   the newest comments only make me more worried. this is such an inoffensive recap of our understanding of precolonial african history and yet there are thousands of commenters flame warring eachother and spouting white supremacist rhetoric. These are troubled times.

   I have no idea why history of africa is so overlooked. It's a crossroads between indigenous Africa, Europe and Asia and has so many interesting stories. Instead we get weird propaganda like Woman King or we have afrocentrists appropriating ancient Egypt. C'mon the actual history is so much more interesting.

   I think if african tribes united like european tribes did 2000 years ago into countries, colonisations would go other way around…

   Menelik thought of himself as a caucasian! Perposterious! Who is this journalist? What is the source of this statement? While the presentation is shiny and the presentation complete with AI voiceove, still some slick BS being presented here.

    Remember the Caucuas and Arya's albinoid were brought to know by the prisms of African knowledge systems, and their theory of them being first is illiterate, science shows that light exists because of the black melanins internal interaction, meaning when combustion or nuclear fission happens the elements exude light. Therefore since this is a system universal code, everything is in procession of that universal code or array of cosmic arrangements

    I wouldn't really consider Ottoman Empire as an colonizer in Africa. They held the title of Caliph and all the Muslims in Northern Africa had the same legal rights as all the other Muslims within the empire. Most of the time especially Egypt was ruled by local Mamluk elite that was present before Ottomans came. Tunisia and Algeria were more like vassals rather than official subjects so their relations were more like Ottomans offering protection with their army and Barbary coast nations paying tribute in return. granted Ottomans were still an Empire so obviously Ruling Turkish and Devshirme elite in Constantinople were higher in status and didn't really see themselves equals with them, they couldn't enslave or mistreat any Muslims in many way westerners did in Africa. Such things were forbidden by Islamic laws.

    Indeed, very prosperous slave traders kings along the coasts selling those of their war prisoners that were not to be sacrified to the local gods to eastern arab traders or western european traders. Good business indeed.

    Lol the entire comment section pretending to ignore the fact that the Europeans and especially the Spanish and Portuguese learnt everything worth knowing about the brutal genocidal invasion subjugation enslavement oppression murder robbery rape and tyrannical colonialism game by eight centuries plus first hand comprehensive lessons from Africans before they were eventually strong enough to forcibly evict them from their continent and then burn the slave raiding predatory pirate oppressors in their own nests eh?🙄..maybe we should make a graph showing the f around to find out ratio involved in that eh 👍 what a cocoincidence that the worst and most pitiless European colonies were the Spanish and Portuguese 😉😵

    Long story short, Afircans never had any meaningful civilizations but were mostly gangs of violent warring tribes who sold each other as slaves for the slave trade.

    Its so impersonal how these historians tell the history. That tells me they really don’t have any useful information or they don’t understand it or they’re missing a lot of facts. Its just boring dates and reactions to events

    I really saddens me that Africa's history is always overlooked, and each it brought up in education or main stream media it's either racist eurocentrist or afro centrist with an agenda, which ignorant or actual racist plenty of opportunities to minimize african history, as you will be able to witness bellow 😔. But hopefully videos like this helps educate people on a more nuanced and accurate account of African history

    4:48 How is this related to mormanism? I fail to see the connection between her claims of Jesus being born in the congo and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints religion? And we don't call ourselves "Mormon's". That was a term mobs labelled us with in the 1800's 😂
