Such videos greatly help to show that the world was alot more interconnected in the past than what most thing!

This was a nice look into a little-talked about trade route that obviously had big implications in world history.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing 🤩🤩

Like the Eurasia trade route of silk for Europe from Asia from the 130BC till the mid-15th century was just the same as the Trans-Saharan trade route was for Europe and Africa to trade with each other. Such relevancy.

Fantastic!

I didn’t know that I needed this information when I woke up

If the Mali Empire managed to discover the New World before the Europeans, does this mean the Trans-Saharan trade route will get preserved for more use?

Imagine how crazy this would be if Sub-Saharan Africa had access to the Silk Road.

Lovely to see Kano ❤

Excellent work and narration !

Through certain valleys, trails, leads, deserts. paths, and frontiers with caravans and constant onlookers yeah.

Great video. Illustrates how religion was often more of a political convenience then a deeply held belief.

Thanks for video, which app do you use for maps? It's cool

I'm curious as to why used Asian Bactrian camels to illustrate the video instead of the African Dromedaries that were actually used on the routes.

I have a question: is ~300 AD the first evidence of camel riding in general or only in the Sahara? I find that highly interesting, since i would've expected camels to be domesticated and used for transport waaay earlier😮

Umm, we have a papyrus document of camel agents existing, with many camels they rent out to farmers and travellers, back in third century BC Egypt. So clearly Africa has been using camels long before the 3rd century AD, and there's no reason to suspect they weren't used in Saharan transnavigation. So the boom in Saharan trade was likely due to something unrelated to camels.

Do you have a Rumble channel?

From what book did you use your sources?

Im native North African. What people dont know is that Amazigh tribes of the north of Africa basicly stayed in the same area for thousends of years, while Amazigh of the south migrated alot from to southern of Africa for thousends of years to set up shop.

First too and two times. All at the same time.

5:10 thank you for depicting my people the Berbers as fair skinned men, not as black like Netflix loves to do (with Hannibal, king Juba, ...) 5:50 true, Berbers (mainly from today's Morocco) were the one behind the islamisation of West Africa and South-Western Europe

On behalf of all Portuguese, I just want to say don't hate the player, hate the game

lift up the base triangle pryramid is 2way in 1 way down south africa full stop wave bye jump..

Good video. Camels in Africa are all single humped, not double as you showed on your diagrams.

Life is so much better with cargo jets

🇺🇸🌎👍❤

They used the dromedary (one hump) camels, not bactrian (two hump).

we need the story of portugal

Those little camel icons you used were Bactrian camels. They don't belong in the Sahara.

Algeria was Morocco/Tunisia province back then.

Europeans conquered each other for centuries for the same reason, so don't act like their reasons for conquering Africa were purely ideologically and racially motivated. Since the Africans would have done the same thing to Europe if they were the more advanced powerful civilization. And none of those people's ancestors that lived in European countries where ever considered when a monarch took over newland. I see everybody is equal and they all equally do bad things because humans are humans

There are two species of camel! The African is the dromedary with only one hump.

I am shocked that camels weren't used in North Africa before the 3rd century! Why not earlier?

I never knew they were trading trans in the Sahara. This must be stopped!

hi i am fearst

1:10 ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME

Europe and Central Africa wanting to trade with each other Sub-Sahara Africa: am i a joke to you both

The maps are incredibly inacurate as they show europe being bigger than the sahara which is completely false as the sahara is double the size of europe.

1:19 Atun-Shei Johnny Reb labeled as Democrats: “BLACK NORTH AFRICAN SLAVES!! BLACK NORTH AFRICAN SLAVES!!”

Why did all the ancient greeks call ancient egyptians Black? according to the following eyewitness: Eyewitness to ancient egyptian phenotype: Herodotus: The ancient Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BCE described the ancient Egyptians as having black skin and woolly hair in his work "Histories." Strabo: The ancient Greek geographer and historian who lived in the 1st century BCE described the Ethiopians (a term that could refer to people from various parts of Africa) as having black skin and woolly hair, and noted that some people considered the Egyptians to be of the same race. Diodorus Siculus: The ancient Greek historian who lived in the 1st century BCE described the Ethiopians as having dark skin and curly hair, and noted that some people considered the Egyptians to be of the same race. Plutarch: The ancient Greek philosopher and historian who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE wrote that the Egyptians were "black with heat" due to the climate of their homeland. Al-Masudi: The 10th-century Arab historian and geographer described the ancient Egyptians as "a black people, different-looking and woolly-haired." Jean-Francois Champollion: The 19th-century French scholar who deciphered the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt noted that some ancient Egyptians depicted themselves with darker skin tones than those of their neighbors. Herodotus: "Histories," Book II, Chapter 22. Available online: classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.2.ii.html Strabo: "Geography," Book XVI, Chapter 4, Section 7.

Available online: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k5636837p/f9.item Herodotus: The description of the Egyptians as having "black skin and woolly hair" can be found in Book II, Chapter 22, which begins with the sentence "For my part I hold that the Colchians, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians..." Al-Masudi: The passage describing the Egyptians as "the darkest of all humans" can be found in Volume 1, Chapter 3, on page 52 of the edition I consulted. Jean-Francois Champollion: In his "Lettre à M. Dacier relative à l'alphabet des hiéroglyphes phonétiques," Champollion does not use the term "black" to describe the ancient Egyptians. Rather, he argues that they were of African origin, based on linguistic and cultural evidence. The full text can be found at the link I provided earlier. I guess al Masudi, Strabo, aristotle diodorus sicilus and plutarch are not credible too huh? What about the man who deciphered the hieroglyphs himself calling them negro africans, Jean Francois champollignon? You Euro-centrist are absolutely delusional.

Everybody trans these days huh? Even the Sahara. Jesus Christ

All those faith Islamic Barbarians actions of 5 past Islamic empires committed by them .where historical records witnessed in Middle East, North Africa, Middle Asia, Asia minor, and Balkan by Islamic armies and emirates ...are they occurred in March planet? If your respectful channel labels the security of trade roads and merchant securities... the same phenomenon was found during the Mongol empire ruling

*Amazigh not berbers

*As Always the horn of africa which literally held one of the richest coastlines in african history gets left out* 🤦🤦 Mogadishu, berbera, Bossaso, zaylac These regions saw some of the greatest moments in medieval islamic african history, classical antiquity and evem ancient bronze age and much further

Hello your literally ignored ajuran sultanate

Maps names en borders are not correct, for morroco example

Understand that these were the cursed descendants of Shem. God condemned them but promised to restore them. We are now living in that time period.

It’s called Tunisia, not Hafsids. Hafsids are a dynasty, not a country. There was never a country called Hafsids.

Africa doesn't practice slavery the Europeans introduce it

The Sub Saharan Africans never developed phonetic written language, the wheel, etc... and most of Africa didn't have these until Colonialism in the late 1800s. The cultural exchange from Europe into Africa is the greatest exchange in human history to the point Sub Saharan Africa is more Culturally European than African. And it all began with the Saharan trades, being able to write things down made the Islamic sub Saharans way more advanced than their neighbors which lead to Empire.

транс-изомерный сахар.

Morroco didn't exist in 1500 1800 Was created in 1900 also the maps are completely wrong
