The Lies About African Architecture

[@mrcead]

I actually started the research process for an open world African game set in various time periods to help teach our children about the different civilisations of the continent and what they had to offer. I'm on the Great Wall of Zimbabwe and the structure is massive and impressive

[@IshaqqRahim]

Wow can I get your info

[@samantha6670]

We encourage you wholeheartedly

[@ugwuanyicollins6136]

Great wall of benin

[@shaneeccooper8627]

I SWEAR my husband and I were talking about this a few months ago. I'm so happy we aren't the only ones. We were talking about it because he was playing that Assassins game and they always have it during a different time period in different place BUT Africa. There may be one set in Egypt but I'm not sure. Anywho you are supported my guy.😊

[@caliisbored8203]

Wow that's so cool. Do have any socials about your game development?

[@nutube06]

Deplete your mind of western thinking and regain your true self. The journey is long but true ❤

[@queenwere1]

And lonely too because everyone thinks you are crazy 🤪

[@thenaiam]

For real! I'm Filipino, and the last 20 years has been that journey for me, realizing how colonized my thinking has been, and slowly breaking it all down. I'm glad we are here together to learn from each other and go through it.

Excellent video! Keep this up sister. They have been bashing African architectural achievements for too long now. It is high time we Africans slay the lies and bring out the truth.

[@uhurachezidek7674]

Thank you both for what you do. It's amazing to me how in tune we are with each other in regards to this enlightenment period. I've been absolutely consumed with the topic of us. Thank you both!

[@alainjoseph7790]

Please continue the work you’re doing. As Africans we need to be re-educated back to the previous values we had to establish new architectures beyond western trends. Your work is inspirational. Thank you!

Please do ! 🙏 much ❤️

Our ancestors are dead. It is our move now.

[@thepipedreamer89]

I greatly appreciate your work. The Khami Ruins in Zimbabwe, "h" is a silent letter so you pronounce it like Kami ruins. Please continue doing this it will open our minds and souls to understand and value ourselves and what we can do on our own.

[@DavidGBlair]

There is nothing wrong with mud construction. Francis Kere is certainly showing its value now. If properly maintained, it can last for centuries. I think it is much more beautiful than concrete boxes.

[@biko89housebuyer48]

Excellent!!!! I agree 100%. The African leadership needs to have this mindset.

[@quincyquincy4764]

Honestly, the only thing school and the news taught me about Sub-Saharan Africa was (extreme) poverty, apartheid and the trans atlantic slavery. I had to "discover" the continent of Africa on my own, by watching History-, Discovery Channel and the National Geographic Channel. Those channels taught and showed me how beautiful, rich and vibrant the continent was and still is.

[@comment8767]

News flash: Watching TV programs about Africa is not discovering it "on your own".

[@sureshbaral1970]

I always wondered about this issue rightfully raised by you. How can the place from where we all humans originated not have progressive achievements in all areas of life, culture and civilization? Glad that you have initiated this. More power to you. Looking forward to your future research.

[@Remembernukpunuk]

🤣🤣🤣...I was having the same logic, then you mentioned it. Given the design prowess of Africans in general - I can only imagine the flamboyance and science behind the architecture. Pyramids - mic drop lol

[@lavimuia7612]

The path you are pointing to Madam, is what the Chinese cultural Revolution was about. Now, see where they are.

Some of the best photos I have seen. Highly recommend a trip to The Museum of Traditional Architecture in Jos, Nigeria and the three volumes they produced on Nigerian Architecture.

[@gichenachacha2366]

Do you know the title of the book?

[@leratokuzwayo5878]

I have been inundated with content from mostly white male thinkers... and I am glad to have found an Afrikan women content creator to balance out the narrative... and I appreciate having found this channel that is dealing with some of the thoughts I am exploring around eco-architectural concepts of the indigenous cultures. Colonialist thinking has done a lot of damage to our ways of thinking and being, We appreciate you.!❤

[@warpnin3]

I wonder where that "Afrikan women" found her content.

[@ngonsainti]

Very nice and inspiring video even though I’m not African. I hope Africa does it !! I have been to several places including villages and the inspiration is there !!

[@ReplyMNO]

Your idea about finding our own way is spot on. Keep the conversation going. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Thanks again.

[@roberth2627]

Thank you for this fine video...I've long been interested in African architecture & Funiture. So much has been lost & destroyed. One of the reasons I was excited about the film, Women King is I knew we would be able to get a peak of the architecture of that time period in Dahomey ..Historical films are a great way to get a chance to see from different periods.. The Western world has always had this advantage in their films,,, I bought the DVD so I had a chance to see the set designer who was African American Akin Mckenzie talk about the research that went into his set designs .. which their is a video here on You-Tube of him taking about this project The Women King..So as African film making along with the diaspora grows hopefully we will be able to see more historical films about Africa including it's architecture. Love your channel..

[@comment8767]

The Kingdom of Dahomey was responsible for capturing and exporting the majority of slaves who were sent to the US. Read the history. "Da" means "snake" in the Ewe language. "-homey" means "Land of...". So, Dahomey is the land of the snake. The capital of Dahomey is Cotonou, which, in the Ewe language, means "Death River Bank", probably in honor of the thousands of people killed by the Snake King.

[@originsdecoded3508]

African architecture is far more advanced then whats painted in media. It was more then just huts and mud houses. Every continent seems to have ancient advanced architectures covered by mud, soil and jungles. From the pyramids and temple sites of south america, to the monolithic mounds with huge stone block in north america, to the euthipian and african ancient advanced ruins. It seems like our history is far more richer before the times of native americans started building huts and mud houses, as if a pre ancient races all over the world once inhabited the entire Earth only to disappear, but living traces of their rich existence all over for archeologists and explorers to discover.

[@tmemyselfandi9849]

Your understanding of wealth is different. You may think this is a contrast to affrica or others and far richer than natives to the eye. However, the environment used to build was not the same for all individuals or ppl of our past. it was essential for the climate changes why they moved lightly in such conditions for crops and food seasons changed and only had a short time between to gather and collect enough from fishing, hunting, gathering seeds, and friuts nuts beans corn mushrooms tree sap wood grasses for smudge and herbs for health fat for warmth skins fir for cloths drums shelter tress for carving to use on water and land marks. They were mobile because of this... land ppl water ppl both walked hand in hand and other trades between tribes were essential for growth and educated each others groups in order to keep it valuable and not to distrupt the ecosystem so that they could all benefit even though they were developing differently. They depended on each others knowledge to serve the hot summers and cold winters. They may have seemed to be less educated or advanced, but their knowledge was beyond those who had taken pride in the welth over value of their land. They are to me "earth tribes" who protect and respect plants, animals, and water they call mother earth. Was and is the most valuable and sacred to be protected, not used for weath and gains but was passed down through names and responsibilities and should be protected and prayers made for the past ancestors who also protect the mother earth and blessings for the new generations. Their head dressed, and seads' now beeds and other drums feathers were all made and worn to reflect the environment animals and plants. Modesty was for this very reason and easy to pack up and leave when things got bad or ppl became ill or tribes became bigger and united or worse. When divided cultures clashed and manly because of interference from beyond our understanding later on when they became separated, they had to hide in the hills from colonization. Lost knowledge and over time were driven out of those places, too. The only way out was to give into, and those who did not have been gone and with them most knowledge was lost. However, their knowledge was passed down through stories, drums, songs, and pictographs, and they lost clues told, and now that they are being reopened to these lost ways.Through Dance and singing are how they want you to see them hear them, watch them, and feel them drums, learn how strong and valuable they are, and born again. I am so proud of them to overcome what was taken and never looked back without gratitude. Together, we have found each other and are slowly building what they love. Not all but very many know the importance of mothers' ways of their traditional ways to keep the environment healthy. We have learned how to fish in these lands, plant and harvest, because of them who were and are caretakers and chose to live minimal but very rich in knowledge. More ppl need to understand these ways perhpas that was why those beautiful artists work on solad ground was also lost. Maybe they lost their values and took advice beyond our knowledge that led to things that did not give back but took from too many souls. They lost the value in our Creator, Our Heavenly Father. Perhaps all nations or tribes lost value in each other to sell out on their ppl much like today. Perhpas we can learn how to rebuild but put him first not make the same mistakes as the past. Perhaps that is why no wars or settlements will ever concor the quest to take and prosper when we do not serve him first. Perhpas looking for answers and not salutation will always keep us going through pain and suffering. Perhpas we all were wronged and all have suffered to much loss and this to has to stop. Perhpas, we know the answers and yet have come together and learned from our past. Perhpas Perhpas, perhaps

[@youtubeoffname]

Gurrrl, I don't know where you come from in Africa, but as an old chap; I could die comfortable that common sense is now beginning to be ventilated by fellow Africans! When you spoke of making our own things based on our cultures, I was sold. How absolutely stupid to think we can build the West into our landscapes? Imagine if we, humbly, modernized our traditional methods and designs for building; environmental construction, and more? How much new employment, and ways of matching up with our brothers and sisters around the world? Please keep waking our slumbering minds up. Thank you.

[@handl3869]

Thank you for this wonderful presentation.❤️

[@pj7309]

We as a people are waking up to the beauty of the human mind, for which each of us individually and collectively possess. The challenge therefore, is to believe in ourselves and the artistic and practical accomplishments of our kin. This is sooo hard to do, as we are constantly marched towards the path of consumption and war. All civilizations die. A fact. But some can be reborn by turning towards that narrow path which leads to knowledge and truth. So we must withstand the ridicule of others and keep plugging away. Plug away until we are able to fully live and profit from our individual and collective creations. Its time to turn away from false and unsustainable creations and walk towards the sun.

[@EileenPurdy-q6z]

Africa is so huge there are many kinds of architectural styles from north to south. I lived in New Mexico our architecture was a blend of Tunisian and Pueblo.

[@kingmono]

The Oba of Benins palace was said to have used more material than the great pyramid of Giza before it was razed by the British.... I believe it might not have been razed but may sit beneath a lake.... flooding antiquities has always been a favoured method to hide indigenous structures. Great video and research.... we will find and reconnect everything that was lost! 👊🏾❤️

[@ZuriArtia]

They built using mud because its what suited their hot environment and when combined with lime it can actually last longer than modern concrete buildings and with stand floods, earthquakes etc. Take the Kerma Deffufa in North Sudan built during ancient Nubia in 2500 BCE for example, its 4,500 years old and still standing multiple stories high. Despite being so old, the structure is still strong enough to support the weight of multiple people without falling through the roof. Mud is also an effective cooling material with the ability to absorb and store heat then dissipates as outside temperatures cool in the evening. Its not that they can't build stone structures because they did in places like Titchitt Dhar but they used what was most suited to their climate and plenty in resource. Even then places like Europe for example were still building using Wattle and Daub until the 20th century and are now increasingly adopting Earth bricks (mixed with little bit of cement) for some homes. So, its not exactly a gotcha moment they think it is.

[@kellerhorton]

You are wonderful. I imagined a billboard in a city with an image of the dilapidated mud "house" with the decrepit corrugated roof including the caption, "THIS IS COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE FOR US"... followed by a bigger billboard with the beautiful open air home you showed (et. al.) with the caption, "THIS IS OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR US" ! This is the AFRICAN century.

[@stylesg7818]

African designs always have meanings, I wonder what that amazing looking floor and wall could tell us?

[@vnorm2907]

The first thing that come to my mind when we speak about African Architecture is how African figured out what they call Pi today and how we also how invented we invented what is called Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean theorem, falsely attributed to Pythagoras, existed in Kemet over 3000 years before he was born. The Greek historian Herodotus makes note that, “Pythagoras was nothing but a vulgar plagiarist of his Egyptian masters,” Pythagoras studied Philosophy, Geometry and Medicine in Kemet for 22 years.

[@loriannrichardson7644]

I soooo agree with you. It's like the snake, (the West), came into the Garden of Eden, (Africa), and told Adam and Eve, (Africans), they were naked and they believed it. That is what happened to Africa.

[@mikochild2]

Sometimes when you know better, the propaganda can seep in without your notice. I was recently confronted with how much my thinking has been impacted. I was working on a fantasy story and while writing it hit me that everything was white. Everything was white as if no other group of people were around in the medieval settings we tend to use for fantasy novels in the west. I'm so used to fantasy stories based on European and Asian history that I never questioned it till now. I would have argued anyone down had they said to me that Africans were primitive, yet there I was writing as if it were true as if I didn't know better. I'm not a scholar, but I've heard reference to the non-Egyptian libraries and battles and structures. The propaganda seeped in. Next, I tried to justify it. I thought to myself, my characters need armor for the situations they deal with. Then the obvious question was why in the world am I assuming that Africans didn't have armor? I made this assumption while knowing full well that most people in Europe and Asia didn't have plate armor. They armored themselves with padding, hide, and leathers. Why wouldn't any human who goes into battle protect themselves? Just because I have never seen the armor doesn't mean it didn't exist. So I did some research. Not only did I find the non metal armor i suspected, I also discovered that some groups wore mail! The lies got in. But I'm thoroughly enjoying reaearching the battle tactics, military logistics, weapons, and armor that absolutely was NOT primitive. I think I may base my story on that rather than European armor and weaponry.

[@bodiseerekei4235]

I've also faced this situation both in a non racial way and in a racial way. My first was when I was righting a sci-fi story. I realized that I couldn't make up an alien civilization outside the whole star wars and star trek trope. Despite my mind limitations, I didn't want aliens using computer screens and burning fuels for propulsion. It seemed to earth like. Next, I was writing a fantasy story based in Asia over 70,000 years ago. At a point I questioned my racial demographics. I even realized how slightly similar the cultural make up was to Avatar last Airbender yet that cartoon had a better racial make up than mine. So I decided to make them black and brown skinned with a minority white. Mostly long hair since it's still asian but more kinky too. The main characters are suppose to have remnant giant blood so often their skin will have color patches, sometimes pointy ears, sometimes fangs and commoners would use tattoos and other means to mimick in a fashionable manner. At first it's like you can't see beyond a certain point. Later, it's like all that was stopping you was a thin membrane no stronger than a spiders web

[@MaLiArtworks186]

It starts with believing that you have to put down one group in order to feel good about yourself. Low self-esteem.

[@cloudy_dayz5000]

Wow I must agree with your video. Spent time in Malindi Kenya and fell in love with Swahili architecture. I asked my then wife at the time who is Kenyan, why was this style of building not capitalized on and spread throughout the country.

[@Dev1nci]

Regionalism is a very good thing in architecture. I guess I was searching for a more rigorous analysis of African Architecture as inspiration. There are a few images but I would like to learn more about how they were made, how they are used, how culture affects the expression of the architecture etc. As an example Dami Lee Arch does a great job at explaining Japanese architecture from a cultural perspective. And David Adjaye has a very inspiring documentary about architecture in Morocco.

[@Juhulia76]

Very interesting video. So beautiful architecture. Thank you. I agree. This is all done on purpose. To put African people down. Because if you want to exploit people you must attack their self worth. You must tell them that they are inferior. You must make them feel ashamed of themselves. Take away their pride. I pray that Africa will rise. That people will value their ancestors, their languages, their cultures instead of thinking that the Western WEIRD mindset is something to strive for.

[@christinebaker3293]

I agree, but sadly the reality is that African leaders sold out to Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Russians, not to mention colonialization. Natural resources were stolen and now they owe and the people must be productive workers and consumers, paying rent or interest on mortgages, taxes, etc. Michel Chossudovsky's The Globalization of Poverty is a good start to learn how the system works: www.worldhunger.org/the-globalization-of-poverty/ I grew up in Germany in the 60s and many Germans were upset because the government spent millions on "Entwicklungshilfe", aid to developing countries for dams and whatever projects nobody needed. MILLIONS were spent on GERMAN companies like Siemens for construction. It was mostly corporate aid. And often had very negative effects on local culture, dams preventing the floods farmers depended on, etc. In the 21st century, the entire world is programmed to create more wealth for the super-rich. And most people have NO clue whatsoever.

[@comment8767]

PSA: All African people everywhere needs to understand that western architecture was also created by African people. 1. The Mediterranean styles is a African invention. 2. The temple style is a African invention. 3. Bamboo homes and styles is a African invention 4. Mudbrick is a African invention 5. Stucco built lime sand homes... Most mega mansions are built of Stucco, tiles, and some plaster. This is also African inventions.... The brick homes are copied versions of mudbrick homes in Africa..... If Africa wants to go back to their original look of empires and kingdoms... They will need all of these styles...
