#Bantu #Africa #Culture
I first made a backpack trip in 1975. I am German and i found a total different experience as expected. It was stunning to see all these beautiful people. The elegance and caracter of the people struck me totally!!!
Today, I'm married with a woman from Cameroun ❤❤❤❤❤
So you are married to lady who comes from shrimp countery 😂
I am African American here in the US and I have done a DNA test and I am of Bantu Ancestry. I am 35% Nigerian 25% Cameroon, Congo and Western Bantu People and 14% Mali
You could of saved yourself some money and just asked your grandmother.
@@darrelgross5741 the value of knowing the truth is much better than what you think
Same results I got from my DNA results 12% MALI, 8% CAMEROON 21% NIGERIA and the rest Eastern part and Southern part of Africa
All basically the same people. DMA is a joke.
@@darrelgross5741 She wouldn’t know. My family isn’t big on keeping records nor are they interested in our history or genetics
I SO MUCH LOVE this channel. I SO appreciate her research etc.! This channel is straight knowledge
Great history lesson
Thank u so much xx
I'm Zulu and I hear so much similarities when I hear swahili language.
@N.M it’s because the Bantu language Swahili /Kiswahili is spoken by Kenyans -Tanzanians-Rwandans-Burundis-Ugandans-Congolese-Bakunin islanders some parts of Somalia-Northern Mozambique-Zambia-Malawi -Madagascar the Kenyan/Ethiopian border and also some parts of South Africa it remains the widest spoken language in AFRICA so therefore that means her THEORY is INCORRECT?,One!!.
@@i-dred5153 as part of South Africa it's a no, the only thing is common are some words.
@@wisemanmhlanga8832, no state your science!??
Kenyans love south African songs the pronunciation is similar we hear some words : hair = nywele. : teach= fundisha. I like the SA songs alot. I hear little but the sound is enough for for me.

Greetings from the US, and thank you for the information and history of my ancestors👍🏾
Love this, thanks for the content.
Beautiful video Auntie ♥️ thank you.
Thank you Dr. Bunmi Oyinsan for this teaching.
it's no such thing as a Bantu, Bantu is a term that was created by European sailors to help them identify people across the African region ( grouping them all in the same category ) Not all so called African tribes speak Bantu and no Bantu is not the original language of all so called Africans, Bantu is only a North African language ( dialog ) that was spoken by the indigenous tribes of that land before it was colonized. the Igbo tribe don't speak Bantu neither does the Lemba tribe. Bantu is more of a dialog than language, it's a sound like tongue snapping and it started in North Africa but Lemba tribe and Igbos don't snap their tongue when they speak so their not Bantu, Bantu dosn't exist, no all Africans sound like that.
Love your hair and skin! Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your deep knowledge of African history.
Thank you, this was really amazing.
Interesting thing is that Bantu actually means people , the joke is when the Europeans came to Africa they asked them who they were and the people would respond, Bantu (we are people) and the commonalities were due to break ups from main tribal groups . So parts of language and culture were preserved. Luba Lunda Kingdom- Nguni groups and most tribes in central and sub Sahara . Great video mom 🙌🏿
This is not true ... It's okay not to know everything

ln Congolese languages i.e. kikongo, lingala, tshiluba etc bantu means people and muntu is singular person.
@@tatu8663 and then? Who disputed this? I'm just saying Bantu as a nation has far deeper meaning than people...
Bingo! I am so glad someone else has noticed this. White people did not understand the language at all. They guessed and pieced together things due to vague context, as they have all of history, including the Bible, but that is a whole different conversation. 95% of the "translations" of anything African are guesses, and assumptions. If you consider that whites saw them as less than human, then there is no doubt the facts are completly incorrect in many cases.
Please do more research on the Bantu people migrations rather than accepting this old European theory of the great migration which was used to disenfranchise the Bantus of Southern Africa
She is a yoruba person. They are infatuated with themselves then the European. Never mind the truth
I totally agree with you. It is incredible that African scholars still foolishly rely on what european manipulative scholars write concerning the history of the African peoples!!

Why New York? Is he bantu to start that museum?
Thank you...history that we needed to know.
Thank you for the knowledge, great job^^
You are beautiful. Your skin is amazingly clear. You resemble many members of my family and other people I know in the US,
Am A Kenyan, from Kikuyu community, a pure Bantu group but heavily genetically mixed with Nilote (Maasai) and Cushite (Galla and Boran), it's hard to find a pure bantu among the Kikuyu
Speak for yourself....n
@ava's land You hear a lot of similarities between Kikuyu and Xhosa ?
Not true. Have you done any studies on their genetics? If you share ancestry with these other groups do not generalise.
Kikuyu culture is pretty interesting, do you have like a cousinhood relationship with some of those Nilotic tribes?
@@diouranke We did in pre colonial times. The story goes, we migrate to current Central Kenya. We find some hunters and gatherers and southern cushites. We assimilate them over time. Then the Maasais invade in the 17th century. We fight it out in the beginning but over time we cozy up to each other, Kikuyus assimilating some Maasais. Then the white man comes.
Very true keep up....
Very interesting facts thanks for sharing this insight!
One of my sisters had her DNA and our Mom's done. Both had significant Nigerian. But also had Senegal, Guinea, Ghana, Southwest Hunter gatherers and even a tiny 2% North African.
I am honoured to watch this video. As a South African, I am honoured to have a portion of my ancestorial background documented. In essence, our culture is a mixture of Khoikhoi, San and Bantu. We as Africans knew how to unify and go foward as a unit. Regardless of tribe, language, religion or any other creed. We did this because singabantu(We are human). Plus, Bantu refers not only the Dark skin people of Equatorial Africa, but all human beings. That is what defines Ubuntu ♥️🇿🇦

Bantu/Banu
ua-cam.com/video/-AvBUr_NyG0/v-deo.html
The Banu/ Bani Israil

Banu (بنو) mean the plural "The sons of

Volta-Bani War
The Volta-Bani War was an anti-colonial rebellion which took place in French West Africa (specifically, the areas of modern Burkina Faso and Mali) between 1915 and 1917. It was a war between an indigenous African force drawn from a heterogeneous coalition of local peoples (Hebrews) who rose against the French Army.
The word for Hebrew used in the Bible is עברי (pronounced "Ivri"),
Côte d'Ivoire ("Cote d' Ivri" ) The coast of the Hebrews .

Benin
The city of Ouidah (Judah) is on the coast of Benin (formerly Dahomey).
In 1926, there was a large Hebrew community of black Jews in Benin, West Africa. They had a central temple and a Pentateuch written in Hebrew. In their temple are found many laws engraved on tablets, which are attached to the temple walls.
They had a high priest, with a large number of priestly families, whose members walked from house to house rendering educational and religious instructions to each family of the community.
On 21 June, 1962, a shipment consisting of 400 tons of rice and sugar was loaded aboard an Israeli freighter at Haifa as a gift from Israel to the famine-stricken people of Dahomey, at that time. The African republic’s Ambassador Jean Baptiste Mockey, attended a ceremony aboard the ship, formally accepting the gift on behalf of his government.
(Zanj Rebellion)
Begun near the city of Basra in present-day southern Iraq and led by one Ali ibn Muhammad, the insurrection involved enslaved Bantu [Banu]-speaking people (Zanj) who had originally been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East, principally to drain the region's salt marshes.
The leader of the revolt was a Ali ibn Muhammad, an Islamic scholar of uncertain background. Little is known about his family or early life due to a scarcity of information and conflicting accounts. According to one version, his paternal grandfather was descended from the Abd al-Qays and his paternal grandmother was a Sindhi slave woman, while his mother, a free woman, was a member of the Banu Asad ibn
The Banu Qurayza (Arabic: بنو قريظة, Hebrew: בני קוריט'ה; alternate spellings include Quraiza, Qurayzah, Quraytha, and the archaic Koreiza) were a Jewish tribe which lived in northern Arabia.
Jewish tribes reportedly arrived in Hijaz in the wake of the Jewish-Roman wars and introduced agriculture, putting them in a culturally, economically and politically dominant position. However, in the 5th century, the Banu Aws and the Banu Khazraj, two Arab tribes that had arrived from Yemen, gained dominance. When these two tribes became embroiled in conflict with each other, the Jewish tribes, now clients or allies of the Arabs, fought on different sides, the Qurayza siding with the Aws.
Battle of the Trench
In 622, the Islamic prophet Muhammad arrived at Yathrib from Mecca and reportedly established a pact between the conflicting parties. While the city found itself at war with Muhammad's native Meccan tribe of the Quraysh, tensions between the growing numbers of Muslims and the Jewish communities mounted.
In 627, when the Quraysh and their allies besieged the city in the Battle of the Trench, the Qurayza initially tried to remain neutral but eventually entered into negotiations with the besieging army, violating the pact they had agreed to years earlier. Subsequently, the tribe was charged with treason and besieged by the Muslims commanded by Muhammad.The Banu Qurayza eventually surrendered and their men were beheaded.
After the Meccans' withdrawal, Muhammad then led his forces against the Banu Qurayza neighborhood. According to Ibn Ishaq, he had been asked to do so by the angel Gabriel. The Banu Qurayza retreated into their stronghold and endured the siege for 25 days. As their morale waned, Ka'b ibn Asad suggested three alternative ways out of their predicament: embrace Islam; kill their own children and women, then rush out for a charge to either win or die; or make a surprise attack on the Sabbath. The Banu Qurayza accepted none of these alternatives. Instead they asked to confer with Abu Lubaba, one of their allies from the Aws. According to Ibn Ishaq, Abu Lubaba felt pity for the women and children of the tribe who were crying and when asked whether the Qurayza should surrender to Muhammad, advised them to do so. However he also "made a sign with his hand toward his throat, indicating that [their fate] at the hands of the Prophet would be slaughter". The next morning, the Banu Qurayza surrendered and the Muslims seized their stronghold and their stores. The men - Ibn Ishaq numbers between 400 and 900 - were bound and placed under the custody of one Muhammad ibn Maslamah, who had killed Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, while the women and children - numbering about 1,000 - were placed under Abdullah ibn Sallam, a former rabbi who had converted to Islam.
According to Stillman, Muhammad chose Sa'd so as not to pronounce the judgment himself, after the precedents he had set with the Banu Qaynuqa and the Banu Nadir: "Sa`d took the hint and condemned the adult males to death and the hapless women and children to slavery."
It is also reported that one woman, who had thrown a millstone from the battlements during the siege and killed one of the Muslim besiegers, was also beheaded along with the men. Ibn Asakir writes in his History of Damascus that the Banu Kilab, a clan of Arab clients of the Banu Qurayza, were killed alongside the Jewish tribe.
Three boys of the clan of Hadl, who had been with Qurayza in the strongholds, slipped out before the surrender and converted to Islam. The son of one of them, Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, gained distinction as a scholar. One or two other men also escaped.
The spoils of battle, including the enslaved women and children of the tribe, were divided up among the Islamic warriors that had participated in the siege and among the emigrees from Mecca (who had hitherto depended on the help of the Muslims native to Medina.
Mohammad collected one-fifth of the booty, which was then redistributed to the Muslims in need, as was customary. As part of his share of the spoils, Muhammad selected one of the women, Rayhana, for himself and took her as part of his booty. Muhammad offered to free and marry her and according to some sources she accepted his proposal. She is said to have later become a Muslim.
Some of the women and children of the Banu Qurayza who were enslaved by the Muslims were later bought by Jews, in particular the Banu Nadir. Peterson argues that this is because the Nadir felt responsible for the Qurayza's fate due to the role of their chieftain in the events
Queen of the Desert: The Amazing Story of “Jewish Khaleesi”
A ruthless steadfast warrior, as well as a merciful leader who liberated thousands of slaves - this was Dihya al Kahina, a Jewish Berber Northern African woman.
Dihya al Kahina lived in Northern Africa at the end of the 7th century. In Muslim sources she is described as “dark skinned with lots of hair and huge eyes”. Fascinated by her exotic image, historian Nahum Slouschz described her as “fair as a horse, strong as a wrestler, a true desert woman, healthy and fast on her feet, an excellent rider and a shooter who never misses”, and studied her character throughout Northern Africa. Slouschz asserted that Dihya meant “Jewess” and that “al Kahina” referred to the family of Kohanim (priests).
Born to a Jewish-Moorish-Berber tribe from today’s Mauritania, Dihya headed the resistance to the Muslim invaders of the Ummaya dynasty, who conquered the Maghreb towards the west during the 7th and 8th centuries. Her adventures are dated 687-697, when Hassan ben Naaman, military commander of the Khalif Abd Al Malech, was heading towards Carthage in order to occupy it. He had 45,000 soldiers under his command and was prepared to almost every scenario - except that of an army of Berber tribes headed by a woman battling against him.
Dihya offered peace but the Muslim commander would not accept, unless she acknowledged the authority of the Kahllif and adopted Islam, an ultimatum she rejected scornfully. According to Slouschz, she was descendent of a priestly family deported from Judea by Pharaoh Necho in the days of King Yoshiahu. She did not intend to enter the family history as a leader who caused yet another deportation of the dynasty, and certainly did not intend to convert to Islam. “I shall die in the religion I was born to”, she shortly answered the commander’s demands, and went on forging her steel sword.

New dna research have shed new light that the bantu didn't originate in west africa but north east africa
Well,time will tell.
Bantu ethnicity are gods of this world.
I was told in my dream that I am from Nigeria Bayelsa region.
You will be surprised to learn where is Egyptian's Goshen region where Israelites were living.
Let us tap into the power of our Father in Heaven.
This has always been the case before the Europeans spread the notion of West Africa.
I can support your idea.
Bantus already knew that and always said we didnt come from West africa. My ancestors passed that down
I would like to know the source of that claim.
North Africa also became integrated with subsaharan Africa through various means as well. Also throughout East Africa. The Sahara was the transition point. It has been going on hundreds of not thousands of years. Just as much as if not more than the Mediterranean. Many Bantu were indigenous to North Africa before being replaced.
Also the Sahara wasn’t always a desert. When the lush green land dried up many Africans were dispersed across the continent
We lived in Abyssinia before 300AD, we left north east Africa around circa 600BC.

Blk Africans left north africa because it dries up. They were not replaced""" lol. Blk Africans natural habitat is not desert. So they migrated. Stop crying

Great video
I am Dominican and had a dream last night with a chant including Bantu language. Mind you, I only speak English, Spanish, and some Italian but this dream certainly has meaning and I want to share with anyone of the culture. How do i know it is Bantu? Well I googled the chant and it was translated from Nyanja to English. In the dream they were honoring the death of an older gentleman and they were walking down the street in the pouring rain celebrating his death. His family passed by in front to also join in the parade and as they chanted , we joined in the chant to honor and respect his life. The chant was “Akulaki chi kulala”🎶 and when i googled the translation, it said “He is still sleeping.” 🤯 I am not sure if anyone can help me interpret my dream and how I was able to learn these words of a language i’ve never spoken!
Kulala means sleeping in swahili and some bantu tribes
Am akamba tribe of 🇰🇪 kenya and I belong to bantu tribes
Thank you for responding!! Appreciate it! So the translation was correct! Idk who the deceased person was but they were chanting that “he is still sleeping.” In the dream location was near my fathers old house, he past away 4 yrs ago coming up. Im not sure if its related to him or someone else that may pass soon.

@africaine4889 You are correct, but she's not totally wrong. I'm also a Mu Ntu from Kongo. What I've noticed is that: for some reasons, most of our brothers and sisters from english speaking side have abit of less information access to African history. That's why I always advocate for us all to adopt Swahili instead of learning another European language like french to access the infos. I, myself, other than french, english, Swahili, and Lingala; I speak other 3 more African languages. I'll advise who ever can to read the book for e.g: Kongo: l'égrègore du monde.
Before arriving in that area now called west Afrika, Ba Ntus migrated from the area between the greatlakes of Africa and eastern Congo, then expanded to the north

The problem with this lesson is that it concentrates far too much on recent history.
Which is only because most of that information comes from Europe’s viewpoint of history.
The so called Bantu migration misses the point on so many levels, there was never a mass movement South, rather than can be better described as an expansion.
Secondly the movement had happened several times prior to what is cited as the ‘great’ migration.
If modern humans are 200 000 years old, I doubt that the proposition that the Bantu miraculous appeared from thin air only 3000 years ago and started moving south can hold any weight.
She speaks from the view of more ancient pre-colonial times as well. She share s from that era though much of it comare conecentrated in the middle ages.
What amazes me is thar everyone speaks with so much cobfidence as if they were there. Then they call anyone who doesn't share their narrative heretics. Rare, extremely rare are those who show humility by saying they do not know everything and à large portion is speculatio from their part based on their interpretation of the events as presented to them in their researches.

I am very disappointed in your coverage of sub Saharan history. Compared to how you cover Ethiopian and Egyptian history. This was shallow and shows how little is know or ignored about bantus. Speak about architecture and the history of the various ethnic groups. Go into depth. New world encyclopedia cannot define who we are.
I agree, there is nothing different than what you’d find if you just googled.
I'm an American. I sincerely want to know where the Bantus originated. For example, I have heard that some African people have migrated into Africa from the Middle East. It is also my understanding, that the Middle East is also Africa, with plate tectonics showing that the Arabian plate is a piece of the African plate that broke off. Furthermore, I have noticed that many languages in Africa's Bantu regions are similar to Hebrew. Japanese also has a lot of Hebrew and Bantu similarities.
@@Ric9hardify This is actually my understanding and observation, especially with Japanese and my OShiwambo mother tongue. There is no such thing as the middle east in the 18th Century.

With all due respect, there is no genetic proof to the Bantu people originating anywhere near west or central Africa. All Bantu exclusively carry Haplogroup E1b1a and that Haplogroup originates in North Eastern Africa. That's the region of Ethiopia/Levant. The sister Haplogroup E1b1b also originate there. The carriers of those two Haplogroups combine make up close to 90% of people living in Africa.
The Bantu originated in East Africa with the founding of Ancient Egypt. Genetic evidence shows that Ramses III and Pentaware both being related and carrying Haplogroup E1b1a. The Armana mummies which includes Tutankhaman was shown to have genetic relation to those in the African Great Lakes and other Bantus throughout Africa. After Egypt was ransacked by the foreigners, then the great Bantu migration started to take place into inner Africa. In Africa, Haplogroup E itself did not even originate in inner African. It's from the Levant(Modern day Saudi Arabia/Israel.
You started with where did the Bantu people came from and then jump directly to the 1800s European exploitation period. That's just a show 500 year period. That's not Bantu history.
Thank You so much!
I guess that you are saying that Bantu is the primary geo-ethno-lingua root of Africa.

This Lady Professor is simply regurgitating the rubbish told by Europeans and Euro-Americans.
There are no Bantu speaking populations in West Africa. If they came from West Africa, you will expect at least one Bantu tribe in West Africa proper.
West Africans themselves came from West Sahara, part of the Ancient Kiffian civilisation.
Bantu people originate at Nabta Playa in East Sahara in what is now Southern Libya and North West Sudan.
The oldest Bantu archeological settlement South of the Sahara is Urewe in East Africa's Uganda/Kenya dating to 300BC circa (Greeks were already ruling Egypt by then).
One last thing: the lady keeps peddling the 'Sub-Saharan Africa' nonsense that Europeans invented in the 1970s.

The West African People are not different from the Bantus..the only difference is intermarriages, assimilations and environmental adoptions.
Separating Bantus by color, language, height will confuse you more.
My own personal opinion, West Africans are the ancestors of Bantu's.
@@ohlangeni the Word Bayith has inspired the Word Bantu again whose saying they were lying....?
Michel G Rabbat.Egypt.Amer./Florida: Adupe Dr for your relatively modern history of Bantu spread and Islamization of N.Africa. I wish to stress ancestral deep-ingrained respect (called worship by europeans), including Oba respect. In the 60's Prince Ollanrewaju had just driven me back from Ikeja airport and we were on our way to a meeting in Ibadan, when Olla suggested he pay his respect to the ruling Oba of his homeland Abeokuta , and to Olumo Rock. As soon as we were allowed audience, Olla went full length flat on his face. He was permitted up and I was welcomed to sit on a pillow-less armchair. I did not get a sense of hegemony...of despotism but of paternal affection flowing from his majesty the Oba. It made me understand how ancient Egyptians loved-respected their Per-Aon... as a living embodiment of the Neteru (gods?) of past ages. It was more social tie than spiritual religion that european egyptologists could only understand in our own religious concept of divinity. They even misrepresented the text in a tomb thousands of years into history as talking of the the primordial land of the "neteru" ancestors as being the source area of the Nile instead of Somali (horn of Africa and south Arabia and Red sea Kemt somali expansion since pre-desertification times.)
L'histoire des bantou est complexe mais etudiable parcequ'elle est l'une des premîeres langue écrites c.a.d l'égyptien anciens les mots bantous se trouvent dans les langues européennes comme bon,ceci, cela ,bâtir ,fils , famille ,papa,maman ,si ,tenir, vœux,vivre ,veuf,vulve, vieux,village,chèvre qui vient de vi vache vient de chevi c.a.d plus grosse qu'une chèvre pour le français .tragen en germanique vient de ta go Cad attraper et partir ac pour eau water veut dire l'eau qui fait waza donc l'eau de pluie.bref le bantou est a l'origine une langue monosylabique, analogique,onomatopique très proche de la nature très proche de l'Égyptien ancien et montre bien que l'Europe était peuplée de subsahariens avant l'arrivée des yamnayas et que la maternelle a pu se conserver malgré tout.
Great info.

I’m a Bantu. Born in Mozambique. We were colonised by the Portuguese yet we were able to keep our language and culture. Bantu religion is basically the Old Testament. We believe to be the Hebrew people forced out of Israel due to different occupations.
Thanks for confirmation...
You can't be Hebrew, you're older and you're African, sad
You individually, cannot be Bantu - it's a plural - you are a Muntu. Bantu cultures were already cultivating long before there was a tiny place called Israel. Essential is the belief that every life is equal to the Creator while the Mosaic faith places the human above anything else. But whatever makes you happy ...

Good job mum
I'm not done watching but I stopped to say this: My biggest issue with our history as Africans it starts with European/Eurocentric view and I believe that is what skews everything. Just because tonally we sounded the same, I feel like that is not enough to say where we originate from in Africa. All the parts Europeans claim (north and south africa) seems to belong to no one and I find that suspicious. I'm native of South Africa who speaks Xhosa but I can never understand most of what is spoken in other parts of Africa (central, east, west, north). I'm actually building in my ancestral home in South Africa after living in the USA and sharing my journey on my channel. But thank you for your insights.
I’m from Kenya -I can relate to Xhosa Language,Bagandan ,a bit of Zulu most of the words are similar to my tribe language Luhya !!!
@@Neys_Nest Words being similar is one thing. But saying we all come from Cameroon/Nigeria is just false, with no evidence. There is not a single tribe in Africa named Bantu, Europeans created the grouping in the 1890s. In my language, 'vantu' means people, and applies to everyone in the world, not any one group of people. We only identify by ethnic groups, clan, tribe, and nationality not as 'people.' 🤣
I've done my research and the only place that links all 'Bantu' groups together is Congo basin/Great lakes region, not West Africa. In fact, it was accepted as the original homeland of the Bantu speakers until the (?1950s/1970s) with either Guthrie or Greenberg propagating the Nigeria/Cameroon hypothesis, which has become the mainstream narrative but challenged by scholars for decades.
West Africans and Bantus are related, because our common ancestors lived in the Green Sahara(12,000BC-2,000BC) and Nile Valley, before adopting sedentary life due to desertification, and expanding southwards into hunter-gatherer, or pastoralist inhabited regions. But Africans have always moved around. There's no such thing as a 'Bantu migration.'
@b can I get receipts
@@user-vw6bk4pb4l True,it's unbelievable that we just decided at once to up and go our separate ways.it all sound made up.
@Mephisto We have our histories and are not a blank slate waiting for Western "academics" to write one for us. People who have a very long history of misrepresenting us, and undermining input from Africans. We are not extinct and fossilised Ancient Egyptians or Sumerians, we are still living and breathing ancient cultures. I will not have foreigners attempt to monopolise and rewrite my history, let alone on unsubstantiated theories and inconclusive evidence.
Evidence from abstract Linguistic analyses alone proves nothing and like all social sciences requires corroboration from other fields, yet 70 years later we still barely have any conclusive evidence on this "Bantu expansion" from Cameroon/Nigeria outside the linguistics of Guthrie, Greenberg and gang. In fact, despite the modern consensus, there are significant debates regarding the Bantu expansion in linguistic circles too, which i wont get into because we spend way too much time in linguistics already. Bantu expansion from Nigeria/Cameroon is a theory with many large holes, therefore you people must stop promoting it as fact and acting like all we must accept it as our history. And according to the theory, it stipulates a SIMULTANEOUS migration of people spreading their language, culture and technology of agriculture and metallurgy, over a 3000-5000 year period.
Our own local histories, alternate hypothesis and counter narratives deserve just as much if not more attention.
The "cultural-administrative expansion" from the great lakes is not factual either. This whole idea of human history as all major political and cultural evolutions and intersections between groups being a linear diffusion from a central point of origin, is not based on reality. Or the idea of social evolution from primitive to advanced social organisation, ineffective to effective, worse to better. It all depends on the specific context.
In Kikongo the words are formed by 16 main syllables ex: BA DA GA FA MA KA PA LA.. each syllable is primordial sound of creation and has a numerical place value.

Yes of course, they are real Bantu....our blood
True mum. Even dances and most words are common among Bantus right from East Central n south African countries as a whole. 👍👍🙏
Bantu words and Hebrew words have similar sayings to even Igbo and other languages this can vary really...
Yes we speak similar languages in East and Southern Africa. We are the same people pushed in the South and East from North Africa. Our parents talks about where they came from called Kola.

Credo Muwto will explain the origins of the Africans! So very deep knowledge!
From the stars ✨🌟 ⭐️
I have never been taught the bantu originated from Western Africa. We are taught we come from Misri which is now known as Egypt. We then settled in the Congo and we later settled in other countries like Kenya and South Africa.
Even current bantus now have nothing that shows West Africa.
So...
Whoever told you about misri is either ignorant or lying. It's West Africans that originated from the Omo Valley region of Ethiopia and Bantu's originated from West Africa.
Paternal haplogroup e1b1a originated from Omo Valley region of Ethiopia, but paternal haplogroup e1b1a subclade em2 originated in West Africa.
West Africans and Bantu's are the same genetically.
West Africans are paternal haplogroup e1b1a subclade em2.
Bantu's are paternal haplogroup e1b1a subclade em2.
Same thing. No difference.
@@nwachinemere7759 But west far has no Bantus. The western African language has no relation with the bantu language we don't even borrow words from west Africa. Bantu food is completely different from west African food. Bantu culture and customs are completely different from the west Africa.

@@malakaimusa1476
Claim you for what? Who the hell are you? I'm giving you facts and you are talking about somebody claiming you. Anthropological scientists concluded dozens of years ago that the Bantu languages originated from West Africa after studying them extensively. And then, about 20 years ago, DNA scientists discovered that West Africans and Bantu's are genetically identical. Both groups are paternal haplogroup e1b1a subclade em2. They dated the West African paternal haplogroup e1b1a subclade em2 to be, between 20,000 to 25,000 in West Africa and the Bantu e1b1a subclade em2 to be, between 2000 and 8000 years in Central Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa.
Along with other African groups, ancestors of ‘Bantu speakers’ most likely migrated from the Green Sahara when it dried 5000 years ago (a documentary on this called the black mummy of the Sahara). Mainstream & westernised schools of thought will falsely claim that the migration was strictly from west Africa (with no coherent tangible evidence). This will remain the status quo, because ultimately the existence of blacks in north Africa prior to the desert proves as yet another strong Black African connection to the original founding peoples of KMT (Ancient Egypt).
Ancient Egypt was made desolate by God so the nilotes (Ancient Egypt) migrated downwards deeper into Africa with the bantus(israelites)

Big man; Indeed it seems Bantu people originated from Igbo land in South East Nigeria (Niger delta). One of the reasons I watch Nigerian movies, is that they provides a view, albeit sometimes dramatised, of ancient government structure among the Igbo such as the Igwe (King) and Ezemwa (medicine man and the "Eyes of the gods" and custodian of the law); with Prime minister (Unowu). THis is very similar to Kikuyu's structure of Government. My grand dad who never left Central Kenya was a medicine man and walked backwards when performing a ritual in his shrine (in the 1970s) just like the Igbo's Ezemwa! Some Igbo names are similar names to those Kenyans' eg Nkechi (Igbo girl); Wangeci (Kikuyu girl) but even more intriguing is Okech (Luo boy) vs Okechi (Igbo boy), yet Luos are not Bantu but Nilotes. It is also interesting to note that (my opinion) Igbos mannerisms, determination and entrepreneurial spirit are found among Kikuyus and Luos. I am not a historian stand to be corrected; my guess is that during the Bantu migration lasting hundreds of years, the Bantus mingled and intermarried with various non Bantus, which creates a beautiful cultural mosaic among the Bantus.
Luos arenot bantu
Nah I can’t speak for all “Bantu” BUT THE KÔNGO PEOPLE CAME FROM ANCIENT KEMET
@PopItMelanin Exactly. They're more Bantoid with pure bantu ancestry than west Africans with pure west African lineage. I believe the migration started from south to north.
@PopItMelanin Thanks for educating me. Much appreciated.
@PopItMelanin Oh yeah, I forgot the eve gene where most Tanzanian and Kenyan women carry it. So basically, the bantu Nation hold the oldest human in history. But Morocco had found bones older than any bones found in the world. What do you think about that?

I am umuntu (of bantu) from the Zulu tribe, currently living in Kwa-Zulu Natal (King of the Zulus) in South Africa. The word Zulu has about 10 different meanings. Mainly amaZulu means heavens, so Zulu people we are people from the heavens & to the heavens we return. We have links to the Dogons that observed the star Sirius B with the naked eye & believe that's where they came from. Amazulu = Zulu people or heavens. iZulu means wether or heaven. IsiZulu = zulu language or traditional zulu beer. Zulu is also the last name of the royal Zulu family & relatives. Zulu is the culture that people from Kwa-Zulu Nata provincel practice. Zululand is the town where the palace exists.
Kwa-Zulu Natal is the Kingdom of the Zulus not the king. Typo*

The system of age groups was the main form of organization for non-aurocratic nations. The communities were organized into age sets who passed through various life stages as a group. The Eldest made the elders who judged/reconciled/laid out rules etc. The younger ones were the worriors
I never understand the link to West Africa. At least there should be something Bantu adopted from them. Eg the Bantus in South Africa adopted clicks from the Khoi and San. With the West it is almost like no word is common with Bantus. It has no sense to live among certain people and come out the same. Something has to be adopted by both groups. This history in this video needs to be revised and supported by real facts not just theory only.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
@@kingkevin442 Thank you so much, there is no link to West Africa at all and they have to stop it
There is a lot of misinformation in this, one should look at Africa from a prehistoric time and how it expanded. Not only history will help here to develop a cohesive narrative without bringing in archaeological and cultural anthropological evidence. Historians in Africa need to venture out of their historical boxes and see Africa from a different lens.
