Moors were a conglomeration of Amazigh (Berbers), Arabs and South of the Sahara Africans such as Malinke, Soninke, Hausa and Fulani.

[AndalusianPhilosopher]

Not just Moors from Africa. Remember that local population also converted to Islam, and Africans did intermarry with local Europeans. So Al Andalus is a mixture and joint project of Arabs, Berbers, Goths, Hispano Romans, as well as Europeans from the north. Since Al Andalus did have slaves of European origin.

The original people were Amazigh people. There are also many other tribes, Tebu, Tuareg, Mauri, Garamentes, etc. The phenotypes were various.

Don't they go Black face with red lips during the expulsion of the moors parade every year? The Spanish know who they were dealing with

[scorpzgca]

The Moors were from Mauritania and parts of Algeria, Western Sahara, Tunisia, Morocco, Niger, and Mali.

[CanaryKin]

Amazing...so Africans brought civilization to Europe and brought Europe out of the dark ages. Thanks for sharing history.

[MarkKeller]

Nearly 800 years of Moorish rule did more than just imprint ideas into and onto Spain. Moors mixed their DNA with Iberians during that time and that remains as much as the ideas do.

There is no book that can dispute this

[JaseanGreene]

Amazing you’re finally admitting this factor of these known factors. The African people need to know that too the whole world need to know it need to be in the history books so they can study and learn the right way.

[kellenjohnson]

why wasn’t southern Italy brought into this?

moor rule was there too

[Andrew-mjrf]

Given that the greatest developements in Europe happened after the Moors were kicked out, and not even in the parts of Europe where most advances took place, it takes some mental gymnastics to think they developed it.

Oxford University and Cambridge University was founded by books and knowledge by the Moors of Spain.
True fact

It's critical to understand Hamilcar Barca the father of Hannibal Barca Is the founder of the city Barcelona.

We have a book called The Royal African War Elephant and it is the first of its kind containing the sources of documents and images of the African use of the war elephant in sub-Saharan africa. Available on all online markets.

An expensive, but sure way to figure out who the Moors are ethnically, is to go visit Morocco or other countries in Northwest Africa. There are some minor differences between early Moors and current north Africa, but their ethnic composition remains largely intact. Two insights will occur: 1) You'll come to realize the word "Africa" isn't always a "black" place. 2) You'll come to realize the overwhelming majority of North Africans are caucasiod Berbers. The closest ethnic relations to North Africa is the eastern Mediterranean and Southern Europe.

This is yet another proof that African greatness didn't start today. Africans have always been great. Thanks for the heads up on this fact.

YOUTUBE IS A WHOLE UNIVERSITY .. I LOVE ❤ IT .

The Moors were basically a mix of Arab and Berber and only conquered the Spanish peninsular. As modern Spaniards have hardly any sub Saharan African in their DNA its bogus to infer as suggested here that black Africans developed or influenced Europe during this historic phase.

[DavidDelli]

Sorry to say it, but there's lack of details in the Muslim conquest of Spain in this video. This is obviously biased.

I am from north Morocco and I got light skin dark hair .I did my DNA 99% north African ( Amazigh) In history also my great parent lived in Al Andalus . Like many Moroccan the percentage of Arab dna is less than 1% in Moroccan. We do have Arabic culture bc islam 🤍and north African culture 🤍bc we r the native people of north of Africa . Morocco got oldest sapien skull means all humans are all Moroccan. And we are diverse in how we look like . We admire all races and all cultures .Moroccan got mixte little with Iberian at Al Andalus time . Moroccan got also mixte with our brother from sub sahar african countries ( dark skin) . Moroccan are proud to be African and Amazigh and Arab ( culture ). Some Arab came to North Africa and brought islam but got married to Amazigh berber women so the Arab dna is very little in North of Africa . Dna studies prove it . We still admire Arabic culture bc the believes but we r not Arab

Moors also ruled over Portugal, too as well
