Reminds me in junior high school in Ghana learning African history and the GA tribe history. We have to create movies of our history in a form of remembrance.

[@GoddardEmpire]

Yet, all we see is movies of slavery whenever African history is mentioned.

[@blackjacks5829]

Would like to see this history taught in school in the USA. African American children should know this heritage

There is nothing that connected the gold coast British formed Ghana to the real Ghana empire in Mauritania/Mali , you people just borrowed the name

[@ComingToAfrica]

As you are based in Mauritania I wonder what you think of my video on the Wagadu empire kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WqeGR9rc50qpo

[@brofutv1853]

She said wangara, you say wangala, just because you want to force it to be walata. Wangara and walata are totally different polities. How did you miss that in JSS social studies, if you're from modern day Ghana?

[@Zero-hl2zy]

Sister girl Thanks

[@sherouknabil4556]

Great video! I am a teacher and I am teaching my kids about the Empire of Ghana, so I am glad I found this video. But I couldn't help but notice that the picture that was put as Ruins of Kunmbi is actually a picture of he Ram Road in Egypt, so kindly change it, if you can.

[@madifof8169]

Do you know as soninke originated from Egypt I can tell you the city name it's called Aswan by the Nile valley our Ancestors emigrate from there to form wagadu.the name wagadu mean iron and Gold.

[@makaamaka]

Following from my above comment, how did Ghana then ended up at its present geographical location? (Kwame Nkrumah was indeed a great knowledgeable man. He simply went back (sankofa) to claim our old glorious name. First West aftican empire to first west African country to snatch independence from the grips of the British. We great indeed.

[@andromedab902]

ABSOLUTELY, v insightful!👌🏾

[@dan.S5050]

Indeed, we've since learned - from our own historians in Ghana - that when Nkrumah proposed this new name for the Gold Coast, he 'hoped to imbue and restore some of that sense of a great warrior people in his new country'. He dreamt of present day Ghanaians leading the charge to reclaim and restore. He wanted this name to remind his country men and women of how 'great' we were as a people before and hopefully inspire the rest of the people on the continent to see ourselves as capable again - of anything we want to be. This vision, I'm glad to say, is still largely imprinted into every Ghanaian today. Ghanaians still see themselves as a 'hope', 'gateway' and 'star' of Africa. Names do really make a difference.

[@bj7643]

Nkrumah just borrowed the name but modern day Ghana has nothing to do with ancient Ghana

[@diafarsouare3424]

Rulers of the ghana empaire, the Soninke people, are sill found in their respectve and original home territory which covers part of senegal, mali and mauritania as a result, its citizens are divided between 3 countries = senegal, mali and mauritania

[@benjaminappiah7218]

@@diafarsouare3424 My bro, the oral history of the Akans states that after migrating from Kemet and Sudan, they settled at ancient Ghana. They claim that after several invasion from the Arabic Amoravids to convert them into Islam, they left to the Kong in present Cote d'ivoire. From Kong, they came to present day Ghana. The Akans left together with some Sonnike and Mande groups who settled in Burkina and Northern Ghana. This is the oral history of the Akans for thousands of years. It corresponds exactly with that of the Lady. The Akans can be lying about this. The name Gana for the kings of ancient Ghana has something to do with Nana, the title of the kings of modern state Ghana. Gana and Nana means the same thing. It means warrior king. Also I know, the Mande and Sonninke are not Matrilineal but Patrilineal. But the Akans who claim to have settled at ancient Ghana are Matrilineal. The Akans are not claiming to have founded the empire, but they passed through, settled there and even ruled at some point. The depictions of the kings clad in gold and sitting in palanquins are only found amongst the Akans of present day Ghana.

Wow. Thank you for the valuable lesson in African history. This was never taught to us in school. Our curriculum in post independence Africa should focus on our history in depth, and less on European and outsiders history. I have learnt more about my continent through independent research, and by listening to scholars like yourself. I thank you so much for the valuable work you have done. Without you we would continue to live a life of lies and historical bankruptcy, as the systems in place are determined to ensure that we never learn the truth of our rich history. May the Almighty bless you and give you the courage and strength to continue in your priceless work. Shalom.

Hi There, I wanted to know whether you have information of: 1. Migration out of Africa into the Pacific? 2. Ancestral links with Aboriginals and Melanesians? Thanks

[@MalamaMaLemba]

Aloha ahiahi, Not sure if I can be of help. My best advice would be learn African. Specifically Southeastern and Eastern African. My research has led me to South Africa, East Africa, and Madagascar Bantu populations, in regards to Pacific Islanders and African history. A mix of things: 1) Bantu symbols found throughout Polynesia/ Micronesia. Such as the garment in a Marshallese museum with Bantu African recognized symbols on it. Or the popular Samoan tatau, that's a west african andinkra. 2) Ōlelo Hawaii words that have been classified austronesian but are found throughout the Bantu language in Southeast and East Africa. Ex: kuokoa, kamau, Makua, Tonga, Malama, Makena, just to name a few. These are African Bantu/ swahili words. But also Austronesian Ōlelo Hawaii words at the same time. As far as Melanesia..... I've only stumbled across the Ni Vanuatu people having a water dance similar to the Biaka pygmy people in central Africa. There are also garments and traditional dance that is similar to Ghana traditional garment and dance. Found with Melanesians. Check out Bantu in Britannica encyclopedia. Not the popular "majority theory", but the unpopular unknown "minority theory". It speaks about the Bantu people arriving 2000 years ago and meeting a people who introduced us to a Malaysian crop we know as taro today. (Bantu people have different names for it today). Just to get you started. Lemme know what you find. I'm always searching for new info to add.
