Interesting thing is that Bantu actually means people , the joke is when the Europeans came to Africa they asked them who they were and the people would respond, Bantu (we are people) and the commonalities were due to break ups from main tribal groups . So parts of language and culture were preserved. Luba Lunda Kingdom- Nguni groups and most tribes in central and sub Sahara . Great video mom 🙌🏿

Bingo! I am so glad someone else has noticed this. White people did not understand the language at all. They guessed and pieced together things due to vague context, as they have all of history, including the Bible, but that is a whole different conversation. 95% of the "translations" of anything African are guesses, and assumptions. If you consider that whites saw them as less than human, then there is no doubt the facts are completly incorrect in many cases.

Banu (بنو) mean the plural "The sons of The Bani River is the principal tributary of the Niger River in Mali. The Bani River has three main tributaries: the Baoulé that rises near Odienné in Côte d'Ivoire and passes just south of Bougouni, the Bagoé River Bag'oi (Βαγοϊv), one of the Israelitish family heads, whose "sons" (to the number of 2066) returned from the exile (1 Esdras 5:14); evidently the BIGVAI SEE BIGVAI (q.v.) of the Hebrews text (Ezr 2:14). Volta-Bani War The Volta-Bani War was an anti-colonial rebellion which took place in French West Africa (specifically, the areas of modern Burkina Faso and Mali) between 1915 and 1917. It was a war between an indigenous African force drawn from a heterogeneous coalition of local peoples (Hebrews) who rose against the French Army. The word for Hebrew used in the Bible is עברי (pronounced "Ivri"), Côte d'Ivoire ("Cote d' Ivri" ) The coast of the Hebrews . Nehemiah 10-13 10 Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah 13 Hodijah,[ Bani, Beninu] Benin The city of Ouidah (Judah) is on the coast of Benin (formerly Dahomey). In 1926, there was a large Hebrew community of black Jews in Benin, West Africa. They had a central temple and a Pentateuch written in Hebrew. In their temple are found many laws engraved on tablets, which are attached to the temple walls. They had a high priest, with a large number of priestly families, whose members walked from house to house rendering educational and religious instructions to each family of the community. On 21 June, 1962, a shipment consisting of 400 tons of rice and sugar was loaded aboard an Israeli freighter at Haifa as a gift from Israel to the famine-stricken people of Dahomey, at that time. The African republic’s Ambassador Jean Baptiste Mockey, attended a ceremony aboard the ship, formally accepting the gift on behalf of his government. (Zanj Rebellion) Begun near the city of Basra in present-day southern Iraq and led by one Ali ibn Muhammad, the insurrection involved enslaved Bantu [Banu]-speaking people (Zanj) who had originally been captured from the coast of East Africa and transported to the Middle East, principally to drain the region's salt marshes. The leader of the revolt was a Ali ibn Muhammad, an Islamic scholar of uncertain background. Little is known about his family or early life due to a scarcity of information and conflicting accounts. According to one version, his paternal grandfather was descended from the Abd al-Qays and his paternal grandmother was a Sindhi slave woman, while his mother, a free woman, was a member of the Banu Asad ibn The Banu Qurayza (Arabic: بنو قريظة‎, Hebrew: בני קוריט'ה‎; alternate spellings include Quraiza, Qurayzah, Quraytha, and the archaic Koreiza) were a Jewish tribe which lived in northern Arabia. Jewish tribes reportedly arrived in Hijaz in the wake of the Jewish-Roman wars and introduced agriculture, putting them in a culturally, economically and politically dominant position. However, in the 5th century, the Banu Aws and the Banu Khazraj, two Arab tribes that had arrived from Yemen, gained dominance. When these two tribes became embroiled in conflict with each other, the Jewish tribes, now clients or allies of the Arabs, fought on different sides, the Qurayza siding with the Aws. Battle of the Trench In 622, the Islamic prophet Muhammad arrived at Yathrib from Mecca and reportedly established a pact between the conflicting parties. While the city found itself at war with Muhammad's native Meccan tribe of the Quraysh, tensions between the growing numbers of Muslims and the Jewish communities mounted. In 627, when the Quraysh and their allies besieged the city in the Battle of the Trench, the Qurayza initially tried to remain neutral but eventually entered into negotiations with the besieging army, violating the pact they had agreed to years earlier. Subsequently, the tribe was charged with treason and besieged by the Muslims commanded by Muhammad.The Banu Qurayza eventually surrendered and their men were beheaded. After the Meccans' withdrawal, Muhammad then led his forces against the Banu Qurayza neighborhood. According to Ibn Ishaq, he had been asked to do so by the angel Gabriel. The Banu Qurayza retreated into their stronghold and endured the siege for 25 days. As their morale waned, Ka'b ibn Asad suggested three alternative ways out of their predicament: embrace Islam; kill their own children and women, then rush out for a charge to either win or die; or make a surprise attack on the Sabbath. The Banu Qurayza accepted none of these alternatives. Instead they asked to confer with Abu Lubaba, one of their allies from the Aws. According to Ibn Ishaq, Abu Lubaba felt pity for the women and children of the tribe who were crying and when asked whether the Qurayza should surrender to Muhammad, advised them to do so. However he also "made a sign with his hand toward his throat, indicating that [their fate] at the hands of the Prophet would be slaughter". The next morning, the Banu Qurayza surrendered and the Muslims seized their stronghold and their stores. The men - Ibn Ishaq numbers between 400 and 900 - were bound and placed under the custody of one Muhammad ibn Maslamah, who had killed Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf, while the women and children - numbering about 1,000 - were placed under Abdullah ibn Sallam, a former rabbi who had converted to Islam. According to Stillman, Muhammad chose Sa'd so as not to pronounce the judgment himself, after the precedents he had set with the Banu Qaynuqa and the Banu Nadir: "Sa`d took the hint and condemned the adult males to death and the hapless women and children to slavery." It is also reported that one woman, who had thrown a millstone from the battlements during the siege and killed one of the Muslim besiegers, was also beheaded along with the men. Ibn Asakir writes in his History of Damascus that the Banu Kilab, a clan of Arab clients of the Banu Qurayza, were killed alongside the Jewish tribe. Three boys of the clan of Hadl, who had been with Qurayza in the strongholds, slipped out before the surrender and converted to Islam. The son of one of them, Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, gained distinction as a scholar. One or two other men also escaped. The spoils of battle, including the enslaved women and children of the tribe, were divided up among the Islamic warriors that had participated in the siege and among the emigrees from Mecca (who had hitherto depended on the help of the Muslims native to Medina. Mohammad collected one-fifth of the booty, which was then redistributed to the Muslims in need, as was customary. As part of his share of the spoils, Muhammad selected one of the women, Rayhana, for himself and took her as part of his booty. Muhammad offered to free and marry her and according to some sources she accepted his proposal. She is said to have later become a Muslim. Some of the women and children of the Banu Qurayza who were enslaved by the Muslims were later bought by Jews, in particular the Banu Nadir. Peterson argues that this is because the Nadir felt responsible for the Qurayza's fate due to the role of their chieftain in the events Queen of the Desert: The Amazing Story of “Jewish Khaleesi” A ruthless steadfast warrior, as well as a merciful leader who liberated thousands of slaves - this was Dihya al Kahina, a Jewish Berber Northern African woman. Dihya al Kahina lived in Northern Africa at the end of the 7th century. In Muslim sources she is described as “dark skinned with lots of hair and huge eyes”. Fascinated by her exotic image, historian Nahum Slouschz described her as “fair as a horse, strong as a wrestler, a true desert woman, healthy and fast on her feet, an excellent rider and a shooter who never misses”, and studied her character throughout Northern Africa. Slouschz asserted that Dihya meant “Jewess” and that “al Kahina” referred to the family of Kohanim (priests). Born to a Jewish-Moorish-Berber tribe from today’s Mauritania, Dihya headed the resistance to the Muslim invaders of the Ummaya dynasty, who conquered the Maghreb towards the west during the 7th and 8th centuries. Her adventures are dated 687-697, when Hassan ben Naaman, military commander of the Khalif Abd Al Malech, was heading towards Carthage in order to occupy it. He had 45,000 soldiers under his command and was prepared to almost every scenario - except that of an army of Berber tribes headed by a woman battling against him. Dihya offered peace but the Muslim commander would not accept, unless she acknowledged the authority of the Kahllif and adopted Islam, an ultimatum she rejected scornfully. According to Slouschz, she was descendent of a priestly family deported from Judea by Pharaoh Necho in the days of King Yoshiahu. She did not intend to enter the family history as a leader who caused yet another deportation of the dynasty, and certainly did not intend to convert to Islam. “I shall die in the religion I was born to”, she shortly answered the commander’s demands, and went on forging her steel sword.

it's no such thing as a Bantu, Bantu is a term that was created by European sailors to help them identify people across the African region ( grouping them all in the same category ) Not all so called African tribes speak Bantu and no Bantu is not the original language of all so called Africans, Bantu is only a North African language ( dialog ) that was spoken by the indigenous tribes of that land before it was colonized. the Igbo tribe don't speak Bantu neither does the Lemba tribe.

The problem with this lesson is that it concentrates far too much on recent history. Which is only because most of that information comes from Europe’s viewpoint of history. The so called Bantu migration misses the point on so many levels, there was never a mass movement South, rather than can be better described as an expansion. Secondly the movement had happened several times prior to what is cited as the ‘great’ migration. If modern humans are 200 000 years old, I doubt that the proposition that the Bantu miraculous appeared from thin air only 3000 years ago and started moving south can hold any weight.

Along with other African groups, ancestors of ‘Bantu speakers’ most likely migrated from the Green Sahara when it dried 5000 years ago (a documentary on this called the black mummy of the Sahara). Mainstream & westernised schools of thought will falsely claim that the migration was strictly from west Africa (with no coherent tangible evidence). This will remain the status quo, because ultimately the existence of blacks in north Africa prior to the desert proves as yet another strong Black African connection to the original founding peoples of KMT (Ancient Egypt).

Michel G Rabbat.Egypt.Amer./Florida: Adupe Dr for your relatively modern history of Bantu spread and Islamization of N.Africa. I wish to stress ancestral deep-ingrained respect (called worship by europeans), including Oba respect. In the 60's Prince Ollanrewaju had just driven me back from Ikeja airport and we were on our way to a meeting in Ibadan, when Olla suggested he pay his respect to the ruling Oba of his homeland Abeokuta , and to Olumo Rock. As soon as we were allowed audience, Olla went full length flat on his face. He was permitted up and I was welcomed to sit on a pillow-less armchair. I did not get a sense of hegemony...of despotism but of paternal affection flowing from his majesty the Oba. It made me understand how ancient Egyptians loved-respected their Per-Aon... as a living embodiment of the Neteru (gods?) of past ages. It was more social tie than spiritual religion that european egyptologists could only understand in our own religious concept of divinity. They even misrepresented the text in a tomb thousands of years into history as talking of the the primordial land of the "neteru" ancestors as being the source area of the Nile instead of Somali (horn of Africa and south Arabia and Red sea Kemt somali expansion since pre-desertification times.)

​@@Neys_Nest Words being similar is one thing. But saying we all come from Cameroon/Nigeria is just false, with no evidence. There is not a single tribe in Africa named Bantu, Europeans created the grouping in the 1890s. In my language, 'vantu' means people, and applies to everyone in the world, not any one group of people. We only identify by ethnic groups, clan, tribe, and nationality not as 'people.' 🤣 I've done my research and the only place that links all 'Bantu' groups together is Congo basin/Great lakes region, not West Africa. In fact, it was accepted as the original homeland of the Bantu speakers until the (?1950s/1970s) with either Guthrie or Greenberg propagating the Nigeria/Cameroon hypothesis, which has become the mainstream narrative but challenged by scholars for decades. West Africans and Bantus are related, because our common ancestors lived in the Green Sahara(12,000BC-2,000BC) and Nile Valley, before adopting sedentary life due to desertification, and expanding southwards into hunter-gatherer, or pastoralist inhabited regions. But Africans have always moved around. There's no such thing as a 'Bantu migration.'

In fact, despite the modern consensus, there are significant debates regarding the Bantu expansion in linguistic circles too, which i wont get into because we spend way too much time in linguistics already. Bantu expansion from Nigeria/Cameroon is a theory with many large holes, therefore you people must stop promoting it as fact and acting like all we must accept it as our history. And according to the theory, it stipulates a SIMULTANEOUS migration of people spreading their language, culture and technology of agriculture and metallurgy, over a 3000-5000 year period. Our own local histories, alternate hypothesis and counter narratives deserve just as much if not more attention. The "cultural-administrative expansion" from the great lakes is not factual either. This whole idea of human history as all major political and cultural evolutions and intersections between groups being a linear diffusion from a central point of origin, is not based on reality. Or the idea of social evolution from primitive to advanced social organisation, ineffective to effective, worse to better. It all depends on the specific context.

It is a matter of fact that in Mozambique, and great Zimbabwe ancient scrolls of Egyptian texts were discovered and subsequently destroyed and stolen by the colonials. In Congo, ancient Egyptian statuettes of a King and a god were found. Not to mention the Ancient Egyptian god of mathematics and writing was called Tehuti, who would take form as a baboon god of the moon. This is relevant because the oldest evidences of mathematics on earth are the Ishango and Labombo baboon bone calculators/ lunar calendars. These were discovered in Congo and Swaziland respectively.

Big man; Indeed it seems Bantu people originated from Igbo land in South East Nigeria (Niger delta). One of the reasons I watch Nigerian movies, is that they provides a view, albeit sometimes dramatised, of ancient government structure among the Igbo such as the Igwe (King) and Ezemwa (medicine man and the "Eyes of the gods" and custodian of the law); with Prime minister (Unowu). THis is very similar to Kikuyu's structure of Government. My grand dad who never left Central Kenya was a medicine man and walked backwards when performing a ritual in his shrine (in the 1970s) just like the Igbo's Ezemwa! Some Igbo names are similar names to those Kenyans' eg Nkechi (Igbo girl); Wangeci (Kikuyu girl) but even more intriguing is Okech (Luo boy) vs Okechi (Igbo boy), yet Luos are not Bantu but Nilotes. It is also interesting to note that (my opinion) Igbos mannerisms, determination and entrepreneurial spirit are found among Kikuyus and Luos. I am not a historian stand to be corrected; my guess is that during the Bantu migration lasting hundreds of years, the Bantus mingled and intermarried with various non Bantus, which creates a beautiful cultural mosaic among the Bantus.

The carriers of those two Haplogroups combine make up close to 90% of people living in Africa. The Bantu originated in East Africa with the founding of Ancient Egypt. Genetic evidence shows that Ramses III and Pentaware both being related and carrying Haplogroup E1b1a. The Armana mummies which includes Tutankhaman was shown to have genetic relation to those in the African Great Lakes and other Bantus throughout Africa. After Egypt was ransacked by the foreigners, then the great Bantu migration started to take place into inner Africa. In Africa, Haplogroup E itself did not even originate in inner African. It's from the Levant(Modern day Saudi Arabia/Israel. You started with where did the Bantu people came from and then jump directly to the 1800s European exploitation period.

Your correct because Ramases the 3rd had e1b1a the same dna so you are correct we did come from that region but what confuses me is that I have dna markers coming from North African & west Asia the Lavant 1% in each area but I'm totally Zulu so we do have a strong connection to Egypt you, see that by our women's hats & the necklaces but we are not of Cush interesting

BANTU indigenous African nations

[@DebunkChr]

I never understand the link to West Africa. At least there should be something Bantu adopted from them. Eg the Bantus in South Africa adopted clicks from the Khoi and San. With the West it is almost like no word is common with Bantus. It has no sense to live among certain people and come out the same. Something has to be adopted by both groups. This history in this video needs to be revised and supported by real facts not just theory only.

I am just as confused as I was before I watched your video. I like many African Americans , had our African DNA ,( which showed (23% Bantu ,Cameron ,Congo people's) .We made the initial mistake of thinking we belong to the Bantu tribe - ( just to be told that Bantu is not a tribal affiliation) ,but rather a shared spoken language . We want to know what tribe do we belong to ? I'm so jealous of my fellow A.Amercans who got a more clear result , telling they are ...Mende , Yoruba ,Igbo , Fulas , etc . But no luck for us Bantu speaking African Americans .

[@Zeyede_Seyum]

The ethnicities you mentioned are big and in west Africa which have a good amount of database in the companies. I don't think enough tests were conducted among Bantu speaking ethnicities and tribes. You just have to wait passionately until they gather it.

[@kevincarter2116]

I hear people say the Bantu's originated in West Africa, but many B!ntu Tribes have Oral Traditions that place their origin in the Levant. There are linguistic connections with the Hebrew and Egyptian languages, and major cultural connections with Hebraic practices. Look into the works of Edith Bruder, and Tudor Parfitt. The Bantu's are Hebrews.

[@ruqayyahcurtis7504]

@kevin Carter I believe you and Jubilee 203 are on the right track. I did my Masters work in Hebrew and Egyptian linguistic features.

[@kemetnubiakamp]

African languages are older than the Hebrew language and script. Bantu is one branch of the larger Niger Congo language group. All the African language groups even in their diversity are related to one another. "Ancient Egyptian" is in the Afroasiatic Language Group that is an African language group including such languages spoken in West to East Africa such as Hausa, Tuareg onward East to Amharic, etc. So it isn't that the Bantu languages are from Hebrew but rather that Hebrew, Arabic, and other ancient Western Asian languages are out of Africa languages.

Well-spoken, I also encourage all of our people to get a DNA test as you stated something we did not have access to before, but science has made a way. Through my DNA test results, I found that my mother's bloodline is from the Bantu people and my father was the bloodline to Rameses III. This was a great awakening for me getting knowledge of myself. Now I gain my knowledge not from the Bible but from my ancient ancestors, keepers, and protectors, the writings, and the great pyramids still standing, the stories are written in hieroglyphs, the first. The awakening from the spells of Christianity has brought about a truth I did not know existed. We can gain ALL the knowledge and power from so many of our ancient and today living teachers of the Kemetic teachings. I am so grateful and thankful for you our ancestors, keepers, protectors, and the gods of the universe and cosmos.

@@ringok3656 I used the 23 and me DNA testing and I had my sons processed first. This way he received both his maternal and paternal results. It took a few years to get the ancient DNA knowing the blood line was of Ramses. After that all I studied was ancient Kemet history for truth and knowledge. There are other DNA test available to get your results. There is one that came after called black ancestry that can reveal some of the tribes of the day as ancestors as well.

[@st3019]

@@woodmandawson1416 The bloodline was Ramses ?! Well, all Rameses have west Eurasian dna . Many Europeans also have dna which can be found on Ramses dna tests. One of the biggest reason why many black people get confused is Bc they don’t know the dna composition of Cushitic people ( ancient Nubians were of Cushitic origin) . Many Europeans in the past have all classified Cushitic people simply as “ subsaharan African “ while in fact Cushitic people have far more west Eurasian dna than black African. Also , Haplogroups can very easily mutate and you find people in Japan who have the same haplogroup with Bantus.
