Nigeria's Benin Kingdom

[Darkzkin]

I am disgusted that white people are privileged to study Africa and Afrians people as "objects" while they are the "subjects" its very fucking condenscending.....besides that great video!

[iguokundia]

Wow

[MsAnanga]

I know a lot more than I knew about the Benin people now! And I am a Nigerian!

This is a complete waste, colonist interperutation.  There is no mention of the great pyramid there the writting. You are no scholar...

[oozisoundzmusic]

@cutless442225 The Egyptians and their sophistication are always documented. The reason I believe they aren't mentioned is because we already know a great deal of their 5000 year history, but less of the rest of the African civilisations. So, in comparison to multi billion dollar media documentaries all focusing on Egypt, in favour of considering it's origins anything but 'African'. It's at least fair for a small video project to touch on the worlds most underrated and disregarded Empires.

I am not sure I appreciate the allusion that the chieftancy is based on materialism solely.

Also, whilst I appreciate it is hard to keep your audience entertained for an hour, some of her humour is disparaging

This video should have been more worthy, if the narrator was not mocking the essence of this culture. she is mostly holding herself back from laughing out loud and that i find very insulting.you may never have gotten any information if you sounded like this at the palace or with any of your source of information.this is classic african culture, so mocking it means you are not informed even though you sort to be informed.
