The history of Africa dated back before the slave trade era. We urge our African brothers and sisters in America and Europe to come back home and we reestablish our ancient glory. This documentaries make me cries with joy when i watch them.thank you Zeinab
@@waymilky442 and the slaves in America were all originated from west africa. east africa, specifically Horn of Africa, had nothing to do with slavery.
Thank you for the documentary Zeinab Badawi , BUT your history is distorted by the Amhara kings (and their follower’s) fake stories. Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of Tigrayan people of Tigray region (Northern Ethiopia) and our same ethnic brothers of southern Eritrea ( www.britannica.com/topic/Tigray-central-Eritrean-people ). At the time of Aksum, we spoke the Ge’ez language which is the direct ancestor of Tigrigna language (and the direct ancestor of the Tigre language of northern Eritrea also). Amharic is a very recent language when compared to Tigrigna & Tigre (which are much older once). Amharic is not so similar to Ge'ez & not a direct decedent of the Ge’ez language (like Tigrigna & Tigre). Though, new Amhara kings some 350 years after the fall of Kingdom of Aksum claimed they had blood descent from kings of Aksum (it is obviously a fake story made-up to glorify themselves); it was unscientific (these Amhara kings don't even have any relatives in Axum, since they were southern Ethiopia people like Haile-Selassie of Harare for example, and the others from Shewa). Is summary, Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of the current Tigrayan people (Agazians) who are now divided between Tigray region of Ethiopia and the southerner highlands of Eritrea. Our capital was the city of Axum (in Tigray region) and our trade sea-port used to be Adulis (current Eritrean red-sea port territory). But Amhara kings have been massacring Tigrayans for centuries in-order to pretend to be the direct decedents of Aksumites (and the founders of Ethiopia). For example king Haile-Selassie killed over 100,000 Tigryans by refusing to send emergency food aid to Tigray province even though he had the money during the 1958 famine of Tigray;(it was around 20 perćent of the Tigryans' population at the time who died of this systematic famine). Later on, the Amhrar president Mengistu Haile-Mariam also used the 1985 famine to kill 1.2 million people (mostly in Tigray province). All these murders was to steal Tigryans' history about Aksumit Kingdom. References of the famines can be found on the reference list of the Wiki page:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famines_in_Ethiopia
@@orionejigu2580 according to language studies, Amhara people (and their Amharic language) is a mix with Oromo. Even though Amhara people call Oromos as GALA, they are themselves are one. You can see this from the grammar of the Amharic language, which is clearly taken from the Oromo language.
@@orionejigu2580 ... everyone know that "Amharic is a language that has been strongly influenced by the Cushitic languages, especially Oromo and the Agaw languages". Read or ask any language professor !!!
The painful side of African history is that most written documents have been intentionally destroyed or is lost ,sold so you don't really get the whole picture..
most ancient books of orig. text were destroyed a long long time ago. I never heard of the myth that there was no writing in Africa. but oral history surely seems more prevalent.
The video is about the ancient kingdom of Aksum in present day Ethiopia. Forgive me, but I am unaware of any specific destruction of Aksum historical documents. It is an underresearched piece of ancient history in need of a fair amount of archeology. So, what are you referring to exactly?
@@garyheiden3120 Of course there are written languages in Africa, but the vast majority of languages in African history are oral. Exceptions include, obviously, Arabic, Ethiopian, Egyptian and Nubian. Writing systems for other the vast number of other languages arrived with European contact and since.

Our Cushitic brothers we intermixed with are the Agaw/Qimant people who created the Lalibela churches & civilization during their Zagwe dynasty.

Very ancient history in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. I've visited the country many times since 2006. My wife is Ethiopia and Eritrean. African Americans should travel and see this beautiful culture. It will make you proud to be African.
Both countries named after Greek language. People need to know the history Afar, Saho, Beja. The people of norther of Ethiopia particularly the Amhara are descendants of Beja. Their territory is named after Beja-medir (begedmidr)

@Asaminew Tsige Eritrea was colonized after the fall of Axum kingdom . The great Empire Axum was in present day Eritrea. It wasnt created by italy .We were invaded and colonized by them .

Dear Mrs. Zeinab Badawi .... you will definitely remembered in the history of humanity. You have done a nobel documentary that doesn't only offer a contribution to the evolution of humanity, but furthermore, offers a critical evidence that many generations have vanished due to greed for money that escalated to wars and extinction in many forms. This is a starting point to alarm the current generation about the future of humanity. When does that day come when educational institutions, and the world media show the benefits of peaceful coexistence. The humanity is quite thankful to you Mrs.Zeinab..

Eritrea and Eritreans are not children whom you Amharas think you can discard and take back whenever you want. Wake up and smell the coffee and stop claiming Eritrea. If that's the case it's time for Eritreans to claim Gonder and take it back. Amharas are beyond pathetic.

People have historically tried to separate Ethiopia from the rest of the continent of Africa by claiming that they are imported people from the Middle East in order to separate the sophistication of ancient civilizations. This is not the case.

The truth is that the african they put naked is probably what king Solomon looked like don't trust them they showed nothing ethiopian not ower food not culture not ower strip not even achint buildings we have a hole casel intact they just show achint remens. Its sad 😥 how times changed.
Great story from the great place Aksum, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Thank Zeinab Badawi for your effort to introduce our History to the world. Your historic interview with the former great leader, Ethiopian PM. Meles Zenawi is also in our heart.

To all that Zeinab Badawi has reported on different episodes of History of Africa, I really appreciate all the journeys she has taken to provide astonishing visibility to our bizarre history as a continent, country or nation level. I am not in position to criticize or raise vivid evidence that, the report has no totality and depth but I feel aches deep in my heart that she didn't make all inclusive reporting. With all my aches buried deep in my souls I want to put it as follows borrowing an African saying: " The narrative will always glorify the hunter until the lion itself learns to Write." Komla Dumor (The late BBC Reporter)

Thank you for your dedication in bringing to light the richness of pre-Western history and civilization of East Africa. However, it is disheartening to witness some groups of self-proclaimed "Oromo elites" destroying, demolishing, and looting historical relics, only to replace them with their own inaccurate and baseless interpretations.
I'm from Ethiopia and grew up with the stories presented in this doco. What kept me glued on the screen throughout the program is Zeina's (the presenter) sense of humour and her take on the unique culture of the region. Zeina immersed herself in the cultural, eating the food with locals, attending church ceremonies with priests and asking the important questions along the way. As someone who has watched and listened to BBC for years, I knew Zeina Bedawi as BBC anchor presenting news in the studio and programs like 'the interview' now known as 'hard talk'. In this documentary as a presenter, Zeina showed another angle of her journalism which is as great as the ones we have known her for. I have noticed an element of her hardtalk in some of the questions she asked 😂. I loved the jokes she cracked as well 😅😅. Thank you Zeina Bedawi!!!
The Kushite rule began in Nubia after the collapse of the Bronze Age. Kush was stationed in Napata (now Karima, Sudan) during its first phase. The Kingdom of Cush became strong culturally, economically, politically and militarily. After the control of Kashta (“the Kush”) extended to Upper Egypt in the eighth century BC and his successors were able to control Lower Egypt after that, the kings of Kush also became pharaohs of the twenty-fifth family in Egypt for about a century, until they were defeated by the modern Assyrian Empire under the rule of Ashurbanipal, the first pharaoh of Egypt, I smiled them out. During the classical antiquity, the Kushite capital was located in Meroe. In early Greek geography, the Meroitic kingdom was known as Ethiopia. The Kingdom of Kush and its capital, Meroe, continued until the fourth century AD, then weakened and disintegrated due to internal problems and the destruction of the capital by the Kingdom of Axum. Thereafter, the Nubians established three Christian kingdoms, namely Nubatia, Maqra and Alwa.
Who are present member tribes of the cush ?. And are Nubians parts of them ? And which current cushitic language is the heliograph on the Egyptian pyramids closely fit in its translation?.
north pole south pole , Good catch, thank you South/North. You know what, those people like you are always digging for something negative. I can assure you that such a minor mistake doesn’t really tell you who I am. Saying this, I really don’t understand your point associating me with TPLF after reading my comment. Actually, you can tell them to go to hell , if you have access and time, I hate them like so many other Ethiopians. What I was trying to say was the history of Ethiopia is so rich and maybe it’s a bit difficult to present in a short documentary, that’s all. Don’t rush for negative comment before understanding the point, if something isn’t clear, pause a question for a clarification, I hope that is what we call it a civilized communication.
I really enjoyed watching the documentary and learning about great Africa 🌍 its full time we take control off our Destiny and Africa 🌍... Thank you zeinab badawai and the BBC team I learned some much from watching this documentary ❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯

You said it right Zeinab! I'm glad you clarified on your introduction that the history of Axum is the history of people of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Many Ethiopians (Tigrayans aside) think and believe that the history of Axum civilization belongs to the current Ethiopia. In fact, Axum civilization didn't extend beyond the City of Axum to the south Ethiopia. Axum Civilization was mainly concentrated from Tigray (Current northern Ethiopia) to the Red Sea; Adulis (ancient port city found in current Eritrea) as its main port city.
@Nati Natan i really dont Understand why you Bring Amharic and Amhara in this Nobody have talked about that its Same as Someone bring's Oromo and Oromo Language or gambela or other africans ... Sry but i dont Understand that
@Nati Natan you missed the point. We are not talking about the name of the modern day countries. We are talking about the people who own the Axumite Civilization. And the owners are the people who resides in modern day Eritrea and Tigray. Those are the people who are the descendants of Axumite Kingdom. Their language (Tigre and Tigrigna) is the closest to the Geez language spoken during the Axumite Civilization. Amharic is the third closest language to Geez. Historians and Experts on Geez will tell you exactly this.
@@bereketgde20 *I agree except on one Point you are right Tigre Tigrinya are the closest Languages to Geez but i guess that Dahlik is closer to Geez than Amharic is to Geez too . Amharic has adopted many words of Geez Language but the Linguistic is more cushtic and closer to argobba and other Languages ...*
40:30 Ok, but weren't the Jews in 0AD Nazareth or Bethlehem Middle Eastern, not white Europeans? A lot of modern day Israelites are white just because they are European Jews who migrated from Europe to Israel in the 20th century. But that's not the same race of Israelites from 2000 years ago.
The Kushites are presently found in Ghana. I am a Kushite by ancestry as found in the Ghanaian Twi version of the Bible. Zephaniah Chapter 1 mentions the son of Cushi, which translated is Kusi in the Twi language. A lot of people are called Kusi, myself included. The first king of the Ga tribe was called Nii Ayi Kushi, and my cousin from the Ewe tribe is called Kusitor. All these tribes celebrate yearly festivals claiming Ethiopian ancestry. This is interesting history.
@@koussi76 I made reference to Zephaniah Chapter 1 verse one. Google the Twi Bible and read. You will find out. You should be open to learning your history. I am Ghanaian and bear this name. That's how I found out my history. Seek and you will find.
@@koussi76 If you download the Twi Bible you will see my name Kusi Zephaniah Chapter 1. If you refer to the English Bible it says Cushi which means Cushite. Hogbetsotso festival in the Volta region is one celebration. I also wrote about this many years ago "Our brothers have arrived ". If you refer to the video there was a King who was buried with people, similar to what the Chiefs do in Ghana.

The ancient kingdom of Axum is solely Eritrean . It started in the modern town of Zula in the Red Sea of coastline . The main reason the Axumite became powerful is because of Red Sea port of Adulis. By the way , Adulis was described in the 1 st century periplus of the Erythrean Sea. The power of Axum was largely based on trade. The Red Sea was an important thoroughfare for trading at the time . Axumite present day Eritrea exported local products such as ivory , tortoise shell, hippotamus hide, spices, incense, gold ,obsidian, emeralds and other precious stones . Those items were exchanged for manufactured goods from Mediterranen, including iron weapons, articles glas, wine etc . The Egyptian royals which used to call present day Eritrea the land of Punt came to buy those luxury goods . The Axumite was also trading with Greeks and Romans . The Axumite expanded their power and controlled Northern Ethiopia ( tigray), Sudan, Yemen and Saudi-Arabia . The city of Axum which is present day in northern Ethiopia (tigray ) was the orignal city of the Axum kingdom . The city or town was created during Axum expansion but the Ethiopian , specially the Tigrayan want to reverse the history . Those idiots have no shame in their blood and love to brag by the history which don t belongs to them .

Axumit Dynasty includes Yemen from north, Nubia(Sudan) from north east, Eritrea from east and Amhara from south. The capital city of the dynasty had been Axum, where the obelisks are erected at the center of town. But, the presence of the obelisks and its capital Axum in Tigray does not mean the whole gamut of the history belongs only to Tigray. The history of Axum dynasty also includes Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Tigray and Amhara. So that, the history of Axum Dynasity is the collective history of these areas. It is hard to say that this history of ancient time Axum is exclusively that of Tigray. It is shared by those areas mentioned above.

I did like this video until the priest failed by saying Jesus and the Mother are whites, then said because they are Jews , please whites are not Jews they are Europeans, like the way Zainab handle it
ford hanson you know Ethiopians don’t like to say they themselves are blacks. He is telling us that Jesus was a blue eye European. I don’t know if he is aware that the ancient Hebrews and Jesus Spend most of their life in Ancient Black Egypt and even the brothers of Joseph couldn’t differentiate Joseph from an Egyptian. In many chapters in the Bible the Romans always mistook the Ancient Hebrews for an Ethiopian/Egyptian. So I don’t know if that priest has read his Bible or maybe he doesn’t want to offend the Modern European Jewry.

My favorite BBC reporter, zeyneb, you are beautiful and thank you for the education. I should have been educated this in elementary school but we were busy learning about haileslasie's monarchy. What a waste of time that was specifically when you come from just less than 200km from Axum.
Brilliant work, Ms. Badawi. African History told by Africans. The pre-Aksumite Red Sea coast region is still very much untouched. The most important gap in these documentaries is the lack of the voices of many indigenous minorities like the Sahos and Afars, many others. The picture will remain blurred until we include their voices.
We know that the nations of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Sudan are members of the same Nile Valley families. So what would it take for these families to reunite as one nation? To remain apart is to remain a colony of Europe. Afrika Unite!
I thought that what made queen Hatshepsut's expedition to the Land of Punt such a big deal was incense - so very critical to so many aspects of Egyptian ceremonial life. And the success of that expedition was, in contemporary terms, quite a PR coup. For ages our historians were puzzled over where the heck Punt even was.

Thank you for the documentary Zeinab Badawi , BUT your history is
distorted by the Amhara kings (and their follower’s) fake stories.
Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of Tigrayan people of Tigray region
(Northern Ethiopia) and our same ethnic brothers of southern Eritrea (
www.britannica.com/topic/Tigray-central-Eritrean-people ). At
the time of Aksum, we spoke the Ge’ez language which is the direct
ancestor of Tigrigna language (and the direct ancestor of the Tigre
language of northern Eritrea also). Amharic is a very recent language
when compared to Tigrigna & Tigre (which are much older once).
Amharic is not so similar to Ge'ez & not a direct decedent of the
Ge’ez language (like Tigrigna & Tigre). Though, new Amhara kings
some 350 years after the fall of Kingdom of Aksum claimed they had blood
descent from kings of Aksum (it is obviously a fake story made-up to
glorify themselves); it was unscientific (these Amhara kings don't even
have any relatives in Axum, since they were southern Ethiopia people
like Haile-Selassie of Harare for example, and the others from Shewa).
Is summary, Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of the current Tigrayan
people (Agazians) who are now divided between Tigray region of Ethiopia
and the southerner highlands of Eritrea. Our capital was the city of
Axum (in Tigray region) and our trade sea-port used to be Adulis
(current Eritrean red-sea port territory). But Amhara kings have been
massacring Tigrayans for centuries in-order to pretend to be the direct
decedents of Aksumites (and the founders of Ethiopia). For example king
Haile-Selassie killed over 100,000 Tigryans by refusing to send
emergency food aid to Tigray province even though he had the money
during the 1958 famine of Tigray;(it was around 20 perćent of the
Tigryans' population at the time who died of this systematic famine).
Later on, the Amhrar president Mengistu Haile-Mariam also used the 1985
famine to kill 1.2 million people (mostly in Tigray province). All these
murders was to steal Tigryans' history about Aksumit Kingdom.

Thank you Zainab for introducing our countries to the world.
Her history is sadly distorted by the Amhara kings (and their follower’s) fake stories.
Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of Tigrayan people of Tigray region
(Northern Ethiopia) and our same ethnic brothers of southern Eritrea (
www.britannica.com/topic/Tigray-central-Eritrean-people ). At
the time of Aksum, we spoke the Ge’ez language which is the direct
ancestor of Tigrigna language (and the direct ancestor of the Tigre
language of northern Eritrea also). Amharic is a very recent language
when compared to Tigrigna & Tigre (which are much older once).
Amharic is not so similar to Ge'ez & not a direct decedent of the
Ge’ez language (like Tigrigna & Tigre). Ge'ez, Tigrigna & Tigre are what are known as
North Ethiopic languages (
www.jstor.org/stable/409990?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents ).
Though, new Amhara kings
some 350 years after the fall of Kingdom of Aksum claimed they had blood
descent from kings of Aksum (it is obviously a fake story made-up to
glorify themselves); it was unscientific (these Amhara kings don't even
have any relatives in Axum, since they were southern Ethiopia people
like Haile-Selassie of Harare for example, and the others like king
Yekuno-Amlak & the "so called Minilik II"" were from Shewa).
Is summary, Kingdom of Aksum was a civilization of the current Tigrayan
people (Agazians) who are now divided between Tigray region of Ethiopia
and the southerner highlands of Eritrea. Our capital was the city of
Axum (in Tigray region) where city of Axum is one of the few cities in
the world that as been contentiously inhabited for the last 2000 years;
And our trade sea-port used to be Adulis
(current Eritrean red-sea port territory). But Amhara kings have been
massacring Tigrayans for centuries in-order to pretend to be the direct
decedents of Aksumites (and the founders of Ethiopia). For example king
Haile-Selassie killed over 100,000 Tigryans by refusing to send
emergency food aid to Tigray province even though he had the money
during the 1958 famine of Tigray;(it was around 20 perćent of the
Tigryans' population at the time who died of this systematic famine).
Later on, the Amhrar president Mengistu Haile-Mariam also used the 1985
famine to kill 1.2 million people (mostly in Tigray province). All these
murders were mainly to weaken & eliminate Tigryans and then
completely steal their history about Aksumit Kingdom.
References of the famines can be found on the reference list of the Wiki
page:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famines_in_Ethiopia
The scientific encyclopedia (
www.britannica.com/topic/Tigray-central-Eritrean-people ) says:- "The
Tigray are descendants of a Semitic people who intermixed with the
Cushitic inhabitants of the region and founded the Christian kingdom of
Aksum, which had its capital in the historic region of Tigray." Our
Cushitic brothers we intermixed with are the Agaw/Qimant people who
created the Lalibela churches & civilization during their Zagwe
dynasty. And again, you Amhara extremists now genocide Qimant people
since you want to falsely claim their Lalibela history as your own. Many
thieves want to steal gold & such, but Amhara extremists want steal
others' history, very ugly!

As the great historian Ivan Van Sertima once said: “Africa is a shattered Star”.
It is the task of this generation of Africans - on the Continent and in the Diaspora - to pick up the pieces, and play their part in putting this great Star back together again, so that it will shine brilliantly once more ... in the centuries to come.

Dear Mrs. Zeinab Badawi .... you will definitely remembered in the history of humanity. You have done a nobel documentary that doesn't only offer a contribution to the evolution of humanity, but furthermore, offers a critical evidence that many generations have vanished due to greed for money that escalated to wars and extinction in many forms. This is a starting point to alarm the current generation about the future of humanity. When does that day come when educational institutions, and the world media show the benefits of peaceful coexistence. The humanity is quite thankful to you Mrs.Zeinab..
Proud to be Eritrean 🇪🇷 and African.

Eritrea is for Eritreans, there is nothing to take back. Even the majority of Eritreans don't speak Amharic like Ethiopians. Eritreans have nothing in common with the majority Amharic and Oromifa speakers of Ethiopia. Eritrea and Eritreans are not children whom you Amharas think you can discard and take back whenever you want. Wake up and smell the coffee and stop claiming Eritrea. If that's the case it's time for Eritreans to claim Gonder and take it back. Amharas are beyond pathetic.

Fascinating documentary! Very intrigued by the history of the Queen of Sheba and the King of Solomon and the Ark of the Covenant.
Completely enjoyed this series! Love learning about Africa rich kingdoms!
Beautiful civilisation of Axum. very sacred. This is an appeal from the heart of a black person in the diaspora. This is a very important point that should be noted: The Ethiopian authorities should insure that any items extracted are not stolen, which is then ended up in a museum (s) in Europe as was the case historically. To all my brothers & sisters of the cradle of civilisation GOD BLESS YOU AND AFRICA
Many thanks for the fantastic journalist, Zeinab Badawu for her awesome presentation of the African history in general and the Ethiopian + Eritrean history in particular with great emphasis on the Axumite Civilization to the world.
Learning about African History is always fascinating, this was good!
Fun fact: There's a Brand called Axum in America, they make beautiful luxury watches.
I don't get why people still wear watches tbh
god has no brand ,this is bad making money in gods name ,thats why america will burn ,
@Moor Wakanda I don't refuse to leave. I'm a man on a mission, just like any other African in America. A few years from now, I'll be in Dakar; Abidjan; Lagos or Nairobi.

Great story from the great place Aksum, Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. Thank Zeinab Badawi for your effort to introduce our History to the world. Your historic interview with the former great leader, Ethiopian PM. Meles Zenawi is also in our heart.
Just for your info., Meles was a trash leader! Weregna!

Besides, why the fuck is a 'Persian Lion' talking about Ethiopia. If you are weyane disguised as a Persian, fuck you, and if you are a Persian deceived by the deceitful politics of TPLF, I respectfully say ' FUCK YOU BITCH!'

To all that Zeinab Badawi has reported on different episodes of History of Africa, I really appreciate all the journeys she has taken to provide astonishing visibility to our bizarre history as a continent, country or nation level.

Thank you for your dedication in bringing to light the richness of pre-Western history and civilization of East Africa. However, it is disheartening to witness some groups of self-proclaimed "Oromo elites" destroying, demolishing, and looting historical relics, only to replace them with their own inaccurate and baseless interpretations.
I'm from Ethiopia and grew up with the stories presented in this doco. What kept me glued on the screen throughout the program is Zeina's (the presenter) sense of humour and her take on the unique culture of the region. Zeina immersed herself in the cultural, eating the food with locals, attending church ceremonies with priests and asking the important questions along the way. As someone who has watched and listened to BBC for years, I knew Zeina Bedawi as BBC anchor presenting news in the studio and programs like 'the interview' now known as 'hard talk'. In this documentary as a presenter, Zeina showed another angle of her journalism which is as great as the ones we have known her for. I have noticed an element of her hardtalk in some of the questions she asked 😂. I loved the jokes she cracked as well 😅😅. Thank you Zeina Bedawi!!!
My Ethiopia will be great again.
I pray to God to see that day before I die.
AMEN.
Ethiopia is dominated by christians.and muslims were always marginalised.we dont accept to live under christians no more.
The Kushite rule began in Nubia after the collapse of the Bronze Age. Kush was stationed in Napata (now Karima, Sudan) during its first phase. The Kingdom of Cush became strong culturally, economically, politically and militarily. After the control of Kashta (“the Kush”) extended to Upper Egypt in the eighth century BC and his successors were able to control Lower Egypt after that, the kings of Kush also became pharaohs of the twenty-fifth family in Egypt for about a century, until they were defeated by the modern Assyrian Empire under the rule of Ashurbanipal, the first pharaoh of Egypt, I smiled them out.
During the classical antiquity, the Kushite capital was located in Meroe. In early Greek geography, the Meroitic kingdom was known as Ethiopia. The Kingdom of Kush and its capital, Meroe, continued until the fourth century AD, then weakened and disintegrated due to internal problems and the destruction of the capital by the Kingdom of Axum. Thereafter, the Nubians established three Christian kingdoms, namely Nubatia, Maqra and Alwa.
Who are present member tribes of the cush ?. And are Nubians parts of them ? And which current cushitic language is the heliograph on the Egyptian pyramids closely fit in its translation?.

You said it right Zeinab! I'm glad you clarified on your introduction that the history of Axum is the history of people of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Many Ethiopians (Tigrayans aside) think and believe that the history of Axum civilization belongs to the current Ethiopia. In fact, Axum civilization didn't extend beyond the City of Axum to the south Ethiopia. Axum Civilization was mainly concentrated from Tigray (Current northern Ethiopia) to the Red Sea; Adulis (ancient port city found in current Eritrea) as its main port city.
Axum is the History of Eritrea and Tigray
@Nati Natan Nobody talks about amhara they arent from this History. We Talk about the ppl in Eritrea and Tigray Back Then the Name was Kingdom of Axum
@Nati Natan i really dont Understand why you Bring Amharic and Amhara in this Nobody have talked about that its Same as Someone bring's Oromo and Oromo Language or gambela or other africans ... Sry but i dont Understand that
@Nati Natan you missed the point. We are not talking about the name of the modern day countries. We are talking about the people who own the Axumite Civilization. And the owners are the people who resides in modern day Eritrea and Tigray. Those are the people who are the descendants of Axumite Kingdom. Their language (Tigre and Tigrigna) is the closest to the Geez language spoken during the Axumite Civilization. Amharic is the third closest language to Geez. Historians and Experts on Geez will tell you exactly this.
@@bereketgde20 *I agree except on one Point you are right Tigre Tigrinya are the closest Languages to Geez but i guess that Dahlik is closer to Geez than Amharic is to Geez too . Amharic has adopted many words of Geez Language but the Linguistic is more cushtic and closer to argobba and other Languages ...*
40:30 Ok, but weren't the Jews in 0AD Nazareth or Bethlehem Middle Eastern, not white Europeans? A lot of modern day Israelites are white just because they are European Jews who migrated from Europe to Israel in the 20th century. But that's not the same race of Israelites from 2000 years ago.

Thank you so much for telling an African story. We need more African stories being told by Africans.
I'm from tigrai. Thank you so much zeinab bedawi
so beautiful history and full of culture
There is still a lot of pieces missing in the history of axum
The ancient kingdom of Axum is solely Eritrean . It started in the modern town of Zula in the Red Sea of coastline . The main reason the Axumite became powerful is because of Red Sea port of Adulis. By the way , Adulis was described in the 1 st century periplus of the Erythrean Sea. The power of Axum was largely based on trade. The Red Sea was an important thoroughfare for trading at the time . Axumite present day Eritrea exported local products such as ivory , tortoise shell, hippotamus hide, spices, incense, gold ,obsidian, emeralds and other precious stones . Those items were exchanged for manufactured goods from Mediterranen, including iron weapons, articles glas, wine etc . The Egyptian royals which used to call present day Eritrea the land of Punt came to buy those luxury goods . The Axumite was also trading with Greeks and Romans .
The Axumite expanded their power and controlled Northern Ethiopia ( tigray), Sudan, Yemen and Saudi-Arabia . The city of Axum which is present day in northern Ethiopia (tigray ) was the orignal city of the Axum kingdom . The city or town was created during Axum expansion but the Ethiopian , specially the Tigrayan want to reverse the history . Those idiots have no shame in their blood and love to brag by the history which don t belongs to them .
@@user-qn2ee4yq4n When did Eritrea became Ethiopia?! and why was war between Ethiopia and Eritrea for 30 years during derg era and later with woyanne for 28 years?! You are still on dream..... wake up!!! ERITREA is an independent country.
@@fiayametagualasmera8143 during derg their was a rebellion... It got crushed... Then isayas and meles teamed up made a deal to split... The next conflict was because they disagreed on borders... Before isayas Eritrea have never been independent and it will not be for long too

@@fiayametagualasmera8143 chill and be civil... I know right for opinion and free speech does not exist in Eritrea but it does in the rest of the world... You can start by "educating" me on when Eritrea became Eritrea
Axumit Dynasty includes Yemen from north, Nubia(Sudan) from north east, Eritrea from east and Amhara from south. The capital city of the dynasty had been Axum, where the obelisks are erected at the center of town. But, the presence of the obelisks and its capital Axum in Tigray does not mean the whole gamut of the history belongs only to Tigray. The history of Axum dynasty also includes Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Tigray and Amhara. So that, the history of Axum Dynasity is the collective history of these areas. It is hard to say that this history of ancient time Axum is exclusively that of Tigray. It is shared by those areas mentioned above.
It belonged to semetic rulers in ethiopia ... Their decendents are all semetic speakers .. But mostly the tigray people
For sudan and yemen/arabia they just conquered them
All semetic ( habesha) not only Amhara
Thank you so much zeinub to make this amazing documentary's stating real and genuine history. I am proud of you.
I did like this video until the priest failed by saying Jesus and the Mother are whites, then said because they are Jews , please whites are not Jews they are Europeans, like the way Zainab handle it
what he said is clear and true, they are jew and they have Jewish complexion.
YA you are a fool
ford hanson you know Ethiopians don’t like to say they themselves are blacks. He is telling us that Jesus was a blue eye European. I don’t know if he is aware that the ancient Hebrews and Jesus Spend most of their life in Ancient Black Egypt and even the brothers of Joseph couldn’t differentiate Joseph from an Egyptian. In many chapters in the Bible the Romans always mistook the Ancient Hebrews for an Ethiopian/Egyptian. So I don’t know if that priest has read his Bible or maybe he doesn’t want to offend the Modern European Jewry.
@@TheObsidianOrderSector001 yes sir , when I was in school the middle East was part of Africa until the sues canal was created and due to oil power they then form so called Arab league long story, you know something Europeans never claim Jesus Christ is white, white supremacy and naiveness and ignorance of we Africans did allow this narrative to be sold, once upon a time I went to an Ethiopian gathering upon invitation and was shocked when the priest said to Ethiopians don't marry the black cannibals but stay with the Arabs I was shocked but my friend told me to ignore saying he is an old man of the past, please let's move forward he is an old man with no recollection, have I answered you, keep moving our new generation must change the narrative together we can do it Amen
ford hanson what can I say, you have said it all. Our job now is to move forward and push the sleeping Giant to wake up.🙏🖖🙏
My favorite BBC reporter, zeyneb, you are beautiful and thank you for the education. I should have been educated this in elementary school but we were busy learning about haileslasie's monarchy. What a waste of time that was specifically when you come from just less than 200km from Axum.
The comment section is where the true experts are!

Brilliant work, Ms. Badawi. African History told by Africans. The pre-Aksumite Red Sea coast region is still very much untouched. The most important gap in these documentaries is the lack of the voices of many indigenous minorities like the Sahos and Afars, many others. The picture will remain blurred until we include their voices.
We know that the nations of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Sudan are members of the same Nile Valley families. So what would it take for these families to reunite as one nation?
To remain apart is to remain a colony of Europe.
Afrika Unite!
“Afrika unite” how you no knowledge of the current politics of the Horn?
I thought that what made queen Hatshepsut's expedition to the Land of Punt such a big deal was incense - so very critical to so many aspects of Egyptian ceremonial life. And the success of that expedition was, in contemporary terms, quite a PR coup. For ages our historians were puzzled over where the heck Punt even was.
Punt land is in North Somalia in Africa
@@Som-Hanoolaato Yes, Africa for sure. No question about that. The problem they had was trying to be sure where it was in contemporary terms. Eritrea? Ethiopia? Or, as you say, the north of Somalia. Not a lot of maps survived from so long ago. Thank you!
@@BlueBaron3339 look up Puntland northern part of Somalia were most potent frankincense grows wild over there.
@@Warsame7 Thank you! Someone else recently pointed out that it had indeed been found, but your final detail makes it most convincing as that was indeed the big prize of that time 😉
@@Warsame7 look up the eritrean baboons its the same ones that were traded to ancient egyptians through punt and we have like more than 15k of them
Thank you Zainab for doing this historical work.. I have always watched your show on Hard Talked.. Now Africa👍 thanks for introducing Eritrea 🇪🇷 ❤
