Shame… shame 😂😂😂 Leave a like people. And subscribe. Mud technology is the future indeed! Our ancestors were the first ecologists. We respect nature, because we know without a good environment, us humans cannot survive. Great content mate!
I love your channel.
I need an Akhenaten video
Next video pls??
Man, i love your video...your videos have really educated me...… watch them everyday. Thank you. Keep up the Good work
Absolutely. We must support work like this!
'True genius is in simplicity.'
- Shakespeare
Let's see how many white and arabs are in here trying to tell Africans who they are and who they are not😂
Allot actually.
They like to degrade Black people as the two mentioned are cousins to each other!
❗️❗️❗️
I believe that these structures are a true sign of intelligence.
Wise statement brother
You are spot on friend, thank you for seeing through the negative and being supportive of this method and Afrika ❤
We know we are intelligent…the false narrative is not working anymore, now it is time to project this intelligence with confidence and humility
Today, these houses are called Earth Bags! They’re eco friendly, promote clean environments and are beautiful! Research them!
Using earth to build is genius
I love ancient African architecture
This is the future of the world.
Thank you.
I grew up partially in two mud houses. One thing I remember with nostalgia is that without air-conditioning our house kept us cool in the hot African sun. When freshly mopped and dried, we were delighted to simply lay on the ground. Nothing since feels as soothing as that contact with mother earth. Nothing!
I've seen earthen walls in Marrakech, Morocco. May I ask where in Africa you are from?
@@matthewpettway3864 I'm from Nigeria.
@olisa633 what part of Nigeria?
@@Your_Brother_Jon Anambra and Sokoto States. The difference though was that even the roof of the house in Sokoto was made of earth.
@@olisa633 what field of work are you in?
Amazing how ancient building materials and techniques once thought primitive are being used today to build beautiful modern structures. Many of the ancient structures were beautiful and some survived thousands of years.
Thank you for this wonderful history.
Our genius profound the wise
The things we find out from history of Africa is just unending.
Thanks again for the superb research ❤❤
The continent of Africa (the people of the continent) has always been extremely intelligent people. More will be revealed on how advanced they really were then ( before all their empires / civilizations were destroyed by European nations ) more will be discovered.
Not all of them
@@A.M.7886 Yes. All of them.
Agree. Great Channel Favicon BTW.
Just a curiosity question...
If the peoples their were so "advanced," how were the Europeans able to conquer them?
@@MH3GL😅 that's like asking if the Greeks were so intelligent and profound than why did they get invaded by Rome, it's also like asking if the Vikings were such a great warriors why did they get defeated in some battles I mean come on bro are you even from Earth at this that's the way it goes empires rise and fall get replaced annihilated the whole nine yards that's how mankind works bro or did you not know that up until now?😅
I am an Architect and I have a real appreciation for this ….very fascinating
Thanks so much Quinn
Truly genius ingenuity on the Continent of Africa .
Having what you need and your family being comfortable is so much more moral than striving for luxurious material wealth
Imagine the leap forward Afrika will take when our professionals in every industry are humble enough to look for the wisdom in our indigenous knowledge and preserve what we still have and improve on it. Innovation is key
This day will propel Africa and African descendants into fast pace progress and wealth
@@withoutHistory truly. I want to be alive to see it
So well said.
I've been following the rediscovery of earthen architecture for the past decade and this video is spot on! We Africans really need to take stock of our cultural artifacts and evaluate their contemporary usefulness. We may find that much if not most of what we were led to believe is primitive and backwards is actually far superior to those of our western contemporaries.
It’s a different cultural landscape. Africans built with natural elements because that is part of what their entire religion and philosophy was centered around.
Oman fort also made from mud, oman alone have 1000+ fort and castle, Morocco also have castle or "mud kasbah' but they made precisely. but in sub-sahara african used mud but not like in oman, arabia, persia, and morocco. Bahla fort for example is the best example of mud building
Why was it forgotten?
@@Musiclibrarian22why was what forgotten LOL if you're talkin about mud with architecture it definitely wasn't still in use
It looks like Africa is on the move!!! They are looking at the colonizers culture, and may be soon ready to revaluate their cultural ways. We are all happy for this, even those of us in the U.S.!!!! More power and peace to mother Africa!!!
I think mud homes are beautiful and Can save the Planet ❤
Yes and many are STILL living in such structures in 2023.
Definitely one of my favorite channels on UA-cam. I appreciate the content. Those conical shape buildings at the 3:13 mark are beautiful. Had no idea clay bricks lasted for 1000 years! Again, great content. Thank you.
It's so obvious that our ancestors were and are so beyond amazing! Thank you to WITHOUT HISTORY for ALL you DO to KEEP OUR ACTUAL AND FACTUAL HISTORY LIVE! You are inspiring!
The African architect Diébédo Francis Kéré has recently won a prize for his designs using mud brick and many other African innovations
Dropping the knowledge as usual 💯
Very high level content you produce. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing this knowledge
I don't know who he's talking to, I've clicked, liked, subscribed and donated. I'm in knee deep ❤
Lolol. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️ much love DD
Thank you for reminding Africans of their own techniques of which they have been made so ashamed that they turn to cement and concrete. I have been telling relatives this forever. One-room dwellings or palaces have been built from mud for centuries. The French could not handle seeing such a palace in Camerun, and I believe, chose to destroy it. I think you discussed this in a previous video. Thank you again. Not all went or is wrong in Africa. And that continent is the mother of all knowledge in my view. The rest of the world built upon and refined that ancient knowledge, if it did not destroy it.
The rest of the [Western world] actually often degraded African ancient knowledge, skills, and behaviors.
So true. The West is all about anesthetics. Look pretty on the outside, but alot of our homes are one match box away from being dust.
And nothing does the West ever build compared to anything that ever Africans ever built Africans have structures they have lasted thousands of years !European structures are lucky to have lasted a 2000 years or Less African structures have lasted More than 5000 years Even the mud ones!
True dat
This is my favorite new channel. ❤ Glad I subscribed.
Very very simply .... could anything be more creatively liberating and grounded .... than creating a dwelling from Earth's mud with one's very own hands ❤ .
It's sustainable we had it figured out. Western houses don't last long without major upkeep. When we rebuild Africa it should be for us by us. With all our designs & ignuity we can make a wakanda in no time
Imagine if the African was left alone long enough to develop and advance their technology...what would we have today...?A real Wakanda
No, Africa would still be undeveloped. When we came on shore in Africa, Africans didnt have the wheel invented yet.
Hell...they never developed a written language. U have to have a written language to become a modern civilization.
You speak of them as if they were children. African hunter/gatherer societies were around long before Europeans existed at all.
@@williambock1821 But yet they didnt develop.

Your propaganda is why we have to undo the lies spread to slander our race, ppl, and culture
So much ancient wisdom has been ignored, we don't know how far ahead we really could be!
I always thought that imperialism, colonialism, and the various "Scramble for Africa" have retarded civilization. If Africa had been left alone, the world be 2000 years more advanced, technologically, politically, economically, socially and philosophically. Sanity would have prevailed.
I love these. I watched because I love permaculture design. Mud is a great building tool but the sophistication of these really lends it to a realistic modern build.
This technology needs to have a cultural revival and to be expanded upon!.
Living in harmony and respect with nature is always best. Trying to outsmart and/or overpower nature disrespects TMH and will lead to sickness and destruction.
Wow, i can honestly say, i learned something more today. Even more proud to be Afrikan right now. Videos like these with priceless information adds to our Afrikan pride. Keep 'em coming fam.
Forever Afrikans 1❣️
Me too.
LOLOL 1:28
Pure gold.
Love mud huts. The ancient architecture is beautiful. ❤
With electricity, so expensive in Puerto Rico, very few use air conditioning. I wish the homes there were built this way.
They can be if People's switch to those building techniques they'll be okay not including during hurricane season though😅
Thanks for that majorly important informative factual & most necessary timely information 🤔 Well done🧐
🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@withoutHistorythis further proves Ancient Egyptians were black they lived in mud huts too.
Superb preservation of ancient African culture assuring sustainability
So glad u dont get discouraged by the ignorant. I ALWAYS look forward to new videos on this channel. Its a shame ignorant people spread negativity but suppose it will always happen. Anyway, another great video! Thank u so much n i look forward to the next 😊 keep doing what you're doing!
My future homes choice of construction trying to be close to zero grid dependent 👍🏾
If you do, take a picture and share with us. Would love to see it. ❤🙏🏽
ONLY WAY TO TRUE FREEDOM
SELF SUFFICIENCY AND
SELF RELIANCE
Wow. Fascinating... Really good.
We have always shown mastery of the sciences, keep working at educating the world, there is nothing new under the sun declared The son of Africa
Mastery, not just of sciences. Mastery is what we're about. We just forgot. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏿 😊
Otherwise, how were our predecessors 'god-kings'? To have a civilisation like khamit/kemet, who considered themselves to be the lowest version of truly advanced civilisations, and what it took daily, over millenia upon millenia, to create, support and maintain suggests to me that we don't have a clue today, about reality and what's possible. It's long gone, and thanks to a combination of eurocentric ideologies and our inability to go all out psycho on the cartel who control the entire low level vibration world we live in, we make it tough for ourselves.
@@niokandegeAMEN AHMEN AHMEIN
Fantastic content, i love this channel ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I would live in a mud house 😊
Thank you for all the knowledge I couldn't have imagined 🥰 but grateful
Kemet has been using sun baked clay with straw
This was wonderful. I shared it with my children and grandchildren.
What a fabulous video- pure genius! Thank you so much for bringing this information into circulation brother! I am looking to buy in Afrika and would like to buy or rent one of these structures or build in either mud or clay! I will pass on Widely, you are deserving of all the support you receive! For those trying to insult Afrika, they would do well to listen, learn and humble themselves! The future Is Afrika and they may well find themselves in the predicament outlined in the fabulous book by Maggie Gee entitled 'The Ice People' where Europeans find themselves looking to Afrika to escape freezing temperatures. We should (If we accept them) house them in... (mud huts) 😂😂
Amazing!
Return back to your culture!!! Appreciate your culture!!! Be reborn❤️💛💚✊🏾🖤
Never thought about using it, but have to give it a good now!! Always great content. Appreciate ya!!
Absolutely beautiful video!!!! Thank you!!!!
It is indeed primitive, the original and still the best
Great video as usual
The altar near the end of your video. Wow!
As a person who has studied architecture and aware of both mud brick “San Juan Capistrano as well as straw bale and timber frame construction, but your video brought a new awareness to African mud brick. One more thing, mud brick don’t have the toxic chemical residue as in stick frame homes.
Love your channel and the informative/educative contents you post. 👍🏿
African genius being acknowledged...
Absolutely Amazing 👏🏿 ❤
The soil in Africa is that hard red clay like you see in states like Alabama. It is this red clay that is best suited for making bricks. The red coloring is because of the iron in the soil. Not only does this soil have an abundance of iron but gold is known to be found in red soil.
Interesting.
These videos are balm to my soul, having been exposed to so much colonial propaganda about Africa, and knowing that it had to be false.
Thank you for compiling such wonderful history. May you be blessed with an infinite abundance of goodness. I surely will share with pride and inspiration.
Thank You @ Spectacular and Brilliant all at once! This is among the answers the Continent is looking for in the years to come with is expected population growth, the need for not just adequate housing but housing for the people of the Continent as a whole have been pushed aside, ignored and mistreated. This ancient technology will take us back to the future, and it seems to me everyone outta be able to get their portion of it, with no exceptions. Thank you for the resources listed below. Keep up the good work no matter the challenge, your reward is greater than you can know. Again Salute (144k gun) and Thank You
It's always a wonder to me why things like this would ever be considered primitive. I think it's unwise to dismiss the knowledge and intelligence of people who have learned to live optimally and in harmony with the land around them. Much of the world has been duped for far too long and has a lot of unlearn.
It was all part of the disinformation campaign against Africans in order to steal our wealth
SMART ECEOLOG!LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!
🙏🏽❤️ right back at you
@@withoutHistory Thank you sooo much for an interesting indepth of the need to build a shelter that is economical and doesn't add waste nor pollute the environment!For you set the record straight for thise small minded people who cast sarcasm what they are not aware of and what is the reason for such a structure.With that being said Thank you once again for an informative perspective of the architectural structures that what is mocked is now coming to light on its usefulness as well as its purpose.PEACE AND LOVE!!KEEP DROPPING BOMBS!!
These houses are amazing!
Now it makes sense why people sit either on the floor or near the floor. The cool air enters the building near the floor and the warm air is forced out near the ceiling. Natural air conditioning. When I saw the clay and mud brick buildings, I immediately thought that those materials could be gathered by digging a basement first to store food and water is a cool environment. The clay and dirt from the basement could be used to make bricks for building the house. I could also see origins of the earth houses that are being built in the U.S.A.
Sitting on the floor is just primitive.
God thought of everything I wouldn't something made out of mud like a house would last so long it should save people money economically
Feel this in my soul!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you
Great video! I agree that mud is the future of architecture. 1 small issue in the video: At the 6:57 mark the image is an Indus Valley reconstruction, not Benin.
I love mud or adobe buildings and am planning to build in Jamaica using earth bag construction which I discovered
Just curious how earthquake resistant are these mud constructions
People used whatever they have available for thousands years. Stones, mud,sand, straw....
In Serbia people still making full modern houses from mud and straw
Magnificent!
Thanks so much Steve. 🙏🏽. Do share
incredible! thank you!
Wow, very nice. Our Melanated ancestors "rocked." I been talking about building a mud or Cob tiny home for ages. Definitely energy efficient. How do they hold up in cold damp climates?
Very interesting. If you do, take a pic for us and share your story.
Stunningly beautiful structures and people. 😊
True dat
I think if we want to beat the west civilization we should start with our architecture, all should be build with this pattern in new way. By then they would know we're not just ordinary people we're the being of this modern stuff. We're not poor... We just have to think and value our own thing first for recreating purposes, all Africa student need this. Thanks for the publishing 👍🏽🖤💯
Mud homes! I love the concept
Thanks for sharing.
New respect. This would help greatly with claimant control.
think you so much for the wisdom and knowledge.
❤❤
Would’ve been enlightening if you listed where these structures can be found. Thank you for this work
Cameroon and Benin are famous for theirs but pretty much all over the continent you can find some.
As someone who lived in both a mud and concrete houses will experience the great difference between the mud house is much more cooler in Trinidad where I live there are two leafs to use as roof one is highly flammable The Carat leaf The Other is Timit which almost fire proof,these mud houses are exactly as you describe it.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Very,very smart and ecological ,i love the idea of building with mud. ❤
I think mud in construction of buildings is fantastic. With al those attributes you mentioned, how can we go wrong.🔥
But..but I clicked before watching. 😂
Valuable video
I've lived in stick and cement block homes in mid-US, the cost of heating and cooling is insane. Needless to say a 30 year mortgage with interest and the maintenance is also insane.
I love mud round houses.
It’s up to us to take it to new heights. We are the ancestors. Ase
Very correct!!!
No wonder, when going to our old grass thuched mud toilet during scorching sun it felt so cool that I would prolong my stay to enjoy the AC
❤❤❤❤❤
I LIKE IT!
All these 21st Century "hippie" types (I'm not hating on 'em) all laud strawbale, rammed earth, cob, earthbags, etc, but typically give preference to European historical examples, despite The Mother Continent's architecture pre-dates those cute quaint cob half-timber thatched roof English cottages.
Nothing new under the sun!!!! Great comment!💕💕
Mud constructions are the future
Remember how much attention the city of Wakanda got in black panther, but in the Woman King no one batted an eye to how great the Dahomey Kingdom was.
Definitely wouldn't say no one
@@SeanMichael-yt4ps yea but the problem was Wakanda is a fictional advanced city and people thought Africans couldn’t build anything advance the jokes racist would say if you go back to Africa we will build you Wakanda. See how Dahomey Kingdom proved how advance Africans were.
@@suprmekai5 yeah I understand what you're saying, I wouldn't really use that Kingdom that you brought up to prove African technological achievement just because of how recent that kingdom was established. That kingdom was established not too long before the transatlantic slave trade so it wouldn't even make the list of medieval let alone ancient African kingdoms, Oyo the kingdom they had beef with was definitely older and more established than Dahomey by the way.
@@SeanMichael-yt4ps well then we need a movie about the Oyo Kingdom get an idea of how advanced it was. For years they said they would make a movie about Nubia yet we are still waiting for that.
@@suprmekai5 yeah I guess that can happen I would advise writing some black directors and see if that idea goes through. Also there are loads and loads of kingdoms way older than both of these kingdoms mentioned, some are well-known some not so but yeah 💪🏽💪🏿💪🏼💪🏾
