No not really! Arabians were not interested in sub saharan Africa, they rather concentrated on the Mediterranean basin ie North Africa.

MLK is certainly viewed as a great hero, along with Rosa Parks, Malcom X, and a whole host of other black Americans. And, surely, the Civil Right’s Movement was good thing for all Americans, no? It seems as if you want Black American history to be sanitized so that the obstacles those people faced play less of a role. But that just seems dishonest to me. Do you truly believe that black Americans have had the best history in a country surrounded by people who hated their guts because of their skin colour? Also, why would the history of Black people in America focus on the history of black people in Africa?

@@Numba003I know it’s a little late but I can give you a brief breakdown of Nubian conversion to islam, it started very early on after the Nubians defeated the Arab expansion into Nubia, part of the treaty was to allow mosques to be built in nubia and free religion practice for muslims, this in turn slowly started a small muslim population, after than islam started gradually expanding by peaceful means and around the 13th century priests became imams and churches were converted into mosques but there was still a size able christian population, forward to sudanese independence nubian christians still existed even in the early 90’s till the democratic government got overthrown in sudan and the new regime started arabizing and islamizing the north and south, this failed heavily in the south and caused civil war but in the north it sort of worked, today nubian christians are very few and isolate themselves and don’t marry into other nubians, however the language and heritage is still alive and there are hundred of thousands of nubians who speak their native tongue, despite neighboring arab nations nubian culture thrived and influenced modern Sudanese culture, today nubians speak both arabic and their native tongue but back in the 90’s it was common for a nubian to not even speak arabic, that’s pretty much a brief oversimplified lesson about nubian culture and religion.

@Darkzi 1 Doesn't change anything I've said LMAO. NONE of the local people inhabiting the land natively spoke Arabic or invented/asked for Islam. Yet what is Sudan today? Enough said. Regardless if their Nubian, or another group, no matter what tribe or creed, the LAND now known as SUDAN, I didn't say South Sudan, I didn't say any other country besides the now Arabic speaking, Islam worshipping nation of Sudan. No where at the federal level can you find any remnants of the native culture, it has been arabized, even classified as members of the Arab League, if that doesn't tell you enough already then no amount of supposed research that can cure you of lacking common sense. This isn't slander this is a sad sad case of colonialism doing what it does to rich and beautiful cultures, exterminating and assimilating them. No slander, just sad truth. Ethiopia was never conquered, and look at it, everyone speaks the languages native to their people and land that were spoken for thousands of years everywhere in the country, King Ezana willingly converted to Christianity in the 4th century and Ethiopia to this day is still majority Coptic. Ottomans, Persians, Kush, Egypt, Adal, Italy, how many outside cultures tried to invade Ethiopia and failed over thousands of years? All of them. Ethiopia has lost battles but never lost a war against outsiders, you can tell by how the people are the same as they were at the time of Aksum and prior. Completely different to current day Sudan. This isn't a dick measuring contest, this is history. If you feel intimidated and lesser that is your own fault, I think Nubian and Kush history is beautiful and I love my African brothers but don't pretend that hundreds of years of being conquered and colonized hasn't drastically changed and shifted the people who faced cultural and religious genocide under Arab and European rule.

The title would imply medieval Nubia. That's what I was expecting, and that's exactly what I got, plus a little extra ancient history! But yeah Nubia wasn't Christian until ~580 AD as the video says. And so begins the medieval era.

They did cover some of the ancient history but missed out a bit like King Taharqa's conflict with the Assyrians, as well as stuff on king Ergamenes. And in relation to the medieval some events which took place like how a Christian Bishop or minister was jailed in Muslim Egypt and a Makurian king marched with 100,000 soldiers to which the Muslims in Egypt let this high Christian figure out of jail without conflict. They also didn't mention King Moses Georgios and his conflict with Saladin's forces.

Super awesome video. I knew vaguely about the Christian Makurian kingdom, but I had no idea it lasted so long. Keep these coming.

Really wish history focused more on Nubia. Really cannot look at ancient Egyptian and Christian history without looking at ancient Nubia and Aksum.

Love this video. It gave me a deeper insight of the once mighty Nubian civilization. Great work. Thank you very much.

This was very interesting. I am looking forward as well to seeing videos about the kingdoms around Lake Chad.

Nubians are truly admirable. It is a shame the discrimination your people faces from the “Arabs” in Sudan.

@@dontsearchdocumentingreali9621 No, because we heard the message of Islam and we accepted it... Why is it hard for you to believe that Islam is not spread by sword? In fact I can show you the history of Islam in my country. So after the Muslims conquered Egypt they wanted to enter Nubia and a battle of (Rumat Al hadaq) was held in which neither teams achieved significant gains. After which the two parties agreed on a treaty called the treaty of Al Baqat. Which eventually became the longest treaty of it's time and remained for 7 centuries. At a time when new Islamic countries developed in Sudan like the kingdom of Sinnar and the blue Sultanate. So Islam was never forced on my ancestors

Fascinating insight and well documented with a solid presentation. There are many African kingdoms throughout history, so its good that the channel is expanding into other regions in the world also.
