@pekkauolevi "great history of inventing a stick"
the TRUTH just hurt someone
when Romans invaded the Britons in 40 AAA. DDD they found that the Britons couldn't read nor write. It is only after the ROMANS abandoned the Britons in 410 AD that 600 years later they were able to write their first story on a manuscript KNOWN as the epic of BEOWULF which is now a BLOCKBUSTER
After reading the Title of this video, I'm not encouraged at all to watch it. What kind of a Self Hating language is the title is trying to say ? Our people don't need hear anything like that .
@kwilly54 Your reading the title completely wrong. He placed up a popular myth people have said about Africa. Which he destroys in his video. Which is why it says "destroying myth".
@VendPrekmurec India was called eastern Ethiopia before the whites got involved and was founded by a african king. So I dont find that a coincidence or weird at all..
@dmthead2012 you are a moron. India was originally called Bharat and the languange was SANSKIT, no "Ethiopia"... Ethiopia comes from Aryan "Sheba" (not Hebrew or semitic territory... later in Pharaonic (after 3600 BC) Egypt was called "Thebe" from this comes E+Theba or Ethiopia. Before that was called Dia Maat or Dia Mat (Dia =Sheba o Gea . Living land) and Maat or Mat is Mother...
@dmthead2012 correction - SANSKRIT was old language of Aryans, not Sanskit. (also Pra-krit - "old" Krit.... Skrta in Aryan Sanskrit language means "perfect" )
@VendPrekmurec your a god dman fool man, you dont know what the fuck your -talkin about read a real history book your ignorant POS get out of that spiritual shit that is not going todo a god damn thing for you u idiot .. Indians are Austronesian and why do u read real indian history which comes fro mteh south of india where there are scripts and hieroglyphics yet to be read , YOU DONT KNOW SHIT!
@VendPrekmurec Even the name Hindu is Ethiopian. Ancient records of authority made Hind and Sind sons of Cush. Philostratus. in Vit. Apollon (Lib. II), says, "The Indi are the wisest of mankind. The Ethiopians are a colony of them, and they inherit the wisdom of their fathers." The separation of India from the parent Cushite stock was in ages long before the rise of the so-called Aryans in India.
@dmthead2012 Kush was 2. "garden" of Eden where crossbreeding with human and Saurian (non human) DNA was going on... 1. was in Kush-mir (modern Kashmir)
The NAGA crossbreeds with their black deadly cult of black mother Kali Ma was there destroyed and the survvals were brought to Kush (Africa) by their "lords" (shining ones) Kushmir garden was COMPLETELY destroyed by white race, including Black cult of Kali Ma and prisoners bere brought to Egypt...
@dmthead2012 The wars (high tech) between 2 sides are well described in Rg Veda and Mahabharata as "wars of gods"... about story from "genesis" (creation) - it is a story about NON human creation - it is a story of CROSSBREEDING and ARTIFICIAL MANIPULATION WITH "GODs"and HUMAN DNA (based on Sumerian myth Adapas - Adam)
Kushites are Afro-Semites. Descendants of crossbreeds from 2. Garden of Eden. (Adapas) as Anunnakis creation, who later crossbreeded with human females black or white females
@VendPrekmurec we have historical and archeological verification of waves of migration from Africa into the Indian sub-continent commencing more than 60,000 years ago and continued through the Egyptian, Ethiopian, Sabean, Persian Greek and Arab networks.
@VendPrekmurec we have historical and archeological verification of waves of migration from Africa into the Indian sub-continent commencing more than 60,000 years ago and continued through the Egyptian, Ethiopian, Sabean, Persian Greek and Arab networks.
@VendPrekmurec There are no accounts of any ancient or historical Indian prince who ruled in Africa or Indian community which ever settled on the African main land except those brought there by the British. Think a minute for yourself then and decide which way went the migrations.
@VendPrekmurec Bearing this in mind, we then consider that mtDNA M1 and U6 occur both in Africa and India. African M1 is considered the mother of Indian M1. Indian M1 is the mother of most Indians.
@dmthead2012 according from our Veda, there existed 4 races on this planet - who did not evolved from each other (all came from other Earths) or from apes or subhumans...: White, Black, Red and Yellow...
The "strangers"(grey ones) came from Orion and Sirius. Their masters were in Sumeria known as Anunnaki or A-Nagi or Anaki (the NAKed ones - without human skin) sNAKes... (read Genesis 11:7)
the crossbreeding between human and saurian DNA began in 55 000 BC and also among other races...
@VendPrekmurec The major gift of the Naga to India was the writing system: Nagari. Nagari is the name for the Sanskrit script. Over a hundred years ago Sir William Jones, pointed out that the ancient Ethiopic and Sanskrit writing are one and the same.William Jones, explained that the Ethiopian origin of Sanskrit was supported by the fact that both writing systems the writing went from left to right and the vowels were annexed to the consonants.
@dmthead2012 If i will write you in Sanskrit with vovels or without you will understand a SHIT... again stick with your AFRO-Semitic IDIOTIC theories and leave VEDAS with your sources from "GENESIS" in peace...
@VendPrekmurec Today Eurocentric scholars teach that Indians taught writing to the Ethiopians, yet the name Nagari for Sanskrit betrays the Ethiopia origin of this form of writing.Moreover, it is interesting to note that Sanskrit vowels: a,aa,’,I,u,e,o, virama etc., are in the same order as Geez.
So, niggers with bones thru their noses, plates in their lips, and IQs of about 60 went north, built pyramids, then one day, went back south, forgot all their knowledge, went back to cannibalizing other tribes, living in mud huts, and chasing zebras for lunch, and waited to be found in this condition by the rest of the world in the 1400s? Thats what we're supposed to believe?

For all those reading my post that claim to be black , I ask you did you have anything to do with you being so called black? NO you was simply born this way. Just as someone that was born non black! There is no spiritual gain or any gain you get just because your black or white.
What defines spiritual gain is the words that are spoken and the power these words contain not the color of the speaker!
the san people and the pygmies still are black,what do you mean they don't look like modern blacks homo sapeins have looked the same in Africa for at least 50000 yrs come on what is the big deal
dear, the continental drift STARTING millions of years ago is an estimate and a START. the continents still could have been connected 50,000 years ago. geologist have not determined the exact time the continents came to be what they are today but if you ever saw native south african ceremonial dress you will find it is similiar to american natives: colorfull beads, the wearing of feathers, etc.. etc.. striking resemblances exist between the people of both continents.
do you know that at one time, south america was connected to south africa? there are plants in south america that are african in origin and is not found anywhere else in the americas period. there are animals in south america that are native only to africa. before the continents shifted, don't you think it was easy for africans to walk to this continent? like i said, do some more research and tell ya boy who did the vid to do some more himself!
..of course their were darkskinned people around the world that traveled out of the OOA. they were tropical, there for considered "black" when they got there but enviornment changed that. so no, i can't say that i came directly from those particular people. yet and still, african people were living here for thousands of years along side the "natives."
it is sad you have done 0 research. or more likely that you cannot accept what you learned if you have. remember that black people were the FIRST on this earth and therefore the earliest habitations can only be attributed to them (us) there is insurmountable evidence that black people were on every continent on this earth before ANYBODY else. we may not have stayed long or built there but we were definitely there first.
african americans merely confirm that AE was Black and African. we are african DESCENT therefore we have a right to take pride in such a great african nation. hate all you want but your lack of history is astounding. there were black people here in the americas before africans were stolen and forced here to be slaves. there have been black people in south american for eons...we as a people cannot be confined to one place on this earth and therefore constitute...
There is no such Ethiopian, Egytion, Eritrean... we are Africans, Black, Nigar catch hell racism, poverty all over the world, don't be silly noone buy this is the system use to make diseaster in the continent of Africa, but people should know better and say no to people like you.
Here in the US, almost all "African-Americans" are completely ignorant of their true African history (while the white population clings to a Greco-Roman civilization fantasy that did not represent the typical history of Northern Europe).
Black folks need to approach Africa as a massive continent, and stop limiting themselves to the Mediterranean corner at Egypt (however spectacular it is).
@AfricanHistory would be nice also if Africans that came to America dedicated their time to educating African Americans of their true history, instead of what seems to be the status quo. Truth should be in the possession of all...

Yeah I don't doubt the varsity of your convictions or that Mali was a large kingdom in it's hay-day, but I would point out no sources are going to convince me that these African societies sprang up from trading posts on their own yet some how magically gained writing and architecture exactly the same as another civilisation which pre-dates them. Call me a colonial ideologist if you like, but that just doesn't sit quite right with me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well I am open to new sources of information, but I am highly skeptical because of the things mentioned in my previous posts. It seems far more likely that this culture was highly influenced by the Arabs because if that's not the case you are basically saying that they invented Arab architecture and Arabic which to me sounds like Afrocentric nonsense.
It's cultural diffusion. Ibn Khaldun makes it very clear that the empires had some of the largest cities in the world before Arabs even reached them. they just used Arabic as a unifying script like people all over the world did at that time
you said earlier
"I would point out no sources are going to convince me that these African societies sprang up from trading posts on their own"
That makes no sense because these societies predate outside contact
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That's highly unlikely, why use Arabic as a unifying script or use Arab architecture if they had their own? There is no incentive for a civilisation to adopt a completely different language unless through some kind of usurpation of power. This is a very basic and widely proved fact throughout the world including ALL other countries which to this day use Arabic as a primary language.
These cultures are what brought Arabs to West Africa to trade in the first place. Prior trading was being done with North Afriacans, so there is no need to think all of this just sprung up with so-called "Arabs".
"When the conquest of the West (by the Arabs) was completed, and merchants began to penetrate into the interior, they saw no nation of the Blacks so mighty as Ghanah, the dominions of which extended westward as far as the Ocean. The King's court was kept in the city of Ghanah, which, according to the author of the Book of Roger (El Idrisi), and the author of the Book of Roads and Realms (El Bekri),..
ranks among the largest and most populous cities of the world."
I am no expert on Africa, but I am fairly sure that most of the developments initially in places like Mali were because of the Arab and Persian spice and slave trade.
The buildings look exactly like Persian architecture and even the language that these books were written in is quite clearly Arabic. That said I am not trying to denigrate the achievements of this civilisations, but I deplore Afrocentrics robbing the Arabs/Parse of their inventions etc.
Arabs and north Africans used gold currency so they were obviously more dependent on trade with Africans south of the Sahara than the other way around. So what you said about trade doesn't make any sense
See: "Trans-Saharan Trade and the West African Discovery of the Mediterranean World" by Pekka Masonen
"When the conquest of the West (by the Arabs) was completed, and merchants began to penetrate into the interior, they saw no nation of the Blacks so mighty as Ghanah, the dominions of which extended westward as far as the Ocean.

ranks among the largest and most populous cities of the world."
Basically in his history Ibn Khaldun doesn't attribute the rise of Mali to external factors it was just a nation of the "blacks" that conquered other nations of the "blacks".
"As to the people of Mali, they surpassed the other Blacks in those countries in wealth and numbers. "
I have researched the bible civilzation called the akkadians or acadd in genesis chapter 10 of the bible what do you personally know about them?
What i have learned in RE-search is they were a black people who contributed culture and language to the Babylonians and their writtings are what the Babylonians used for their language.

I have researched the bible civilzation called the akkadians or acadd in genesis chapter 10 of the bible what do you personally know about them?
What i have learned in RE-search is they were a black people who contributed culture and language to the Babylonians and their writtings are what the Babylonians used for their language.
