Wish you. Can teach in the USA in Los Angeles i have to remind everyone we all were A kingdom a misfortunate of fortune events made it bigger now we have A Long dynasty of Richness in 7 continents
I born and rise in Canada my mother who was born in Jamaica was told by her Grandmother Rosa that her mother, my mother great grandmother, my great great grandmother was not born in Jamaica she was born in old Kongo Kingdom. But we do not speak language because was against law to speak African language.
When Western media mention about Africa in general is always something negative but when I was 16 years old I read Canadian text book called Modern Africa which mention a rich and sophisticated civilization with advance capital city of Mbenza and king want to spread education and write letter against slavery. This makes me proud of my ancestors
@@CongoTalks243 What do you think about what happened in the USA of Trump supporters try to overthrow there government? Do you see connection of how American government in the past support many coup around the world including Africa through the CIA who supported dictatorships as long there continue to give natural wealth to the US?
It is a good information by the way... It seems like we should also start mentioning our "Luvila " it was a way we recognised each other those days, as part of my over-observing as a little boy and I came to happen to know my "Luvila " and those names mentioned are part of almost all that... So I know my "Luvila " and it helps understanding how we were and were well organised... Not as we dream of it today and alienating from our own values and so traditions... All other religions are part of their own traditions and however they evolved, we are part of the human society, why not start building our own Religion from now... And let tell our own stories... And not repeating or reciting what we are told to reciting and so...
After finding out my father's tribe came from the Kongo I've been searching for as much information as I can find and your channel has plenty of it. Thank you for that!! Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for this video! I am closer to finding my people. My family originally are from the Kongo tribe , during slavery there were brought to Haiti . I am 26 years old still trying to find out who I really am because my identity was stolen..
Theres some African that have papers on who all left. The united states do too , that why so many are in provery yet . They know the conspiracy techniques.
Slave trade in British Empire was ban in 1807 but there was English men was still kidnapped Africans to the Caribbean islands which included Jamaica for slavery. Slavery ended in Jamaica in 1838 but my great great grandmother some how was heading toward either Cuba or Brazil which slavery was going on but end up in Jamaica
There should be feature movie about the Kongo Kingdom and the Bakongo people but when was last time Hollywood made positive movie of African civilization? I did watch the Black Panther but it was African science fiction super hero movie.
Kongo was created by the Bena Kongo who returned from Egypt in the year 225 , by guide of the Kongo priest MBEMBA ZULU. They reached Mbanza Kongo in the year 625, by guide of Ne Nkulu Nsi. Mbanza Kongo was rebuild by the architect MASE MANTOKO in the year 925. The Bena Kongo had lived in Kongo before they went up North to Build the Egyptian civilization.
@@CongoTalks243 Sis! All these things are documented by Congo religious groups: Bundu dia Kongo, Eglise Kimbanguiste, Kintuadi kia Bangunza. Also look for the books: KONGO Graphics writtings by BARBARO MARTINEZ RUIZ, PALO MAYOMBE BY BABA RAUL CANIZARES
Great video! It'd be great to mention the most decisive moment of the Kingdom; i.e. the fight between Mvemba a Nzinga (christian) and his brother Mpanzu a Kitima (traditionalist) to succed their father Nzinga a Nkuwu which broke ties with Christianity in his last days by understanding the intentions behind who brought it.
Mbanza Kongo, the capital of the Kongo kingdom ( Kongo D'ia Ntotela) located in Angola is also a great sight too see the remains of what used to be a great and powerful Kingdom.
I am new on this channel. Thank you so much for this. Where can i find more information about the educational system, the political system and the economic system of the kingdom of kongo? I am also looking to learn kikongo. But that can be harder 🤣
Mbote! Another good video. I like your videos they are informative. With the knowledge and common sense that we have can we modernize the Kongo\ DRC ? Can we organize the village life, the suburban life , the rural life , and the urban life of the Kongo Congolese People . Can we organize the Congolese into a Modern and more Prosperous life? I have an idea tell me what you think. With the help of the new Congo President Felix Tshisekei the Congolese People,and the Diaspora African can we modernize and make The DRC more prosper for all Congolese? Diaspora African Americans along earn between $1.5 or $ 2 trillions dollars a year! Money is not the problem . Lack of African universal organization is the biggest problem. Lack of African universal unity is the second biggest problem. In my opinion the Kongo DRC is the place to start. Tell me what you think about my opinion.
Really good ideas you’ve got and they’re all valid! We just need cooperation and in today’s world, with easy methods of communication we can all start talking. As long as we come together for the right motives and sacrifice the “self” for the “community” at large. It is possible to make Congo a better place for all and every action counts.
Your idea is not bad, but needs to be enlarged. KONGOis equal to KONGO DIANTOTILA (ACTUAL ANGOLA, DRC AND BRAZZAVILLE) so include those as well, it’s not restricted to only DRC which is part of the kingdom
Peuples forts de l encien Royaume Kongo soyons conscients de notre royaume que nos aieux ns ont legue ,etions separes par force .Donons l,espoir a nos enfants d unifies tout les BAKONGO pour notre royaume amen.
Tu joues petit bras, c'est beaucoup plus grand que ce que tu penses, ou ce que tu sais jusqu'à aujourd'hui, il y a le Kongo Dia ntotila à l'ouest et le Kongowea à l'est, jusqu'à l'océan Indien. La grande guerrière Mwana Nkisi c'est entre le Kenya et la Tanzanie. Et si on te disait que le vrai nom de Mombasa est Mvita(c'est du Kikongo) mais aussi le Rwanda son vrai nom est Kwanda(kuanda=éloigné=élargir).L'empire Bakuba à été fondé par un guerrier du nom de Kongolo. Toute l'histoire des occidentaux avait un but , la division, sinon on serait trop grand et trop fort. Réfléchissez sur les noms suivant: Luanda, Kuanda(Rwanda), Kananga, Katanga, Tanganyika, Tanga, Mpemba, Mvita ou Nvita(Mombasa), Zulu.

Story of my life. I somehow started with episode 3. I have yet to see 1 and 2. So my question here. You mentioned what you're reading. For someone starting from scratch where would you reccomend starting? I may be heading to Kinshasa next year. I wish I could go further, like up to Isiro and to Kisangani.
Hetep, the question is can you organize tours to the villages you speak along other historical sites, particularly with a focus on precolonial ruins and art? Also please please a video on sand drawing designs of Chokwe, Tsonga, etc.

KONGO existed before 1300s. The NIMROD of the Bible, is in reality NIMI KONGO, Nim Rod is a deviation of Nimi Kongo. Kongo means Hunter so is Rod in Hebrew.
@@3rdside312 lol it is true but haters don't want to admit this yet a lot of genetics even point this out. Why is it when most bantu genetics are done it's always links higher with BaKongos than neighbouring bantu groups? We are all not generically the same remember that.
Sister if you want to teach the world about Kongo nation never forget to mention (to feature) the emblematic symbol of Kongo people from the beginning of time which is the leopard (just like Mobutu favourite hat or Zulu people war attire) . Mu-kongo(ba-kongo) word meaning is made up.of Mu+KO+NGO=the one who rule over the leopard 🐆. NGO=leopard. You can trace back the Kongo royal group(kanda) far before mbanza Kongo under the name of SEM(priests) in ancient Egypt. Everytime you see a SEM(sam-ba) in any book of Egyptology or in a museum or even in today Egypt ancient sites remember that you are looking at yourself. God bless our Kongo nation. Next time you want to educate the world about Kongo people make sure a large leopard poster will be in your background before you start talking . Matondo from Brazzaville.
This is nonsense lol Kongo simply means Hunter. Just cus NGO=Leopard and Ko=To Does not mean you have to create a new meaning..the word Kongo means hunter in kikongo languages cus we are descendants of hunters. Use your brain.
No bana murenge are rwandé who occupied the mountain of murenge so they gave them the nick name of bana murenge they are of rwandé bloodline and they don't like marrying congolese. Hmmm question mark????????? They simply want land rwanda is a small province they wish they could get a piece of our Congo but sorry Congo is for congolaise people

Sis such a great information as lumumba said “Africa will write her own history...”
Indeed! And this one will be written and told by us!! ✊🏾
I heard that great Lumumba quote from his eponymous biopic acted by Eric Ebouaney...
