Mauritania: Where The Sahara Desert Meets Ocean
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- In human cultures in general, and perhaps particularly in Africa, the landscape is the first shrine of tradition. From the sand dunes of Mauritania to the currents of River Senegal, to the Lions of the Beninese savannah to the spirits of the forests of Gabon, this series explores the origin, the nature and the survival of deep links between several populations in West Africa and their habitat.
Each episode takes us to discover an emblematic landscape: the river (Senegal), the desert (Mauritania), the forest (Gabon) and the savannah (Benin). A compass of escape and meeting which rests on two main pillars: the spectacular character of the places, often classified with the UNESCO world heritage, and the charisma of the main characters who are transmitters of their respective traditions.

This is incredibly powerful film. I feel I've been given a deeply intimate understanding of that post of the world. Thank you.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it! 🌍✨
Your safe place will be gone if the people running the country stay in power.
The Richat Structure in Mauritania is amazing.
I live in a nice home in a safe neighborhood with everything I could ever want and watching these third world documentaries has helped me gain perspective on just how fortunate my life is . I drive my new car to my local Walmart and choose whatever I want to feed my family daily and these people are in a constant search for resources while always on guard. God bless their spirit.
America is truly the greatest nation in the entire known universe. Nothing compares, and yes I'm from a third world and make $2 a day. Americans need to be humbled and be more accepting of immigrants who have went through what they can't even imagine.

@@bakchodbabajijoletajaancho2538 what makes you think all Americans don't accept immigrants? That's not true! As for my country our military died for us to have the freedom and to be able to live like we do.

So they killed the natives to live in freedom? @@Kymcook73
I love documentaries. I love to learn about different people and their traditions and history. I would take a documentary over a action movie anytime
Same here

I love how someone just arrives in town, asks to learn and trade, and they take him in immediately. What a beautiful culture they live in
@@skkedys1t36 You are probably right, but no need to be cynical about it.
thats how we Africans are... its our strength and also our weakness. thats how colonization enter our homeland like a bad flu that was hard to shake off. Long Live Afrique... Ps just breathtaking doc...
Yes... Someone told me he was a guest in a beduin's tent in the desert in Mauritania. There was a storm in the night and when he woke up, the host was standing holding the tent stay so it doesn't collapse on his guest. He had been holding it all night. So not everybody is for sale. Respect good virtues where you see them instead of being cynical.
yes unless you are female of course
@@BintalMuminun without the colonization you wouldn't be able to write this comment, I hope you realize that. Also, Africa would not have roads, cars, trains, industry, schools, hospitals, etc, etc. Things in life are rarely purely bad or good. There is another side to everything.
The smile when that guy gets to steer the boat is pretty heartwarming.
He really warned my heart in general. One can tell what a good kind and honest man he is, determined to better his life by learning a trade. I wish him all the best and if I'm ever fortunate enough to visit Mauritania some day, I hope I encounter people like him.

Real people with a real soul
These are my people... much love from Jamaica

Much love to all Jamaicans
UNESCO must help to preserve this unique library. A rare heritage site
The Date Palm tree was brought back from 1000 year old seeds. Maybe more.
Fela Kuti once asked who is united inside United Nations? Useless organisation that one.
One might think it's hard life these people living on the desert,but to the people, it's like paradise.
And it is......
It's called content
And These r poorest of poor
@@daku7689 poor in what? Certainly not in spirit. They're living s beautiful "simplistic, carefree " lifestyle. They're not "seduced" lol, by so called mordern day lifestyles of gaining wealth, luxury, city living and all the spiritual corruption and stress that come with it. Really who is the poorest???
Living in the ultimate freedom under the desert sky.
Easy to say that when they don't know any better.
I don’t know who the translation narrator is but he is used in many of the documentaries that TRACKS uses and he’s amazing. His voice is so expressive of emotion yet it always carries a friendliness and humor within it as well. He’s excellent and perfectly utilized.
If only his pronunciation were closer to the original.
Jj
Its fun hearing his voice again😅
I agree with your opinion, compliment. He sounds like he is engaging himself.😊
Oops. My opinion which agrees with you is down below.🥴
I love this series on Africa! Please show more of these!
One thing about most Africans is that We do have a receptive heart ❤️🥺... The craddle of mankind indeed..Its like 60yrs apart ..Beautiful documentary 🥳🥳 LOTS OF LOVE FROM KE 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
The Garden of Eden is said to be in the upper right side. We are all african decendants according to the Bible.
This seems so therapeutic...if troubled youth could go live on a farm or visit other countries and learn some survival skills with mentoring, then they might come home with a better mindset and gratefulness...
I agree. I would send my son's to that fishing village at 15.
I think the best part about this country is the pollution free air, virtually no plastics, with the peaceful and simple living. Gonna visit this majestic land soon In Sha Allah.
still the climate change is taking its toll on them @44:40
And slaves.
Welcome any time
You’re welcome my friend
Welcome .
The guy just shows up in the village and vo'ila hes immediately accepted...what a fascinating way of life..
The cradle of humankind is probably the most hospitable place on earth.
These men are so warm and humble, I loved seeing his teacher take him under his wing.
Exactly

An example of unselfish man willing to help those interested to learn and survive in this competitive 🌎
Man I could never survive their way of life.They are great people and their landscape is beautiful. Sending blessings from 🇯🇲.
Most of this guys are slaves they work for nothing... watch about the slavery in Mauritania... they having slaves still today...🤔🤔🤔
Jameica??
Ok Jamaican
I am East African too and this is fascinating. I would miss the green grasslands
We weren't born and grow in that traditional way of life. As a jamaican myself I am wondering what really is our tradition because it seems a mixture of everyone else and then some . May the God of heaven bless jamaica 🇯🇲 our island home
I was born and raised in Mauritania. and this documentary took me down memory lane . Absolutely amazing . Thank you for this great work and the narration .
Wow, I've always wanted to travel to Africa especially to Ethiopia, and Madagascar because of elementary, and high school friends that I learned a lot from to include their parents. Adding your beeautiful place to my list 🌌
I love “inshallah.” I picked it up in Turkey. It’s a nice way to remind ourselves that only so much is under our control. ❤

Shout out Mauritanian 😊❤🎉. amazing historian,education and librarian may allah reward for him jannah
The voice over and translation of their ancient language is truly pity full. I see a humble people who remember to thank God for whatever favors they have even though it is less than others.
Take the chip off your shoulder you unhappy thing..
Awesome video , thanks for it . I learned something new about this west African country . Mauritania 🙏🏻🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼 . Greetings from Minneapolis MINNESOTA 👍🏾❤️
Excellent documentary. The oral tradition, (memorizing poems, and later Quran) and the library tradition are amazing, now i understand how the information from the past have been acquired and preserved.
36:17 The tears of a proud father!!!!!! God! it made my eyes moist.
Very touching.

Allah bless them and their country
blessed?..... really?
@@nagawahyudi blessed with Islam
So proud that this is my heritage.
I hope all these young men are able to continue their traditions well into the future.
💯 I wish Africans would return to their culture, religion and modern-day life has minimized African culture
The way you narrate your documentaries about different African societies is nice,I can see your respect to the people 🙌🏾
I am proud to be from Mauritania. God bless

Mauritania is a beautiful place indeed. They thankful for simple stuff.
Hi
This is just the African resilience and dual manoeuvre to make ends meet while taking risks and also keeping the culture alive .
Ohhhh those books!!!! The knowledge hidden away. Some organization should record them electronically and store them. The books too should be stored properly for the future. Those books have knowledge beyond our understanding.
Exactly.
Alhamdulillah brave brothers
And sisters love from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I'm glad to see that Mauritanians have kept a valuable collection of libraries in the Muslim world. These books are rare treasures that cannot be found elsewhere.
Allaah bless Mauritania , love from Somalia 😁
This is gotta be the best 👌 documentary I've ever seen by far.
Yes I gained knowledge 👍
Both very educational and fun too
I can't help smiling while watching 😄
How joyful to watch these documentaries. its interesting that far from individualism, nomadic people still enjoys companies of each other.
If you want to be happy all your life stay where you are born. “East and west home is the best”
Agree with you.
So true
Dictatorship at home forces people to leave their countries.
Documentaries is so educational. Learned so much about different types of people and their cultures. I have learned about restoring the land as well. I encourage everyone to watch more Documentaries and its Benefits. Thumbs up 👍
Great documentary. Greetings from Papua new Guinea
Greetings from Nigeria and Freedom to Indonesian papua

Really ? How and where did you meet here ?
@Adam Lion Well we came to know about each other through online dating.. so after a while I went to visit her for 2 to 3 months each time in africa (The Gambia) at the time because that's where she moved to from Mauritania. Now her and my son moved back to Mauritania recently,but I have never visited that country. Will be visiting the country for the first time later on this year around October-December
A beautiful landscape &an even better documentary,the books in the library are absolutely baffling and priceless Islamic history lesson 💎
The poetry was absolutely beautiful
That authentic library is absolutely uniqe amazing.
It is not only informative but visually stunning. Thank you for the gift!
watching here, from the Philippines.
The imagery at 17:48 is Oscar worthy! wow The camels shadows makes it look like shadow theatre
this documentary is stunning
I had visited Mauritania in 2021. It was a good pleasent experience.
The rope game which shown in this video is the same traditional game we have in kerala India. ❤️
What a great documentary. I could watch it over and over again. Thankful.
Awesome documentary about sahara indigenous people who survive in a very harsh desert and never give to abandon thier way of life up and preserve thier ancestors legacy
Excellent chronicle. I thoroughly enjoyed it. From a 71 yr old recluse in a Hawaiian forest.
What a fantastic documentary. The beauty of this land and its people.
Mauritania that tracks and it's talented team have brought an exemplary documentary that was so beautiful.
Seeing the people and the simplicity of their living with their camels, goats and sheep's their simple way of dining. The love for wisdom by these people in preserving their manuscript's and libraries. Thanks Tracks and your team for an enjoyable entertaining documentary.
While watching this video I came to realise that how lucky I m for born in my state Manipur (part of India)...life is not so easy to live for many peoples who live around the world...And good to see this kind of video I appreciated the Channel for Uploading...May god give more strength to the crew to able to make more fascinating video in the future💙💙💙
Manipur is gud??

The guy who climbed a palm trees is a slave why not one of them. Stop enslaving blacks pls
Watching this is like Going back to biblical times. Beautiful!
Funny that the script added a plug for desertification due to man caused climate change. Apparently the script writer is not aware that "For several hundred thousand years, the Sahara has alternated between desert and savanna grassland in a 20,000-year cycle[8] caused by the precession of Earth's axis as it rotates around the Sun, which changes the location of the North African monsoon." See many supporting citations in the topic "Sahara" in Wikipedia.
Wow, seeing these moors control their water ways is amazing
that library was fascinating
Very interesting documentary. Thank You for the upload. Beautiful Mauritania. Beautiful Mother Africa.
Beautifully made documentary. This style is very different from any other I've seen. I loved the main narrator as well as the translators. At around 23:00 mark, the argument between the two women made me smile. Everything about this is wholesome.
Love document i love to learn about different people andd their trading tradition and history
Great nations, Great and amazing people of Africa.
When you watch other places that you aren't familiar with especially this kind of place, you feel depressed and lose hope but if you know for yourself the place you are living and come to realize and accept it, you will learn to love it.

Very beautiful documentary from Mauritania, lots of love from Kenya
I’m from South African and very intrigued by these documentaries which I never got to learn about while in school. I feel deprived of this knowledge

"The counrty of 4 million poets" those nomads are the purest of souls on our earth. Bless them with all the sun's energy and the surrounding areas of there journey lay safe.. see how the lady is a medium/fortune teller, she is able to do this for they don't drink tap water, eat gmo food from grocery stores. They don't have 5g networks surrounding there aurora of life. They're living the most ancient ways of life.. im actually jealous of that, I live in Vancouver Canada, and I'm jealous of nomads living in Africa that have absolutely nothing but their beautiful soul. And there power of the human mind is more stronger than Elon musks
Everything you wrote here is pure lust and imagination, “tap water” where did you get that from it is like me saying “ I can ride unicorn cuz I don’t drink tap water” get out of your bubble and start see why you got a life and soul.

Many thanks for the very educative documentary. It is very heartwarming to see how everyone is willing to hold on spiritually and culturally to the traditions. Shalom
Parabéns pelo vídeo e saudações do Professor Franquêta de Sergipe no Brasil
❤ people are living differents life style and tradition I like this
Even as a Mauritanian watching this felt very nostalgic and heartwarming to see how and where my ancestors lived, and how I would be in term of interest and goals if my ancestors never left the deserts to the city
And the IMRAGN people are one of friendliest people I have ever met, they are the native Mauritanian according to historians they lived in the sahara before desertification and the dunes pushed them to the ocean
I love Mauritania i wish we have better economy in the next years cause things are getting harder here and I don’t wanna migrate
