Cinnamon Starr Europe did have writing systems let’s not be disingenuous, the Roman/Latin Script is European, The Norse Runic script is European etc...
Brother I am from Drcongo and I love what you do.I am glad I am finding so many Africans in America getting to know themselves historically and spiritually
Pictograms and Logograms originated in Africa. African pictograms have survived for thousands of years in the Kalahari and Sahara regions. Archeologists and historians call them "rock paintings."
wow dude, i'm a south African and i constantly have to deal with racist white people who try to call all African people stupid by saying we were as illiterate as animals, and that when colonizers invaded and killed us it was merely an act of culling the animal population, which is why they don't feel any remorse at their history of colonization and racism, they feel completely justified in the actions of their ancestors all because they believe the native people had the minds of animals, such videos are important because they are good learning centers for racist white people who cling to that colonial mindset...you have one new subscriber
It's been very hard until the past few years,to get any books on ancient Africa, I have no more than half a dozen. Just shows how much archaeological work has been done. How many more civilisations are out there. How many writing systems are there?
Thank you.. I didnt know about Akan. Just did a research on Akan Symbols.. found out that most of these symbols are in Movies, papers, and Facebook Emoji. WTF!! they rob Africa of her Gold and everything with no credit to her... Messed up!!
Connor Murphy Some of them are direct symbols for words, whilst others as you’ve pointed out represent proverbs. However, the proverbs themselves usually have a theme whether it’s courage, perseverance, patience etc... And so you can link a symbol meant for proverbs straight to direct words
The Akan symbols are not exclusively Akan. Some have been found in Kushitic tombs. See Tony Browder's work in conjunction with the University of Ghana. They also don't represent a script. They are very loaded, very abstract ideograms.
Why don't you use the term Mdu Ntr which is Kemetic, not Egyptian? If we're claiming our righteous place in history, it makes sense to not use European terms.
Tracy Sharp No you’re reaching 🤦🏿♂️ Different languages have different names for nations/ capitals. We call the capital of China Beijing when it’s Peaking. If you’re going to do an English video, it makes sense to use it’s English name, it’s not that deep
It's not only"even " It's assured historical facts that the Lou, Dinkas are an integral part of the great Nilo-Saharan civilization. The truth is revealing and the shine bursting all over the hook corner of this Black Land [ Kameta].
I'm glad I found your video. New subby by the way. I'm familiar with runes and another Celtic and Norse symbols but it's sad to say I knew nothing about the writing scripts of the continent where my ancestors were from. I can't wait to dig deeper!
Honestly thank you for doing what you do. We wont learn about ourselves unless we teach each other about our history. You and I both know that you wont learn this in the USA school system. I like to think of myself as well versed and well read when it comes to black/African history but I must say i myself have learned a lot from your vids.
I remember in History class we were taught that one of the reasons Europeans enslaved black people was because they didn't write. I'm really starting to question how much of history was true.
Dooky At least in the US, grade school education is garbage that barely teaches anything and if they do teach anything its the racist perspective of white people.
Thanks for this video Hometeam! I've been trying to study this topic. They try to say that all African writing systems resulted from dreams that occurred recently, I of course, do not buy it for a second!
To be clear, the first 3 writing systems mentioned are derived from the same groups of people formally known as the Nilotes (people-of-the-Nile / Nile Valley) who were the first to inhabit the Nile Valley. Nubians, Kushites, Kemetians, and other are not necessarily different in terms of ethnicity. This group of Africans travelled down the Nile River from East Africa to the Nile Valley. Thanks for sharing and including my people on the list!
Nicole ATCQFAN If some fractions of Egyptians left Egypt, moving southwards after the Sahara became a desert, then why don't we see many of examples of similar kingdoms such as Egypt itself down in sub-saharan Africa? Not trying to be pompous I'm just asking a serious question?
@@zigzag1able There are reminisces of ancient kingdoms from my understanding (such as structures) but colonization has destroyed this wonderful history and way of life.....
I just wanted to thank you for your work. Thanks to you far over 300k people know more about the african history. I'm born in Germany and here we don't even learn much about slavery.. and african history doesnt even exist.. At least not if it is older than 1950's. Pease keep on... you are realizing me and many others from the chains of unknowing.
0:38 is very interesting... In my language, Bambara (in Mali), our word for Egypt means "the land of cows". This makes me wonder if there may be a proto-Saharan origin of the word.
Archeologist that the Wolof in Senegal and other people groups of the Mali Empire ( such as Mande, Bambara, Fulanj, Mandinka etc) in Senegal have the closest language , culture and linen making style to Ancient Egyptian than other people group meaning that they migrated over the Sahara over 1000s of years..So the Bambara being if those groups in Mali are also are amongst those people groups..
All the things that they give us at school was lie.. I still remember that was the reason the first president of Guinea got resign from school because of the lie and the irespect they were driving on our ancestors... Long life Africa Peace..
Greeting HomeTeam History. I am curious on your view of the spread of the Latin alphabet within Africa, coupled with the displacement of many Sub-Saharan scripts. To my knowledge the only major Sub-Saharan script that remains is used is the Horn of Africa region, particularly Ethiopia with the Ge'ez script. I personally see a parallel between this phenomenon in Africa and the displacement of Northern European scripts by the Latin alphabet starting in the 11th to 12th centuries.
Woooooooowww this is amazing! I smiled the entire time! Thank you so much for sharing! I have learned so much from you, please continue to teach and elevate the people!
Nsibidi ( or what ever it's called) has gotta be the most interesting one out of all of them. That is one really cool way of writing, and very unconventional way of writing.Also glad you showed the berbers for their true color, as some Afrocentrist will try to depict them REALLY dark, or not tan at all. Berbers could be confused for Arabs, but they aren't. The only dark berbers that existed were the Moors.Anyway, would you do an episode that has relevancy to the Turks (my people) with the people of Burnu? That would be interesting as the Ottoman Empire is our proud and joy.
Oh and before I forget the Ottoman empire along with the Romans, Persians,greeks , Visigoths,and Huns also the English and few sell out black Africans is why Africa and the African people in the Diaspora is so screwed up today. If they would have just cut you northern invaders throats we all would be in a much better way. PS this is about Africa not the Ottoman invaders, and the original people of Africa was black not the imposters of north Africa and not the invaders who call themselves the original Berbers.
Berbers were Blacks according to Romans who generally called them Muur/Moro, which only meant Black the way Ethiops only meant Black under Hellenistic Greeks. Berbers were often confused with Arabs because Arabs were Blacks under the Umayyad caliphate. The Turks ended the Abbasid caliphate with a series of high profile assassinations that brought the full weight of Aryanization, violent fanaticism to Islam and the installation of Hashemite White rule. This history, including the timeline of the whitening of Arabs, is contained in an important book called "Kitāb al-Nizāʿ wa ’l-takhāṣum fīmā bayn Banī Umayya wa-Banī Hāshim", “The Book of Contention and Strife between the Banū Umayya and the Banū Hāshim. Yours is a legacy of unspeakable violence.

Thanks brothet for bring back our dignity through our history. Writing was here in Africa before colonization. It coulf have been developed had we not been confronted by European colonization. Yes we are without them and it's their imposition that makes it appear as if there is no us witjout them. Bring it on this is the history that l can be proud of as an African
Lots of good stuff here and in your other videos too. Some gaps though. Maybe I can help out on pronouncing African names: Piye is pronounced Pi-Ye not Pie. Nsibidi is ancient and pronounced insibidi. Nubia (Ta-Seti) while an early state, was not the first. It was preceded by Yam and Bompata, which were already in decline during the rise of Nubia. If you know tha names of African scholars working on revealing African scripts who we can follow, please pass their names along. Peace be upon you.
My homeboy, it's a joy to hear you read the early historical writing of our ancestors these you never learn in schools our people have given the world so much literature this stuff needs to be thought worldwide not just to black people but white people because they have been lied to as well the more you hear a lie the more you subconsciously believe it so keep up the good work hotep peace be with you.
Could you put up a link to the chart with Egyptian, Proto-Saharan, Phonician & Egyptian hieroglyphics? I'd love to examine it more closely. Thanks for considering!
I can say where I go to church we still use the geez language. I was also told it was an afro Semitic language similar to Aramaic also Aramaic is also thought of as an afro Semitic language so I guess the best way to say it's a kushitic language versus Northern I guess African language I don't know. But we still pray it also Coptic it's probably the only form of way to translate the hieroglyphs from what it's being said and that's actually prayed in the Coptic churches it's funny a lot of these Orthodox especially the African have held onto the original languages and I think personally like if there was any interpretation of the Bible those languages in those cultures in Africa and part of West Asia should definitely be looked at it's the only way in my opinion to get an accurate view of Christianity even in its original context but yeah man great Channel I did all the content on here and keep up the great work man I just saw the video that you're not going to be posted on UA-cam anymore at least hit up black Junction I have to go over to patreon and see what I could do but for now I can't really afford it but thank you man I like your stuff
I want to be able to read that African form of writing, I am really shocked at how good you read them and how intricate they seemed to me. I just want to know more about it. Maybe as I saw that writing was more about actions than real sentences, they described situations and actions maybe. As what I thought.
@HomeTeam History Egyptian hieroglyphics derived from Sumerian cuneiform script. Mesopotamian artifacts have been find in pre dynasty Egypt specifically in the badarian 3 period.
+Radimir cossack The origin of Egyptian hieroglyphs is not well known but most scholars agree that it was an indigenous invention. Sumerian and Egyptian developed independently. That theory is outdated unless you have a source of new information.
BS Sumeria had nothing to do with Egypt,Egypt is a child of Africa not Iran,not Iraq,not Europe. For you to come on here and push that bs, you do yourself a disservice.
Home team please ignore these Arabs and Persians, please keep educating our people of their history. I am so glad I found your channel,although I could do without the comments from certain Arab and Persians on here. You my friend should be teaching African history to the young ones. So many young African American children have no concept of their history before slavery and that is a crime. If a tree doesn't have deep roots any type of wind can destroy it,dame as with people.
I would say because writing was kept secret among ethic groups in west Africa and not dispense to the general public prove to be disadvantage to west Africa. I feel Africa would have been much better if the secret societies educated general public before the Arabic system was introduced.
What part of Africa does your family originate? Just wondering, stumbled soon your channel love it so far!! African history is interesting to learn about
In history learning how to read, write and education was reserve for the children of the elite. Ony when the African Moors conquered Spain in the 8 cent CE they make education universal and available to the general population.
You mentioned the veneration of the cattle among the early Nile African cultures and that reminds me of the Aleph, which was the cattle or Ox worshiped by the ancient Egyptians and is the origin of the latter "A" which was adapted by the Israelite peoples and regarded as not just the first latter of their alphabet but also the name of God, it appears in early from Africa, the Middle East and the Levant. The egyptians used an Ox's head to depict the aleph which was later changed to the vulture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph
Informative video. I knew about amharic and Egyptian hieroglyphic. But there's also coptic writing from the Egyptian Christian priesthood and sudanese arabic writing from mali. I'm sure there's tons more not in this video.

Wow... nice video

In history learning how to read, write and education was reserve for the children of the elite. Ony when the African Moors conquered Spain in the 8 cent CE they make education universal and available to the general population.
An the nerve of some people for saying black people didn't have a language pre colonization
Check the Gicandi script from Gikuyu of East Africa

Really great work again.
You mentioned the veneration of the cattle among the early Nile African cultures and that reminds me of the Aleph, which was the cattle or Ox worshiped by the ancient Egyptians and is the origin of the latter "A" which was adapted by the Israelite peoples and regarded as not just the first latter of their alphabet but also the name of God, it appears in early from Africa, the Middle East and the Levant. The egyptians used an Ox's head to depict the aleph which was later changed to the vulture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph

Informative video. I knew about amharic and Egyptian hieroglyphic. But there's also coptic writing from the Egyptian Christian priesthood and sudanese arabic writing from mali. I'm sure there's tons more not in this video.
although i don't speak the language, i can read the tifanigh writing system. from my amazigh background.
Latin/roman, cyryllic, greek, phoenician, arabic, aramaic, hebrew, canaanite and eastern assyrian all descend from Hieroglyphic script...
