Below: Image 1: An earthen bust of an African man. Image 2 to 4, scarabs depicting Africans. None of these artefacts were found in Africa. They were all excavated from Spanish soil and dated to between the 8th and 7th century BC. What was happening in the ancient world in the 8th-7th centuries? Ancient Greek chroniclers tell us the Kushite empire was rising and rising, covering not just Egypt but all of the Northwest of Africa and even Spain!
Another thing about the Kushite 25th dynasty is that they were strongly allied with the Phoenicians, the Phoenicians seeing them as better alternatives to the tyrannical Assyrians and more culturally acceptable. But this last fact is all that was needed to enable some to muddy the waters and claim that these scarabs and clay heads belong to the Phoenician civilisation which they allege colonised North Africa right around the same time as Kush's pre-eminence. And voila! Just like that, another black feat is erased and whitewashed, not that the Phoenicians themselves were 'white' or 'mediterranean' in today's sense of the word. They were a heavily Africanised and black society, believed to have been initially a type of offshoot of Egypt.
But the 'experts' hope you don’t know that and that instead you think of the Phoenicians as a 'white' civilisation. And so by appropriating these artefacts on behalf of the Phoenicians they think they are hoodwinking you into another lie that disenfranchises black history. But lets take that on its face... why, yet again, are 'white' folks in antiquity depicting black people ad-nauseum on their coins, scarabs, and in their monumental art works? Oh let me guess... slaves. **Insert facepalm**
It really is exhausting clearing up the mess some people's ego and insecurities have made of history. But nowhere near as rewarding. Thank you to everybody who has left a like and subbed coming off our Kush series! I hear you all and Part 3 is up next. Believe me, the Kush story is bigger than they told us... Way Bigger! Kush part 3 will be WIIILD!! If you haven't watched part 2 yet, I forgive you. Make it up and check out that last episode NOW >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRmGU...

Below: Some of the artwork borrowed and used in our last video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk-8t... The first three are the work of one Osaze Amadasun, a really gifted artist with his own unique style, as you can see. You can find his work across Pinterest and other social media. I don't know who made the last two. But they also are beautiful. Got me thinking, I would love to employ art more and more in my videos, even telling these amazing black stories primarily using hand/digitally-drawn imagery for visuals. No AI though! Strictly humans.
If you are talented in this way, and would love to create epic stories for the Kush to Compton movement with your talent, then please hit me up on Instagram @trillblackgram or you can email me at trillblackstyle@gmail.com
Take a look at the @HistoryDose channel for what I mean; Amazing narratives moulded around incredible art.
I really mean it fam. Get in touch and we can build something huge together! One way or another, its happening!
Peace fam! Hoping we all have a blessed week!
