I *love* how you contextualize African history and events with other world events. As somebody who grew up with a standard, American historical education, it really helps me to understand the grand narrative of Africa and its peoples.

Greetings from a Kurd to my African brothers ✌ stay safe

One love from Jamaica stay strong black people

Black community stay strong people in these dark times

Africans were already practicing muslims for centuries

Thank you for the information 💞👍

Excellent Episode 👍

Love the videos.. keep up the GREAT WORK!!

Great to see medieval African content, an all too often overlooked part of world history

I first want to say, sir, that I am a big fan of your videos, and I appreciate your efforts to keep us informed of our history as a people. I find it interesting that, in all my years of schooling, these details were never discussed in our "Western civilization" curriculum. There was always, however, plenty of talk about the respectful rivalry between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart during their battles. I had no idea that Saladin had given churches to the Ethiopians during his conquest of the Holy Lands. The current consensus of history (or its teaching, rather) tries to make it seem like the three Abrahamic faiths were always at war with each other when well before the Crusades, they lived pretty harmoniously. This was especially so before Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand rose to power in Spain. There had been a great deal of knowledge-sharing amongst those communities.

🤯 I already knew about those beautiful stone cut churches in Ethiopia, but they should be added to the list of wonders of the world 🌍❗

My Favorite KZfaq channel

Thank you My genius BLACK-BROTHA for all your teachings may you grow into a wise,wise old man.

Another video of Afrikan culture,history and Greatness I Envy you my Brotha and may I follow in your footsteps and may our footsteps Unite in the ways of our AFRIKAN ancestors.🌍🌍🌍Man deeply,Profoundly know thyself.👊🌍

The most celebrated muslim commander was Khalid ibn Walid aka the unsheathed sword of God, a companion of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who defeated the Roman and the Persian empires simultaneously. He and Genghis Khan are the only 2 ppl in history who were never defeated in battle. Khalid ibn Walid never lost a battle before islam and after he became muslim. Rahimahullah.

Very nice history of the past. Can you do zagwe dynasty and Ahmed grand of horn of africa dynasty Awadal and Harar.

Saladin was amazing

King Lalibela Ethiopia 😇😇

Thank You brother. Although no people or time is perfect it is good to see how Black and Brown people lived. School history is so Western European centered. Blacks were doing great without them.

Hi Home Team History. I am doing some research on the pre-colonial and pre-slavery attitudes of black people to each other focused mainly on skin colour, gender roles, family structure, and the community as a whole. If you can, could you share some sources I could get my desired information. Thank you.

Thank You, we are students of the Groits who stood before us. Virgin Islands Peace.....

The Truth springs forth from the past.

Could you do a video on the Dinka people of South Sudan?

What's the title of the intro and outro music please ?

Love to know what was happening in South Africa at this time...As well as Angola!🤔

I learn more about history here than at school 😍🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Here before half-hour.

We need movies about Jakub Almoravid (do i spelt it eight?)

If you study history the Africans in the south especially what would be called Upper Kemet, Nubia etc always came to Kemet to clean it up of invaders dating back to 4th Dynasty through 25th Dynasty

Highly unlikely that Oranmiyan was in Bini at the 12th century, such dating is not consistent with the dating of Oyo and Ife for Oranmiyan which is about 100 years later than Saladin and more consistent with the dating of the bronze heads made during the reign of Oranmiyan's cousin and rival Obalufon II. Also the Ekalederhan -ife connection holds serious loopholes that don't fit into the general history of both Edo and Yoruba speaking peoples

💪🏼

♡

First 😃 keep it up my bro hope you get time to watch the NEW black Egypt documentary on BBC by zainab 👊👊👊 love to here your critic

Teach this to our families & friends, school doesn’t teach our history

I love these videos. I don't like monarchies, kings and queens, etc. no matter what color. Power to the people! However, these videos are very cool! Keep it up.

My nephew is named after Salahadin Al Kurdi. An interesting person.

The presentation about Ethiopia is incorrect. Ethiopia was already christian from the fifth century, based upon the Amhara highlands. There were also three nubian christian kingdoms, that fought the initial arab incursion so hard that a peace was agreed upon that lasted for centuries. It was only after some six to eight centuries of isolation that they gradually collapsed, the last one in the 15th century Ethiopia was on the point of collapsing too, until a portuguese force with cannons defeated the muslim somali attackers.

Still waiting for your historical content on Edo Kingdom and Urhobo Kingdom

His son tried to destroy the Great Pyramids

Where there any obas in the Yoruba kingdom before the rain of oduduwa

It’s important to mention the race of these people in those times because to the average person,mentioning Arab,Muslim,even Kurd or Arabian,people will automatically think pale Arab like most of you believe Muhammad was pale.

You sound like a poet.

Notes: - Salahudin (ra) did not enter Egypt to establish any power. Rather his uncle and father where invited over by the Fatimid ruler, who was seeking help and protection against european crusaders. Once Salahudin as described in his bio did not want to go to Egypt for he longed to be a scholar and did not want to die going to Egypt, due to the circumstances. Salahudin was appointed by the Fatimid Emir as the head of police to fight criminality and due to his succes attained popularity amongst the masses. Upon the death of the Shia (islamic sect) Fatimid ruler, Salahudin attained power in the land. The background of (Sudanese) Mamluk opposition as described in the video might be explained due to sectarianism. As stated in the video the allegiance was returned to the sunni central government in Baghdad, whereas the former Fatimid regime in Egypt was Shi'a. Another reason could be because the loyalty of the Mamluks is to the one who freed them. Mamluks in general, as mentioned in the video, where mostly etnic Turks, yet Mamluks where not slaves, rather they where freed slaves and by condition of the transaction (of liberation) that the loyalty is reffered to the one who set them free. So the Sudanese Mamluk opposition might just aswell have arisen from the loyalty to Fatimid elites. - from an Islamic perspective it is not interesting, as you formulated it, that Salahudin referred the churches in the Holy Land to the Abbesinian Copts (Christians). For the reality of co-existence between Muslims and people of other faiths was never the issue, from an Islamic perspective atleast. Lands opened by Muslims to the authority of Islam (governance) was never to force upon people the creedal beliefs of Islam, as such the Copts of Egypt where allowed to maintain their religious freedom, likewise the Armenians or Assyrian peoples of Iraq to name some amongst many others like the Zoroastrian Kurds etc. The expuslion of european christians was due to the crusades and the absolute massacres they commited during their occupation. Palestine had been occupied for decades and when the european crusaders took Jerusalem the blood was running up until their knees. What is interesting is that Salahudin gave the europeans save passage to retreat, but it is not interesting as you phrased it, that Salahudin gave the Churches to the Coptic Christians. For Islam even when conquering does not allow the destruction or illicit possession of places of worship. These sites belonged to Christians, so the ownership and responsibility over property was returned to them. You could also raise the question whether or not these churches and monestaries where even build by the european crusaders and weren't allready established before their occupation. Because Ash-Shaam (the region of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria) has always had a Christian population under Islamic rule and Christianity had been established long before the europeans embraced the faith or took the crusades upon themselves. So agian, it is not interesting the property was returned to Christians, Islam allows people their faith and property.

How is this possible when the Fatimids are the direct descendents of the prophet Muhammad via his daughter, Fatima, and cousin, Ali?

Dr

The African and Middleeastern History has enough stories to make game of thrones childs play... but Holywood will never make any movies or series off it

Early

At this point, it just seems outrageous that you haven't done a full video on the North African berbers and whether or not they should be seen as indigenous African people whether they are white, brown, or black.

You said sultan Aladdin. The series on here yt shows a non melaninated cast. Boy did the Moors let the bloodline get whited out (blackomento). Oh the sho is called Magnificent Century it’s got subtitles and I enjoy watching it.

Saladin was an African Moor

Black did great in ISLAM

What about the conspiracy theory of Hannibal was not a black man and the the Punic wars with the battle of Zama and Scipio. The Son's of Carthage were black African's, the myth of Africa ?

What were Africans doing during the dark ages

Why is this not taught in school. Always well told of our history

Saladin is descended from the a'dd kings who built the grand major pyramids. Saladin is a Moor not an albino.

What were Africans doing during Alexander the Great?

Well, a decent number of them were being ruled by Saladin ;)

What African people were doing during the out of Africa.

Where did the knowledge of mining for precious metal came about. I can find a definitive time frame to say. Or where did it came from. Anunnaki? Its seems like African was the major miners in those times

Ethiopia had it's spirituals way before this Christianity embed rule, a shame that they accept, even if they did fight against

Saladin was a black African. There is a painting of him dated to 1100 A.D. will provide painting upon request
