Cattle, Crops and Iron - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 2]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Zeinab Badawi continues her journey through the history of human development travelling to meet the Maasai of east Africa - one of the best known of the continent’s ethnic groups. They help explain how human beings began to domesticate animals and become pastoralists. Then in Zimbabwe with one lively farming family, Zeinab examines how humans also began to settle and make a living from farming. And she also looks at how the Iron Age transformed life in Africa and paved the way for the development of rich urban civilisations.

Black people are the true biblical Isrealites , scattered among the four winds of the earth due to disobience of keeping yahwehs laws, statues and commandments. We were enslaved and the bottom of the phiramid, but we a royal family. Read Deutronomy 28 , about the blessings and curses and lavitus 26 in order to identify the people. Exodus 4:6-8 ; numbers 12:10, songs of Solomon 1:5-6; Jeremiah 2:14; job 30:30; Daniel 7:9; revelation 1:14-15 and there are many more references. 2 chronicles 7:14. Knowledge is key for Hosea 4:6 says my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge. This what the bible says about the fake Jews, revelation 2:9; 3:9 read !!! Peace
@@maggie5148 fuck that rubbish fairy tale. Demented colonials still thinking we need your delusions to give us identity? Balderdash!

Africans don't need a Jewish history to be significant
No one knows the historical origin of the human race
Damn, the Masai are a majestic human society. These folks have had been wearing that beautiful ornamentation for a thousand years probably. Their homes are LITERALLY woven baskets. Shout out to the Masai from your Nigerian brother.
@noisy welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪 karibu nairobi
you are welcome to kenya anytime brother
Ms. Badawi, This series is wonderful. I'm enjoying each episode. I loved that you asked how long it takes to gather water. This is the single biggest time restraint for millions of African women. Excess to water is a human right. :) Thanks. Marcina
why don't they just build a well next to their home

Me too. Been meaning to learn more history. Might as well start in the beginning.
Me too
Mr.Pathista, highly educated very impressed with his wording i love you sir."Africa did not write, but this is not to say that Africa did not document " Amen
✊🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🗣🗣🗣
Love Phatisa Nyathi! A wise African black man, reminds me of my dad. An endless pool of knowledge
This BBC series is, in my opinion, one of the best to date. Also seeing and hearing Zeinab Badawi, away from her usual excellent political interviews and reporting, throws a completely new light on her abilities as an excellent communicator. The BBC has done great service by uploading this highly educational series on UA-cam. Thank you so much.
I am bench watching this whole series during this Corona lockdown,
3 episode down 9 to go.
I started the binge yesterday
Me too my bradaa

The man cant say everyone was black lol, he keeps saying darker skinned
Same here hopefully everyone pays attention with all this madness the only option is staying home and learning something new and everyone keep your ass home 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🥣🥣🥣
The Victoria Falls need to be renamed. The falls must have an African name.
Piman Mann Jaques that’s what comes to my mind they have to change as soon as possible
Its called Mosi-oa-Tunya which means the smoke that thunders in Lozi spoken in Zambia and the surrounding areas.
@@ishmaellion6721 Its actually a Tonga name and not Lozi. Lozi is spoken in Western Zambia, while the falls are in Southern Zambia which is the region populated by the Tonga, Toka-Leya populations
Mazuba Kapambwe Ok thanks thought it was Lozi I’m from Zimbabwe.
@@ishmaellion6721 I know that name. It's beautiful! So much more romantic than "Victoria Falls." No self respecting people name their landmarks after their oppressors!
I wish I could have been taught by Tate Nyathi. He is a walking book of African wisdom. Kudos to him!!
Indeed! He is kind and wise like the healers of old times.
Very true, he answered her question (semi-jokingly) about rain dance very well.
Marisa the retired science teacher summed up everything in such a wise manner. Great African right there.
Africans must begin to understand their past in order to assert their identity and control their present narratives. Everybody should understand and celebrate their identity.
Who told you they don't understand their past? Do you not see that most of the experts in this are African? Why do you all feel like you know what's best for other people? Thats that colonial mindset you can't even help it can you...smfh
What many regions of Africa need more is a sense of shared purpose.
This is the most important information I have ever watched over and over and over in joy and love. Home. I am thankful to have the rare privilege of sharing such an important part of the human culture. We must protect Africa. We must protect home. This is the story of us. This is us. This is me. I am a child of Africa.
I like the explanation and defence of the rain dance by Phatisa at the end. 🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽
I got goosebumps just listening to him. I've never seen things from that perspective and I'm so proud of what he said.
Mohammed Sadat Abdulai definitely man, even Zeinab was mesmerised. Such a eloquent and thought out response.
Yeah...... It touched home that was what life is and how it should be lived.
I really enjoy this but they are educating us and the man said Africa did not write. How ever there are examples all over the continent of writing indigenous to Africa. There are certain regions Africa that did not write this is what he should have said. Teachers have to be careful if they are going about the good work of dispelling certain Notions about the African peoples to not perpetuate the very ideas and attitudes that we seek to be rid of.
THE END OF THIS CLASS THE EXPLANATION OF THE DANCE TO ME WAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I WAS LIKE WOW WHAT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WE HAVE ON THE CONTINENT AND TO KNOW THIS IS WHERE WE COME FROM MAKES ME VERY PROUD TO BE AFRICAN EVEN THOUGH I WAS STOLEN AND BORN IN THIS SLAVE CASTLE CALLED AMERICA 👊🏾💪🏿💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's so great to watch a show like this. I rarely see this side of Africa in the media! It made me see the continent with completely new eyes.
Usually the documentaries just show the bad sides but this shows how this continent is so diverse and so rich in history and culture!
😃👏
there are gold mines and civilizations over 100 thousand yrs old...satellites are finding them...Spinx built when you just learn to heard animals....nope..time line is off
Zainab, I thank you million times for resurrecting anew the history of Africa by putting it at the centre stage of the world where it belongs. And I hope, with your support and guidance, the African universities, who long neglected our history, will wake up to reality and make use of your enlightening series.
41:25 Pathisa Nyathi is fenomenal in this last rain dance piece. Man has infinite wisdom. He made poetry explaining his culture, that alone was worth the whole video
I am already addicted to this series and will watch it again and again. I was very glad to see Mr. Nyathi educate the narrator about how important a comprehensive understanding of all cultures is so important. He did this after the narrator asks if the rain dance could really bring rain.
ok karen
You really believed that we came from monkeys? Really ??
Real Karen indeed ! Always finding fault and opening their mouths unnecessarily!!
I don't believe i came from animal
The narrator speaks slowly and clearly... she shows the most interesting facts.... makes it very interesting from start to finish.....
At 32.20, Amazing and resolute composure by Zeinab for not bursting out in girly giggles for Allan's response to the question, "... what are the best-selling figures?"
😊😘
thank you professor for saying what ive always believed one culture cannot define the world culture and knowledge and thats why im a proud honour of a cultural sanctuary in eastern Kenya
Phatisa Nyati (hope I spelled his name correctly) is a man with his feet planted firmly in both worlds. He is definitely rooted in Africa. Love this series. Hope it never ends.
My believe is we have millions Zeinab. African brothers/ sisters it needs our unity to restore our history and pride.
İt's always good to realize how beautiful and historically rich is our mother continent. Be aware of what we are to rebuild what we lost.
Zeinab you are too much great job and Excellent work big hug from senegal
Thank you Zeinab...great episode...
I love Africans a little things make them so happy and smiles .happiness is not about money.happiness is about how to control your self- be proud and kindness.and love you fallow humans and Nature.i love this 👍
Yeah, that's why Africa was/is being ravaged by civil war. They're much happier than anyone else.
I'll say it for you: "They didn't know war until the white man came!". Typical response, for sure. Even here in North America. But it's bs. You folks like to romanticize about things foreign to you, but I think most people are a bit too fortunate to understand just how fortunate you are to not have to live their reality....
I am impressed by the scientist’s analysis of the Rain Dance. His conclusion, even from a scientific viewpoint, is that no one scientific culture is totally capable of explaining nature and its diverse phenomena.
He strictly advises that no particular culture should arrogate superiority to itself in this endeavour. Nature is too diverse and complex to be understood and interpreted by only one culture, however tempting.
Against the backdrop of scientific mindset, he maintains that there’s something to be gained from the singing (ululating), chanting, dancing, visual arts etc of African culture, which also represents its unique documentation.
That’s coming from a science teacher with extensive knowledge and experience!
A very educational and informative series. It shows up the awesomeness of Africa.
42:40 - 43:57 Perfectly said Sir!!!
Cosmos ...
Just came about your text at the same time it was being said.. really‼️👋🏾🇹🇹♥️ i have to write it down. So profound 🤔📝
@@marset.designsplus3813
Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, 1962.
he says he is ''grateful'' for science but in the same time western culture is wrong. Being grateful is not enough im afraid :( Paying for it it is. In the process of making science you add...some characteristics of your culture, some changings are being made. GRATEFUL is not ENOUGH my good sir. You cant cherry pick on behalf of my ancestors struggles
I WONDER if he will going to understand WESTERN culture in the first place
Such an amazing and educational series! The Maasai are such beautiful looking people
Great!. Fantastic to have a series dedicated to this theme of Mother Africa. To know who you are is to know who you were and where you came from. Still looking with a western bias is something to be wherry about. Great music sound bites! Didier Recloux?
Live with people from different parts of the world be happy.
Zeinab Badawi got a great sense of humor.
15:00 what Prof. is trying to tell you is that African pastoral societies charted the first hierarchical systems that would ultimately lead to hereditary leadership in all societies (i.e., Chiefdoms, Kingdoms etc.)
If only we can have many of Zeinab Badawi to keep teaching us African history. Great job.
Proud of you Ms. Badawi.

Thank you for giving a fresh perspective on African history! Htp🌞
Brilliant start to appreciate the facts of African history and culture. This series should be taught in school well done Zeinab good presentation.
Immediately. Such a great documentary

Much respect to Mr. Nyathi, such a learned and spiritual gentleman with a well-founded views and the understanding of the world's complexity.
I'm watching this in order . Thank you Zainb @BBC .
I'm incited to have come across this importance African history documented by our beloved sister Zeinab.my oath is that, I'm watching all the 21 episodes.so elated.
Thank you very much, Zainab for bringing telling us our history
Thanks Zeinab and BBC ..............in lock-down and with bags of time on my hands i managed to watch a lot of Movies and documentaries but I enjoy this series more because its is a real life story not a myth.
Thank you very much for the great show, I am one decent of the thousands brought to America’s, Afro Brazilian!
Mr Nyathi is a Teacher not a professor but very impressive in eloquence of historical wealth and knowledge 🙏🙏👌👌
The man is very honest very pioure , we should ‘it’s depends on the masters and reflected reasons and learning lessons to be able to helpings our selves, instead we haved every things in our MOTHERS LAND, we need to know and weaknesses and helping our community’s,🙏🏾🌟🌍
The man described the rain dance I felt every bit of it. Great people like him exist in all of Africa
The Science is not a cultural phenomena. And it did not started in Europe either. Science has it's roots in all over the world, including China, India, middle east, and in Africa as well. So, I'd say that man was wrong in that sense.
Love learning about Africa
God bless Africa

africa is so beautiful and the people are so loving and kind. i hope to one day visit the continent
I have learned so much about the mother land and my African ancestors I am 🇯🇲
respect sis 🇯🇲
Anytime I see a documentary on rural Africa I somehow have recollections of my early childhood in Dominica.
So cool🇩🇲
amazing how zeinab did the whole episode in the same pants and shirt
iceplay18 I think she bought several sets of the same combo. She wanted to be uniformed.
SUZANNE OWUSU seriously 13 episodes in the same shirt and pants.. she probably did the same with the underwear
iceplay18 seriously otherwise they would have looked worn out as she progressed.😃😃
SUZANNE OWUSU i cant tell for sure , i would unless i go through them with a fine tooth comb, this should be investigated further 😜😂
Extremely interesting. The book mentioned in the opening part of this film is probably very expensive. Thank you Ms Badawi for anchoring your presentation wth academic expert mention.
Thank you so much for this wealth of information.
Thanks a lot for teaching the world about African History.
This what I have been looking for

my 2nd time through these series.
The Masai are so fascinating
Ms. Badawi is such a great interviewer- she’s so natural and tries to use humor to put others at ease. For those of the commentators who seem to be outraged by the way she is dressed ... with “bling” and makeup. It’s a simple necklace and she’s only wearing some lipstick and possibly some blush ... big deal. This is who she is ...are we to expect that she dress like the people she’s interviewing? Don’t be ignorant. There are ALWAYS people with problems for every solution ... they will always find something to criticize. Anyway, superb series ... thanks Beth much to Ms.Badawi & the BBC.
So glad that this exists. Thank you.
Nice watching people from my country Zimbabwe. Thanks Zeinab😊
Thanks for the series 👍 love it
we as Africans need to give African names to our rivers, falls, lakes and mountains.....
Lilliane Nyakaisiki they have and do. Go to the tribes near those land,arks and they will refer to it with their local names that have been used for generations. It’s just that colonial powers gav them additional names in their colonial languages, which is still used...
All the kindness, respect and appreciation Zainab Mohammed Khair Al-Badawi is a world-class media outfit capable and distinguished. She loved the profession from her great media father, Mohammed Khair Al-Badawi, and he is one of the first Sudanese who worked on the BBC and she is an authentic and zealous Sudanese who presented Sudan’s history to the world in an attractive and wonderful way in a series The episodes of the history of Africa (the Kingdom of Kush) and continues to give a fortune to serve its country of origin, Sudan ..... You have love and praise
Hello Zainab Badawi,
I like your eloquent presentation of Africa History but in this episode 2 devoted to cattle and pastoral life of Africans, you cannot finish it without talking about Denka/Dinka/Nuer/Naath's cattle and/Nilotic(named after River Nile) of South Sudan. I am aware that you are our sister from the Sudan/South Sudan/Kush. So, Nilotic dependence on their cattle. I am also aware you presented this in Nubian and their cattle but you missed cattle from South Sudan, I don't know if this intentional or mistake based on your fierce interview with Dr. Garang de Mabior in 1990s/2000s given his version Africa History as he also quoted Africa History vol 1-7 by UNESCO. Thanks
Mr. Nyathi is on point 😊. Much respect to him 😊
UNESCO has done a great job despite not been fan of BBC,the history not completed but the remain will remains classify its better this way.
Thank you so much for your great work that you're doing without you I wouldn't have found out so much about Africa history it's amazing and fascinating makes me very happy thanks again 🙏♥️🇯🇲
I admire Zeinabus journa,lism prowess for years and its my wish to visit many african countries before i grow old
The more I watch the first two episodes, the more I am blown away by the brilliance of this BBC journalist. This is such a new discipline. Thank you and Badawi. Forgive spelling error in your name.
Wonderful docu series
Am also watching and learning Africa history, thank you 🙏🏼 very much.BBC is indeed doing a great job 👍👍👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼
Imagine hidden things that are going to come out in the future, mind blowing things guys.
I don't see there is much of difference in agriculture between African and Indian..
Afterall we India are Africa descents..😍
Mwalimu(teacher) Phatisa is a Gem.
I ve enjoyed your history doc about Africa. A job well done.
The rain dance is manifesting the rain...it's the hope and prayer that each one of us has when we want something. I believe that is possible :)
I LOVE AFRICAN PEOPLE.
We are Africans but different peoples. We are people of African origin but from different ethnic groups. Africa is not a country.
I have learned so much in these Documentary
second person to comment.i just love this bbc african documentaries.

Love this series, but sister Zeinab, you should take brother Phatisa Nyathi with you everywhere you go. I could listen to him all day everyday.
Thank you for all the hard work I appreciate it
Great work, we really appreciate it. Thank you.
What the elder is saying at the end of the video is very deep and there's truth to it.
i agree
Thank ya all i learning so much i like more thank ya god bless ya it so nice to know history channel and pbs and frontline timeline it very good to know
"Africa did not write. But this is not to say Africa did not document."
What he said at the end!
Dube is not just in Ndebele, it is in most if not all of the Nguni languages which stem from the KZN/Eastern Cape/Drakensberg region of South Africa. The second wife is so beautiful. That family can do to learn or be trained in better farming methods that are more sustainable and economical.
