I have always wondered about our traditional religions, our African religions. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. Khanimambo as we say in Changane in Mozambique.
For the last few years i have felt like something was missing. Realising it was my connection to african, to my ancestral home to my people. What would been my language, what was my religion before we were forced to convert. I Start to feel a lot of resentment, the European took all the riches of Africa, the history and still taking. Started to realised my ancestors are guiding me back, you need your history you need your ancestors. When you reconnect to your ancestors your spiritual school begins.
Very informative. This is something that Africans and people of African descent in the diaspora should know about, so they can see that they can live without white Jesus or Muhammad.

The Yoruba religion of IFA was the bedrock of the incredible civilization of IFE. Unlike all the religions you covered, it is a living world religion practiced in Nigeria now and all throughout the African diaspora Latin America especially. It is also practiced in Japan by Japanese Brazilians, in Russia, Italy and throughout Europe by European coverts. It is a living world religion that inspired the creation of an ancient powerful kingdom. It just seems it is more relevant than the others you covered being that is a growing thriving religion now.
Quite a few books have been written about Yoruba traditional religion. A basic general survey is "Yoruba beliefs and sacrificial rites" by J. Omosade Awolalu. Some more specialist studies include "Yoruba sacred kingship - a power like that of the gods" by Funso S Afolayan and John Pemberton III; "Africa's Ogun : old world and new" edited by Sandra T Barnes (includes chapters by Adeboye Babalola and Bade Ajuwon as well as various "Caucasian" academics); "Yoruba ritual" by Margaret Thompson Drewal: "Black critics & kings : the hermeneutics of power in Yoruba society" by Andrew Apter.

I'm not religious and gave up sky daddy being real. But I love hearing about old religions that were mostly lost due to all the violence of the Abrahamic religions. I always find it so sad to see how brainwashed so many Africans are with Islam and Christianity. Great video!
@KingdomofCush You obviously have never read the bible. So before you come making uneducated guesses about your "holy" book, try reading it 1st. Not the just verses that big mamma & pastah told you to read.That fairytale is violent from start to finish.
@KingdomofCush You have to distinguish too between the colonial conquest at the end of the 19th century and the missionaries who came before then. The Yorubas for instance in Abeokuta included christian believers before the British "created" Nigeria. The early missionaries did not not advocate colonial rule. The were looking for converts. It was only the later generation of missionaries that believed that colonialism was the best way to convert Africa to Christianity.

Great Video. The Kingdom of Nri is Very Fascinating. Its Basically what Peter and Paul wanted to do to the Roman Empire in the First Century A.D. but Rome countered by hijacking and twisting the religion aka called Roman Catholicism and every denomination and religion that came out of it example protestant, greek orthodox, Judaism and Islam.
@SAQER SAQER I agree. Cultural appropriation is bad enough when it is little things. But when others try to appropriate an entire group of people that is not their own, it is truly ignorant/rude/disrespectful.
Yes it is reminiscent of the Israelites journey through the wilderness into the promise land being fed by manna from heaven and nature (quails falling out of the sky)
@@TheCritic9196 It is interesting that many religious cultures in Africa are corruptions of other faiths. One must also consider that many African peoples traveled for trade etc. gaining knowledge of other cultures and stories. Israel at the time of Solomon was also a major hub, as he was world-renowned for his wisdom.

Abraham was not involved with Judiasm. Judaism is the term coined by the Jews after Judah. This was around the 8th century. Abraham was around long before his great grandson, Judah, was born and the term Judah was coined after 1 son of Yasher'El. Why would Abraham disregard his other great grandsons? How did Abraham, a Hebrew man, become a Jew? Please consider who change all the Hebrew names & coin these religions to suit their own interest. Where did Abraham ever announce that he created this Judaism?
Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is the most ancient ancestor of Africa and the world. They were heros to babylonians, idolised by Greeks and never was colonised. Their secret is that, from first human Adam to now, uninterrupted worship of only and only one true God in land of Ethiopia. They are always known for their veneration of One true God and their prostration before the him. To this date > 97% remain as deeply God beleivers & practicing (Islam or Christianity) Sun ☀ moon 🎑 idol worship and variety of Satan, devil worship in the name of local religion and witchcraft only led the rest of Africa to abyss and horror of colonisation. Follow the living ancestors of humanity, the Ethiopians in pure return to the One Creator God and to the Ethiopians spiritual technology, then Africa shall rise up again.
True, but remember Africa as we know it today was demacated by colonisers, the original Ethiopia extended to the better part of Africa to the extent that even the Atlantic Ocean was called Ethiopian Ocean. There is a real need to research what Africa was like b4 colonization ever started. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
@Ario The name Ethiopia is biblically mentioned >40 times hence 'adoption from Europeans' is incorrect. The first human Adam was in Ethiopia, science also confirms that Ethiopia is the origin of mankind from where it spread worldwide. Interms of kingdom, all ancient Ethiopian Kingdom were based, in different parts of current day Ethiopia 🇪🇹 but the kingdom territory varied from time. At the peak of their power, they ruled as far as Yemen and Syria in the east, Egypt in the North, and ruled many African countries from its west and south. But through time the kingdom narrowed until it finally ended up with current day Ethiopia.
Ethiopia initially had its own traditional religion that was similar to all other African countries. Frumentius brought Christianity to Ethiopia so it was not always practiced there. Orthodox Christianity is not indigenous to Ethiopia.
@Ario 'Cush' and 'Ethiopia' are both Ge'ez words (pre Hebrew ancient language) which has its own letter and special non voweled writing system. Ge'ez is currently liturgical language, but also spoken in some parts of Ethiopia. Many Pre biblical original Ethiopian books written in Ge'ez (eg book of Enoch) and other ancient Geez books still exists that contains these two words. Both words were also names of ancient pre biblical Ethiopian Kings. Old testament 'kush' as well as new testament 'Ethiopia' is then loan words from Ge'ez to the respective writers of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek as Ge'ez existed before both.
@Ario The current day Ethiopia is the place of the first civilization on earth and the home of Adam, first person. This first kingdom lasted for several centuries with varying size, at different times: Zanzibar, Ghana and Mali was taken part of it from west Africa. Queens from Ethiopia were invited to rule as far as India and Vietnam and they did. Yemen and Syria was also included in Ethiopian kingdom at some point. Northwards, Ethiopians have documents of ancient Ge'ez showing their rule in Egypt but has always been ignored for centuries. Recent archiological findings start to unearths Egyptian flow from Ethiopic (Grandmother), to Nubia (mother), to Egypt (Child). Have a look at the following, mobile.eurweb.com/2016/03/01/black-pharaohs-the-kings-of-kush-egypts-25th-dynasty/ face2faceafrica.com/article/the-black-pharaohs-from-the-kingdom-of-kush-who-ruled-over-egypt-for-centuries
Fun fact: The place which is now modern day iraq and west iran was used to be called assuristan. In which "assur" means demon/monster and "istan" means place in old indian sanskrit language. It was the place where Mesopotamian civilization started and concepts of evil relgions emerged. Also west says that it was the oldest civilization which is not true it was the second oldest and the oldest one was the indus valley civilization which was in modern day india.
This is cool and all, can’t speak for the other Countries but as a Zimbabwean... You were off the mark by a mile about Mwari. That’s our word for God and it is Christian. Traditional Shonas are about spirituality and ancestors, not religion. Start with a search on Mbuya Nehanda, a spiritual leader and it will lead you down the right path
I beg to differ Taku Richmore...i have known about Mwari and most of what he mentioned from other local sources. The Shona people have always been monotheistic and Mwari has always been his name...it was adopted when Christian Missionaries came to Zim. I agree with you that ancestral worship and animism is also a part of it( but they are not revered as gods).
If you have read and studied the Bible it’s uncanny how similar the stories, word choice and spiritual ideals are in Christianity and various African tribes.
As mentioned elsewhere, when history and stories are carried by word of mouth, corruption, and origin get lost in the mix. God would have all his children learn the truth, but one must search for it. Adam worshipped Jesus(Jehovah)...All the prophets to Noah also worshipped him. All the children of Noah had the knowledge to some degree. Ancient Eastern culture has similarities as well. Ancient Israelites were light-skinned children of Shem of whom the Savior would come(that being the line of Judah). All can come unto the Lord, but only those who seek the truth in earnest will find him.
@@AJMALCOMB Yes, they were. All of the Israelites in general were so. That is not my opinion but the testimony of actual Israelites. Here is a Synagogue where they worshipped around the first century. ua-cam.com/video/ZUW1OM8XwLM/v-deo.html
@@AJMALCOMB Yes there are the words of Abraham, words of the children of Joseph. Archeology of Ur. Testimony in the Bible. I would first suggest doing a good study of the Song of Solomon. The writer is a woman and she not only describes the King but also the women of Judah. It is unfortunate that many today try to weaponize words, rather than seeking understanding. I hope you are among the latter. Here are a few links. ua-cam.com/video/IC-RQKMS7nw/v-deo.html www.comeuntochrist.org/requests/free-book-of-mormon (Nephi describes their appearance within the first book, and others do so later). The book of Abraham also sheds light on the tower event. The Bible is a good source if one can read carefully and willing to see the truth.
Follow the ANTs logic, not emotional-imagination. THE absolute LEGEND in MAURI Continental HERstory, is the pre-Adamite TITAN GIANT King ATLAS (Antlas?) of ATLANTIS (Antlantis?) City at what is now called the RICHAT in MAURitania, which in post-Adamite (not midevil) times was called northern GHANA. ua-cam.com/video/76e-A7RNjKI/v-deo.html Try reading (decoding) more Greek literature (PLATO etc...) instead of that King James crap. Search and see (de-code) HERODOTUS MAPS for the source of the [now dried] western branch of the NYLE River that flowed into Lake Chad. ua-cam.com/video/U5kEzxOb-3c/v-deo.html Thru King ATLAS 5 Wives he had 5 sets of Twin Daughters who established a Global TROPICAN Empire of 10 Queen-domes all around OUR planet. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(mythology) The Global Empire of ATLANTIS is named after OUR GOD-Father ATLAS whose Capitol city 'ATLANTES' was at the Richat in MAURitania south of the ATLAS Mountains. The city was washed into the Atlantic Mar (ocean/sea/gulf) when the 2 Mediterranean Lakes overflowed from end of Ice Age rapid polar ice melts. Giggle Earth it. Greeks can't claim Western Afrikhan (MAURgreb) my-story anymore. See the HIJACK! Those statue pics THEY always shove thru OUR eyeballs when referencing Greek personages were ALL carved during Midevil times, NOT ancient times. Not one! Ancient Melanoid so-called Hindu (SIDDHI) statues are more accurate depictions of OUR Melanoid ancestors than those Greek fakes. Greek mythology (my-theology) is CODED West Afrikhan mystery (my-story). Re-claim it and DECODE it. Get real!!! Re-imagine LOCKS of hair on the head of EVERY ANTLAS statue holding up OUR world! LOCKS are LOGICAL. Look at the hair on the King ANTLAS statue in front of the Rockefeller Center facing the so-called Saint Pa-Tarik (PATRIX?). Cornrow LOCKS!!! The Rockefellers (Rottenchilds) know OUR true STORIES. Userpers (serpents?)! WE are the real Fellows-of-the-Rock. Godfrey Higgins stressed that MELANOID Buddhic (Jaina?) culture spanned from east Azia to Britanya. Higgins worked at the British Museum and saw much of OUR stolen artifacts that are still classified SECRET to those un-initiated. YOU have no idea what all THEY got of OURS in those vaults. Recently LAIRD SCRANTON has come to the same conclusion Higgins presented. Laird re-connected these dots thru language and symbology: Dogon (Atlantians), Buddhians, Khemeti, Chineze, Sofis, Maori, BlackFelas, the original dark Scotirish, and others. Support him. www.ancient-origins.net/laird-scranton Heal that MYsterial/OURstorial/HERstorial PARADIGM with 'Radical Truth'. Mansa Musa was a bling-bling FOOL according to the GRIOTS. He opened the Afrikhan Maurgreb (black west) to the parasitic psycho-virus of Arabisalaam, which led to the implosion of OUR last Maurgreb Empire. Curses forever upon Mansa. Stop PARROTING, if you've been! Just ask the DOGON, or any NY Jew (Ferengi?) about Mansa's show-off policy wisdom. The Fool had neither. Fcuk re-membering Mansa. Dis-member HIM. Remember King ANTLAs. Remember ANTLANTEs City. Remember the ANTLANTIAN Empire Qween Domes. Remember The TITANTs. Could it be that the Presenter and Commenters western PARROT conditioning reveals it's depth with this topic? The Jesuwizard enemy loves OUR self mis-directing such as still calling ourselves 'Africans'. There were NO 'Africans' prior to the first Phunic War battles (300-bc). Period. Dark people were called MAURS going back 50,000+ years. Prior to OUR Phunic losses WE didn't use vowels. The Roman Latinization of spoken Phoenixian has US still under it's spell (SPELL?). Pharaoh Narmer's name has been cloaked by vowel manipulation along with many other Anglish words. His name was/is NARMAUR. This spelling better serves US tactically. Decode all Anglish words containing M...R and be amazed.

Another brilliant take on our history. Thanks
Excellent presentation, as usual.

Great information!
African spirituality is mainly runs through the spirit realm of ur ancestors (dead relatives) they mainly guide us
Could you please make a video about the Silte and harari people of Ethiopia? That would be great
mur the-wise ok

Great Videos
What up HT. Love your vids. Could you try to inform us on some of the ancestral diets? Or do you have a vid yet?
I'm not religious and gave up sky daddy being real. But I love hearing about old religions that were mostly lost due to all the violence of the Abrahamic religions. I always find it so sad to see how brainwashed so many Africans are with Islam and Christianity. Great video!
@KingdomofCush You obviously have never read the bible. So before you come making uneducated guesses about your "holy" book, try reading it 1st. Not the just verses that big mamma & pastah told you to read.That fairytale is violent from start to finish.
@KingdomofCush You have to distinguish too between the colonial conquest at the end of the 19th century and the missionaries who came before then. The Yorubas for instance in Abeokuta included christian believers before the British "created" Nigeria. The early missionaries did not not advocate colonial rule. The were looking for converts. It was only the later generation of missionaries that believed that colonialism was the best way to convert Africa to Christianity.
Plz dont pour both of them together izlam is much more worse way worse
And im not even Christian btw

Through Re-Lie-Gion, more hate came than love, more judgement came than understanding.
More war than peace, more fear than calm, and all with the Ultimate Aim: Power and the maintenance thereof.Through religion inequality became more apparent and self-titled men and women preached words they did not understand.Believers were subjugated by dogmas and doctrines that had no real divine principles because the humans themselves who preached these words did not even understand what divine was...

Do you think any of the traditional African religions survived in some form among the enslaved peoples in America.?
Hoodoo in Louisiana I know of👍🏿
It's a variation of a Traditional African religion
America mabye Voodoo The South Americas yes
Candomble, Lukumi, Palo Mayombe.
Great Video. The Kingdom of Nri is Very Fascinating. Its Basically what Peter and Paul wanted to do to the Roman Empire in the First Century A.D. but Rome countered by hijacking and twisting the religion aka called Roman Catholicism and every denomination and religion that came out of it example protestant, greek orthodox, Judaism and Islam.
Also Waaqeffannaa religion among the Oromo Nation of Ethiopia and Kenya as they resisted conquest from the Abyssinian Empire to the North.
Is it me or did that last part sound like the story of Abraham
Nope. It is just you. Israelites were not Africans.
@SAQER SAQER I agree. Cultural appropriation is bad enough when it is little things. But when others try to appropriate an entire group of people that is not their own, it is truly ignorant/rude/disrespectful.
Yes it is reminiscent of the Israelites journey through the wilderness into the promise land being fed by manna from heaven and nature (quails falling out of the sky)
@@TheCritic9196 It is interesting that many religious cultures in Africa are corruptions of other faiths. One must also consider that many African peoples traveled for trade etc. gaining knowledge of other cultures and stories. Israel at the time of Solomon was also a major hub, as he was world-renowned for his wisdom.
@@karlshaner2453 Brodda we came from 3 descendents. Ham, Sham and Japheth. Do reesearch these guys were black like us. Jesus was black. Our religion is Christianity. We can't praise ancestors because they didn't create this life. Through accepting Yeshua we can all be saved including our ancestors
As an Afrikan American (really American Afrikan) I love learning about Black/Afrikan history esp how our ancestors in Afrika engineered great civilizations, organized unique cultures, and thrived spiritually and intellectually. Really love my African people on the continent and throughout the diaspora from Haiti, JA, Columbia & Brazil to Iran and Palestine! Black love and Afrika for the Afrikans!! ✊🏾✊🏾💪🏿💪🏿❤️❤️
WOW Mwari seems pure
Yoruba religion that persevered slavery , still found in Cuba and Brazil and Haiti... good job tho...
How did this spirituality preserve enslavement of Africans by Europeans ? Also what sources say this?
MALIK persevered not preserve
Spirituality not religion
Also Vdn in Haiti
Amazing

Waqa is oromo traditional religious we still follow it Waqa is the ancient egyptians god Afur means four.Ka Qa Waqa means god. #Afrika Means the four children of god. It describes the four sub groups of kemet people.Many #historians have clearly mentioned that the ancient Egypt Land-Black KMt or Kemet was stolen from native #African or ancient oromos
In fertile ground the roots spread... That "Home Team" Humus. Mana.
Now I see what they did there. "Nri" to "INRI"...
Who conquered the Nri?
Britain
So where we go from here?
I prefer the ausarian religion because it represents the peak of African existence
Abraham was not involved with Judiasm. Judaism is the term coined by the Jews after Judah. This was around the 8th century. Abraham was around long before his great grandson, Judah, was born and the term Judah was coined after 1 son of Yasher'El. Why would Abraham disregard his other great grandsons? How did Abraham, a Hebrew man, become a Jew? Please consider who change all the Hebrew names & coin these religions to suit their own interest. Where did Abraham ever announce that he created this Judaism?
Was there Black Africans in ancient Greece?
Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is the most ancient ancestor of Africa and the world. They were heros to babylonians, idolised by Greeks and never was colonised.
Their secret is that, from first human Adam to now, uninterrupted worship of only and only one true God in land of Ethiopia. They are always known for their veneration of One true God and their prostration before the him.
To this date > 97% remain as deeply God beleivers & practicing (Islam or Christianity)
Sun ☀ moon 🎑 idol worship and variety of Satan, devil worship in the name of local religion and witchcraft only led the rest of Africa to abyss and horror of colonisation. Follow the living ancestors of humanity, the Ethiopians in pure return to the One Creator God and to the Ethiopians spiritual technology, then Africa shall rise up again.
True, but remember Africa as we know it today was demacated by colonisers, the original Ethiopia extended to the better part of Africa to the extent that even the Atlantic Ocean was called Ethiopian Ocean. There is a real need to research what Africa was like b4 colonization ever started. Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
@Ario The name Ethiopia is biblically mentioned >40 times hence 'adoption from Europeans' is incorrect.
The first human Adam was in Ethiopia, science also confirms that Ethiopia is the origin of mankind from where it spread worldwide.
Interms of kingdom, all ancient Ethiopian Kingdom were based, in different parts of current day Ethiopia 🇪🇹 but the kingdom territory varied from time. At the peak of their power, they ruled as far as Yemen and Syria in the east, Egypt in the North, and ruled many African countries from its west and south. But through time the kingdom narrowed until it finally ended up with current day Ethiopia.
Ethiopia initially had its own traditional religion that was similar to all other African countries. Frumentius brought Christianity to Ethiopia so it was not always practiced there. Orthodox Christianity is not indigenous to Ethiopia.
@Ario 'Cush' and 'Ethiopia' are both Ge'ez words (pre Hebrew ancient language) which has its own letter and special non voweled writing system. Ge'ez is currently liturgical language, but also spoken in some parts of Ethiopia. Many Pre biblical original Ethiopian books written in Ge'ez (eg book of Enoch) and other ancient Geez books still exists that contains these two words. Both words were also names of ancient pre biblical Ethiopian Kings. Old testament 'kush' as well as new testament 'Ethiopia' is then loan words from Ge'ez to the respective writers of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek as Ge'ez existed before both.
@Ario The current day Ethiopia is the place of the first civilization on earth and the home of Adam, first person. This first kingdom lasted for several centuries with varying size, at different times: Zanzibar, Ghana and Mali was taken part of it from west Africa. Queens from Ethiopia were invited to rule as far as India and Vietnam and they did. Yemen and Syria was also included in Ethiopian kingdom at some point. Northwards, Ethiopians have documents of ancient Ge'ez showing their rule in Egypt but has always been ignored for centuries. Recent archiological findings start to unearths Egyptian flow from Ethiopic (Grandmother), to Nubia (mother), to Egypt (Child).

Was there Black/Africans in ancient Greece?
A lot of African religions preach the same thing
Fun fact: The place which is now modern day iraq and west iran was used to be called assuristan.
In which "assur" means demon/monster and "istan" means place in old indian sanskrit language.
It was the place where Mesopotamian civilization started and concepts of evil relgions emerged. Also west says that it was the oldest civilization which is not true it was the second oldest and the oldest one was the indus valley civilization which was in modern day india.

I agree, that the word of our Creator(God, or what name is called, etc) should be educated in churches, schools, etc!! Just Saying!!!
This is cool and all, can’t speak for the other Countries but as a Zimbabwean... You were off the mark by a mile about Mwari. That’s our word for God and it is Christian. Traditional Shonas are about spirituality and ancestors, not religion. Start with a search on Mbuya Nehanda, a spiritual leader and it will lead you down the right path
I beg to differ Taku Richmore...i have known about Mwari and most of what he mentioned from other local sources. The Shona people have always been monotheistic and Mwari has always been his name...it was adopted when Christian Missionaries came to Zim. I agree with you that ancestral worship and animism is also a part of it( but they are not revered as gods).
If you have read and studied the Bible it’s uncanny how similar the stories, word choice and spiritual ideals are in Christianity and various African tribes.
As mentioned elsewhere, when history and stories are carried by word of mouth, corruption, and origin get lost in the mix. God would have all his children learn the truth, but one must search for it. Adam worshipped Jesus(Jehovah)...All the prophets to Noah also worshipped him. All the children of Noah had the knowledge to some degree. Ancient Eastern culture has similarities as well. Ancient Israelites were light-skinned children of Shem of whom the Savior would come(that being the line of Judah). All can come unto the Lord, but only those who seek the truth in earnest will find him.
Karl Shaner you say the people from the tribe of Judah were light skin?
@@AJMALCOMB Yes, they were. All of the Israelites in general were so. That is not my opinion but the testimony of actual Israelites. Here is a Synagogue where they worshipped around the first century. ua-cam.com/video/ZUW1OM8XwLM/v-deo.html
Karl Shaner I have watched the video, but I am not 100% convinced. Do you have any other sources I could look into?
@@AJMALCOMB Yes there are the words of Abraham, words of the children of Joseph. Archeology of Ur. Testimony in the Bible. I would first suggest doing a good study of the Song of Solomon. The writer is a woman and she not only describes the King but also the women of Judah. It is unfortunate that many today try to weaponize words, rather than seeking understanding. I hope you are among the latter. Here are a few links. ua-cam.com/video/IC-RQKMS7nw/v-deo.html www.comeuntochrist.org/requests/free-book-of-mormon (Nephi describes their appearance within the first book, and others do so later). The book of Abraham also sheds light on the tower event. The Bible is a good source if one can read carefully and willing to see the truth.
East Africa?
Follow the ANTs logic, not emotional-imagination. THE absolute LEGEND in MAURI Continental HERstory, is the pre-Adamite TITAN GIANT King ATLAS (Antlas?) of ATLANTIS (Antlantis?) City at what is now called the RICHAT in MAURitania, which in post-Adamite (not midevil) times was called northern GHANA. ua-cam.com/video/76e-A7RNjKI/v-deo.html
Try reading (decoding) more Greek literature (PLATO etc...) instead of that King James crap.
Search and see (de-code) HERODOTUS MAPS for the source of the [now dried] western branch of the NYLE River that flowed into Lake Chad. ua-cam.com/video/U5kEzxOb-3c/v-deo.html
Thru King ATLAS 5 Wives he had 5 sets of Twin Daughters who established a Global TROPICAN Empire of 10 Queen-domes all around OUR planet. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(mythology)
The Global Empire of ATLANTIS is named after OUR GOD-Father ATLAS whose Capitol city 'ATLANTES' was at the Richat in MAURitania south of the ATLAS Mountains. The city was washed into the Atlantic Mar (ocean/sea/gulf) when the 2 Mediterranean Lakes overflowed from end of Ice Age rapid polar ice melts.
Giggle Earth it.
Greeks can't claim Western Afrikhan (MAURgreb) my-story anymore.
See the HIJACK!
Those statue pics THEY always shove thru OUR eyeballs when referencing Greek personages were ALL carved during Midevil times, NOT ancient times. Not one!
Ancient Melanoid so-called Hindu (SIDDHI) statues are more accurate depictions of OUR Melanoid ancestors than those Greek fakes.
Greek mythology (my-theology) is CODED West Afrikhan mystery (my-story).
Re-claim it and DECODE it.
Get real!!!
Re-imagine LOCKS of hair on the head of EVERY ANTLAS statue holding up OUR world! LOCKS are LOGICAL.
Look at the hair on the King ANTLAS statue in front of the Rockefeller Center facing the so-called Saint Pa-Tarik (PATRIX?). Cornrow LOCKS!!!
The Rockefellers (Rottenchilds) know OUR true STORIES. Userpers (serpents?)!
WE are the real Fellows-of-the-Rock.
Godfrey Higgins stressed that MELANOID Buddhic (Jaina?) culture spanned from east Azia to Britanya.
Higgins worked at the British Museum and saw much of OUR stolen artifacts that are still classified SECRET to those un-initiated.
YOU have no idea what all THEY got of OURS in those vaults.
Recently LAIRD SCRANTON has come to the same conclusion Higgins presented. Laird re-connected these dots thru language and symbology: Dogon (Atlantians), Buddhians, Khemeti, Chineze, Sofis, Maori, BlackFelas, the original dark Scotirish, and others. Support him.

Heal that MYsterial/OURstorial/HERstorial PARADIGM with 'Radical Truth'.
Mansa Musa was a bling-bling FOOL according to the GRIOTS.
He opened the Afrikhan Maurgreb (black west) to the parasitic psycho-virus of Arabisalaam, which led to the implosion of OUR last Maurgreb Empire.
Curses forever upon Mansa.
Stop PARROTING, if you've been!
Just ask the DOGON, or any NY Jew (Ferengi?) about Mansa's show-off policy wisdom.
The Fool had neither.
Fcuk re-membering Mansa.
Dis-member HIM.
Remember King ANTLAs.
Remember ANTLANTEs City.
Remember the ANTLANTIAN Empire Qween Domes.
Remember The TITANTs.
Could it be that the Presenter and Commenters western PARROT conditioning reveals it's depth with this topic?
The Jesuwizard enemy loves OUR self mis-directing such as still calling ourselves 'Africans'.
There were NO 'Africans' prior to the first Phunic War battles (300-bc). Period. Dark people were called MAURS going back 50,000+ years.
Prior to OUR Phunic losses WE didn't use vowels. The Roman Latinization of spoken Phoenixian has US still under it's spell (SPELL?).
Pharaoh Narmer's name has been cloaked by vowel manipulation along with many other Anglish words.
His name was/is NARMAUR.
This spelling better serves US tactically.
Decode all Anglish words containing M...R and be amazed.
All these people were being led by the same God, it just wasn’t known
