joepie De poepie You're not even making sense anymore dude.
I'm absolutely loving this documentary as she goes around Africa in a historic and chronological way
Me too,
Quarantine has me in here binge watching ALL of these episodes! This series is absolutely beautiful. I have learned so much. I can't stop watching.
This is a very great documentary about the history of Africa.
Have you watched the series?
Don't trust evil western neo-liberal sudanese witch. She distorts history to suit the narrative of her white masters.
Africa is the Motherland of all human beings . This knowledge must be taught to all people across the world in all classrooms . But since mankind is so obssesed by colour , creed , religion , and all the poisons of the mind , the maority will not realize this . This is the sadness and the madness mankind is living in . We are primitive in the mind .
@@Abraham_Tsfaye huh?
🇯🇲Thank you BBC for these documentries,am addicted to watching them🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍👍👍👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍👍👍👍🇯🇲👍
I'm rewatching this series. ;)
I think these series should stream on national TV in Jamaica,fa real.....every Easter from I was little toddler the two national TV station in Jamaica nuh stop brain washed poor people mind with the white men crucifixion movies🤔🤔🤬🤬🤬🤔
@@RawbaanYaadmanTV Yes, it would be nice if people had something more useful to watch on a long weekend.
@Juggernaut They are wonderful aren't they ? Also check out lectures and books by dr. John Henrik Clark, dr. Yosef Ben Yochanan and dr. Anthony Browder
@@RawbaanYaadmanTV The modern Ghana we’re originated from the ancient Ghana empire. we’re there ancestors and the Ceesay dynasties we’re the kings. we’re Soninke people our ancestor Dinga Ceesay is founder of this ancient great Ghana empire followed by Diabe Ceesay
Our beautiful queen narrating our history to the world

You are a griot of African History. You narrate it with absolute love. Yours is a voice carried so beautifully across Africa and the Diaspora. We indeed love you Zeinab. Queen of all Africa and its descended peoples.
I have binged watched these documentaries. Thank you!! You deserve more recognition for your in depth work. I still have 8 videos to watch and so far I feel pleasently overwhelmed. I am Jamaican and this is great for me to learn my roots 🌍🇯🇲🙏🏾
Great history. I'm Fulani from Mali 🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱👌👌👌✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Please convert to Christianity God made Christianity for all of us. Islam is an Arab religion. Christianity however is the Truth brought to Mankind to give us Eternal Life.
@@thalitasillah354 Bro said Islam is an Arab religion... If I follow your logic, christianism is a Jew religion. So why do you believe in something which is not comes for you?
Mali is soo Poor and Idiots country 😅
Mansa Musa was a legendary man who was so rich & kind his wealth would be hard to match of today’s affluent people period .
Finally our history is being told.
@GEORGE STINNEY JR. It hasn't been hidden. Mainstream media and academia doesn't talk much about it. But you have plenty of documentation about it.
@Joepie De poepie Actually if you are talking these civilization it's actually plenty from actually Africans. Close to a million manuscripts have been left. Lucky the native people hid the records from the invading French. Who most likely would have burned or stolen them.
@GEORGE STINNEY JR. Unfortunately most of this won't get taught in western schools and very few courses. I recommend you check out a history channel called Home Team history. Also there is a good series on DVD called Africa's Great Civilizations. Worth buying if you can find it.
@Joepie De poepie Infighting and outside invasion I would say. Failure to adapt to new threats and putting ethnic tensions aside. Knowledge is meaningless without action to implement real change. Ethnic tensions is still prevelant in many African countries. Rwanda for example have learned from this and is now developing into a very beautiful country. Countries can rise very quickly to prominence. It wasn't that long ago China was known as the sick man of Asia. Now it has re-established itself as a great power. With the right attitude I wouldn't be surprised if a place like Ethiopia for example could not do similar.
@Joepie De poepie Thank you. I'm actually from the UK. Third generation
Barbadian. But I have read a lot about Africa and the African diaspora history. But you are right it is about taking responsibility. We should learn from our ancestors achievements and mistakes.
Zeinab Badawi is an amazing woman, and excelent professional! She's so smart, his voice is beautiful! I'm studying English using his videos, and I love her! Thank you very much!
I have deep fallen in love with African history because of this series!
You will leave legacy behind for us as Africans to know more about our ancestors and it has shaped how we see ourselves.
Facinating. The richness of African history and remarkable dynasty is an eye opener to all . Thank you.
I really appreciate how you always give children attention and include them in your documentary. Thank you.
Awesome! Another history series discussing the amazing history of Africa. It's so satisfying to see this history being told more often.
I LOVE THE OLD BUILDING STRUCTURES THAT ARE STILL STANDING EVEN THOUGH SOME WERE DESTROYED
Wish They Would start making Movie's about Africa History The Rise Warrior's an Fall Storys the Battles it's so important Like Europeans Films War an Chinese Movie's War Movie's ECT... It's So Important Representation is so Important Keep it Coming Pls Thank You 🙏🏾

Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
I am a public school teacher that teaches about Post-Classical Africa. I have had to piece so much together- the Gates series on PBS is awesome as well, but this is fantastic. It goes over so much of what I teach and is just wonderfully done. I've been looking for something like this for so long now. This is wonderful. Thank you.

She forgot slavery for some reason 🤔
@@ryanb7385 Clearly this video has some incorrect info and Bambara people never was never under the control of the songhai and they are mande.
@@ryanb7385Do they always talk about slavery when it comes to Rome or the Mongolian empire? I don't think so. So stop with that.
Amazing black history ❤🖤💚 ✊🏾✊🏾

Excellent IQ, articulated, elegant, natural, non pretentious, proud of her origins and background ( without making any fuss about it)...And last, but not least, extremely beautiful!!
It's just funny how African are taken for granted.
Three years ago a lady from Kono Sierra Leone brought me some rocks looked like glass and were hexagonal just few mm thick and about 1cm long, she stated where you find these stones is where diamond is found.
She went ahead and talked of blue similar stones which fell from heaven or from space long time ago.
Last year I saw documentary about it and I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat"
You mean that could be real!?
That sounds beautiful
@Stone pony they were first African before returning back there.
Thank you for sharing such an amazing history of Africa
Thanks for dropping some REAL knowledge on us sista Zeinab...May GOD bless u always!!
I THINK MANSA MUSA GIVING AWAY SO MUCH GOLD MAY HAVE BROUGHT TO MUCH ATTENTION FROM OUTSIDERS WHO WANTED SOME OF THAT GOLD
Wealthy man wrong religion.
@@thalitasillah354 agree.
Mansa Musa is loved by those impressed with money but hated by his countries people for breaking the country for centuries
@@thalitasillah354what ?
@@thalitasillah354 wrong religion??
I love my africa 😍
you look like an indian
Aniq he’s probably North African, and not every “true African” has to be black african. That’s a western misconception.
@@whoreofdragonstone1031 im from the southeast asia and im an arab descent.'aniq' is arabic if you ever heard it..'arun ratnam' sounds indian, nepali, or sri lankan.hes no arab either
Aniq not everyone in North Africa is an Arabized arab. Some are still Berbers such as the Tuareg and various Moroccan groups
Ppl need to understand the difference between being African and being Black
An awesome historical video thank you so much, greetings from the great desert northen Mali 🇲🇱

Griots traditions arguably impacted the creation of hip hop.. Old traditions resurfacing due to the common genes..

I love these documentaries on African and consider them the best I've seen. I intend to view all. Thank you for the knowledge and the opportunity to reconnect with our Lost and hidden past.
21:40 Mande is a language group that both the Soninke and the Mandinka belong to. The ethnic group that started the Mali empire was the Mandinka!
I love this series. Would love a second one going into more depth about cultures of regions rather than focus on religion and its impact, more on tribal history. At least this episode is more relevant to me personally. 💙🌍🇬🇲
The best thing i ever watch on RUclips thank you very much zainab you already change the world
This is sooo educational hope all Africans get to watch these documentaries
Zeinab is both an elegant and meticulous presenter, I love her and how she prepared this documentary with African experts ❤
they are so sweet, they gave her a gift...great people.
Thank you, Zeinab and BBC!
One of my favorite story is the story of Sundiata and the creation of the Mali Empire. Much respect.
What great work Zeinab Badawi and her crew of Directors, sound, writers, have done for us! Thank you!
21: 28 Slight correction, the “ mandika/ malinka” are a subgroup of the super ethno-linguistic group the “mandes”. The soninke people of the Ghana empire were also mande peoples .
Also I just love the architecture of Djenne , best planned city in west Africa in my opinion.
Thanks again for this awesome series
zeinab is a an icon for Africa
I admire her
I love Mali and Mauritania. It is so exciting to see all the city (except Segou only) that I visited in 2011 and 2014, esp. those people whom I met are in the film.
I love the theme music and kept wondering who created it! Much love to them and their beautiful song
I HAVE BEEN STUCK TO THESE VIDEOS IT HITS A SPOT IN MY SOUL. I KNOW WHY 😊 BUT I REALLY DONT KNOW WHY😞--- if you get what I'm saying .LIFE OF A AFRICAN AMERICAN COULD BE TOUGH ON THE MINDSET . ONLY KNOWING THE 🍃 LEAFS BUT NOT KNOWING THE 🌳 FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE ROOTS . BUT 100% CONNECTED TO THE SPIRIT
Watching the video was very refreshing it took back to my days in high school more than forty years ago.
Thank You So Much Ma'am For All Your Documentaries.... I'm a proud African...❤❤❤
Assalamu alaikum this is Abrar from Algeria and thanks to Zeinab badawi our own history is being told by an African
Oh I wish she told us the name of the art center she went to. I would love to purchase some of those drawings they are so beautiful! talented African brothers ❤️ does anyone from Mali 🇲🇱 know ?! 🇨🇩❤️merci x
This is absolutely fantastic!
Zenieb, So pleased and proud about your work. You consitently go deep into African history and bring it full circle. Thank you for this series.
This video is really good and it made me finally realize that Mande people literally means Mandinka people. I don't know why I have always been confused by all the different tribe names that Mande people have in West Africa, but regardless of their tribe names they are all literally Mandinka. That Mande Charter also blew my mind.
Greetings from Northern Mali

WOW!!! This series is awesome! So much untold history.
Watching and listening to General History of Africa from Africa, Republic of kenya
Very beautiful and hard-working information about Africa۔thank you Zainab and BBC.
Glad to see BBC did not waste any of their licence fees on expensive wardrobes. Presenter wearing same blouse and trousers throughout whole series !!!!
I noticed!!!!!
Is this seriously what you decided to comment on regarding this series? 🙄
Thanks for bringing out the truth, about Africa history ..
World class reporting...I love it!
I had to watched this for my college history class.
Such an info rich episode.
You know it's harder than it sounds to find a proper mansa musa documentary. I would love to see an hour long documentary about how he destabilized the Egyptian economy with his gifting of gold on the way to his pilgrimage to Mecca.
😇: AFRICA HEAVEN ON EARTH 😍There is no other place like Africa and all her LEGENDARY BEAUTY AND LANGUAGES especially EGYPT😎😍😇
MashaAllal very nice video and very interested Allah bless you all
Africans were all over this planet before they met 1 Arab.
all the names mentioned are Muslims figures, how they become Muslims if they do not have any kind of relation with Arab

@@mohammadyousefdeebzahran1265 Africans had gone all over long before Islam came into existence. Islam is a relatively young religion.

Cool as hell
fantastic series!
Madam write a big book about this. Ahsante!
This is a terrific series and I am learning so much
The Soninke patriarch is Yougo Dinka coming from Egypt , but he was a pure african . When he arrived in the kingdom location with 77 clans . The first ruler was Diabe Cisse . The Soninke wear the names Ceesay , Gassama , Camara , Sillah , Turay , Sissoho , Diane .
Also popularly spelled: Cissé, Sissoko and Touré
@@tenko5541 In the french speaking countries , the english speakers say Ceesay , Touray .

Thanks for the doc from an Algerian American 🇩🇿
Her documentary is the best

Alhamdulillah
I especially enjoyed the interview with Stevie Wonder at the end! 😎
Nicely presented Miz Zeinab Badawi
Thank you very Zainab,
This series has taught me a lot, but it just could have been so much better. What was the point of including the audio of the woman saying "I sell traditional artefacts. I don't know much about history, but I've heard this city was beautiful"?
Stuff like this has left this documentary series down, in all the episodes I've seen. It's been informative and, at times, beautifully shot but it just seems like it was filmed in too much of a hurry, without enough groundwork done to adequately present graphics, historical detail, explication of how things fit into an overarching narrative, or getting guests on with revealing things to say.
Still a good place to start on learning about Africa though.
