- In this episode Zeinab Badawi travels to the country of her birth and the very region of her forefathers and mothers: northern Sudan where she sheds light on this little-known aspect of ancient African history, the great Kingdom of Kush.
Its kings ruled for many hundreds of years and indeed in the eighth century BC they conquered and governed Egypt for the best part of 100 years. Furthermore, Kush was an African superpower. Its influence extended to the modern day Middle East.
Zeinab visits the best preserved of Sudan’s one thousand pyramids and shows how some of the ancient customs of Kush have endured to this day.

You can't help but become enraged when you realize how much Europeans destroyed and stole from Africa's history and then replaced it with their own. The idea that some claimed that Africa had no history is absurd. What an incredible documentary, very well done.
Because they’ve always been jealous
It was an American that discovered this site what are you talkin about you wouldn't even know about it
But Ethiopia is never colonised bro Italians tried twice and failed twice our ancestors were brave and gave us the free land
It literally angers me.
Black cannanite Moors gave this culture to Japhet, Moors hated his brother cush cause he didn't send help when Joshua ran them out the Holy land. They first gave their knowledge to the Greeks.

I’m African-American but my uncles and my mother made it a purpose for me to learn about ancient African dynasties from the time I was very young .I remember longing to visit Egypt and Kush my whole life. I was able to visit Egypt but hopefully soon I’ll be able to go to the Sudan very soon

African Americans came from West Africa. When do you plan on visiting there to see the ruins from the Kingdoms your kin may have actually been part of? When's your trip to Timbuktu? Egypt was primarily a kingdom of arab looking people who distinguished themselves from the black Nubians and near white Libyans next door. The closest ancestor to ancient mummies they've tested is current Egyptians, and the second are the Caucasian looking Arabs of the Levant.
@@krystalccameron7689 Afro-Americans have admixtures from other parts of the African continent, not just Western Africa, some have admixtures from Central, Eastern and Southern parts of Africa like places such as Tanzania, Kenya, and Congo (which converted to Christianity in the 15th century and had strong ties with the Catholic Church in Rome). Do you keep the same energy when European Americans whose ancestry is primarily from Northern/Western Europe when they're planning their trip to Athens or Rome? No? So why the double standards? Also, Libyans and Arabs aren't Caucasian nor are they white, white people are exclusively of European descent, and Arabs and Europeans aren't of European descent, and there are black Libyans, look up the Toubou people of Libya, also, the oldest mummy discovered by archaeologists in a cave in Libya was a black mummy which is 5600 years old and predates most of the mummies discovered in Egypt, the name of the mummy is "Uan Muhuggiag" and TImeline did a documentary about the Uan Muhuggiag mummy and uploaded it here in CZcams which you could check out. Caucasians are only native to the Caucasus mountains and no where else. Skeletal remains from Southern Egypt of the Skulls of the sites of Nabta Playa and Gebel Ramlah has concluded that they're mostly closely related to Sub-Saharan Africans: "Analysis of human remains by Fred Wendorf and reported in "Holocene Settlement of the Egyptian Sahara", based on osteological data suggests s Sub-Saharan African origin for the site's inhabitants. A dental and skeletal anaylsis by Joel D. Irish also tentatively suggests a mainly Sub-Saharan African affinity for the origin for Nabta Playa''s inhabitants (with Sub-Saharan tendencies most commonly detected), but also possible North African tendencies in some, concluding that "Henneberg et al. suggest that Nabta Playa people may have been most similar to Negros south of the Sahara, the present qualitative dental comparison tentatively supports this conclusion." Some researchers including Christopher Ehret, have suggested a Nilo-Saharan linguistic affinity for the Nabta people."-Wikipedia
@@krystalccameron7689
"The Zink Unit determined that the mummy of an unknown man buried with Ramesses was, because of the proven genetic relationship and a mummification process that suggested punishment, a good candidate for the pharaoh's son, Pentaweret, who was the only son to revolt against his father. It was impossible to determine the cause of his death. Both mummies were predicted by Whit Athey's STR-Predictor to share the Y Chromosomal haplogroup E1b1a1-M2 and 50% of their genetic material, which pointed to a father-son relationship. In 2022, S.O.Y. Keita commented that analysis of the Shor Tendem Report (STR) data published on Rameses III and the Armana Royal mummies which included Tutankhamun showed "a majority to have an affinity with 'Sub-Saharan" Africans in one affinity analysis". Although, he cautioned that this does not mean that the royal mummies "lacked other affilations" which he argued had been obsecured in typological thinking. Keita further added that different "data and algorithms might give different results" which reflected the complexity of biological heritage and the associated interpretation." - Wikipedia
Also, look at the mummy of Maiherpri. As for that 2017 study.
"The researchers cautioned that the examined ancient Egyptian speciemens may not be representative of those of all ancient Egyptians since they were from a single archaeological site from the northern part of Egypt" - Wikipedia. Which means, the skeletal remains from Southern Egypt would have been much closer related to Sub-Saharan Africans than the ones in Northen Egypt which I've proved earlier in my previous comment. Also, "The absolute estimates of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in these three ancient Egyptian individuals ranged from 6% to 15%" So in conclusion ancient Egypt was most likely multi ethnic, which makes sense since Egypt has been conquered by sevral different empires throughout its history, and Egypt is a crossroads between Africa and the Near East.
@@krystalccameron7689 The DNA study of Ramses III that I've posted in my previous comment that I've quoted from Wikipedia has been done in 2012 by the way, In case you don't know.
The Kushite 25th dynasty of ancient Egypt is an extremely interesting era and is very underrated. It deserves more recognition and respect 😁
True, there was suppose to be a movie about the life of King Taharqa who was the ruler of the 25th Dynasty which I think it got cancelled.
Nubian history is not just limited to the 25th dynasty. We have Ta-seti the first civilization to appear.
@@darkzi1431 True, but even further then that, such as the Nabta Playa all the way to the collapsed of the last Nubian kingdom called Alodia, which has been overlooked, but the 25th dynasty was definitely a golden age in Nubian history.
Yes, the history will not begin from here and people do not know how many civilization in Sudan and Egypt return to the Nobine and Nuba All families return to Kushin for your Egyptians who destroy the Nubian civilization they have hatred and clarity Because Copts are Gold Europe

As a Sudanese, Kush history is all our history, its african history and african american history, you people should be proud and encourage such endeavors
There is so much more to Sudan than just Kush, you should do research on these contents;
For anyone who wants to learn about Sudanese Ancient and Medieval Kingdoms :-
Ancient Periods:
Upper Paleolithic - 30,000 BCE (A group)
Pre-Kerma - 3900 BCE
Kerma - 2500 BCE
Kush - 1070 BCE
Medieval Periods:
Kingdom of Alwa - 357 AD
Kingdom. of Nobatia - 400 AD
Kingdom of Makuria - 501 AD
Kingdom of Fur: 571 AD
All the medieval kingdoms mentioned above existed all at the same time and were aware of each other.

@@gracelema4849 Black Americans aren't Bantu. I know many of them came from West Africa to go to America. Have you heard how Cameroonian and Nigerians speak??? The few Bantu tribes i know are in East and South Africa. Bantu tribes use ,ntu. While referring to a person they say, umuntu. They speak a similar dialect. Now many in Nigeria, Cameroon, Sierra Leone I'm not certain of their ethnicity but they sure don't speak Bantu dialects. Bantu was simply a label by Colonialists. I have seen Mandinka in West Africa those are definitely Nilotes/ Hamites. There are Fulani, Hausa, Igbo etc None of these people are Bantu. Some of those people are of Hamitic origins. You seem to forget there are original Hamites, Hamitic-Cushites like Tutsi/Hima, Semitic-Cushites like those in Ethiopia Ethiopians and Cushites like the Beja so you can't put all of them in one box.
I am so ashamed to say that I had no idea that Sudan held so much history. Thank you for the education
Sudan had very many pyramids, most were destroyed by the colonisers in a bid to make people believe that blacks couldn't have such knowledge. Egypt was spared due to the fact that it was then inhabited by the arabs that had entered the country because of trade..The original inhabitants (black) were attacked and forced to flee their lands. Good thing they painted themselves on the walls, otherwise, our heritage would have disappeared completely.

The Ottomans ruled over Sudan during the time, that you have mentioned, when some were blown up by an Italian "Archeologist" right after he had done the same in Egypt, with the Empire's permission.

When infact the Pharoahs originated from Nubia (Upper Egypt and Sudan. Infact, the Kushite Pharoahs predate the Egyptian Pharoahs, and the ancient Egyptians were related to Kushites.

She was a school teacher, an educator, a speaker of the house, etc. Her father was Indian of the Choctaw family/ reservation. She was a daddy's girl. I am so proud of her and of my father.

My Last Name is Kush, an Original Sudanese currently from "South Sudan" and as a Kushite, as far as I know some information about my history down to approximately 13000 years. The Kingdom of Kush is not only Northern Sudan but comprised more than just all Nile river countries including Egypt, Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Congo, Chat and Rwanda and Tanzania.

Truly, the western governance system in Africa has destroyed all its glories. This was so beautiful.
I’m white British but it really does surprise me why African history isn’t taught in certain African countries there were hundreds of ancient African empires it give people a sense of pride I suppose, a people without history is like a tree without roots
Technically it's the northern governance, europeans were In africa before they were in the west. But why bother blaming the west when we can just blame all white people?
Well, if we should generalised it all to one whole bunch, then everything runs down from slavery to colonialism and ultimately neocolonialism which influences and interferes in the African bureaucratic systems.
I believe all these were possible due to some cleverly programmed global institutions that serves as an impediment for African countries to give away their glories that had always dignified and protected us in exchange of getting in return from those institutions what they need for our various national developments.
It's a pity but Africa have been tightly scolded and suffocated from a very long time and had no other alternatives than to give in to the so called global orders to be able to survive.

@@rustymeatball9243 colonization suppression of past heritage by not allowing slaves to speak there own language and share knowledge, supremacy suppression of reading material to certain races.

As an unabashed European, I'm glad that this series was produced by the BBC. It shows that the non-European part of British Society has reached a density that means it's needs MUST be met. That's wonderful all by itself.
Also, it allows us, as Europeans to discover what was hidden from us by our ancestors and marvel at what Africa once was and where it could be again.
Is this perfect and free from any wrong information, no not at all, but then again, no-one ever got a PhD in The History of African Civilisation by only watching one TV documentary.
But now I want to know more and will do my own research, I can only hope others do the same, regardless of their ethnicity.
What an idiotic statement. How did Europeans hide Sudanese history from you? It is Europeans that discovered all of this history through archeology and specifically Egyptology, and then conveyed it through the modern medium of television and documentary, all European inventions.
Europeans such as yourself, that celebrate the "density" of foreigners in your country, while hating your own people to gain cheap morality points from the very same people who invade your land and hate you, are a disgrace.

@@paulad574 What is your point? Someone is inspired to learn of their history then you come with put downs to discourage their interest for learning.
@@s.koileken369 no.. the person is just saying..its alot of Half truths
... and as history has shown
if your not gonna tell ALL OF IT .. thats dangerous to call history. cause itll constantly change once u start omitting imformation or lying. They r just saying BEWAERE.
Lol... believe the BS...
so proud of African culture , even tough I'm not African
I think Sudanese people are the most gorgeous people on the planet, they have gorgeous features and they are tall and slim. Iman is just one example of how beautiful they are. I work in a museum in England and we have artifacts from the kingdom of Kush so want to learn more.
No, they are mixed in sizes. Isn’t Iman Somalian?
We need more of this , to let the whole world knows what Sudan is .
Great history in Kush. Africa gave our planet so much, and it continues to give us so many great things that benefits us today.

im so happy i found this documentary series! Its very refreshing to hear of african history from local historians rather than old british
This is the Greatest Of All Times Documentaries. For the lovers of history, a combination of these episodes and Cheikh Anta Diop's book, African Origin of Civilization will give you a deep insight of our rich heritage. Much love from Kenya🇰🇪
Finally..told by an intelligent beautiful woman, the history of her people. Kush
Finally? Did you know about this but keep it a secret for her?
So thankful we have one of our own to tell our stories. Never allow the people who enslave you to be your teachers. The truth is coming out all over the worid.
She isn't African. don't you see what she is trying to tell us? She is giving African history to arabs-to the people she is from.

As a person who lived most his life there, I'd say most of them consider themselves more African than Arabs.
Yes they are Muslims and because of that their cultures and values are closer to that of Arabs than Africans, but genetically they are mostly African.

It’s really good to hear the history from people of African heritage.
It amazes me how you people live in the west, entirely surrounded by whites and their inventions, and act like victims because it is white people who create the documentaries and content. Even worse, it is whites who invented television, film, documentaries, videography etc. and white people who discovered most of this history which was lost to time, using archeology etc.
You people should be on your knees weeping with gratitude, instead you act like victims.
Thank you so much for the lesson. I love learning about ancient civilizations. Much appreciated 🙏🏾☺
Kush deeply rooted in our hearts and we always proud of being Nobian. The Reiver Nile and its palm gurds are witnessing the great civilization of Kuch, which will remins inside every Nobian for ever.
Um...you do know that your region is named after another place's name for goldfield?
I’m not sure why Guy Welsh seems to think that being named that is somehow an insult lol considering it just highlights the importance and the prominence of the wealth of natural resources (the most notable obviously being *gold*) of this extraordinary and formidable, culturally significant region. 🤷🏻♀️👑

Happy to see documentaries about african history. Thanks BBC, nobody else reallydoes it and much and as well.
Glad to see African history getting millions of views.
I'm am sitting here amazed I knew some of this but to actually see just how prestigious the true people of Sudan were is beyond awesome.
No such thing as a Lake Victoria in Africa the right name is Nam Lolwe, 'Nnalubaale or Nyanza
Thank you for the original name.
Just like there is no falls in Africa named Victoria falls, the real African name is Mosi oa Tunya
Same with Nile. There is no Nile River in Africa the right name is Abbay in ancient Ethiopic.
Thank you!

Thank you Zeinub for the wonderful work much love from South African ❤️
It’s really interesting how Sudan shares a lot in common with Egypt. Learning something new every time I watch this series. I wished they mentioned a little about the other tribes like the Neur in South Sudan.
Sudan or sudanese mean black in arabic language,that mean every black person is sudanese, and sudanese or sudan are not tribe or race,the persent sudanese came from around continent there is some tribes as native for that land ,now north sudan chang already becasus they mix with another white people from egypt sriay,lebenanes
@@benicdovic5071 of course there are many tribes in both The Sudan & South Sudan. Same thing like in my country Kenya. We have 44 tribes and some have intermarried with Arabs from Persia(Iran) or Oman thus the swahili tribe. That's a great point though. I didn't know they intermarried with Labanese or Syrians, but they are not necessarily white or do you mean Arabic?
@@FatimaAhmed-tf2fv True
you mean nubia

@b flower nigga what you have proof of it being fiction
Africa is the world's main land of origination ❤.
But it's sad how the west made Africans to hate themselves and thier motherland Africa.
The west finds it so hard to leave Africa just because of the greatness we are blessed with in this continent but we Africans aren't seeing it. Africa wake up ❤
We are 'Waking Up' because now is 'the Season' for that.
Especially as the 'Western World' is decaying faster and faster!!
When history speaks for itself everything flows systematically in your mind
Africa is never my home. WHY DID THEY SELL US TO WHITES IF WE ARE THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ????? Nigerians never sold Nigerians. Ghanaians never sold Ghanaians. They sold Black Hebrews who came from Israel to Africa to get free from their enemies. Thanks for selling us Africa, Deuteronomy 28.
When others people write your history for you, they deform it like they try to do in Egyptology. But when you write it by your own, you discover all the wisdoms and brightness in you, through the past of your people, which help you to live in the today's world with pride and without any complex or fear and you are able to embrace the future with optimism.

Can the cushite change its spot(look)?
When the SAHARA started to dry out,BLACK AFRICANS living there, moved and settled near the river banks of NILE where life was favorable.Due to unpredictable nature of river NILE they started to worship different gods for help and started PYRAMID building.So successful, they expanded SOUTHWARDS con coring more lands along the NILE into today SUDAN.Due to increased distance they were divided, which led to KUSH lands and EGYPT land but they were the same people,the BLACK people.KUSH built with bricks due to lack of granite stone like in EGYPT.Due to connection of land between Egypt and Israel,ARABS from those land attacked NORTHER EGYPT and that's why later the KUSH came to there rescue,to liberate them,but as things would turn out they were overcome and that why we have ARABS in EGYPT today
@Memphis Atrees Girgis EGYPTIC
WHAT is olive tone!?
Pale with green veins?
Yep. That just about sums it up.
@G L O C K Actually the Sahara was green as early as 5000 years ago. You're off the mark by 45,000 years, you racist air head.
That's definitely not true. Egyptians didn't move South to Sudan. They just colonzied part of Sudan/Nubia.

Face Africans? Mexican Africans? Chinese Africans? All Africans are so called Black. Come in various forms of brown and black. Just like an modern day so called black families worldwide. Oxymoronic to state such hypocrisy.!!!!!!
