The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the ancient civilizations continues with a video on the Berbers. In the first history video we talked about the ancient origins of the North African civilization ( • Berbers: Ancient Origi... ), while this video will talk about the period after the Berbers adopted Islam and then rebelled against the Caliphate. This eventually led to the rise of the medieval Berber empires in North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula: Zirids, Almoravids, and Almohads

I'm Portuguese, I don't know how are history classes in Spain, but here we are taught about pretty much everyone who was here at some point: the Phoenicians, Carthiginians and Greeks briefly, with not much detail, then we are taught about the Lusitanians and Celts with some detail, then we are taught about the Romans with a lot of detail, then we are taught about the germanic tribes (Vandals, Alans, Suebi, Visigoths, etc) with some detail. Which is understandable, because the Romans were here for a long time and they recorded everything, while the others didn't. After that, we are taught about the "Mouros" (Moors), but let me tell you, whenever they teach you this period, they rush it very fast and it's even with less detail than some of the minor people I mentioned before, not only that but the book we use in class usually has like 5 pages on this, which is the equivalent of "well, they were here, then the Reconquista happened, the end"...for me, it's sad, the Moors were in Portugal for 530 years (780 in Spain)...so how can you teach 500 years of history in a few minutes and teach some of the other minor tribes throughout several classes? And I'm pretty sure it's not due to lack of records, the Moors were advanced and introduced a lot of technical things to the Peninsula, I'm sure they had records just like the Romans. I for one wish we valued more this part of our history, unfortunately, for some reason, I don't know if it's because of religious differences or if its for us to "identify" more with our Reconquista, I'm not sure...I just know that we should be taught about our christian forefathers, for sure, I'm all for that, but I think we shouldn't miss 500 years of history because of something that happened more than a milenium ago.

The histories of the Berbers has fascinated me since childhood, and 60 years later, still does. And this two part presentation from K&G is flawless in its accuracy, yet equally important is that it’s presented in a captivating and fascinating fashion. Without a doubt, K&G has the most insightful, incisive documentaries on KZbin.

[@Yanzdorloph]

Despite them being one of the oldest known ppl and cultures that is still alive to this day, they are often overlooked for some reason, probably because they are overshadowed by the pheonicians and Romans, but they are known in history since the times of Ancient Egyptians and Babylonyans, yet the Ancient Egyptians that wrote about them and hired them in their armies no longer exit, but the berbers still do.

I am an Amazigh from Morocco (Aith Wayaren tribe which is one of the biggest tribe in the Rif region) and this is very interesting. Most people in Morocco are genetically Amazigh, but some (especially from the south of Morocco) consider themselves Arabs , which they are not. It would be nice to see another episode of Abdelkrim Alkhattabi who was an Amazigh from Morocco, and with just a small army defeated Spain and France in Morocco. In the end Abdelkrim had to surrender because France and Spain (with the help of other European countries) bombed villages and civilians with poison gas. You should check the Battle of Anwal where the Spanish army was decimated. Can you make an episode about this?

Sad fact educational system in Portugal 🇵🇹 gives little attention to the moors, always left me with many questions as if Portugal 🇵🇹 tried to erase them from history. There are even jokes of disdain by people from north of Portugal 🇵🇹 calling moors to the southerners in a pejorative way. Little is to see in the north from that period while in south provinces of Alentejo and the Algarve the ecoes of ancient Al-Andalus are still visible everywhere; the names of villages, the construction of the houses, not anymore but if you visit the “aldeias” in the interior of Alentejo… the Castles still there, ex: Mértola, Silves etc… Al-Mutamid has a monument in his honour in the city where he was born, Beja. Southern Portuguese celebrate them too coz they celebrate those who came before with festivals that last a week … the Festival Islâmico of Mértola, Beja, Serpa… In Portugal 🇵🇹 flag there are 7 moslem castles displayed has war trophies allusive to the conquer of the Gharb nowadays the province of the Algarve. There’s so much to explore and learn but somehow always had the feeling Portugal 🇵🇹 fear Islam ☪️ to come back therefore the need to erase them from mind erasing them from history… Pay visit to Portugal 🇵🇹 Alentejo, adventure yourselves to Serpa, Mértola, Moura, Monsaraz and feel those ancient ecoes of the past still whispering through the wind has if a lament call from the past.

Abd al mumin the one who made the almohad caliphate was from the hammadid kingdom(algeria) lol

[@Oncaatrox]

@@98psico the founder of the Almohad movement is not Abdelmumin but Ibn Tumart who had already started conquests before his death. Abdelmoumin was born in a Moroccan land conquered by the Almoravid dynasty, according to Ibn Khaldoun in his book History of the Berbers and the Muslim dynasties of North Africa volumes 2: "El-Mansour marched against him and, after devastating the territory of Makhoukh and destroying his castles, he will be Ibn-Tinamer so closely that Yousef ibn Tachefin saw the need to make peace and prevent his Almoravids from invade the Hammadite states. Some time passed thus, but the Almoravids having renewed their hostile attempts, El-Mansour sent against them his son, the Emir Abd-Allah. The Almoravids then evacuated the Sanhajian territory and returned to Morocco. [...] (I pass the actions of Abd-Allah) Then the war broke out between Makhoukh and El-Mansour who killed the sister of his adversary. The son of Makhoukh went to Tlemcen to obtain the support of Ibn-Tinamer, and then marched on the city of Algiers that ' he was blocked for two days. Following this expedition Mohamed Ibn Tinamer died, and his brother Tachefin ibn Tinamer, to whom Yusuf ibn-Tachfin gave the government of Tlemcen, went to seize Achir. This new insult excited the indignation of El Mansour to the highest degree, he called under his flags all the Sanhadjian populations [...] (I pass the support of other tribes), he marched on Tlemcen in the year 496 (1102-3), at the head of twenty thousand men. [...] (I pass the flight of Tachfine ibn Tinamer) Al Mansour's army had already started to sack Tlemcen, when Haoua, Tachfine's wife, came out to meet him and implored his mercy, emphasizing the links between the kinship ties that existed between the two Sanhadjian nations ( between Almoravids and Hamadids because Tlemcen before 1102 or 1103 was under the authority of the Almoravids) ". So as we can see, being under Hammadid attacks and being under Hammadid authority are two different things why attack a city that is already under their control? quite simply it is not under the Hamadid authority knowing that the Hamadid kingdom is not mas Algeria which it is created in 1830 by the French. When you answer you can translate your comment into French because I do not understand English very well and I will not have fun translating a text.
