Excellent content! Minor correction: At 0:26, you refer to "Mande" speaking. But I believe it's "Mande" people but when referring to the language, it should be "Mende".
I believe it's Wagadou, and you should at least mention that today it's often referred to as The Ghanan Empire. Even if you find the term inaccurate, disambiguation is always helpful for those who wish to learn.
Here''s an interesting thought. The legendary West African musician Salif Keita can prove that he is of the royal dynasty that goes back to Sunjata. He has referred to the equally legendary musician Mory Kante as his griot implying a subordinate caste status. The ruler of the Sosso who was overthrown at Kirina was Soumaoro Kanté. It suggests to me that Mory Kante may possibly have an illustrious pedigree himself. If so it's unfortunate that his ancestors were on the losing side.
Sundiata is one of my favorite historical figures; first discovered him in high school, where world history focused on the gold-salt trade as an example of how global trade works. In college I took an African Empires class, and since the professor specialized in the Sahel empires, we spent time on Mali as well.
“ In a trice, Sundiata was in the middle of the Sossos like a lion in the Sheepfold. The Sossos, trampled, under the hooves of his firey charger, cried out. When he turned to the right, the smiths of Soumaoro fell in their tens and when he turned to the left, his sword made heads fall as when someone shakes a tree of ripe fruit. The horsemen of Mema wrought a frightful slaughter and their long lances pierced flesh like a knife sunk into a pawpaw”-The Epic of Sundiata Keita, complied by D.T. Niane.
My name is Hassan souare. I'm of the madingo/madinka ethnic group from the Mande speaking people. Though I am a Liberian currently in the USA, I'm a direct decedent of the mali empire. Thank you for the beautiful presentation.

Does anyone know what Mandinkurufaba translates to?
I thought he was a young king he was born in 1190 so in 1236 he was 46 💀 he’s still the best African in history tho
This needs to be put in history books and taught in schools. Our people need to petition the courts so that this can be written into history books.
You and Imhotep would be an incredible colab💯🔥🔥
I just found out I’m part Malian so I’m learning my people’s history
Proud to have Mali in my blood.
what about the cloud stuff?????
the borders are a bit small , Mali and Wagadou were definitely bigger then two villages and a tree
We definitely need a movie about this
This is so perfect please make more war documentaries about African kingdoms.
Great
Mor visuals like this please. Perhaps the Battle of Mbandi Kasi next?
Wow! What an incredible story! Loved the narration and, the visuals!!🖤🖤💯✊🏿 Also, I actually really like the name, Sundjata… sounds great!✊🏿
Huh. No mention of the Mali slaver practices or the French who finally ended it…. until the French left and slavery started again.

This video was really cool. Makes me want to see the battle dramatised.
It would be really cool to see you do more battles, maybe even doing a collaboration with Da’mon stith or one of the other HAMA people.
Sumangu kanteh my mothers clan
Where is the part 2?
The quality of your video is something else,
💓💞Sundiata keita, no wonder he has diata/jata in his name which means 🦁 lion in mandinka.
Thank you bro keep up these visuals with the battles

Videos are getting better. Great content.
What happened to the Soussou tribe after they were defeated by the Mendes?
In fact Soninkes dominated Mandinkas , berbers , fulanis and more . Sumanguru Kante was himself a Soninke from the Diarisso clan .
