Your research is stellar! Indeed, the deeper you dig into world history the blacker it becomes.
Many thanks old friend. You are so right. 😊
Imaginary history. Show me black culture, literature, architecture, science, paintings, ...
@poetvalentineokolo..True..you`re exactly right..no doubt!
Excellent video. I hope this makes it into every history book.
They'll just change it and add their lies! We need to spread it ourselves!
This is so amazing😍
My infinite thanks. As the humanity keep digging... hmmm!!!
There more hidden truth surface and prevail, the lessor the thieves become .
😂😂😂😂This channel is playing B people like many. Danes are W people. Always have been. Bs never left Afr except as slvs.
Damn 😮 ✊🏿.
Great content
Most welcome. Thanks!
Surely people realize that the European Hunter Gatherers had dark skin? They were the first Europeans at all.
Yes, you're right, but that was tens of thousands of years ago. The story of the Dubhgaill is far more recent. 9th century AD.
Except these are not hunter gatherers. That term is often used as a trope to mean uncivilised, non innovative and backwards. This is not the account being presented here!!
🤨
Were their skeletons negroid If you find an elephant 🐘 skull 💀 in Europe does that mean elephant herds roamed in Europe
@ 🤨
I have added the books you mentioned to my library. Thank you for this video. Dubhgail settlement of Denmark in the 800's AD is a story that needs to be shared.
Excellent. Many thanks, and welcome. 😊
That's cool!
According to DNA analysis I have 8.7%Scandinavian DNA often wandered about that. Now I know.
Thank you so much for this 🙏🏾!!
Thanks so much for the video and info
You are so welcome!
Read book " when the world was black".
Greetings,
The original Europeans are Black ppl❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
But but but ... they were only talking about their hair color because the natives had blonde and brown hair, so black hair stood out to them.
But but but ... they only meant "black" symbolically because they were the enemy.
You forgot this amazing one: ‘’But but but…. they said black to signify ‘unknown origin’, not that they were actually black”. Can’t begin to tell you how much garbage we’ve had to delete in this comment section to maintain the
high standards of our channel. 😊
Brilliant!!...keep on going opening people`s eyes with raw facts..thanks for your profound researching and hard work!🙏👍
Thank you! Will do!
Could the European title of “Duke” find its origins in the word “Dubh”? I find it very phonetically similar and that often means there’s some connection! I’ve also heard it pronounced “Duff”. Excellent research and presentation.
Many thanks! Well, the Dubhgaill likely came from West and Central Africa, which is where we found similar words for 'black', such as among the Lingala (Ndombe)(Sounds eerily like an Africanised ''Dubh'), Yoruba (Dudu), Fulani (Wondude) Twi (Tuntum) Ewe (Dzu)
Wolof (Ndiay) etc etc.
Traditionally the title " duke" was reserved for edomites and can be found in Bible. Interesting that they automatically call the Dubh " gentiles" , VERY interesting....
Wow
Racialism,is a trick to divide men,Heavenly Father,sees all men the same,look at the Flower,look at Birds,beauty in colour,beyond words

Gall or Lochlannach was the term used in Ireland and Scotland for Norse or Danish raiders, the Dubhgaill and the Fionngaill. The Dubhgaill were not of African descent. Translated from the Gaelic, dubh means dark haired, whereas Fionn means blonde or white haired. Both Irish Gaeilge and Scottish Gaelic typically use terms such as dubh, fionn, ruadh to refer to people's hair. For example, Black Douglas was called that because of his black hair and not for any other reason. Rob Roy MacGregor had the nickname Roy (Ruadh), again because of his hair, which was red.
You are lying and making up fake history. Translated from the Gaelic, dubh means black, AND NOTHING ELSE. A quick question we put to AI (ChatGPT) about any possible medieval allusion to hair colour by the word dubh brought this response: ''The claim that dubh referred specifically to hair color lacks direct evidence in historical Gaelic sources. Instead, historical texts use dubh to describe complexion......In Foras Feasa ar Éirinn (The History of Ireland) by Geoffrey Keating, Ethiopians are described as fir dubha ("black men").''' .......The era of lies is over. So stop it.
@@african-history-fountain👍
Yes, Black people and Black Royals Ruled England, Ireland, Scotland Wales, the rest of Europe, Asia, etc etc when Black people travelled freely from country to country. Apparently, the world was much smaller back then, so travel across land and water was much easier than it is now. So, due to natural disasters, higher levels of water earthquake etc etc the land mass spreads so travelling to other countries has become much
longer.
Never heard of this but not surprise about any cover up. Its been the eurocentric way
tHIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO.
Thanks for watching. 🙏
I wholeheartedly agree the African influence on Europe is wildly underrecognized, and it no way strikes me as unlikely that black Africans could've conquered Denmark at some point, seeing as there's abundant evidence the Vikings were far ranging enough to explore the coast of Africa, and almost certainly weren't the only people in Europe and West Africa with that level of seamanship. But I don't think the term "black" to refer to people with no further qualifiers is proof of dark skin colour.
"Black" as a shorthand for race and nothing else is a modern convention. "Black with no qualifiers to specify hair" definitely doesn't rule out skin, but it's the same the other way around, "black without mentions of skin doesn't prove hair". In the same way that English has very clear linguistic evidence of having been conquered by Danish speaking peoples and French speaking peoples, if the Danish were conquered by black Africans for a meaningful amount of time, you'd expect there to be linguistic evidence.
I'm not saying the evidence doesn't exist, this is obviously just an introductory video on the topic, but if there *is* more evidence I would like to hear it.
You’re OVERTHINKING it because of your racial hangups and conditioning. The London Quarterly Review and other credible sources stating the black race of the Dubhgaill should be MORE than enough for you to take it on the chin, figuratively, and move on. If any of those sources had stated authoritatively based on their research that white Europeans sailed to West Africa a thousand years ago, would you be raising all these questions and doubts and demanding ‘further evidence’? NO. So get rid of your conditioned thinking with regard to Africa and Africans. That’s your only problem. Africans civilised the world, and pioneered seafaring and international trade thousands of years before any other races existed. We have the videos that prove that on this channel. So you have no reason whatsoever to be sceptical unless you have been miseducated like majority of people on Earth, about Africa and Africans.
@african-history-fountain ??? Essentially every time I've heard "xyz historic black cultural group was actually white people" it's been wrong and motivated by extreme and overt white supremacism, so yeah, I WOULD doubt it. I don't think you have a racist motivation, "reverse racism" doesn't exist. But you're still saying something with no evidence beyond "somebody else said it", and and if they had good evidence, presumably you know that good evidence, which makes me frustrated about why you're opposed to elaborating on the topic AT ALL.
Of course black Africans were sailing the west coast of Europe, but that's not the claim your vid is making.
@@african-history-fountain no, when I hear "this part of POC history was actually white people instead" I definitely ask for more evidence lol.
But asking for evidence isn't just because I doubt it, it's because I like learning about history. If I wanted to learn "xyz is true because so and so said so" and leave it at that there'd be no point reading or watching history content, I could just read the titles and call it a day. Anything interesting to learn past that point is evidence or speculation.
@@LB-vf2hm Fair enough. Here's a PDF for MacRitchie's 'Ancient and Modern Britons'': That should keep you busy for a while. There's a lot in there...😊www.moorishmack.org/uploads/1/2/4/9/124977120/ancient_and_modern_britons_vol._1.pdf
@african-history-fountain man, this is your source? It's a book from 1884 and by the second page of actual text he's made it clear he thinks ancient Britons must've been black because there's no way a white man could be a spear wielding "savage" and "cannibal" like he thinks ancient Britons were.
Where about did the dubhgaill come from? What happened to them? Where are their descendants in Ireland, Denmark etc?
Great questions. The Dubhgaill likely originated from regions connected to Europe through trade, migration, and conquest. Candidates include West Africa (Sahel), North Africa (Nubia/Egypt), and possibly the Horn of Africa, as these regions historically connected to European populations through complex networks of movement and exchange. Regarding their descendants, many of them may have been massacred and/or exiled after their eventual subjugation by the dominant majority. Alternatively (or simultaneously), generational dilution may have occurred. Don't forget the Dubhgaill were a much smaller population than the surrounding native European population. Over nearly 1,200 years, continuous intermarriage with those light-skinned populations would make visible African ancestry increasingly rare. But DNA evidence (genetic markers) WILL remain among many modern 'white' Danes today, if they did an ancestry DNA test. Interestingly, many Europeans in recent years have done ancestry DNA tests and received shocking results showing a fair degree of ''sub-saharan'' African ancestry.
They we're genocides off, MANY we're sold into slavery to the new world ( Caribbean, North am.) And that is why many Melanated descendants of slavery have " irish sounding " last names and where you get terms like " black irish" ! The record keeping of this event gives things such as name , height, physical description ( skin color, physical build) and what particular skill the person had and interestingly enough many we're distillers and brew masters ! And that's why and rum is produced really only in the Caribbean, because they really only had sugarcane at their disposal because they knew how to make whiskeys also That's how Nearest Green taught Jack Daniel's how to make whiskey ! Noone ever asked how Nearest already had this Skill to teach Jack ! Jack Daniel's is a Black Man's recipe and today Fawn Weaver his Great great great grand niece makes Nearest Green whiskey one of the most awarded whiskeys! If you look at the irish traditionally they have always been a poor famine stricken land so where would all of these black people with Irish name's come from ??? That's why later the story of Wht irish "slave's " was concocted in an attempt to cover up this History! And because of this history That's why the irish were thought of as non-white and relieved terrible treatment , the movie Gangs of New York shows this ! There's to much information to text but look it up VERY eye opening and interesting !....
* received such terrible treatment
Ever heard of the black Irish of Jamaica?
The Dubh in Ireland were defeated by The English and Scottish, eventually were sold into slavery
@@reyex9545 Excellent observation. There were indeed large numbers of people known as the 'Black Irish' in medieval Ireland, and it is more than conceivable that they were shipped off into slavery after the defeat of Ireland during the Elizabethan wars of the late 16th century and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland in the mid-17th century, which devastated large parts of the Irish population.
I've read a lot of Irish, British, and European history, and never before AD. 1800 is there a mention of non-White persons. It seems that there were no people of African origin in any European country until after the "Age of conquest", (1800s).
Before 1800 AD. "Black" in this part of the world simply meant "ancestry completely unknowable". " He is a black stranger to me" means that he is unknown to me or anybody I know.
There might be more evidence of an African based civilisation in Northern Europe, I hope you can uncover it.
You will be well educated on this channel, because you have clearly been horribly miseducated. See our video titled “How Europe Celebrates the Moors”. The evidence of black Moorish rule between 711 and 1492 (app 800 years) is all over Europe, from public statues to coats of arms to family crests, to actual festivals held today in Europe where thousands of Europeans wear blackface to commemorate the Moorish era. Happy learning. ua-cam.com/video/EEK-pl3VyKM/v-deo.htmlsi=mkMEY1-sU2dYtSe6
Unless you're trying to suggest that nobody in North Africa was black, the extreme and continuous cultural exchange across the Mediterranean for all of European history essentially guarantees black North Africans must've been to southern Europe at some point. I'm not going to get into the argument about whether the Moors and Egyptians specifically were more ethnically Arab or "Black" in the modern sense of the word (a lot of people argue about this and even if it were definitely either/or I don't think its the slam dunk people treat it like it is), but if there were any (and regardless of who there are, there almost certainly were) black ethnic groups in Northern Africa, some of them probably ended up in southern Europe at some point.
Black people enslaved whote people and almost caused our extintion and you complain about becomming slaves for 400 years.
Swarthy complexions used to be referred to as black just ask 🇮🇪
@@MatthewMcGilchrist-fw4lv Black people were called 'swarthy' in the medieval British Isles. They were also referred to as 'Blue men', 'Moors', and 'Blackamoors'.
A notable figure named Swarthye, an African man, worked as a porter for Sir Edward Wynter in Gloucestershire in the 1560s. The name "Swarthye" was explicitly tied to his dark complexion. In a court case from 1567, it was recorded that Sir Edward Wynter ordered Swarthye to whip a white servant, John Guy, demonstrating his prominent role despite racial dynamics of the time.
(Source: Records of Sir Edward Wynter’s estate, Gloucestershire Archives.)
Danes could Very well = Dan- ites !
They are! Dan was changed to den to confuse
Yoruba for black, stranger, and white are Adu/du/dudu, Aganyin/Agoyin/Goyin, and Afin/Fin/Fifin/Funfun. Whoever they were, coining others as Dubhgail and Fingail, they were certainly speaking a dialect of Yoruba.
Incredible. Many thanks.
@eh1702 you KNOW NOTHING about me.
Could it be Duhgaill & Dogon refer to the same people?
@@jermainc7239 Interesting suggestion. It IS possible, considering the geographical position of the Dogon in Mali, right up there in the northern Sahel, and their famed astronomical genius, charting the movement of stars. They could well have ventured up north into Europe to see what was going on out there. Wouldn't put it past them at all.😊
One word question: Archaeogenetics?
The problem with DNA studies is that they are only as credible as the people conducting them. So we don't place too much value on them on this channel, preferring instead to rely on ancient historical accounts and testimonies, plus archeological evidence.
This is correct
I'm interested to know where any of the books referencing the Dubh as being African? yes they were black, but "Black" does not mean African.
Does white not indicate European ancestry? Or is it one rule for you and another rule for others?
The Irish were given the N word by Britons back in the day.
It's not a wonder that the word "Dubhgall" is an Irish surname.
Gives this story good context.
@@sk8city476so it's moved from hair to shields. Soon it'll be underwear 😂
@@sk8city476 historians lie, i have books written in the 1700's that tell a different "history" Antrhopology shows that the first so called vikings were also "black" you're conjecturing, If the oldest bones of the vikings are negorid than the original vikings were negroid.
@@KanakaBae and Dublin in Ireland also comes from Where the majority of them settled
So where is the DNA evidence?
Who are you expecting to get the ''DNA evidence'' from. Us? We are not geneticists, but historians. Go and ask your scientists to conduct the required large-scale DNA studies if they aren't afraid of what they might reveal. Our guess is they choose not to. But that does not invalidate the historical facts. We studied history on this Earth and reached historical conclusions based on archeology, historical accounts and testimonies, linguistics and other forms of analysis long before the advent of DNA, so the absence of 'DNA evidence' is immaterial and irrelevant to us. We have other valid methods of investigation.
@@african-history-fountain Where are the graves of these black vikings.
@@MegaDavyk graves? Didn't vikings burn the dead on a longboat out at sea? What the hell are you on about 😅
@@roseanncampbell3168 So you think they had a ship to burn for every viking that died, interesting. Does that include the woman and children who died?
@MegaDavyk they built funeral pyres and burnt their dead. So yes, women and children were burnt on them too. Only the Christianised ones started to bury their dead, a d most of them had died out by then.
You need to get a clue
Okay but what has become of all the mulattos???? Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
You should tell us. What did you do with them? ........Actually this history is 1200 years old, so it's conceivable that the Dubhgaill - a much smaller population outnumbered by the surrounding native Europeans, slowly blended into the European population via intermarriage etc, or perhaps some were massacred or exiled in the wars against them etc, or a combination of all these factors...But genetic markers will be present in the current Danish population, showing some African ancestry.
@african-history-fountain I dont know maybe they left 😉
@@african-history-fountain Sorry I realize that after 800 years there wont be any visual traits of Africans left except in the dna.
@@carstenfischer5098 Yeah, but people don't just 'leave' en masse, do they?
@@african-history-fountain no they dont 😉
I miss the black roots of China and Japan.

The name Femke presented as a Dutch/German name is an ethnic Dubghaill name which was brought from Denmark to the Germanic areas through migration....
Hey thats why I always thought that actress femke janson was mixed 😮
Very interesting. Sounds related to the popular Nigerian Yoruba name 'Femi'.
Dubhgaill is IRISH gaelic not German
Superbe je savais déjà que les été les premiers sur cette terre européenne avant l arrivée des Yamaiah ( excuse je n' ai pas ortographe) qui vivait dans des grottes et on pillé tout les royauté noir d Europe en volent les châteaux avec les terres ( Angleterre, Allemagne, France, Norvège, Danemark...

Black sea fearers wouldve been Somalian.
(Interesting how no historian talks about India being the oldest .
Indo-European, Indo-China, Indo needs to get looked into properly - but no-one does
WRONG. Somalians were not the only black seafarers in antiquity. The entire world is populated by the descendants of ancient black African seafarers and explorers, and they weren't just from Somalia or the Horn of Africa.
@african-history-fountain that's the trade route. So ,, if your right and I am WRONG. , pray tell us, which African Tribe is it that you speak of - as you know there are many.

Wow 🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
Black Viking leader Blue tooth is a great example....
Absolutely correct. Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson was referreed to as a 'dark thane', ie a black aristocrat/landowner, and became king of Denmark in 958, and even conquered and ruled over Norway for a few years in the 970s.
"Black" wasn't used to describe a human phenotype back then.
Blue Tooth was a white man with a "dark" aura.
They where Black
The visuals are absolutely amazing/beautiful!
Thanks for appreciating, and welcome. 😊
So this is what all this Black Viking talk is about...Ok, it's making sense. My only question is were these Dubgail indiginous to Europe? Because there are Asians that are Black not African that are indiginous to Asia right now. Just a question, because Europe isn't that hospitable in terms of weather to melanin dominant people. Since we don't know much about these people, we will never know if they were adapted to the weather or they were from Africa directly!!!
Every black person on Earth is ''FROM AFRICA DIRECTLY''. Even non-black people are ''FROM AFRICA DIRECTLY'', talk less of actual blacks. Lighter skinned humans are simply descendants of AFRICANS who left the continent tens of thousands of years ago and had their physical features altered due to various possible reasons, from climatic adaptation to genetic alteration. Any black person today who thinks he is ''not from Africa'' should go and conduct a DNA ancestry test, and save himself (or herself) from self deceit.
1)Humanity originates in Africa.
2)All Humams are Africans!!
Weather and climate does not affect black people in that way.
Even Eskimos, Inuit, Sami etc were all originally black living in those cold dark climates and we're fine.
The reading n they are paler skinned now is because of being whited out, not due to less sun making their skin change.
Deeply melanated people were everywhere, not just coming out of Africa.
Caucasian people came from other origins then genocide out black people in their civilizations due to envy then white out what was left of black people which it only takes a few generations before a black family has white looking grandchildren then all evidence of black ancestry in no longer visible. They didn't have camera to do family portraits back then but it is now showing up in ancestry DNA tests
Great stuff, well done and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for making it and sharing it with us. Definitely there have a been a million lifetimes of true history forgotten, either accidently or purposely for sure. It has been my research and intuition, that Atlantis was a global civilization, the city in North Africa is where these 'Black Strangers' came from.
Funny how history can repeat itself, have you ever seen video of the NBA before black people integrated? Hilariously lame at best! UA-cam, 'Globetrotters vs. Boston Celtics", 👍🏀👍
I agree with you Atlantis was a global civilization. In fact, what has been suppressed was it was headquartered in North America, and was a black civilization. In fact, occultist Aliester Crowley confirmed this by citing the root A-tl as meaning "black woman."
Moreover, maps from 300 to 500 years ago refered to North and South America as "Atlantis" as confirmed by the book The New Atlantis by the famed Francis Bacon in the 17th century which was about North America.
Well, we do have a year-old video about Atlantis which places it in West Africa (the Richat Structure in Mauritania). You might want to check it out, although the audio is a bit iffy as it was one of our early videos. ua-cam.com/video/Wp07ZvHZ6Vo/v-deo.html
Thanks, and welcome. 😊
Thank you!
More than welcome. 🙏
The sea peoples were a vast population of black mullato and other brown skin peoples who spent their lives on raiding ships. These warriors were widespread it would make sense, Carthage had a vast powerful navy the truth can easily be discovered. They mixed with Europeans and easily blended in within 2 or 3 generations. DNA holds all the truth to prove it. Seek and ye shall find.
You have the knowledge. Well done! 😊
Bless to the voice of this educational meaning of truth bless unto thee every school should have this
This is what u call a sideways compliment. On 1 hand it lays out the history & accomplishment of so called black people in regions modern history has not them not to have played any part in. But on the other hand it blatantly enforces historical inaccuracies historically & continually promoted by so called academia and that is that caucasoid peoples r the original inhabitants of places like scottland(scott means black) or Ireland which was Iberia as in people from the Iberian Peninsula who were not caucasion. The dutch, Portuguese English,turkish,german, nth sth & central americas & adjoining islands, Polynesian melaneian,micronesian,Chinese,Australian etc have been documented as being and/or all beginning as dark complected people. So this notion that the dark people came from somewhere else into these lands is a farce & Flat out lie which perpetuates eurocentrcity which fosters white supremacist attitudes whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Very inaccurate reading of the documentary. You need to understand the concept and relevance of dating. The video is referring to the period of the 9th century AD, not 4,000 to 40,000 BCE, which is the era you are referring to, when all of Europe was inhabited by black Africans, as shown by the discovery of the remains of Grimaldi Man, Ice Man, Cheddar Man, etc. By the 9th century AD, the European majority population was most definitely Caucasian. The Dubhgaill were an ethnic minority group in a largely white Europe.
how did they become all whyte???
Probably due to a combination of factors such as Intermarriage leading to absorption into the larger native European population, possible massacres in wars, exile, etc, etc...
It will not takes 3 generations for a black family having children with white people for the grandchildren to look white.
That's how they all became whyte
