Oh Isaac Samuel's African history articles are so awesome and deep. it's funny I was literally reading this article two days ago, and the other one on the spread of the Hausa ethnic group and language was so facinating, I am so surprised about the things I'm learning in these articles. The ones on Aksum, Dahomey, Ashanti as well as the historical African Chronicles made my jaw drop. Goes to show we have beerly scratched the surface in some areas of African history alright.
Since the early days of this UA-cam channel you've always brought so much knowledge and enthusiasm to the comment section and most of the content that I show, you seem to already have some degree of knowledge about it. Have you ever considered content creation yourself?
@@FromNothing oh thank you! And ye funny enough, I'm actually saving up for the equipment. Everyone these days keeps telling me to start a channel so I'll be doing so soon can't wait hopefully I.can manage I don't know a thing about editing and stuff.
@@admirekashiri9879 Yeah those people are absolutely right. Feel free to hit me up in Discord. I could help you get started. Also all you really need is a laptop and a mic. You don't need anything fancy, that's something you can work up to. Hell you don't even need a mic even, you could just use the voice recorder app on your phone if it comes down to it.
It that true in Niger, Arabic is still widely spoken like in Chad and North Mali(Azawad region), i also hear that Northern Nigeria, Hausa ethnic region and Bornu also can speak Arabic, and Arabic school still exist in North Nigeria, unlike in Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso they replace French as lingua franca and interethnic language
One of those things that I'm kicking myself that I never thought of before. Yes, of course the Africans made maps. because Africans are people doing STUFF and would generally want to have an idea of where they are, where they're going and where things are coming from.
Another great video. So much of hausa history is reduced to the Sokoto caliphate even locally that it is refreshing to visit the period of the Habe Kings and even earlier
Nice video. If you're interested in other pre-colonial maps, the Tunumiit and Marshallese also made them, look up "Ammassalik wooden maps" and "Marshallese stick charts".
Sir, your channel deserves much more attention. Pre colonial Africa is a treasure trove and say that as a total outsider. I have personally no known post-neolithic African roots. Here is a suggestion: the Nabta Astronomical site, the oldest observatory in the world. Also, do you have any info on which constellations the peoples of the continent used or if our modern Arab-European constellation system has African roots? I ask because the Arab-European constellation system reached well below the Equator, well before the modern age of exploration. African roots of these constellations would explain that oddity.
I've come across this map in books on West African history. It's an interesting historical source, but I thought the article you're basing this video on made it out to be more important than it ever was
Hey man, could you please make a playlist on african armor? I'm hugely interested on the topic but I can barely found sources of armor to the south of Sudan...
@@ibehchikamso1359 not really because Africa, Middle East, and Southasia are starting to create civilizations. I want to know how the hunter gathers settle in Sarahara or how a few people from Ethopia creates the whole human race. Africa has the some nof the oldest ethnic groups in East africa.
@@itsbeyondme5560 ok. I misunderstood the premise of your comment because your unedited comment said "...Africa, Middle East and Southasia are starting to create civilizations". When you said "starting to", I assumed you were saying they hadn't been doing so since ancient times
After watching Ertugrul part funded by Turkish government and fight scenes choreography by American experts. A good story could be told about Hausaland, Yorubaland and Igbo Land separately. Hausa is much more than dan fodio. It goes back 19 centuries from the settlers that arrived from middle East to the visits by travellers and nomads. They had bustling economy and people rested in Caravansaries. They had Emirs and Sultans. Not much different to Saudi Arabia. One of the first descendants was said to be son of a famous arab king who lost a war in Mecca during time of Muhammad. In latter centuries attempts to move southwards and take the South west by the 19th century. Obviously repelled but the build up to that was no small feat. A deep history there.
Thanks but again, i was hoping to reach out to you privately via email, Twitter, or Discord about a potential collaboration. It can really help with the growth of your channel. Many channels involved.

@@admirekashiri9879 I hope you do. I'm pretty sure I'd subscribe.
@@admirekashiri9879 it is not a saturated field! I welcome it and will subscribe. Perhaps FN can have you on for a collab at some point?
This is one of the two main factions included in the Africa expansion for Age of Empires 3.
Not sure if anyone cares here, but I really like it ^.^
I just tried the Hausa a few day ago in aoe 3. Really like the fact that i can sell cow for wood or coin! Lol
@@Secret7Lover yeah, the added economics options really make it much more fun!
Hausa is great in age, I wish they had not nerfed them but they still kick ass.
I'm glad how AoE3 is still alive. I hope they'll add more civilizations.
eid mubarak, as a hausa boy myself i very much like learning about my history and what my people did. thanks man

Hausa history is too underrated.
Happy you uploaded again , I love watching your videos

Your channel is getting interesting with interesting topics.
Damn really love the music you add in your vids. Do you make them? You should release some, really good to listen to.
I wish I could take credit for that music but no I don't make it.
@@FromNothing ohh alright. Would love to know where the music is from tho.
It's from epidemicsound.com. I play a monthly subscription for it.
Can you make a video about African clothing before Islam and colonization
You can make video requests by supporting From Nothing on Patreon 😊
They did it with swiftness and vastness yeah
Great video brother!

I already made a video on African armor. It's called: "Did Africans Wear Armor?"
soo good🔥
Prehistoric Africa is a good topic to discuss , especially West africans
What do you call prehistoric, that is a very offensive term for the time period in question
