"Herman Hoeh then quotes from Josephus, the Jewish historian, who himself quotes Alexander Polyhistor, who quotes the prophet Cleodemus, also called Malchus, who wrote a history of the Jews in agreement with the history of Moses. He relates that ". . . there were many sons born to Abraham by Keturah; nay, he names three of them, Apher, and Surim, and Japhran [from Apher "Africa" took its name] . . .these men were auxillaries to Hercules, when he fought against Libya and Antaeus; and that Hercules married Aphra's (that is, Apher's) daughter, and of her he begat a son, Diodorus. . ."

It’s interesting how deep and complex topics often bring out such strong reactions. I’ve been amazed-and honestly, disappointed-by the amount of name-calling, negativity, cursing and disrespect shared here. What a broken world we live in when conversations turn to insults instead of understanding. Let’s aim for a more respectful dialogue where we can all learn from each other, even when we disagree. The complexities of history and language often lead to passionate debates, but personal attacks are never acceptable. Let's focus on respectful dialogue and a shared pursuit of knowledge. Africa’s rich and diverse history deserves thoughtful discussion, not dismissal through insults. The dismissal of an entire continent's history and culture is not only disrespectful but also ignorant. Africa is a complex and multifaceted place with a rich history, and reducing it to stereotypes is harmful.

You don't know semitic languages. Ilah or Allah don't mean divinity, but Adoration, Dedication toward Him. You confuse translation with meaning of words. About Africa origin, you must first look for the original Phones : it is Afrika or Afriqa ? Q vs K which are not same origin and meaning. In Semitic, root FRQ means Distinction, separated, put apart side by side. The A of Africa, is it a A'in or a simple A ? See ? it's not so easy to identify an old word.

@@breezyb2379 I don't talk about translation, but etymology. Try to get the main point : identify the PHONES in Africa. Read my first com again. It seems that the strong root in AFRICA is etyma FR, and the F is the archetyp of the Gap, the Distance, so FR by itself means a strong gap. This is etymology, and morphosemantic.
@breezyb237925 күн бұрын
@@victoremman4639 It's fascinating to see such a deep dive into the etymology of 'Africa'. While a phonetic and root-based analysis is undoubtedly valuable, it's essential to remember that etymology is a multidisciplinary field. Reducing a word's history to mere phonetics oversimplifies a complex interplay of cultural, historical, and geographical factors. The concept of 'archetype' as applied to the letter 'F' is intriguing, though it requires further elaboration to understand its relevance to the word's overall meaning. While the Semitic root 'FRQ' might offer clues, it's crucial to consider the word within its broader linguistic and historical context. Ultimately, etymology is about tracing the evolution of a word, not just dissecting its components. A holistic approach that considers various influences is essential for a comprehensive understanding. You might be well-versed in linguistic intricacies-no doubt-but the video is addressing the broader evolution of the word 'Africa,' not just focusing on its phonetic components or how one language interprets it. The idea that the root 'FR' signifies a gap or distance is interesting, but etymology also considers how such meanings might shift, merge, or expand as words travel across different civilizations. So while your focus on the granular phonetic elements is valid, it seems like you're missing the bigger picture that the video effectively captured. Etymology is like a complex web where phonetics, semantics, historical shifts, and cultural influences all intersect. The video isn’t ignoring the roots; it’s just looking at the entire tree-roots, branches, leaves, and all-within the environment it grew in.

Ifrikya is a tribe from algeria, named after ifri the diety celebrity... the white ppl named the entire continent after the amazigh peoples E1B1B haplogroup indigenous to north and parts of east africa and then on the atlantic coast E1B1A is the sub saharan haplogroup. From morocco to perisia iran there was always mountain people the mountains are now sand , but they gave us our tribal names like the kabylia mountains for the kabyle tribe and the atlas mountains their tribe and so on n so forth, egypt is reminiscent of petra and persepolis persia, structures like that aren't found anywhere in the subsaharan region, its unique to the Mediterranean where earliest Mediterranean civilisations were. If those people were NOT indigenous?? They wouldnt always be bombarded by white ppl tryna steal their lands , killing indigenous canaanite babies to erase their race smh

I’m Xhosa, more specifically Cirha on my dad’s side and Maduna on my mom’s side. I’ve learned that both my mom and dad’s clans have their roots in Khwe tribes. What I learned is that Cirha are half Xhosa and half Khoi. And when I say Xhosa I’m not talking about the nation but the sub-group of the Xhosa nation. My mom’s side which is Maduna actually traces its roots to a !ora Clan known as Matona whom were called ‘Meivolk’ by the Dutch. I’m not surprised by this because my mom is a fair skinned woman, but despite that my dad is the one with strong ‘Khoisan’ features. His eyes and cheekbones which I also have but not as prominent as his.

Bantu have been on this planet for millions of years and are on many other planets as well. All human beings are derived from Bantu through mutation. Bantu are the Annunaki.

Arab did bring language in Tanzania but they came and took Bantu language. Those Arab who kicked out on 1963 during Zanzibar revolution. They went oman. Thus why you see or hear some people speak Swahili there. But you can not hear Arab from saudia arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco whose speak Arabic language can understand someone speak Swahili. Ask our sisters who went to work as house maid will tell . Swahili was not come from Arabic. Swahili is the corruption of the word "ziwa hili". Ziwa means body of water and hili means here. When few Arab come they asked where are you came from. The reply we are from ziwa hili. Those Arab and white corrupted it and came up the word Swahili. Is the same to mount Kilimanjaro. The real name is kilima kyaro.

I understand scholars talked about bantu migration from the regions of Cameroon to Southern Africa, but I have doubts about that. 1. The tribes in Nigeria and from Cameroon where I came from all say their ancestors came from somewhere else. Other tribes are splinter from amongst a larger group founding villages. 2. I don't know of any, but if anybody knows, please do enlighten me of any of our ancestors' bones older than those in Southern Africa dug up from these regions around Cameroon? Sometimes, foreign researches form their own opinions to fit their narratives and not listen to the natives. They dismiss oral history as not reliable without taking a second look as to what the natives are saying.

It is the language which spread out from the Cameroon/Nigeria border region, but Bantu-speaking people came from all over. Bantu-languages in southern Africa, for instance, contain many Khoi and San words. They also contain Cushitic/Nilotic words, particularly relating to animal husbandry and pastoralism, which supports the theory that the Bantu speakers were Iron Age farmers, but only became cattle, goat and sheep herders when they migrated east and encountered the pastoralists peoples, on whom they impressed their Bantu languages. My DNA population test links me in the male line to East Africa, with a tiny connection to the Yoruba, Mende and other West African people. Possible male ancestors include Pharaoh Ramsese III, and a man who lived in Ethiopia around 3450 BC. Given that e1b1a2b2 (v2403) is one of the most widespread haplogroups in southern Africa, I'd say our physical origins are predominantly in East Africa, but the languages we speak are from that Mambila region in Nigeria/Cameroon. It is in the Great Lakes region that we began to form ethnic groups and a culture that we would recognise as related to us.

There is no language phylum called 'Niger-Congo'. African scholars must develop Africa's research without referrence to Euro-American academics on Africa. Bantu language originate in North-East Africa (west Sudan/southern Libya). Niger-Volta is a language of Western Sahara and were part of Kiffian Culture. Mande of North-West Africa is not related to Niger-Volta. Since Mande, and Bantu are not related to Niger-Volta; there is no Niger-Congo phylum.
