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.

Seems to me he forgot all the arrows of humans going east as slaves into the Midde Eastern and in particular Moslem Arabic world. That went on for almost a thousand years and far more black slaves went East than West, even long after the West abolished slavery and forced the world to follow suit. And shouldn't there be just a few arrows TO North-Africa, representing the more than a million European slaves the Moslem pirates and armies caught and send that way?

Nice start and flow of the charts. But I feel there is more of the great kingdoms you missed before the moder error. While the kingdom of kongo was ruling in the now DRCongo and Congo, Buganda, Bunyoro, Ankole all who allegedly had been precolonised by the Bachwezi(extraterrestrial beings with supernatural powers) were existing. They are Bantu who trace from Nigerian. The kushites were had divided into small kingdoms in sundan and North of East Africa.
During the modern era the Tooro kingdom slept from the Bunyoro kingdom and the Rwezururu kingdom formed by the Konzo who had been spilt from the Congo empire by the boundaries of Uganda and Congo. Although the Rwenzuru kingdom had some minor chiefdoms have a come practice that traces routes before Islam. Male circumcision.

This is still history told by Europeans or hellenistic German Academia from Göttingen University in der Niedersächsischen Universität Göttingen. Very sad that we have some artefacts, written and unwritten oral as evidence but all Europeans hate is to say Egypt before Invasion was african, its like saying Rome was not European civilisation that how i hate to listen to Any white sources now about Africa very rich in history and natural resources that God had ever created, Africa dont the world but the world still needs Africa to maintain exploitation of the children of the Sun.

I am from South Afrika. I'm greatly dissatisfied with this documentary. Zulu kingdom was not the major kingdom in Southern Africa. In fact, it was one of the five major kingdoms in South Africa. We have Swati kingdom, Xhosa kingdom, Sotho kingdom and Ndebele kingdom. Before they split into six kingdoms, there were only two kingdoms, which were Sotho and Nguni kingdom, of which both come from the Bantu tribe.

Nothing raises so many controversies than talking about African empires and kingdoms, attracting historical conspiracy theorists, Racists, historical supremacists, Crazy people, religious fanatics, people who are ashamed of the faults of their ancestors, people who deny that their ancestors did something horrible, and the classics who say, they weren't that great Because if they were, why didn't they colonize Europe and how can we not forget those who deny everything and say that Africans were savages and Europeans "civilized" them? ( I wonder where all those people come from, what they eat, how they live, with whom they associate) 🤔😏😂
