What is the song called whenever the video starts
3:43 I'm Ghanaian but I've never heard of Mali stretching to Bonoman, could you please give a source
Nice and pleased news
As much as I sincerely appreciate the amount of research that went into this, this video would have been SO MUCH better if the animation were narrated. This way you don't need to have the scroll-text intro, and the viewer doesn't have to switch their eyes constantly between the facts and the animation.
"wonderful"
Dhar tichitt begins in 2500 bce.and ghana between the 200 bce and the first century AD.the first dynasty of ghana was the awakar dynasty founded by dinga cisse and king kaya maja.the second dynasty was the cisse tounkara founded by kayamaghan cisse and the later dynasty was kante.
I think we need to speak about how certain tribes like the AKAN who were ice apart of these empires are still running thier kingship !!🤞🏿💪🏿
Nice work! Anyone ever play Age of Empires? I feel like I'm playing it when watching this.
As a Malian thank you for this video because european believe that the Ghana empire dated from 800 AD but we were told from our own historian that its over 200 BC or Older
I am not African but it hurts but morroco only did one good thing that is destroying portagease empire by killing its king in battle in 1578 AD who was increasing threat.But again morroco should not attack songhai because both are muslims and should instead built good relationship and should cooperate against invaders from Europe but this never happened sad .songhai should buy gun powder weapons from fellow muslim state like ottomans . Ottomans also give gun powder weapon to adal sultanate of somalia
Awesome: Very Dense thesis
I just wonder why the Fulbe were left out of this completely? They were the bookkeepers of the Ouagadou. Takrur isn’t mentioned…..maybe it’s time to update this video.
Thankyou this video was very helpful.
This is incredible, thank you so much for your hardwork 🙂🙂
Ghana, approx. 1000 CE is in a very different spot as Ghana, 2022
Hrllp
Excellent video, that Rome comparison was especially salient.
Definitely great
3:14 Sus empire
How to do content like these ? please i really want to know can someone direct me
Thanks so much for this.
I was rather disappointed by this one in the series. I was listening to them while doing other stuff, but could not do that with this one, as only at the very, very end was there any spoken words. 🙄
We are Global African Indigenous people!! Love and Unity is the best key for us all together!!💯 Also Giving thanks to the Great Mother's/Goddesses and Great Father's/Gods and the Ancestors and Guardians!! Saying from Snefer aka Bashiyr!!👸🏿🤴🏿
Sadly I had to dislike this video. It simply doesn't work to have a video with no voiceover in such collaborational playlist.
I would suggest talking about the events while you show them on maps.
i cant find the ghana sanhaja wars but great video!
This is a great summary of African history which upon itself is key to understanding social studies.
All in all, excellent performance!
Excellent video. Very interesting, informative and worthwhile video.
Amazing video!!!
West Africa really interesting finna check out to Dakar, Accra, Abuja and Lagos.
Hey just jumped on this video from Metatrons channel, I always say for a history nerd African history seems like that season of your favorite show thats always teased but never produced. So best believe I subscribed before I even saw any of your videos ✊ happy to find some more Africa history!!
Why is Ghana and mande separated?
Can we get a turn based game purely based on Africa, but primarily featuring Sub-Saharan Africa? Pre-Islamic and Pre-Christian?!
The three nations should’ve formed one super nation history would’ve played out a lot differently
Moroccan pashas ? Pasha is a turkish position are you sure that wasn’t algerian or tunisian deys ?
I love how this guy does African history accurately without blackwashing/blackpowering it or undermining it
When the imposter is Susu
Such a poor execution of such large information
All it took was a little Islam and everyone starts killing and enslaving each for cattle.
You should make more mapping timelapses 🙂 Are you ever going to make another one like this? And what happened to the West Africa collab with Ollie Bye?
That was DOPE!
You can even see the Akan migration pattern from ancient Ghana after it's fall. Kong pops up near that time. The Akan 1st went down to Kong, to Bondokou and finally to create Bonoman So(Bono Manso) meaning in english, "On The Bono Nation" Bono – the 1st Akan nation; Ɔman – nation; So – meaning on"
So sad video hardly a narrative
I always find it so interesting how geographies and influence of societies change. Especially when looking at this video and seeing how a civilization rises and expands and and prospers only to fracture and diminish while another takes it place and the cycle continues. The rise and fall of civilizations is always inevitable. Sometimes I really sit and wonder at how at different points of everyone's history, they were either at the top or the bottom and that even reflects today. Its so crazy to think that, for instance, Iraq as we see it today was once the great and powerful Babylon, or that the Iranians once upon a time almost ruled the world as an iteration of being Persian or that the Greeks who we credit as the fathers of modern civilization are actually looked down upon today when it comes to European hierarchy. To think that a country like Norway supersedes Greece today yet at the height of ancient Greek civilization, the people that inhabited Norway were living as tribes or clans. Or Mongolia! History is so interesting. It also makes me think about how our societies and geographies will look like 500 – 1000 years from now. For sure regional power dynamics will be different and we may not even exist within the national borders we have today if we are to go by history. Or even look the same – there may be new ethnicities even in the distant future. Thanks for reading my long musings haha!
I am so glad more channels are highlighting more civilizations throughout Africa
The way you formatted this video was excellent. At first I thought it was overwhelming keeping up with all the different events, but then I realized that's kinda the point: A LOT happened in the 2000+ years shown here. This was a living world. And that would be missed if you skimped on the detail in favor of broad strokes.
It's crazy how something like the structural racism currently being protested in the US can trace roots back to the expansion of the Sahara. The drying of the climate brought war and famine, which destabilized the large empires, which led to smaller warlords fighting each other, which allowed Europeans to exploit their conflicts for the slave trade, and so on until we reach the current era. Obviously there's a lot more than that, but it shows how much our modern environment is the sum of what has come before.
We WUZ KANGS?
