What an excellent story and great video ! i learned quite a lot on this one. Keep up the great work!
interesting take
Thank you so much for the education...I was always interested in the Shaka and the Zulu nation🤩. I'll continue to research on my own💯❤️
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
2:38 Senzangakhona was Shaka father . Dingiswayo was son of king Jobe kaKhayi of Mthethwa clan which was on of powerful kingdoms which Shaka was in his army.
We have a book called The Royal African War Elephant available on all online markets.... It's the first of its kind devoted to sources and depictions from traveloggers and cartographers a pre-colonial times that verify the use of war, elephants and sub-Saharan African kingdom.
Pretty cool
Treachery from within and alignment with the true enemy destroyed this mighty kingdom. Otherwise, apartheids would never have been an issue.
The biggest danger often comes from within, unfortunately
his name “Shaka” translates to a Zulu word used to describe an intestinal beetle 1:48 that his father had denied he fathered the child with Nandi so he called it Stomach Beetle which was Shaka word/
Love the Chanel however I don’t think Shaka meant the great elephant, I understand artistic license but I have a problem with the architecture presented, the beehive and layout of Zulu architecture is beautiful and shiny , that had social political and military implications, those shown vaguely looked like Vietnamese village made of bamboo or wood, like wise your vision of Zimbabwe looked more like European forts and Meso American stone structures, pls look in the architecture more deeply for your next project you will be pleasantly surprised,
Thank you for the comment. The great elephant is a well sourced information here is the main link:

Also yes, the architecture is kinda out of my hands and I included a lot of different real zulu images to keep the authenticity of the culture as intact as possible. I’ll put a disclaimer in the beginning to express this is not a history course but an simplistic representation of our fascinating cultures. Told from our perspectives, the images are only there to help tell these stories. Again really appreciate the feedback will continue to better the show because of it. So thank you again! 🙏🏿
Bless I’m a fan, and yes he was called the great elephant , I was thinking about the name itself,Looking fwd to your next upload , I shared the one you did on the Igbo civilization on Quora , was an eye opener for many, that one do not need a top heavy centralized war expanding civilization to be viewed as the only paths to success, kind of reminded me of King Shamba Bologono of the Kuba kingdom, who governed quite differently than his predecessors.
Pop ur collar keep up the good work it’s appreciated🎉t
Really appreciate the kind words! Keeps me motivated. Thank you 🙏🏿
