Honourable Mention. Queen MaNthatisi of South Africa who lead an army of 40 000 to resist Shaka Zulu's expansion campaign. She was also a conqueror Queen.
@@jessicaguilloryrance7260 Yeah they were defeated a few times especially by the neighboring Basotho tribe. The Basotho king even sent The Zulu king Shaka, some cattle as consolation for his loss. And this was Shaka at his height, struck fear into and conquered every tribe except the Basotho.
I was thinking the same exact. Thing. This list is incredible. Was just learning about Wu Zetian of China. She was the only women to ever become ruler of China. But it was happening on the continent frequently even around d the same period it seems.
Well, the 10 names of the list cover the span of 3500 years, and many of them weren't in full charge or full control of the power. I mean, with the exception of the Muslim world, there have been many queens elsewhere, I would even say more queens. Just think about the russian Czarinas, or the English monarchs, or the Palmyra's queen Zenobia, the Byzantine empress Irene, or Tarabai of the Marathas empire
And there still are. Every King rules with a Queen or Queen mother. This Queen is chosen within the immediate family of King or from an extension of Royals in the same land. It's to check monopoly of power and also give voice to the women of the land.. The King having more dominance than the Queen can be punished or dethroned if his actions betrays the respect, counsel or voice of the Queen.
I’m white, from the uk and love this channel. I watch it with my children, they find it as interesting as I do!! This is what schools should be teaching, thank you for helping me educate my family 😊
I'm glad you like this channel and the willingness to listen. Channels like these aren't here to bash or tare white and other races down, It's here to teach us about untold history about African people and how they also had kingdoms, royalties as well just as any other race. It's a struggle to get and find these stories because African history has been hidden or destroyed to gather the pieces that why it's so important to us because it's apart of our history as well. I'm wishing you and your family the best life
Hi, I am a big fan of Queen Asantewaa as well, among others. I even narrate her story on my channel. I invite you to check it out when you can; thanks :-)
@@mrmystique Her family the Ptolemys were Greek. There were no more Pharaohs after that. They practiced intermarriage too. In fact she had to marry her brother. She wasn't adopted and never her children were white too because they were by romans. The Romans conquered Egypt after she committed suicide.
Queen Amanerenas is my favorite queen, also! The ultimate warrior. I respect all that were mentioned in this video, though. Also plan to research more into the Sénégambian queen, since that is some of my ancestry.✌🏿.
Queen Nyabinghi Muhumuza, the warrior queen of Rwanda who led one of the greatest anti-colonial movements. She is highly praised by the Rastafari movement and was celebrated in Bob Marley's song "Jump Nyabinghi" 🎵 We keep on troddin' until Babylon falls! (Jump, jump, jump,) Nyabinghi! 🎶
@@hourexodus5204 that is a fact! I grew up Rastafarian, there are those who follow the Christian ways, and those who beat the drums spiritually. I always felt drawn to the drums every time my family went to prospect park in Brooklyn where they would play in nature. I couldn't grasp how most of them followed other religions. It was a mind blowing experience
This is the first time I am hearing about these strong and mighty female queens who were also great warriors. I feel extremely honoured and privelleged to be a black woman and to learn about my Royal and Free Ancestors. Thank you for making this possible. God bless you.
The fact that we never learn all of these at school.. I remember having just one lesson about Queen Ndatté Yalla in primary school in Senegal. Thank you so much for this
I named my daughter,Belkees,it was the name of the Queen of the kingdom of Sheba,her kingdom,went from yemen to Ethiopia known for her intelligence,beauty,wit she became queen at age of 15,she was powerful,rich ,and determinated ruler,she was briefly mentioned in the bible,for challenging king Salomon.
Thanks for adding more queens who I wasn't aware of and providing reference resources. And..."Yesss!" for closing it out with the Kandake, Amanirenas! ****heart her****
Queen of the slave trade she grew slavery and used it as her power source to control the region and expand the empire 😂 but I guess it’s only bad when white folks do it
Thank you for the exceent insight. Always inspiring to watch your videos and the knowledge you share is absolutely incredible. May you add Queen Gwamile of Swaziland and Queen Modjadji of baVhenda in South Africa and Kung Shaks Mother. Thank you for the great work
Thank you sir for the history lesson we are African-Americans should know past present and the future something especially our children should know thank you again God bless you happy new year👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👑🍾🥂
Being an African, I am so proud of my ancestors because my father treated all his female children as Queens that were are. My tribe always have a female leader ( Governors). Until present day..
This was desperately NEEDED to end Black History month. Please add a list with the correct spelling of all the names. Keep up the great content and excellent education my brother. Ase' 🙏
Jokes aside, thank you for all your work. I enjoy your channel very much and the history lessons I learn here will last me in throughout the rest of my days! Thank you!

This is why he always ask us to add more information that we know that he don’t include... so don’t be mad, you added another that many don’t know so our voices matter
Queen mothers are actually the most powerful and heavily guarded and revered royalty. this goes way back to prepatriarchy days when we were deeply honoured, respected oracles, prophetesses and we embodied the African Divine Goddess. We should be looking at THAT part of our history right now as we go through the apocalypse. that's the knowledge that needs to be unveiled. We have to remember how we maintained balance by invoking Maat. Love your content!
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Queen Nzinga was Queen of Kongo Kingdom. Angola did not become a country until the end 1975. But Luanda was one of the headquarters of the Kongo Kingdom.

They are a lot of those queens on every square inch of the continent
@SICELO BHEKI BAFANA KHUMALO And for what ?!
It just hit me while watching this that there have been more female rulers in Africa in ancient times than anywhere else in the world!

We definitely need more African historical movies. Wishful thinking.
Thank you for this wonderful information.
Look here: ua-cam.com/video/YZb4yAvMPFk/v-deo.html
For more African movies search for Nollywood.
Agreed and less African slave movies...
Forget Disney princesses. Our daughters should be focused on African Queens, they're real at least
To every thing there is a season
No doubt.
@@terrigold what are u even talkin bout
I agree
I totally agree with you!
