His research identifies that Kikongo people went into their Soul to find Self or ancestor Gods is correct. Those of us today that practice New World Kikongo practices go within and find our Self and, or ancestor Gods. Thank you for your research!

Bakongo* people :) Kikongo is the language

I am 20 mins in. And I appreciate the maturity of the information on the topic.

I’m really disappointed in Gates. He does everything in his power here to trivialize Barbara Ruiz’s extremely valid points.

They aren’t valid

Kikongo has a large influence in the Americas that can also be seen by the Palenque of Colombia a lot of words they use is derived from Kikongo/ Loango Kingdom ....as a Congolese i can recognise similar words

Thornton's first book was an amazing accomplishment of research and interpretation. 15:30 onward is where you get some of that stuff.

Has anyone mentioned the book Recreating Africa? Its an amazing book on this topic of African religion, and its transfer and evolution in the Americas.

Saving this for a long car ride, thanx

Thank you ❤

Africans can never be anything but one the Creator created them to be because who they are is written in their DNA. We can fool ourselves to believe that we are Christian, Muslim or whatever, but that is only superficial because we also believe and practice what is in our DNA. Our delusion that we are something other than what we are is what has destroyed us as a people. The Kingdom of Kongo was a great power until they started following a god their ancestors knew nothing about. Now look at Kongo. When you accept someone else's god and customs, you have given away who and what you are, thereby rendering yourself their slave.

Taa Kora moved from Denkyira to some Asante provinces, I believe.The Akan had mobile deities.

I'd posit that the public forms of religions would have more room for quick shifts/evolution than those of the initiated underground systems.

Mr Barbaro nailed this John, I don't think John is telling any truth about the Kongo.

Greetings out there, interesting talk .... really appreciated ...at 1:32:47 , Yes in my language it's YESU sounds YEZU, ISSA or ISA as YEZU his name to the other side (Arabic) But to my side ISA sounds IZA means come and if u read the Bible prophecy indeed you will find it... YEZU is the one who came from or send to Us from YAh (Yahweh) and there u get that, example The one in my language is YANDI or to emphasize it should be YANDI'NA so like to say Come Jesus = IZA YEZU that can be use by calling someone near to you or to come toward you, IZA or KWISA, KWIZA hope that will help the IZA in arabic simple help us to bring that line of the One who came etc... or the one (Who's) sent .... any way my language can't be translated directly as what am trying to do....thnx

Doesn't it matter what his name is, Catholism in Kongo justified slavery. In what is today Angola in 17th century people either had to accept Catholism or Portuguese vasal or or were subjected to slavery. 5.5 millions enslaved people were taking from what use to be kingdom of Kongo.

Have you ever heard of the black Christ Simão Gonçalves Toco who came from 1918 to current and did every to inform the Savior in scripture did? He raised the dead, healed the sick, the blind, the deaf, and was cut up and He was continuously brought back. He is still alive! He is the black Christ of scripture, and we must repent and keep the commandments, as we are in the end times people! Mathew 19:17 john 12:50 1 john 2:3-5 John 8:54-55 John 8:47
