African History
Kingdom of Kush – History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 4]
In this episode Zeinab Badawi travels to the country of her birth and the very region of her forefathers and mothers: northern Sudan where she sheds light on this little-known aspect of ancient African history, the great Kingdom of Kush.
Its kings ruled for many hundreds of years and indeed in the eighth century BC they conquered and governed Egypt for the best part of 100 years. Furthermore, Kush was an African superpower. Its influence extended to the modern day Middle East.
Zeinab visits the best preserved of Sudan’s one thousand pyramids and shows how some of the ancient customs of Kush have endured to this day.

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Good to finally see more documentaries being made about these proud, confident and self determining African empires of old. There's a narrow focus on colonial history in academia especially south of the Sahara.While it's important to always remember and learn from it, the bias towards that period, overshadows the incredible and captivating history of precolonial Africa. A period that should be taught to our young to inspire them to believe that great things can be done in this continent.

One thing with me I observe things that are very subtle very well 😏 AND WHAT NOTICED (AND ITS VERY UPSETTING), IS THAT WHEN THE LADY MENTIONED THE ACTUAL CARBON-DATED EVIDENCE OF THOSE POTTERY BEING AT 8,000 YEARS OLD (WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT ALL THE DATES GIVEN IN THIS DOCUMENTARY ARE EITHER FALSE OR INACCURATE) YOU THE CREATOR OF THIS DOCUMENTARY DECIDED TO CUT RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT AND INPUT SOME ABRUPT MUSIC. SMH
DISTORTION OF THE TRUTH IS DANGEROUS AND DOWN RIGHT TREASONOUS, 🫵🏿😎YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT!????

Dear sister good morning to you and your wonderful work of ancient history. My name is Vansworth McKenzie. Thank you for your video of the kingdom of Cush. I also want to introduce you to my history book that is called The Untold Forgotten Great Civilization of the people of Ham. The people of Ham are known today as the so-called Black people, the so-called African people, the so-called Middle Eastern people, which was the land of Canaan, and what is known today as the Arab people. The name Black people was taken from the Spanish word Negro, which became known as Black people, during the colonial slavery days of the Gentile people of Europe. This word Black people was taken from the Latin word Niger. Which this word Niger meant to the Romans as dark skin people, which was referring to the people of Ham of the ancient world, that gave civilization to the rest of the world. This word Aprica that became known as Africa, it was when the Romans defeated the Carthaginian army of the people of Ham that became known as North Africa. This word Aprica meant to the Romans as a land that was sunny, without cold weather like that of their land that became known as Europe, from Greek mythology. This word Apeica became known as Africa with an f, by the Anglo Saxon Germanic people when they were educated by the Romans, and the Roman Catholic Church, where the English, or Angles dialect came from. I do hope you may pass on this knowledge of true history to your audience, and to your people to come to a better knowledge of themselves. Thank you and take care.

Middle East and Middle East Asia: this is your original Indian women with the widows peak that is African.
@Soberania-elviajero90091
March 1, 2024 at 5:38 pm
Indians from India are deemed unworthy due to separation from African DNA with denial. You have falsely led your people into poverty while the Indian mother continues reproduction without the means to sustain. The Indian mother has been controlled by their men since the separation from Africa while the men use religion and military machinery recklessly. Indian men are extremely immature and ironically codependent with their women. The Indian man sits highly on a false straw throne while their women cater to this behavior. Without military weapons, the Indians in Middle East and Middle East Asia would have zero authority over their countries and Africa. Like the Europeans, Indians in Asia use the gun to manipulate their way into false authoritarian performance.
@Soberania-elviajero90091
March 1, 2024 at 5:39 pm
Just like the Asians, Indians from Middle East& Middle East Asia have accepted trust from the blue eyed whites and have evolved into white skin ( most of you). Yet, most of your citizens live in the dirt just like Africans. And the disrespect you bestow amongst the African country while camping out under their prymiads deems you with the laughing stock. Your immature behavior with military weapons has caused corruption for EVERYONE involved. Your women are in “hush mode” out of fear. Middle East and Middle East Asian Indian men know better than to bestow narcissistic treatment onto black women in America!

Diaspora- A diaspora (/daɪˈæspərə/ dy-ASP-ər-ə) is a population that is scattered across regions which are separate from its geographic place of origin.[3][4] The word is used in reference to people who identify with a specific geographic location, but currently reside elsewhere.

It’s funny cause after the white colonizer gave the black man permission to be human again instead of abused cattle, he lost his purpose and remained entertaining those who watched. He didn’t gather his family and journey home or nothing 🤔 he continued accepting the money. Foolish one.
They decided to play gangster sign language on the streets creating his own board game of killings. While rapping about it. 🤔
Now he’s reminded he is a child of Africa and has assembled his straw thrown which he sits on waiting for reparations mostly in the payment of sex from women? 🤔 Seriously dude?
And your women still believes she’s the most beautiful with straight hair. Or any related extension.
