Africa is the continent where the first humans were born. They explored the vast land and produced the first tools. And although we migrated from that continent, we never completely abandoned it. From the beginning of time, humans lived and worked in Africa, leaving evidence of their existence in the sands of the Sahara Desert and the valleys of the great rivers, such as the Nile and Niger. Some of the earliest great civilizations were born there, and they give us an insight into the smaller kingdoms of ancient Africa.

Did he say “controlled trade between Egypt and Africa”…that’s like saying “I’m gonna take a trip from Florida to America.” I wish people would stop constantly trying to remove Egypt from Africa. It was an African kingdom. I don’t understand why that is so painful for people to admit

You forgot many historical moments of kush, for instance Kandake Amanirenas, who fought the Romans and won or earlier King Pianki conquering egypt to revolutianize the egyptian religion and the establishment of meroe. When the arabian caliphates attacked makuria, makuria used one of the best archers of history to defeat them.

I love culture and I would like to see an African mythology movie like Greek and nors mythology. That would be different and new well at least with me cause I never seen one

[jojo]

kush (modern day sudan) actually conquered and ruled egypt for a while crazy how you left that important detail out

[Supreme-kbkg]

The cradle of civilization. I mean that in itself speaks volume. Unlearning and being re-wired by my ancestors.

Controlled trade between Egypt and Africa? Egyt is a country on the continent of Africa. (time stamp 0.54 / 13.03

Why is Hannibal depicted as a European? Hannibal was an African.

It’s funny how people try to separate kemet (Egypt) from Africa. They are related what we now call Sudan, and people of east Africa. The culture of Egypt started from the east of Africa. My friend his father is Egyptian, they are black.

Its damn crazy how todays historical sources are hell bent on refraining from telling the truth about the African origins of ancient Egypt civilization. They hide the truth, but with such channels, dedicated to enlightening the people I hope the rest of the world will come to know that truth. Thanks for the great work.

There is a place on the map where Africa and Europe are only 9 miles apart. That to me explains a lot why Americans considered a lot of Europeans as black or "swarty".

[Jcup]

It is true that Egypt is in Africa however all Egyptians aren’t African. To elaborate I live in the us which is North America, I am American not “North American.” To say they’re African is a broad generalization but I understand what people are trying to say.

Control trade between Egypt and African where is Egypt????🤣🤣🤣🤣

While some things that you mentioned are correct not everything is accurate unfortunately, basically you stated that mansa musa’s slaves brought a gold bar each and that’s not correct each slave that was part of his crusade throughout Africa carried bags of gold not just one gold bar but bags of it.
the gold was so plentiful that he carried from his kingdom with him that it crippled the economy of each African nation he passed through as again he had so much gold that he would shower locals and royals with it as gifts so much that it became significantly devalued, I’m pretty sure you know how economics work so I don’t need to get it to the details as to why this happened.
Lastly you stated that mansa musa sold slaves from his parade in Egypt, again wrong that is not correct he had no need for extra gold as the man was drowning in it literally so he never sold anyone from his court to the Egyptians for “extra gold” as you claim.
He did however showered the Egyptians with gold as gifts and also slept with Egyptians nobles and maybe a few royals 😉 throughout his stay within Egypt.
So yeah had to point that out.
You do know that he still up to this day has the title of being the richest man in the history of this planet right, why do you think he still has this title gold dude, gold, lots of it that he had from his kingdom!

The potholes and biased incorrect information in this historical account are beyond the telling of words 😒
