Thank you so much I'm really glad you've been enjoying the rather random topics I cover :P

I find it interesting how similar the reactions to the rise of Shaka and Zulu were compared to the rise the Mohawk, or Huns. Shaka made folks run, clearing out Natal and Transvaal tribal areas, making the Swazi hide near the Portuguese, and Lesotho hide in the mountains, moving others south into Xhosa and north into Zimbabwe. Then the English settle "empty" Natal and the Dutch Voortrekkers move into the "empty" Transvaal from the "persecution" of the English (who took over the Cape area) and feel justified settling the "empty" lands there..... Similarly the Mohawk made folks run in the Americas, clearing out the Ohio areas (later easily colonized by the Americans) pushing the Shawnee into Kentucky to meet Daniel Boone; and clearing much of the eastern Great Lakes, moving the Objiway/Chippawa from near New York into Wisconsin/Ontario, which pushed in turn the Sioux from Lake Superior when they got horses into their Dakota areas..... And the Huns, who were pushed by a resurgent China through Central Asia into the Ukraine, which pushed the Goths and other pagan and Arian german tribes into invading the Roman Empire, causing the fall of the west. There is a real domino effect that can sometimes be seen in history.

Hey Hilbert, I like the end of this video. When you use Dutch terms in the course of your English-spoken history tales, they sound a bit affected, probably a combination of the surrounding English which you are careful to pronounce well and the desire to have the Dutch clearly understandable in the middle of that. That makes your interaction with your father suddenly sound almost surprisingly natural. ;)

​@@historywithhilbert146 The Oriental Orthodox (Coptic, Armenian, Syriac, Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Malankara Churches) were those who rejected the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon in 451. They adhere to miaphysite Christology, where Christ's humanity and divinity are said to be united into a compound nature (*mia*, "same," *physis*, "nature"). This is in contrast to the official dyophysite Christology of the Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican Churches, where Christ has two natures, human and divine. From my understanding, the entire schism happened at first due to some misunderstandings at the Council, but only started to really grow centuries later because of politics in Byzantine Syria and Egypt. In general, there is a lot of interesting topics for future videos in religious history, tracing schisms and revivals and reformations and whatnot. I hope this helps! ❤

@@danukil7703 Well stated! Except you skipped the 3rd group of the party which the Miaphysites were reacting to - the Assyrian Church of the East, which had more of a "nestorian" Christology - where Christ had 2 separate natures, so the human side would not pollute the Godly side. (Ignoring the earlier Arians) The Assyrian church was across the Persian border from the eastern Roman miaphysite, so one reacted to the other, making both extreme to the Orthodox dyophysite view of the rest of the Roman empire. (It is hinted that a part of the reason for the Assyrian view was persecution from the Persian Sassanids, so when the Assyrians were excommunicated from the Orthodox "roman" church, they could say they were refugees from Rome and get less Sassanid persecution.) The Assyrian Church of the East went on to great success for a while, spreading across Persia into India and Central Asia, then on into China around 400AD, where they changed their name into the "Luminous Religion". They were wide spread there, having churches in every Chinese province, and moving into Japan, Korea, Indochina and Indonesia. Some have said that in the 700 ADish period they had more members than both the Orthodox and the Miaphysites, who were being invaded by pagans and Arians. The Assyrian Church shrank from later persecutions, but still Genghis Khan had one of his 4 daughters in law who was a member of the Assyrian Church, who was the mother of Kublai Khan.....there were still Assyrians in China when the Portuguese first came there, but the Portuguese Roman Catholics still considered those Assyrians "heretic Nestorians".

Interestingly enough they were brought from the north by the same Bantu-speaking groups on their southward migration. As I'll explain in my next video on the Zulu military they're highly significant and each regiment would have their own herd of cattle from which the specific colour of their shields would be drawn depending on the colour of the hides they bred together in that herd.

You'd probably need a 5 hour series on it, and then still... But that would be the case for any culture, really. This video seems to be a good starting point. peace.

was wondering when someone would get around to these guys

"Sjakie Zulu", is that what he said? :D :D :D Sounds a lot less intimidating that way. ;)

Yepp xD "Sjakie" is an informal Dutch name so of course there's a Dutch carnival song about "Sjakie Zoeloe" getting a spear for his birthday xD

Can you make a video on the Khoi and San? We (I'm coloured) have a longer history on SA and fought the Dutch for 170 years before they decided to expand out of the Cape and met their first Bantu in Africa. And how the KhoiKhoi as a people are no more because we were mixed into the slave population along with some San and became the Coloured people. We never get spoken about and get overshadowed by the Bantu tribes even though we were there first. Anyways, great channel and video.

They deserve their own video at this point because I've been covering a lot of the other historical peoples of South Africa on my channel.

From what I understand, the Khoi and San certainly were the established inhabitants before Bantu moved in. That history seems clear beyond a doubt. One thing I have a hard time wrapping my mind around though, is the claim anyone was anywhere 'first'. No offense intended. Those are almost impossible facts to establish (to my limited mind at least). Is it possible (I tend to think it is) that there were even earlier inhabitants that got just as much overshadowed, as you phrase it, by ancient history as KhoiKhoi and San have been overshadowed by modern history? So much so that, for all purposes, they were 'pushed' into oblivion? How far back (for instance) does San history, wether oral or written, reach back into a past before their (your) people were known as a specific entity? Or before they settled into he region, for that matter. I do understand these considerations apply to most all populations around the world to a certain extent but I find it specifically hard to 'decide' about these matters when it comes to the African continent, because it's ancient history would almost require tracing back it's populations to the origens of mankind itself... Any thoughts? Peace.

Have you made any video on West Africa?

Exactly do goes on about written languages linguistics and how South Africans never had written language loo

So where does the Sotho and Tswana fit in this South African picture. The Sotho live in the mountains of the Drakensberg and Tswana in the desert of the Kalahari, their languages are mutually intelligible, have some similar names, last names and clan names although they’re literally from two different countries and 600km+ apart. They’re also not physically the same as the Zulus, they’re smaller in stature and mostly lighter in complexion. Where did they come from, how and when did they get separated?

The final subjugation of the Maya by the Spanish took place until the middle 1700's. Similar reasons of the Maya adopting the Spanish way of fighting and drills. Interesting subject.

They had a "can do" attitude

While events were unfolding at the Cape, the slave trade at Delagoa Bay had been expanding since about 1810 in response to demands for labour from plantations in Brazil and on the Mascarene Islands. During the late 1820s, slave exports from the Delagoa Bay area reached several thousand a year, in advance of what proved to be an ineffective attempt to abolish the Brazilian trade in 1830. After a dip in the early 1830s, the Bay slave trade peaked in the late 1840s. The impact of the slave trade was increasing destabilization of hinterland societies as populations were forcibly removed. The Gaza, Ngoni, and other groups became surrogate slavers and joined the Portuguese soldiers in inland raiding.(www.britannica.com/place/South-Africa/The-Delagoa-Bay-slave-trade) (I think this was the catalyst)

Archeology, and oral history helps. Oral histories though somehow dramatized like a "based on a true story" movie, tend to be quite accurate, with some sagalicious embellishments. Archeology, linguistics, genetics, religion and even superstition help to kind of tie things together
