I love any video on the history of Africa but your videos are fantastic. They don’t paint Africans as weak, ignorant “others”, nor do they rewrite history as portray Africans as ancient superior humans. They portray Africans as being as important and equal to human history as every other group of people. There was so much going on throughout the planet pre-Euro/American dominance (let’s say 1600 to the present) and Africa is usually always left out of that conversation.

This is a masterpiece. Nothing on youtube compares to this. There is nothing more concise or thorough i can find about the recorded history of africa. Its 3hrs plus long yet sharp to the point. And it just enough to fill in anyones blanks and cue further research. Truly the finest creation ive seen. Wow man👏

loved this video very much. I'm a very proud Somali and was pleasantly surprised at how generally accurate your information was. Often Somali history is overlooked when discussing pan African history I'm glad this wasn't the case in this video. You very skilfully provided generally holistic and contextual history of the continent for those 400 hundred years. you even created links between different regions demonstrating you depth in knowledge. Keep up the good work

Idk if this is connected to this documentary's topic, but in the the 1930s, Lithuania actually had a proposal to set up a colony in the Northern Tip of Madagascar to act as a sort of safe haven for a large proportion of the Lithuanian population in the event of a German, Soviet, or Polish invasion. Of course this proposal never went anywhere as Lithuania was too poor to buy the land from France ant to maintain the colony , and because the logistics of setting up such a colony was quite overwhelming. The Colony would've been called "Dausuva", named after Dausos, the spirit world in Lithuanian pagan mythology and it was estimated that up to a 1/3 to 2/3 of Lithuania's population could be evacuated to the colony in the event of an invasion of the Homeland.

Corrections - The Omani Ruling Family was the Yaruba Dynasty, not the Yoruba. Sometimes I say 17th Century but the timeline says 1700s. Forgot to put Burundi and Rwanda as Belgian after WW1.
