Tour on a 427 Years Old Fortress in Africa. Fort Jesus Mombasa Kenya

[@LightBulbMomentsKE]

So the guide says Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese, Captured by the Omans and then the British, and then Kenya! Did Kenya "capture" also or it was "given" to her? 🤔😉 Someone help me here please

[@mkenyahalisi9406]

They captured it too, do you see any Britishness there😌😁

[@toniokats5601]

Well fell under Kenyan boundaries but I must also remind you british did not leave willingly our forefathers shed their blood and regained our independence and dignity so we captured it..yes we captured it and so is anyother Kenyan territory

I have been to Fort Jesus but I learned more in this video than when I was there. To begin with, I didn't even know why it was called Fort Jesus.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Hahaha Karibu.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

Because the Portuguese that built it were Christians, and it was designed in the European Renaissance architectural style - possibly the first outside of Europe.

[@SueKim527]

Nice video. However, the tour guide denies slave trade occurred @ Fort Jesus. Wrong. The Omani arabs also traded in slavery when they captured Fort Jesus from the Portuguese. Also Fort Jesus was used as prison base by the British. Former President Mzee Kenyatta was held at the Fort's prison before being transferred to Lamu.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Yes!!! I wonder why.

[@cobwebtheorem7538]

THIS is what exactly I was waiting to hear from the guide. Thought I may have missed it in his rapid speech, at times he was far from the mic.

[@lashaball5101]

Vasco de gama was among the 1st European explorer to explore the whole world.

[@TheTororist]

I wish they took care of it like museums abroad. There was litter on the bottom of the great war memorial, and cracked broken paving on the floor. The overgrown weeds is something that can be dealt with so easily. The whole thing is in need of world class restoration. Go look at 800 year old castles in Germany or Japan still looking immaculate. (I'm not saying repaint it).

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

The maritime/general history of the Indian Ocean is very interesting. The earliest recorded voyages and contacts were by the Phoenicians who are reported to have circum navigated the African continent way back in 600 BCE. Later, the Arabs who had tabulated star, celestal charts became master mariners and could calculate "latitude" by using a simple sextant called a "Kamal". Thus they could sail across the vast Indian Ocean, make contact with different nations and trade. Before 1492 (the year Columbus sailed westward and saw the Americas), only the Arabs and the Polynesian peoples of the Pacific could cross oceans using star angles in the sky. The Polynesians however used a slightly different method for latitude variance. Longitude came later on with the invention of mechanical clocks in the west, so the Arabs and Polynesians used the sun or a magnetic compass to determine direction and the latitude variance to determine how far "up" or "down" from the equator they were on the globe.

The sad part is that Afrikan Traveler has a nice KZbin tour but the Mombasa county government has none...Najib Balala and the County government should invest in bringing these places to world standards... don't expect to reap benefits where you don't invest. People don't travel from a cross the globe to sleep on beds and swim in big pools in fancy expensive hotels.
