African History
The Untold Stories of the Great African Empires | A Journey Through Time
Africa is often overlooked in many historical narratives, with the focus instead often placed on the histories of European, Asian, or Middle Eastern empires. However, the African continent boasts a rich and complex history, characterized by the rise of powerful empires that played important roles in shaping the continent’s destiny and influencing the broader world.
The history of Africa is a tapestry of diverse cultures, civilizations, and empires that have risen and fallen over millennia. Some of these empires are well known today to African while others have fallen into oblivion.
In this comprehensive exploration, we will embark on a journey through time to uncover the stories of some of the great African empires, from their beginnings to their eventual decline.

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.

The pyramids in Sudan are older, the building starts in the north and comes into Egypt, so think of it as Egypt being the final form of the people south of Egypt such as kush, nubia and so on.

A really great video, and historical value. I been studying and buying books on African history well over a decade now. Being a African- American man, always study behind great scholars of our people. Sadly here in America, there are racist elements trying to do away with basic Black History, through critical race theory. European scholars always trying to omitted our rich and vast history. The scramble for Africa, I have books on this too, but the average Black- American has not even the basic knowledge of African history period.

Although this is interesting and very necessary to learn, I personally didn’t need the proof (if that makes sense) it’s just something about us that screams royalty. We’re so different. I say this meaning no disrespect to other races but at the same time with so much assurance of who I am and how I naturally feel. 🤎

For the most part, the facts are correct. There is a downplay of the "colonialization era" that destroyed the African continent and still keeps its people in poverty and underdevelopment. Europe and the British Empire were built on the wealth from the Slave Trade, Tobacco, Sugar, and Rum trade routes. You must use something other than AI to type the closed captions. Spellings of names, cities, and all proper nouns are inaccurate! This lack of quality captions undermines the integrity of your research and presentation. Plus, it shows a lack of respect for the subject matter!
