Everyone. I KNOW THE STATUE IS A CHINESE GUY While I greatly appreciate the correction it was an honest mistake. I searched for an image of a Japanese statue and that's what I got. My bad. I've been corrected like 100 times. Thanks! Also for those of you who assume I'm a kang who is trying to steal culture, try watching 11 seconds of the video before judging :D

Shogun, or Shougun is merely a coincidence. It is a Sino-Japanese compound word written in Kanji as ' 将軍 '. Edo has different etymology and it was the capital only much later in Japanese history. As for Japanese language itself, the most agreed upon scholarly opinion is that of an isolate. Structure wise, some linguists say that it could be a mixture of some ancient Yaoi language and some kind of Pacific Islander language (from Joumon people).

I never knew this!! I am japanese and have always felt close to my black brothers. This video made me feel even closer. I have Ainu indigenous blood and I notice my people are a bit darker than typical japanese. It is also possible when the polar ice cap was bigger, It allowed travelers to travel north on foot instead of taking a boat. I believe that is how the first settlers were able to reach such a isolate island as japan. There are actually 2 separate gene codes found in japan.. one coming from Asia and the other is unknown (Ainu) All in all from what I know... white, brown, yellow ect... we all came from mother Africa, it’s embedded in every human dna.

Well it turns out that the closest genetic relatives of the Ainu people... are black! The Ainu people of Japan most commonly share haplogroup D, which is only found in one other group of people, the dark skinned inhabitants of The Andaman Islands near India. The Andamanese Islander people are one of the most isolated groups on the planet, so its crazy to think that any person with indigenous Japanese Ainu DNA would share the same haplogroup that they do. They are also descendants of one of the first groups of people to leave Africa.

They're still there, and living up near the mountains. They told me to my face that they are of African descent! And from what I can tell, it looked like they were happy to see me!

@pokezee king-wolf Turkic by definition is pronounced Turukic and in Africa Turuki (look up the African bantu tribe called Turkana - Turu-Kana means Zulu Kana/Gana/Ghana or Kwena or Gona people of the crocodile totem) and Zuruki is the same thing. As a Zulu, I can confirm a lot of Chinese especially in the autonomous regions are Zulu and African. That is why they are so dark. We also share the same tribal names. For instance, I am from the Mungwe or Hungwe or Mungo or Hungo caste. In China, the Hmong, who range from looking like us to looking mixed race but back, like about 5-15m South Africans, pronounce Mmong as Mung. Sesotho and Tswana/Chuan or Sesuan African language sounds a lot like Chinese, with names such Sumo, Palai etc. Japanese and Chinese conquerors (Han = white people) sold us to slavery in indian markets and we were bought by Dutch. Other names are Koniswang, Lebohang, Nkgopotse, Madibuseng etc. That is my language as a Pedi or Mbedzi or Mbezi person but I speak the main language spoken by Southern Africans: Zulu. An aside: The Turkish capital, Ankara, used to be called Angora which is similar to another Zulu country or town, Angola or Pongola, respectively. Also, Ankara means the place of the Ngala or Nkara people. Nkara or Ngala or Galla (like the Oromo in Ethiopia) is Lion, which is what we call ourselves as Africans. The current Turks only arrived as a white wave in the 1800s mostly displacing our people. The Turki you speak of, used to be black and aborigine before the Slavs took over Russia. Now, they are lily white just like how the Chinese turned white.

I think the break-up happened around the late 1800s and the 2 world wars. The countries were populated by black people - real Japanese, Chinese, Burmese etc. are dark. The Wushe for instance lost their port to Japan in the late 1800s and found themselves in AFRICA - a few are left in Taiwan - but Wushes call themselves Zulus and Sothos in South Africa. Some looked like Aetas with straighter hair, so when apartheid came along, whotes convinced them they are different and they are "coloured" - not quite white but definitely not black. SAME TRIBE!!!! But now they are DIFFERENT, according to white people!!! Then they mixed with some white conquerors and started adoring the white culture and affinity. Africa was built up over the past 200 years to be this populated through racial politics and economics and the search for economic, spiritual and political dominion. It is nonsensical that people lived by race - my family is mixed from centuries ago - we are generally light-skinned as opposed to really dark mixed people and Africans but we live as African black people because that is who we are. The black vs. white was introduced to divide and tell lies and not because it is truth.

The scenarios outlined by Hammer include an out of Africa migration over 100,000 years ago, the YAP+ insertion on an Asian Y-chromosome 55,000 years ago and a back migration of YAP+ from Asia to Africa 31,000 years ago by its subclade haplogroup E.[25] This analysis was based on the fact that older African lineages, such as haplogroups A and B, were YAP negative whereas the younger lineage, haplogroup E was YAP positive. Haplogroup D, which is YAP positive, was clearly an Asian lineage, being found only in East Asia with high frequencies in the Andaman Islands, Japan and Tibet. Because the mutations that define haplogroup E were observed to be in the ancestral state in haplogroup D, and haplogroup D at 55kya, was considerably older than haplogroup E at 31kya, Hammer concluded that haplogroup E was a subclade of haplogroup D and migrated back to Africa.

The scenarios outlined by Hammer include an out of Africa migration over 100,000 years ago, the YAP+ insertion on an Asian Y-chromosome 55,000 years ago and a back migration of YAP+ from Asia to Africa 31,000 years ago by its subclade haplogroup E.[25] This analysis was based on the fact that older African lineages, such as haplogroups A and B, were YAP negative whereas the younger lineage, haplogroup E was YAP positive. Haplogroup D, which is YAP positive, was clearly an Asian lineage, being found only in East Asia with high frequencies in the Andaman Islands, Japan and Tibet. Because the mutations that define haplogroup E were observed to be in the ancestral state in haplogroup D, and haplogroup D at 55kya, was considerably older than haplogroup E at 31kya, Hammer concluded that haplogroup E was a subclade of haplogroup D and migrated back to Africa.

Race to us simply isn't a factor in ancient history because anything ancient was BLACK. Period. It's true we WERE Samurais and royalty. It ain't about WHO we were, but about WHERE we were, and we were everywhere. We once ruled here, and we did an astonishing job at it too. You must understand that our ancestors entrusted that power and privilege into a people who never knew such divinity, and who took advantage of their newfound power and caused mass destruction, and for that we had to pay the ultimate price (slavery, police brutality, discrimination,). Take a look around. The world is in shambles. Not because of you, but because power was given to a greedy set of people who only cared about money and themselves.

Whats left of indigenous people of Japan are the Ainu and they are closer related to the Aboriginal tribes of Australia. So that's why the video makes a good brainstorm, before the colonization of the island of Japan the world could have been more in contact with each other than what most people think. As far as the the Aboriginal and Ainu having similar DNA, well that's probably too far back for anyone to figure out.

so it is not a "true" tonal language, so it has limited elements and he is discussing one of them- it is obvious that people left the continent at different times and went to different places, it is up to the "true" scientist to see the obvious and "convince" the European Establishment? or spend his or her creative energy going outside the European Box and searching for evidence- which is what they do, unless the evidence points in the wrong direction-and they sit on it. don't wait for them to admit the truth- and just because someone who calls themselves crissyisajojofan says it speaks Japanese doesn't mean it understands where the language comes from-

I’ve noticed this similarity between Yoruba and Japanese culture specifically. I am from the Yoruba lineage here in the US. It started with something as small as noticing that My nickname is Buki which is also a popular in Japan. From there the similarities just continued including the style of traditional dress being the Kimono for women, and buba, lopa for Yoruba, the patterns and prints and striking as some are the same. I’ve noticed the architecture, the culture of venerating ones Ancestors being the highest, and so much more. I’m really looking to explore this topic more, and this has been the first video that has actually made any sense. Thank you.

I knew Japanese were of African descent when I saw them dance in competitions. They hear music like we do. They go inside the music and catch what is going on inside and connect with it. They are fierce competitors in dance because they are a bloodline of the Kings of dance, the mighty Africans.

On the boat tip, Africans, and Amaru-Khans (us) were master boat builders and master navigators. They taught Europeans how to navigate. The Black Californians would sail the South Pacific and go Africa all of the time. Africans would do the same.

I agree to the possibility a 100%. I’ve always thought about this and wondered about the similarities and possibilities of being linked some how to the Japanese Asian culture and or people. I am from the northern part of Nigeria from a local government called Zuru. My features has always been compared to an Asian features. I have been asked many times if I was biracial mixed with an Asian. For starters, I have a traditional name from a Zuru dialect called “Dakar Kari “ my name is Oze. I was being nosy one day and thought to google my name. I only found Japanese writings etc. also found out there’s a national park in Japan called Oze. There’s a sake beer called Oze in Japan as well. That was an interesting find. Check it out.

I noticed the same thing after I lived outside of Tokyo in 1967. I was teaching elementary school on a US Air Force housing base (Grant Heights). Back in the United States, we had an ancient African community study group we named Kush Study Group. I came across ancient African words like: Kufu, Kafre (the ancient African son of Khufu)... reminding me of Kyushu (third largest island of Japan.) On and on...

This was way after that, and you've probably already heard about it, but to anyone who's interested there was an African/black man who was taken to Japan with the Porugese, and through a series of weird events became a samurai for Oda Nobunaga. He went by Yasuke I think. Just thought that was interesting.

I watched a documentary on Japan and footage from the early 1900's. In both I saw some people who had hair, skin and features that looked like they had some African heritage. So I'm searching to learn more. I'm sure hundreds of years ago people traveled by boat to other continents. Interesting video examples of arr and language similarities.

I don't think you realize Asian ppl are multi colored. They can get black. Blacks and whites are shades and not multicolored so its hard to understand your ppl other than black or white. But Asians are black, white, red, olive, yellow, brown, even purple when drunk. Clearly East Asians, SE Asians, W Asians, Native Americans, Turks, Indians, Siberians, Polynesians are all part of greater Asia. Asians can be black but blacks can't be anything other than black. Black is also an Asian color. Same person can go from white to burnt black in the summer. White and black ppl never mention this because they can't do this but only Asians can do this.

As a Polynesian watching this video this was really interesting. The similarities in the languages even. Maybe there was an actual connection between japan and Africa. In Oceania no matter what island you're from the language would mostly sound similar to each other. I don't really know what African patterns look like but when I saw that picture of the African sailor boat it resonates with me because the zig zag pattern in particular is so similar to ours

When I first started getting into other cultures online I immediately noticed that too I think you're definitely on point they also connect to the nagas in india/persia.... And then possibly some parts of Ireland and Scotland and in The Basque Portugal and Spain area.. also there's a connection to very early Semitic areas of Israel....

Also my 23andMe I'm very Irish from my dad's side and I didn't expect to see Spain and Portugal and .2% Chinese on his side and we know that our family didn't really leave Ireland ever so that's how far back it goes our name at least two 400 500 AD so there's also a song called .. the Irish or Egyptians long ago and it's from the 1920s so I think archeology and DNA are starting to tell a bigger picture....

Not to say they are the same people but when it come to languages sometime interesting going on. They for sure came into contact but for the touge to be the same, the two group must have had something else going on than we visited a different culture. I would love to see you do a video on Viking and why we do not know much about them. It is like their history holds truths.

Truly enjoyed this video , have been studying my lineage solely without the help of ancestry or anything like that . My intuition and omens (the Alchemist junkie here) have led me to believe in there being Asian culture within my family . My mom and me both share the same features regarding the almond eyes , high cheek bones . And as a black girl ive rarely seen anyone with my nose . These sculptures gave me chills . Thanks so much for your research . And like that other person said , DONT apologize to anyone for the assumptions they make of you . Asé
