  1. Congo
    Ethiopia
    Morocco
    Zulu
    Kush
    And Mali

    I've seen stories of repeatedly when looking for European or Arabic or Indian History.

    Kush and Ethiopia in particular come up looking for anything Mesopotamian and Morocco comes up almost as frequently as Egypt when searching for Mediterranean History.

    Zulu, Kongo, and Mali tend to be referred to with the most realization that Africa has internal History independent of Europe also. Obviously Congo is physically isolated, Mali people do discuss architecture frequently in discussions of ancient buildings, and Mansa Musa was famously from that territory. And the Zulu got such a reputation as fighters from resisting the British that today they are compared to Spartans and assumed to be world class in their own right that can stand proud next to Vikings Samurai and Comanche as the greatest warriors in World History.

    Kush almost exclusively gets brought up in connection to Egypt and rarely in relation to its context with Ethiopia and Arabia.

    Nok and Ghana I have seen named on maps frequently but I have not as frequently heard stories shared about them.

  2. I guess that BLM guys should watch this ^^ Thanks for the work of compiling all this interesting info about the different parts of Africa.

  3. What a fantastic series. We don’t get taught this at school in the UK (or in other European counties I imagine). Such a rich history!

  4. There was no end of slavery.
    There is a signifcant number of Bantus keeping Pygmies as slaves today. They call it a time honored tradition.
    Mauritania essentially has an open slave trade. Laws have been introduced but are not enforced.
    There are tens of thousands of slaves in South Sudan. Slavery in diamond mines of Liberia and Sierra Leone.
    There is a sex slave trade in Ghana, Togo, and Benin. Girls are groomed for "ritual servitude", they are called "Trokosi".
    Nigerian paramilitary groups are actually raiding and kidnapping hundreds of girls to sell into slavery.

  5. You can find the slave traders by looking where Africans are, mostly America and Europe.

    Forgotten their culture, religion or where they came from.

    Because they never brought them back…

  6. The triangle slave trade to North America was probably the most insignificant slave network tethered to African in the last 3 thousand years. The Arab slave trades of the Barbary coast, Mali, Istanbul and Zanzibar did in a single year what it would take a century for the European powers to enslave and transport. Only a quarter million slaves were transported to North America from the early 1600s to mid 1800s. Meanwhile, in that same time period, Barbary pirates kidnapped 5+ million Europeans and the Ottomans enslaved tens of millions of Slavs, not even counting the absurd scale of slaves hailing from African that saw their way into Arabic markets.

  7. People went there and told the people they were coming to help and just listen to them….now you can see you have to be careful who you follow…..We all do……And the only way back up to where we used to be is with the Ten Commandments….THANK YOUUUU ALL FOR YOUR IMMENSE COURAGE….TOGETHER IN OUR HEARTSSS AND PRAYERS FOREVER 🙏 💞 ♥️

  8. This is a little misleading as During this period, 3 Igbo Kingdoms existed. The Kingdom of Nri and the Independent Igbo States did not practice slavery, and slaves from neighbouring lands would often flee to these kingdoms in order to be set free. Arochukwu, on the other hand, practiced a system of indentured servitude that was remarkably different from chattel slavery in the Americas. Eventually, Europeans began to encroach on Igbo territory, causing the kingdoms to need firearms to defend themselves. In order to obtain European goods and weaponry, Arochukwu began to raid villages of the other Igbo kingdoms. These captured slaves would be taken and sold to European slave traders on the coast. Another way people were enslaved was through the divine oracle who resided in the Cave Temple complex. During this time, if someone committed a crime, was in debt, or did something considered an "abomination" (for example, the killing of certain kinds of animals was considered an abomination due to its association with certain deities), they would be taken to the cave complex to face the oracle for sentencing. The oracle, who was influenced by the demands of European slave traders, would sentence these people to slavery. The victim would be commanded to walk further into the cave so that the spirits could "devour" them, but, in reality, they were taken to an opening on the other side and loaded directly onto a waiting boat. This boat would take them to a slave ship en route to the Americas. So it wasn’t as simple as “Africans continued the slave trade” but rather Europeans terrorized the Africans and in order to gain firearms to protect themselves they had to involve themselves in the slave trade, not to mention the fact that Europeans introduced selling humans as a commodity creating an entire economy of trading for multiple kingdoms. In fact, king Ghezo explained to the British that the entire region had become dependent on the trans-Atlantic slave trade for profit, so ending it in one day would destabilize his kingdom and lead to anarchy. King William Dappa Pepple of Bonny and Kosoko took the same stance towards the British requests. Instead, King Ghezo proposed an expansion of palm oil trade and a gradual abolishment of the slave trade

    Also king Ghezo never said “The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and the glory of their wealth…the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery” Quotes attributed to King Ghezo have been challenged, as the writers never actually visited the Kingdom of Dahomey nor did they speak to King Ghezo directly. Scholars cite this as Western propaganda.

  9. ChatGPT says this: "Muhammad Ali Pasha did not invite the Mamluks back into Egypt in the 19th century. The Mamluk Sultanate had been dissolved in the early 16th century, and the Mamluks as a ruling class had been eliminated by the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

    Muhammad Ali Pasha was appointed as the governor of Egypt by the Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century, and he later declared himself Khedive of Egypt and Sudan. He implemented many modernization and reform policies, but did not revive the Mamluk Sultanate or invite any Mamluks to Egypt. He did however, use Mamluk-style military units in his army, and trained some soldiers in the Mamluk style of fighting.

    It is known that Muhammad Ali Pasha was ruthless in his efforts to centralize power and control in Egypt and Sudan, and his actions led to the deaths of many Egyptians, Sudanese, and other people under his control."
    I guess it still needs work…

  10. Actually Jamaican 🇯🇲 people come from Pictish ( Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ) descent the Africans were actually brought over there by the Spanish not the British. The British brought the Pictish people there.
    Look at the vocabulary. A child is called a Pinckney.
    I'm not trying to take anything away from your research, you actually did some great research. That's the only little tweak I can add. Also I love your videos. I am a vivid subscriber.

  11. Being Xhosa myself, I really appreciate this video. Hearing the history of South Africa from an objective point of view really does put a lot of things into perspective.

  12. Slaves were common in Egypt , Babylon and so on them Jewish had slaves , Greek Romans . And nothing was irregular until 17-18 centuries , whaen they suddenly had discovered that slaves are also people who have rights)
