A timeline of Ancient African History:
I remember seeing a documentary on ancient Zimbabwe manybyears ago. The narrator said "no one knows who built this". How about the people who live there?
They are called Vakalanga or Kalanga.
@@vtecnegro85 nope
@@cunisrufus6690 then why is it that the punu have the same totem from Zimbabwe? And Mwene Mutapa in which Mwene is a title used by kings of Kongo Kingdom. Mwene Kongo or Mani Kongo.
@@vtecnegro85 we call that Munhu Mutapa
Former Martian it’s actually Karanga with R not L, although r and l are interchangeable in various Southern and eastern African languages, the Shona technically do not have L in their language although modern words now accommodate this.
There was a writing system it is just not how you would think of it in the western sense. Zulu people used beadwork as a form of communication, that is very intricate detailing a lot of things. There is detailed ethnographic work by the incoming english. It was a variant of a common form of communication in southern africa
Sounds similar to the incan form of communication which used knots
Zulu love letters
@@vivirilityana7979 yes Zulu love letter you are sport on. I also learned that it goes way beyond that.
Yep I also suspect the intricate Ndebele ‘artwork’ for a lack of a better word is also a lost language system?
i love this thread
Ndebele house paintings can be read the shapes and symbols tell stories and clan praises, this is passed from Mother to child, and the females would usually be the writers, Esther Mahlangu is a popular artist that uses this form
That’s what I thought when I saw the Ndebele paintings.
you serious!?! Been living in SA all my life and I'm only finding this out now? Man, I need to travel around this country and continent a lot more.
Exactly, and those shapes are not to far off the shapes in the Zulu beadwork. But distance has changed our languages a bit. After all Ndebele, Zulu, Swati, Xhosa, Bhaca, Gcaleka, Mfengu, Mpondo, Mpondomise, Hlubi, Phuti, and Thembu peoples are all children of the same father and language.
it's called Ditema/ Litema.the Ndebele learned it from the Batswana on their arrival in the Transvaal from Zululand. It's associated with the Ndebele because they refused to let go of the essence of their Africanness, unlike most Batswana who were quick to embrace Christianity after being the second group to lose most of their lands (After the Khoikhoi). The artform is still alive in many rural areas of Botswana, North West, Free State and Lesotho, displayed in public but its meanings shrouded in secrecy.
@@aobakwematshidiso5438 wait i thought ditema was Zulu or can it be used by all of us?
Very informative. We must tell our own story and stop letting the people who hate our guts tell our story.
Exactly
Truth!
1million thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
Wypipo don't hate you bro, wrll maybe some. Most just want y'all to stop doing like half the k1llings which you should too since that's mostly B on B. Also might help if you wasn't k1lling dem 2x as much as they k1lling you JS
I'll give you a lil thought experiment, walk around yte neighborhood, what's gonna happen to ya? Send a yte dude not looking to cop to the blk neighborhood, what's gonna happen to him? Be honest
Imagine the possibilities if their was uninterrupted progress into the 21st century. Damn smh
The remnants of Khemet show what happens when Afrikan Progress is uninterrupted.
Great Zimbabwe would've dominated southern Africa and probably beat the Dutch and Portuguese
If they actually stopped getting conquered or obliterated or subjugated in the first place
@@ronjayrose9706 wishful thinking.
@@jeremyacton4569 This is a space for african greatness/worldview he's not far fetched.
I visited Great Zimbabwe in February this year. One of the best trips I have ever made. Colonizers looted so much gold and artifacts from the site and destroyed so much in the process. They had the audacity to claim the indigenous people couldn’t have built the monument. Wouldn’t be surprised if they intentionally destroyed any evidence that the Shona had some writing system prior colonialism.
I’m thinking the same thing. It is a known fact that the European “archaeologists” destroyed nearly all of Great Zimbabwe’s historical layers as they tried to prove that the structure was not of African origin.
In a documentary about Southern Africa they said that a lot of the ancient gold items found in the area was hidden by the South African apartheid regime, and as far as I know they have still not been put on display for a bigger audience? At least I did not see any pictures of them when I visited Great Zimbabwe 25 years ago.
I don't know that anyone was intentionally trying to destroy archeological artifacts from great Zimbabwe. It was abandoned when Europeans first came across it. What was notable was that there is no parallel of the architecture from before or after great Zimbabwe in that area. Therefore speculation was that it was built by a new colonizing civilisation, possibly phoenician or Egyptian. I dont know that that has been confirmed.
@@mikhem1962 You are quite uninformed.
1. Even though Great Zimbabwe had not a large population when Europeans where taken there by the natives, there where still Karanga people living within the city. The populations living there where displaced during colonialism.
2. Similar ruins to Great Zimbabwe are found all over Zimbabwe, some parts of Mozambique and South Africa. Search Khami, Danongombe, Manyikeni, Naletale or Mapungupwe, to give a few.
3. There is absolutely no evidence that Phoenicians, Egyptians or any other foreign civilization built these structures. The oldest artifacts founds are carbon dated to be of around the 10th century and are identified to be Shona. The type of architecture does not correspond to any of the proposed foreign civilization and is specifically unique, with no straight borders, for example. There is also no written account of these ruins from any literate civilization before the Portuguese, in the 15th century. The technology used to build the structure and maintain the society correspond to a Late Iron Age. The Shona also continued with the same rock wall building tradition way into the 19th century, when British colonists where around, and continue to this day. Research Rozvi, Butua and Torwa states, which continued the tradition throught the 16, 17, 18 and 19 centuries.
@@alejandropascual5535 , thank you, plenty of interesting reading. In my defence I did say that I wasn’t sure it had been confirmed. I was taught at school in the 70s (in Zimbabwe) that the origin was unknown. There is a lot of poorly researched history of Africa.
@@mikhem1962 the Shona were still occupied in the enclosure when the british first arrived as traders before they conquered the region... and of course you were taught history to down play the Shona and their contribution to civilization. You must know one thing about your ancestors... You cannot praise someone you intend to exploit. Shonas do practice stone masonry even today.
Africans had very ingenious diverse ways of communication and writing scripts.
@AutoDriver4000 oh look, a punk white boy anime lover obsessed with us
@AutoDriver4000 YES THEY HAVE
AutoDriver4000 proof or just racism?
That was most of the world. Racist 1900 academics discarded Africa and much of the Americas on purpose.
The negation of Andean Topacu is an example.
In Southeast Asia they tried to do the same but the Chinese, Soviets and Japanese didn't allow this so it was just not talked about extensively.
The second paragraph gives a hint to what the Former second world may have in their libraries.
You forgot to mention the great Sun Dial/Calender found near the Tungela river in South Africa. It has inscriptions explaining the meaning of each time cycle of the sun and moon and inscriptions of what is believed to be brief descriptions of every day of the year. This stone calender pre dates Stone Henge by 1,000 years.
How did they date it since stone can not be dated ?
@@I_am_Diogenes I dont know. I looked up and found several ways of doing this such as mineral formation, but I dont know what method was used on this calender. Hey, maybe they looked at the calender !
I tried looking it up but couldn’t find anything, would you mind sending a link?
Thank you for bringing Africa history to African people🇹🇹
I'm Zimbabwean and I didn't even know this. How much of our history don't we know? 🤔
Is it true that many school books on African history comes from European countries? They are probably telling their own history instead of yours.
You'd be shocked! I'm literally learning about it at my big age and I'm floored every time!
@AXEL The next Stan Lee At least you actually learnt about that, especially that early. My own family was part of Mapungubwe and I didn't discover it until I searched the internet about it in my 30s!
Surely there's a lot of history you don't know. Unfortunately, without a written record there will never be anything of substance that will fill that void. Simply making up your own history will not fill that void either. Which has become the most recent effort in discovering African history.
The Boer colonisers and their Rhodesian government suppressed all this information. I even watched a documentary where they were acting like they had no clue who built the ruins of great Zimbabwe, like it wasn’t the Shona tribes.
In the province of Mpumalanga in S.A. There’s exists a calendar made of stone almost identical to the one found in nabta playa. It also lies on the same longitudinal line. Coincidence? Credo Mutwa and David Icke had a documentary years ago covering this ‘new’ discovery.
Where in mpumalanga, i might visit?
David Icke the lizard people guy?
No matter what you think of David Icke (I don't even know who he is) the structures are real and stand to this day. They're not just stone structures like Stonehenge,but nearby theres also remains of stone built village/town and stone terraces,showing advanced agriculture. Theres actually a professor from Wits University who wrote a book about these structures. You might wanna google
@@awesomewilsononline225 It is near Waterval Boven.
@@thulimalebane6911 that dude claimed it was built by aliens as well
Why is it some people won't aknowledge that Egypt is in Africa 🤦🏾♀️🤣
🤔ok
Isn't one big reason Egypt has been associated more with the Mediterranean and middle east is because the Egyptians had more contacts with those areas?
The ancient Egyptians aren't known to have had any known contacts with people south of Egypt beyond the Nubian peoples.
I haven't seen no evidence of the Egyptians having had contacts with west,central and southern Africans.
@Eric 23 exactly my point.
CrowdPleeza my great grand father has family in South Egypt. They look like your classic “African”. Just cos y’all normalize Africans as looking a certain way, doesn’t mean we are the most diverse group on earth in terms of phenotypes.
CrowdPleeza you do know that there’s more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt right..
The ruins of the oldest civilization is in South Africa. Also the oldest calendar is in South Africa called the Adam's Calendar. Even more you can find the oldest depiction of the Ankh and Heru. Math also originated in South Africa, the Labemba.
Yes lets remember that borders are recent Mapungubwe and a lot stone structures in Mozambique, northern parts of South Africa, a few in Botswana are a part of Great Zimbabwe Dzimbadzemabwe
@PHARAOH .BRAD Wow
This is true.
It is from Southern Afrika that Astronomy and Math transferred to the Nile River Valley.
@Daughter of Yah HalleluYAH
That's a lot of nonsense invented by people who want to believe space aliens founded human civilization. Those ruins and calendar are more like 500 years old.
Greco/Romans and the early Europeans that visited Africa were more truthful and honest about what they saw. In my opinion, these guys weren’t weak minded. They respected others and recorded their experience with all honesty. This is in contrast to many European descent today; their main goal is to distort or blemish whatever doesn’t promote white supremacy. It is sad that we still have to go all out to prove the relationship between Egypt and other parts of Africa, when all evidence proves that the ancient Egyptians were core and indigenous Africans, (all descendants of Ham). This effort we put, shows how deep the deception of Eurocentrics regarding the achievements of Kemet (the land of black people), or black people is. This deception made waves through lies, blemishing and distortion of facts (archeological, historical, scientific, logic). It’s a honor having you undo these lies by unveiling the truth. Our history should be written and should be told by us. You’re doing a great job. Every true and indigenous African should support this channel. Thumbs up brother.
Mari Jata it’s a modern sickness. The more one feels weak and inferior, the more they promote racist ideologies. Hate comes from either wrong doing or envy, in this case it is envy and it bred and breeds racism. Yes Greek historians exlusively said ancient Egyptians were black, had wooly hair, had thick lips, and originated from Ethiopia (ie Africa interior). Even the Bible said Mizraim (Egypt) was a son of Ham.
Shem was light skin to dark skin.
Who destroyed the library in Alexandria Egypt?
Indigo Sky they think we’re devils or animals lol
Europeans never had a “weak mindset” or did what they did out of fear of you. Its pretty simple really. Europeans dominated the entire globe by the 19th century. Of course they are gonna develop a superiority complex. Everybody has the same mindset. Its ironic because you try to take white superemacy and twist it around to support black supremacy.
I remember when my mom use to say “ that she’ll knock me to Timbuktu” now I know the meaning of the saying now, that’s where all the worlds knowledge is!
The Ancient Egyptians never ever sperated themself from the rest of the Africans on the continent because they knew they were Africans
“Africa” was not in existence in ancient times
1219monique no continent was
@@1219monique what's your point
Africa was named after an European a couple of centuries ago which means Africa didn't exist at that time 😂🤣😁

Just want to thank you for your channel. As a middle-aged white american, I am on a quest to learn the true histories that our systemically racists schooling failed to teach. I am appalled at the lack of, or misinformation of African culture and history. This channel is helping me o become more informed. Thank you!
Most content on UA-cam is a distraction. This is engaging content delivered with oratory skills to match. Keep up the good work✊🏿
J H I don't agree yt gives u what u want
I am a Shona person,very proud of our Ancient History that had been whitewashed by Colonizers. They tried disputing the fact that it was Shona people who built the Great Enclosure. They claimed David Livingstone discovered Victoria Falls,yet it was Locals who took him to the location. Thank God the veil is coming off and the truth is out.I love this channel.
Victoria falls should be renamed
@@GlobalSouthObserver we call it Mapopoma
Exactly, we know our ancestors built the great stone enclosures spread around Southern Africa. Shona’s were well known for creating intricate things in Stone and gold from buildings, sculptures, jewellery etc before all this colonisation drama started. Even today there is still a remnant of this craft left. Please don’t believe the constant stream of disinformation promoted by those who want to confuse us or hate us..
It’s funny, because Africans have far more indigenous written scripts than Europeans. English isn’t even a Indo-European script.
What evidence do you have to support this
What??
@Adrian Bradey greek and latin to start
@Adrian Bradey hmmm...still waiting on BD on the Indo-euro texts. Nothing yet...
@Adrian Bradey the phoenician writing system is very different from ancient Egyptian, it's closer to Babylon or Persia

@Mister No Name You might want to pick up a dictionary and find out for yourself.
@@ronjayrose9706 There is nothing like race, that was European fabrication to promote supremacy . So called white people are not all the same either.

So they found ancient artifacts and immediately destroyed them?
That sounds like a lie. Most likely they took them and still have them til this day!
They hve them and replacing for their own. That's history they cant cover up. #takingcreditofothers RICHhistory
Destroy & steal is european colonists' philosophy. Not new; exploit what's useful and disgard what does not serve your selfish goals.
It was common practice for Europeans to destroy artifacts throughout Africa during their presence on the continent. In Egypt they would grind up mummies and make paint or medicines. They would deface statues and things they thought were primitive. Many cities and artifacts were destroyed or groups wiped out with the European presence.
Buckingham palace in England houses thounds and thousands of Africas stolen artefacts and they are busy selling it one by one.
Don't do that don't give me hope , because I will be extremely sad if the history of those grand artifacts were actually destroyed for good and we are none the wiser
Very interesting stuff!

Thank you for the information!
So happy I finally found an accessible source for African history!!!!
I haven't watched these in a while and the quality is amazing now? Wow
Southern Africa is the source of ancient kush and Egyptian culture, nguni culture to be specific. Hieroglyphics are mainly two languages spoken by nguni from southern africa to great laked to Sudan and Egypt are:Swahili and Nguni (xhosa, Zulu, ndebele, swati, etc). The Orion belt starts from south africa to egyptian. The nguni people speak ancient egyptian ti this day... Our ancestor came from Egypt
Our history is older than the Egyptian one we've got older pyramids than the Egyptian onse so, we are the authors of civilisation 75,000 year old pyramids
Liked and Subbed. Thank you brother.
Excellent work
Thank you for telling our story ✊🏾
I absolutely love your videos. Keep on lifting that veil! ✊

What I love about your channel is that u inform us that we did have civilization of our own and that Black history wasn't always so dark and dreary.
You really empower s with this content, knowledge is wealth.
Good video king! When you expand please include the Odu's and the Ifa religion: how it evolves and is modernized like software updates, how poetry and rhythm is used as well to enter trance.
The video is exquisite as usual. Question, do you plan to go to the continent and tell the stories from there?
Consistantly interesting videos interesting topics well done
Thank you so much for this information of things that I've never even known.👍👍👍👍🤔🤔🤔🤔☺☺☺☺.
Seeing how most of us watch this on our phones, displaying original document texts in a much larger font would be really useful.
I mention this because I have seen the tiny text on your other videos as well.
Thank you.
Also writing can completely disappear if it's recorded down on a medium that doesn't preserve well or at the very least remove most of the context of most of the text.
Thank you for this wisdom
Nsibidi, which is correctly written as Nshi-biri (Meaning written by Nshi) is an Ancient eastern Nigeria writing of the Igbos, arguably the first writing in the world, as Igbo is the first and oldest language in the world.
Nshi or Enshi is the name of the first people, the ancients Immortals of the Igbos, who never died, the first people of humanity, the pure seeds and children of Light.

The Medu Neter, Nsibidi, the Vai Script, Ge’ez and the Meroetic Script; are there any others?
Central Africa and Gahan/Mali Empire had their own (not Arabic) than Kanem had their derivative using arab script, in the east Swahili had their own language written on stone before arabic, though mostly upper class like most of the world in those times used it. Berbes had Tiffnagh, may have spelled it wrong, as well. Nubia region also had 3 writing, a proto-hieroglyphic style language that was actually older but not as completely as the Egyptian one that came later, and the southern kingdoms in the Nubia region, below Kush, had their own writing, while Kush itself has the Meroitic script you mentioned. Bagrumi later on also had it's own derivative script. Kingdom of Kongo had a simplfied script when the Portuguese came, the conversion to European Christianity (though not keeping whit jesus and changing him) whic was just named after their language Kikongo, was lost because they made a NEW Kikongo language based off portugese, so outside some tablets there's nothing left of that one.
Adlam, Vai, Mandombe, isiBheqe Sohlamvu, N'ko, Mwangwego, Ǹdèbè...plenty plenty African scripts
Timbuktu had long been a center of learning, it contained a library of ancient scrolls and texts. Unesco was working to preserve these scrolls along with experts from Africa .They contained the written records of Africa when these kingdoms were active. Mali was attacked in 2009 and the library was burned. It is not known how much of the material is left.
Thank you!!!❤
this is one great audio and video presentation regarding the hidden written languages that existed in ancient Africa. I would like to know if any library that has been discovered in these kingdoms to give us a picture of how these civilizations came and disappeared.
Home team could you please do a video lecture on the ethnographic and phylogenetic history of ancient Egypt from the pre-dynastic to the late kingdoms. From this day forward you will have my support as well as many others on your Patreon. Furthermore, may I suggest only a sample or none of it should be on UA-cam due to the time it takes to conduct such research and editing.

Hello, i am a french guy who looks to break away from my country's monolingualism. In my language list i recently added Sesotho, as i really like the culture of that people from the little i already knew. I seeked for a good chanel to learn about African history other than the colonial annoying history. Don't get me wrong, colonialism is a terrible event that needs to be learnt. However i always wanted to learn history of the African continent between the various people in Africa instead of just Europe colonising all over the place. I find it fascinating! And when i found your well documented channel that shows how rich the history of Africa is, i was really happy! So keep doing what you are doing. This is all fascinating!
Great content! I just wanna ask, is your page monetized? I'm planning to make slideshow videos with voiceover and I'm worried about monetization.
Still not convinced, where are these Hieroglyphic writings Zimbabwe today. I can't believe it until I can see it.

In most ancient cultures, writing and other forms of formal education were primarily reserved for elite government and religious leaders. And, the history of African invasion, conquest and colonization is responsible for the disappearance, distortion and suppression of ancient African scripts.

There are similarities between San rock art & hieroglyphics. I wonder if the two groups ever came into contact. San rock art is there in Zimbabwe as well as hieroglyphics writing, very interesting

a lot of africans don’t tell they’re history. i heard somalis had a written system but no one can decipher it, also in northern somali there are signs of ge’ez writing on old burial and sights but people aren’t interested and focused on our ‘pagan’ history.
