@Easter Worshipper don't have a lot of slaves in kilwa

[@akata7644]

@Easter Worshipper there where no indeginous slaves in Kilwa, they didn't need them. Kilwa was a Trading civilization, and CHATTLE slavery wasn't practiced in Africa

[@cyrusthegreat7030]

swahili culture started much earlier in 7AD

[@Suite_annamite]

If there was a thriving culture in coastal Eastern Africa that long ago, it wouldn't have been called "Swahili", which is an Arab designation for the slave states that they ran. There would be a better name for it.

[@Wasengenyie]

It was called AZANIA

BANTUS people are good architect and knows how to build houses. For the first time they use limestone as clement to build building concrete slab. Arab came and be interested because of beauty of the city. And start to brain washed BANTUS and get married between BANTUS. And later kickout all BANTUS there.dau is a boat that using wind. They study wind season and start a business trip.Because this people are good builders thus why Arab started to use them in building their cities in Oman and Egypt. Demand of workers increase and then slave trade started. And people started to hid in the forest and do no building anything. Cause Arab were getting interior to the mainland to capture BANTUS people.

Kwahyo unataka kuniambia watu wa kilwa walikuwa wanajua kujenga nyumba ndio maana wakafanywa watumwa

[@ludigomhagama4023]

Sio nyumba tu, pottery . Remember Kilwa kisiwani had relationship with the great Zimbabwe. They did business between each other. And look the stone walls built in the great Zimbabwe. White people says alien built the sone walls of the great Zimbabwe. Try to do more research. I'm learning and try to find out. I'm looking even in India and china. Just look they ancient books and their library. Something is coming. Just try to deep don't agree with me. I'm just want you to find out in deep.

This is the true origin of the moors.

[@ryennfilms6429]

No it isn't. Islam was introduced to the moors much later, and the descendants of Kilwa, (Modern day Swahilli) share nothing in common with the Moors. The moors are descendants from the expansion of west africans to north africa. Due to the founder effect and skin-evolution they are what you see today.

[@Suite_annamite]

The "Moors" were North Africans (arabized Berbers) along with their subservient Saharan populations who formed the Barbary states (pre-modern Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya). In contrast, the Swahili coast were the slave polities run by Omani and Yemeni dynasties. It would have been the peninsular Arabian answer to the Caribbean in all of the wrong ways. A racist slur in Arabic today is "father Zanzibar", which reminds us of this time period.

I'm not sure where to put my volume because Dr. Zucker's speaking so much more softly, lol. 😅 I don't know how rulers can be comfortable living in great palaces surrounded by impoverished people. I'd feel too guilty and have to redistribute my own wealth... I understand there's a need to distinguish yourself from the commoner, but rather than impressing me, it gives me the ick. That only got ickier when I heard about the slavery later in the video. Meh. I'm not surprised it's all in ruins.

[@mauriceluciano5211]

Anyone else here because of Civ 6? 😂

[@philipgrutter6157]

It is a great doccie. It's just interesting, the specific slant on history. The Portuguese are the arch colonialists. How do you imagine things rolled there with the Sultans? How do you think they they established and enforced their power there? Additionally it's unusual that the unfortunate history regarding slavery is mentioned here. Most current interpretations(incl eg National Geographic) make no mention of this. How do you imagine the Sultan got hold of the slaves? Very brutal history, extremely inaccurately portrayed. However, can't wait to visit.

[@karamasaleh2126]

If you have golds why need slave ?

[@Busterlanger1]

It’s actually well documented that the Ottoman empire was more peaceful to this region and less exploitative than the Portuguese.
