Ancient Ghana aka Wagadu has a history dating back to 2000 BCE.
This makes it the oldest documented, if not one of the oldest documented cultures in West Africa by the Soninke people.Therefore, this classical kingdom and its culture are of utmost importance to all West Africans, including those in the transatlantic diaspora.

Great Video my man!! Loved! Keep bringing more! So, there is evidence for a civilization that is relatively as old as Kemet and we don't here about it? Haha, gosh. You really need to keep making these videos. I learned something new here. I thought West Africa started with Ghana. You have taught me about the Tichitt Culture, and I thank you! Also, yeah. Those stone buildings look like great Zimbabwe architecture. And still there is this myth about how Africans didn't build with stone. LOL

Thanks, Bro! Indeed. We might get to know more about it as we know of Kemet and Kush if we produce the next generation of archeologists. Slowly but surely we shall dismantle all of the myths concerning our people. As we can see culture always precedes the creation of a nation.

To be as clear as possible for when y'all are researching. Both the Soninke and the Bozo belong to the (Northern) Mande peoples.

@taintedbull7769 2 ай бұрын

And it should also be stressed that the Soninke/Bozo ARE Mandé. There is ample genetic data PROVING that the MANDÉ people are a congruent ethnic group who were united throughout there history. It is only recent that the Mandé have been divided along tribal lines. The Han Chinese also faced this false arbitration during their century of humiliation; being divided as Cantonese vs. Mandarin vs. Hakka vs. Hokkien etc. It is FALSE as they are ALL HAN. Just as how ALL Mandé tribes are ethnically MANDÉ. Please be mindful of this. Thanks for your work.

Interesting. Unlike Great Zimbabwe during colonial times Europeans haven’t tried to claim Wagadu. But yeah the evidence is purely Africoid as we can see.
