pride has always been a problem

[@lowtech5380]

@@confucius6341 There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Pride is taking satisfaction in knowing you did good work and contributed positively in something. Arrogance is exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. Black students have been exposed to this arrogance from a white historical perspective since they entered school. White folks contributions are HIGHLY exaggerated. They have stole and appropriated pretty much everything, and taking credit for other peoples work.

Sbusiso Mhlongo good question. It’s like this: Even today in very rich countries we have amazing high tech glass structures etc as well as basic wood houses where say some people outside the city live. So it was the same during that time in Africa. The only difference was that we were not allowed to progress our incredible civilisations because our riches, knowledge etc were stolen by the west to develop their own civilisations. And moreover because they knew of our potential every effort was made to prevent us from developing. This took the form of destroying libraries, fabricating history, creating divisions, imposing their fake religion on us etc. The same is true for today!

[@thomassenbart]

@Alessandropopopo popo No, there is no changing of history by Americans. Sub Saharan history is little taught in the West for several reasons. One is that before the Muslim invasions, most of the peoples were illiterate and largely consisted of stone age folk, except in East Africa, which had contacts with the Europeans, Persians, Arabian peninsula etc...Another reason for the dearth of teaching African history, is that there simply is not that much to tell. For example the queen mentioned above, is only known about because the Romans wrote about her. Africa is very interesting but without writing, you can only do so much.

What schools? I keep seeing this thought pop up all over the place. But no one is specifying which schools. Schools in America? Why? Schools in America are tasked with teaching the history of the Republic of the United States. So anything not relevant to that would be a waste. Why would our schools teach this, or teach about the Warring states period in China, or the Rus Princedoms. Interesting though it may be it is not our history per se. Maybe this should be taught in African schools? Okay which schools? Schools in SA? Why? That is not region specific. The history of Kush is no more relevant to the history of SA or Nigeria then the history of Piedmont-Sardinia is to the history of Sweden. Africa is not a monolith, there are vast array of wonderful and unique cultures there and no one wide brush can over them all. The blurted out virtue signal of "We should teach this in school!" Comes off as shallow and lacking fore-thought and true appreciation and understanding of not just African history but history in general. You are doing a disservice.

ZPG ZPG So you want to tell me that the middle easterners came and made the pyramids with the Sphinxes(sp) of pharaohs with predominantly africans features but they didn’t make any in their homes countries, kingdoms or whatever you want to call them?

[@MiloTheCrotonian]

@@carpediem1569 middle Easterners came up with the idea of pyramids and Sphinxes. Also did u notice I said border. Also don't just stick to Egyptians, u said Sudan as well. The Sudan sculptures of people look more Hebrew than anything. Also did u ever hear of planking ones head. It's a cultural thing done by many races, thats why certain Pharaohs had elongated heads. That's not a predominant African feature. If the Pharaohs had those features than where are the big lips, ears, and everything else. They are Middle Eastern that Simple

@@carpediem1569 still answer how come middle Easterns have no dark skin, they have their own skin color and hair.

We seem to have a hater here. Checks name. Name checks out.

[@sirmatatyahu1261]

@@almansouri100 how am I being a hater? I literally just watched a program about African tribes on National Geographic were they sent a film crew into the jungles of Africa and filmed the lives of African tribesmen who having been living the sameway (stone age) for 4000 years with very little change. Since Caeser lived two thousand years ago the answer to the question presented in the title of this video would be they were doing the same thing they are doing today. How am I hating by saying that?

[@almansouri100]

@@sirmatatyahu1261 Because we both know the number of people that are still living that way in Afirca is miniscule. But if they were doing the same thing they were doing today, like you've said, then it seems that Africans during the time of Julius Caesar were way ahead of anyone else in the world at the time. Bye Hater✌

[@sirmatatyahu1261]

@@almansouri100 your logic is off. I need you to take a step back. Stop raging. Stop making personal attacks. I am just repeating what I saw on the educational programming provided to me by National Geographic. Butt naked tribesmen. I am by far a hater. I think its kind of cool that they dont need modern technology to live. And all the naked women walking around their campsites is a definite plus. Relax.

Sir Matatyahu the attack wasn't meant to be personal, sorry if it seemed that way. I don't think you understood my logic, but anyway, hope you have a great day!

@Deshone Robinson me too.

[@Larry_Suave]

@Deshone Robinson Alexander the great was obviously not black.. Neither were the romans. You just named two men from north africa and said since they were black the romans and greeks must have been black.. Despite the fact that they were separated by an ocean.. That makes no sense. Also we don't really know what hannibal looked like. He was probably dark skinned. But probably closer related to other Mediterranean people than sub saharan black people.

I first became aware of this channel a few years ago. I have an interest in non firearm arms & armor. While Japanese & European edged weapons have much written on them many other cultures & places do not. This channel did a great introduction video on African swords! I subscribed even though this channel is not a sword channel because the host (sorry I don't know his name) is knowledgeable and uses great imagery in his vids! African history, as well as many other places in the world, is sadly not known to many in the US. This channel has done a great job in presenting African history & culture in a way that is easy to get I to & enjoy! Thank you for sharing!

[@Nites2k]

Love the video but a very very small critic or perhaps question is why make the intro and outro music so much louder than your presentation voice?

I'm a little disappointed that there was no mention of Axum. Axum was one of Rome's greatest trading partners (second only to India). Still, great video though

The Romans were expanding out in so many directions that eventually they reached their point of diminishing returns. They eventually became so weakened that they collapsed from within...

[@jefferymuter4659]

It's always sad when one of the greatest moments in a civilizations history is when a bigger nation doesnt consider conquering them worth the effort.

[@lindomthembu4017]

Wouldn't really frame it like that ?.But think of it more like this, the Romans conquered damn near everyone they faced. Kush was one of the exceptions. And we only have one side of the story since the Meroitic script hasn't been deciphered. So we don't really know the whole story really went Either way not getting conquered by the most powerful ancient superpower seems at the very least, a fairly significant thing. No?

[@josephoheneboadi6688]

@remo gaji I'm not tryna prove anything major or different but facts are facts and since much of African history were orally told and not much relevant then all you telling might be weightless.

[@unkle_Enkil]

@@josephoheneboadi6688 : that fact is undeniable, she perhaps had no other option. However you feel about the matter, the undeniable fact of British rule brought modernity to the African nations. Good or bad depends on which side of the divide you stand. Having lived/worked in both, the historical African footprint is minimal until the 18th/19th century. Either way her war achieved nothing.
