    Powerful information, its amazing to see how they were using gold as art, in order to store and pass on information. The knowledge of our ancestors never seizes to amaze me!

    Okay Sir. You have a lovely channel. But please add some playlists. I'd love to binge African history throughout time videos. But I might be in the mood a different day to see and compare different tribes. Versus more standalone topics like communication methods (gold or African hair styles etc). Your content is such a rich topic but it's a little overwhelming trying to navigate to it.
    And don't be afraid to go ham and make 20-30 min videos, maybe even as Part 2s to better flesh out topics.

    As a pro white identitarian who is very proud of people’s history, culture, I’ve always found it sad that blacks always look towards some foreign history as a source of identity, such as Islam, Egypt or even black Israelites. I’m glad that a black man such as yourself has found a way to celebrate their history just as I celebrate my own. I understand that with that you may be unable to see me as equal or even may end up hating my people but I hope one day we can live in harmony amongst ourselves.
    I really enjoy your content, it’s hard to learn much about African history because a lot of it wasn’t written down as much and they didn’t even go to war with people who wrote down much. You do a very good job of making it easily digestible, I’m currently binging all of your videos while I recover from surgery keep it up good sir!
