    I congratulate and appreciate you for your focus on West Afrikan history. Everyone only wants to focus on Kemet when there are much older civilizations in West, Central and South Afrika. I loved what you said at the end bro! Thank you and keep up the great work! The ancestors are with you.

    You're right that Western Africans have their origins in Eastern Africa, more specifically Ethiopia. If life started in Ethiopia then it should be no surprise that all of humanity has their origins in that region. I think that explains why many Ethiopians are mistaken for plethora of ethnicity's. When you pass for many cultures you eventually have to ask, did all those cultures come from you. Welcome back. I hope you can do a video on traditional African clothing. As you know white supremacist love to claim we were walking around naked before the "white man" brought us cloths. I truly believe Africans have the most majestic clothes and designs i have ever seen, and i have seen a lot of traditional clothes from around the world.

    I know this video is old, but I had to leave a comment. I work at a museum in Jackson, MS that has an exhibition called “The Legacy of Timbuktu: Wonders of The Written Word.” We educate guests on Mansa Musa, the great West African empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai, as well as the literate culture of West Africa. We have 40 ancient manuscripts on display highlighting this culture. We are partnered with Sheik Abdel Kader Haidara and the Mama Haidara Library in Timbuktu. Abdel Kader has recovered over a million manuscripts throughout Mali over the past 20 years, that were hidden in the desert to keep French colonizers from stealing or destroying them. We also talk about Omar Ibn Said and Ibrahim Abdur-Rahman, who was enslaved in Natchez, MS. If you were to visit Natchez, they can take you to the land where he was enslaved. The plantation is no longer there. His descendants are still living in Natchez, today. If you’re ever in Jackson, MS, let me know and I would love to give you a tour, as well as learning some things from you.

    Contrary to popular beliefs, slaves who were brought to America were professionals in different disciplines i.e. Lawyers, doctors, engineers, draftsmen, seafarers architects etc. That’s the reason why they were able to build the White House and even design Washington DC. These slaves were never sold by their fellow Africans; rather were kidnapped by the Europeans with the forced help of the Africans

Mali had gold, Senegal..etc.. the people from Iberian peninsula came first as traders and place to for salt to preserve meat. SALT and Rice was king. These along with gold are some of the reasons Mansa was wealthy. While the Portuguese were trading they intermarried Africa kings daughters when land was found in the America's and they needed workers, Pope gave an idict to enslave black people because " we had no souls" ... so we had those children loyal to their mother's vs those loyal their father, which ended up Africa selling Africans narrative but it was more complex than taught

    Wow, I love you and your work. I'm a Scotland based Ghanaian. Guans are evenly distributed across the whole of West Africa, mostly settling on highlands, the coast, and banks of rivers. They are not warrior and fought no war, though they looked physically built for war. Their strength was usually channeled into farming and working on the fields. It's believed that their origin is from the Southwest Sudan (Nubians). Most West African cultures were influenced by them, yet one hardly hear about these people. It's even believed that a Giant (called Aseibu Amanfi) lived among a Guan group serving as their protector. Do you know anything about these people?

    If Sonni Ali was still the emperor during the attack of Morocco, IMHO Songhai would not have fallen. Askia Ishaq 2 was incompetent, he knew they were coming and didn't take any serious actions against stopping them. One of the tactics was to fill in the wells so that there soldiers would die in the desert. But instead of actually committing to doing it, he sent message to the disloyal tuaregs to fill in the wells. Then he fled like a coward.

    i agree with with u. however not only jamaica. if u know the history of the Gold COast (present day Ghana and western Ivory coast) and know the series of european powers that occupied the area in succession, you would know more about the destination of captives from there. The Danes, Dutch, the British "owned" the Gold Coast region in succession. For this captives from there were typically taken to the Virgin Islands (formally owned by the Danes now controlled by the British and the US), Suriname, Guyana (Dutch and british respectivley), jamiaca, Antigua (british). the first Black slaves brought to the state of New York at the time it was owned by the dutch also came from the gold Coast region. at the African burial ground in downtown Manhattan, archaeologists have proven this to be true.

    In countries like the Bahamas, the vast majority of the slaves were African living in the USA. They went to the Bahamas after the American revolution. They were brought by the loyalist. The Bahamas was 50% white and 50% black but the loyalist brought so much slaves with them blacks became the vast majority. These people came mostly from Georgia and South Carolina. And they tell the stories of bouki and rabbi. Or the hyena and hare stories. Bouki means hyena in wolof. When Jamaicans started immigrating to the Bahamas they brought the tales of the spider stories from Ghana.

    that's pretty complex but ultimately we sometimes don't believe in our own agency so we have a tendency to value the goods and services that other people provide instead of creating our own. Chinese don't do that

    Wagadu (Soninke Ghana) Empire started slavery in West Africa. This structural social organization is divided in three levels. The first class are the ″Hooro″, the free men. They have the highest social rank. The Hooro are the rulers, they have the right to punish and dispense justice. The first class in the “Hooro” are the “tunkalemmu”, the princes. They exercise authority. Only a tunkalemmu” can become king. It's an inherited position. The next class after the princes, “tunnkalemmu”, are the “mangu”. The “mangu” are the advisors of the princes. They are their confidants. They act as mediators in conflicts between different classes of “Hooro” or free man. The “mangu” originate from the “kuralemme”, warrior class. In times of war the Mangu become heads of the army. The last class of the “hooro”, free man is the “modinu”, the priest. Their origin is from the influence of Islam in Soninke society. They dispense justice, and educate the population. They teach them Islam and protect them with prayers. They are very respected for their religious knowledge. The second level of the Soninke organization is the “naxamala” which is also divided in many other classes. The “naxamala” are the dependent men. The “tago” or blacksmiths occupy the highest position. They make weapons and work tools. They also make jewelry. They are respected for their knowledge with iron. The next class after blacksmith is the carpenter, “sakko”. They are the friends of the inhabitants of the forest. They are the confidants and the masters of devils. They are important because of their skills and knowledge with wood. The next class is the praise-singer, “Jaroo”. During ceremonies they are in charge of animation, speaking, and singing. They are the most famous in the “naxamala” dependent class . They are the only ones authorized to say anything they want. They are the orators of the society. They tell the history of most important Soninke families. The last class in the “naxamala” class is the cobbler, “Garanko”. They are in charge of making leather shoes, saddles and saber sheaths. The lowest level of the Soninke social hierarchy are the slaves known as ‘komo’. The “komo”, slaves work for the masters. Their masters had to take care of them but this was not always the case. The slaves have always been the major labour force in Soninke society.

    Actually, it seems like maybe the Garamantian civilization started the selling of slaves from West Africa. It's a civilization that pre-dates Christianity. They were situated in the southwestern region of today's Libya. They seemed to have heavily relied on slave labor from Sub-Saharan Africa to work an extensive well system they used. They seemed to have sold some of these slaves to North Africa and Romans. They also mixed quite often with these slaves to the point that over time they began to be described more and more as black. Most of the mixture seems to have been done with black females rather than males, this tends to give one an idea of what was going on.

    I'm confused about one aspect of African descended people as I may have been grossly misinformed...The concept of wealth being directly attributed to gold so early...With gold and other natural resources being recognized as wealth, which segments of Africa best maintained their wealth or which countries are flourishing? It is hard to gauge and accept my own connection to Africa outside of some blood ties, when my family/friends visit or doing research on where as an American citizen of African descent I could best migrate too and feel home, it seems to not exist. As much as I watch these videos and look into a greater history to have more in my reserves than 17th century new world developments it is still hard to connect.

    The wealth of many nations have depleted over time due to multiple reasons, internal and external. I hear a lot of Afro-descended people try to connect to one region or one people and that simply makes no sense. We are largely a combination of numerous African ethnic groups. Some value their ancestral significance and some don't; there's no demand for you to connect just information that has historically been adulterated

Theses white Arabs aren't even the original pure Arabs. Anyways I know for a fact Islam did not come into West Africa by Arab warriors. It was introduced peacefully through merchants. When the West African Kings willfully accepted Islam the people followed suit. Some of the greatest black West African empires came out Islam bro. What you know Sankore, Sokoto or Timbuktu? They had Arabs from Baghdad coming to West Africa to study at their black universities and libraries. Your trippin homie, black West African Islamic empires where the shit and they were ahead of their time

At that time, Arabs were traveling all the way from Baghdad just to study at black universities in Timbuktu.

    +ladyeden0413 Last but not least. Read the book, Servants of Allah by Sylviane Diouf. It breaks down everything about the black Islamic West African empires, how Islam came into West Africa and the Arab, European slave trade. Read some books lady and stop getting your info from Wikipedia. Fyi, the original pure Arabs were black people. The white Arabs, are from the Levent and they are descended from Ishmael. White Arabs from the Levant are Arabized Arabs, they are not the original pure Arabs. The original pure Arabs as well as the Arabic language originated in Southern Yemen. Those pure Arabs were NOT descended from Ishmael. They were a black people with strong ties to the Horn of Africa. In fact all the ancient empires of Punt, Himyarite, Saba, Aksum and even Kush were on both sides of the Red Sea, 10 miles from each other, in the Horn of Africa and Yemen.

The eastern influence largely are Nilo Saharan people who likely intermixed with the ancient population of west Africa. This merge created the Niger Congo group of languages. The Hausa however speak Afro Asiatic and could have some connection to ancient Egypt.
