@Joepie De poepie Well, to be honest it doesn't say that, but if you feel guilty about it then, yes, most of it has been white mans fault. This series just covers the actual history of African people which is quite rich compared to what the white European education system has tried to teach. You seem so uncomfortable that you don't realize this is just a history and not a criticism. Your reaction seems to be unnecessary. Can't you just sit and watch a documentary series about African cultures and their history past and present without injecting your unnecessary guilt into the conversation? Because I do enjoy watching documentaries about European cultures (some have also been decimated by their own neighbours) and other indigenous cultures around the world. The world and other people are interesting, stop trying to find blame in everything and just enjoy the differences.
Zeinab Badawi is an amazing woman, and excelent professional! She's so smart, his voice is beautiful! I'm studying English using his videos, and I love her! Thank you very much!
Africa is the Motherland of all human beings . This knowledge must be taught to all people across the world in all classrooms . But since mankind is so obssesed by colour , creed , religion , and all the poisons of the mind , the maority will not realize this . This is the sadness and the madness mankind is living in . We are primitive in the mind .

You are a griot of African History. You narrate it with absolute love. Yours is a voice carried so beautifully across Africa and the Diaspora. We indeed love you Zeinab. Queen of all Africa and its descended peoples.
I have deep fallen in love with African history because of this series! You will leave legacy behind for us as Africans to know more about our ancestors and it has shaped how we see ourselves.
Dear Mrs. Zeinab.... you have made a respectable landmark to the History of Africa documenting a great civilization being the cradle of humanity. The history will always remember your documentary being as great as the African civilization.
I am a public school teacher that teaches about Post-Classical Africa. I have had to piece so much together- the Gates series on PBS is awesome as well, but this is fantastic. It goes over so much of what I teach and is just wonderfully done. I've been looking for something like this for so long now. This is wonderful. Thank you.
Excellent IQ, articulated, elegant, natural, non pretentious, proud of her origins and background ( without making any fuss about it)...And last, but not least, extremely beautiful!!
Thanks, Zeinab, for Narrating our history interestingly. I have seen many documentaries about Africa and couldn't even get much close to yours. God bless you!!!
@Joepie De poepie Actually if you are talking these civilization it's actually plenty from actually Africans. Close to a million manuscripts have been left. Lucky the native people hid the records from the invading French. Who most likely would have burned or stolen them.
@GEORGE STINNEY JR. Unfortunately most of this won't get taught in western schools and very few courses. I recommend you check out a history channel called Home Team history. Also there is a good series on DVD called Africa's Great Civilizations. Worth buying if you can find it.
@Joepie De poepie Infighting and outside invasion I would say. Failure to adapt to new threats and putting ethnic tensions aside. Knowledge is meaningless without action to implement real change. Ethnic tensions is still prevelant in many African countries. Rwanda for example have learned from this and is now developing into a very beautiful country. Countries can rise very quickly to prominence. It wasn't that long ago China was known as the sick man of Asia. Now it has re-established itself as a great power. With the right attitude I wouldn't be surprised if a place like Ethiopia for example could not do similar.
@Joepie De poepie Thank you. I'm actually from the UK. Third generation Barbadian. But I have read a lot about Africa and the African diaspora history. But you are right it is about taking responsibility. We should learn from our ancestors achievements and mistakes.

It's just funny how African are taken for granted. Three years ago a lady from Kono Sierra Leone brought me some rocks looked like glass and were hexagonal just few mm thick and about 1cm long, she stated where you find these stones is where diamond is found. She went ahead and talked of blue similar stones which fell from heaven or from space long time ago. Last year I saw documentary about it and I was like, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat" You mean that could be real!?

I love Mali and Mauritania. It is so exciting to see all the city (except Segou only) that I visited in 2011 and 2014, esp. those people whom I met are in the film.
This video is really good and it made me finally realize that Mande people literally means Mandinka people. I don't know why I have always been confused by all the different tribe names that Mande people have in West Africa, but regardless of their tribe names they are all literally Mandinka. That Mande Charter also blew my mind.

The Soninke patriarch is Yougo Dinka coming from Egypt , but he was a pure african . When he arrived in the kingdom location with 77 clans . The first ruler was Diabe Cisse . The Soninke wear the names Ceesay , Gassama , Camara , Sillah , Turay , Sissoho , Diane .
You know it's harder than it sounds to find a proper mansa musa documentary. I would love to see an hour long documentary about how he destabilized the Egyptian economy with his gifting of gold on the way to his pilgrimage to Mecca.
Henry Stanley's book depicting Africa as a dark continent to me is a work of ignorance. Africa and the Mali Empire was a federated empire with a Bill of Rights and had an Emperor, Mansa Musa, that could be considered the wealthiest person that ever lived. So one can argue that it wasn't a poor continent after all.
The term “berber" probably comes from an Egyptian term meaning "outsider" which was adopted by the ancient Greeks ("barbari") and then by Western culture ("berber") Moreover, the paternal genetic markers are definatly African (E1b1b) which originated in Eastern Africa. On the other hand however, on the berber maternal side presented Asian genetic markers (M,N,R and U6) which originated in Western and Central Asia. This arrived to Africa where apparently they met Eastern African men.
This series has taught me a lot, but it just could have been so much better. What was the point of including the audio of the woman saying "I sell traditional artefacts. I don't know much about history, but I've heard this city was beautiful"? Stuff like this has left this documentary series down, in all the episodes I've seen. It's been informative and, at times, beautifully shot but it just seems like it was filmed in too much of a hurry, without enough groundwork done to adequately present graphics, historical detail, explication of how things fit into an overarching narrative, or getting guests on with revealing things to say. Still a good place to start on learning about Africa though.

Africa and the Mali Empire was a federated empire with a Bill of Rights and had an Emperor, Mansa Musa, that could be considered the wealthiest person that ever lived. So one can argue that it wasn't a poor continent after all.
The term “berber" probably comes from an Egyptian term meaning "outsider" which was adopted by the ancient Greeks ("barbari") and then by Western culture ("berber")
Moreover, the paternal genetic markers are definatly African (E1b1b) which originated in Eastern Africa.
On the other hand however, on the berber maternal side presented Asian genetic markers (M,N,R and U6) which originated in Western and Central Asia.
This arrived to Africa where apparently they met Eastern African men.
I had to watched this for my college history class.
fantastic series!
This series has taught me a lot, but it just could have been so much better. What was the point of including the audio of the woman saying "I sell traditional artefacts. I don't know much about history, but I've heard this city was beautiful"?
Stuff like this has left this documentary series down, in all the episodes I've seen. It's been informative and, at times, beautifully shot but it just seems like it was filmed in too much of a hurry, without enough groundwork done to adequately present graphics, historical detail, explication of how things fit into an overarching narrative, or getting guests on with revealing things to say.
Still a good place to start on learning about Africa though.
