I can never get enough of the Dogon or their culture. I feel in my DNA that I am part of Dogon culture. I live in the west but hopes to visit them one day soon. Hold on to the culture my Dogons.
Yes, sir!
If u feel it. You know it. Keep Searching.
Dogon and Maya are amazing and refused to convert so to not lose their true heritage. Amazing people of science and art
Well said. Thanks for the comment
@@aeafilmsuk islam wants to take over the world.it is no different than any other ''religion'',they all came from the same source..if,,these ''religious'' people realised that,there would be no more war,,but,,it has been made as an excuse to invade & kill millions..in the name of ''there'',god..religion is extreme terrorism,nothing else..praying 5 times a day is absolute stupidity..
Never convert! The Vatican and its pope rule every nation on earth via they secret societies and Intel community,and Romanism creation islam is the same way, convert or die.
@@phantomwalker8251 facts over emotions plz. Islam doesnt have to samw concept of a 'religion' if u check the roots its actually a title before white ppl labelled it. For example yhe word 'sufi'. Fact no 2 praying 5 times a day has lot more meaning than u think. fact no 3 the vatican hates islam
@mwene mekoyo the mosque doesnt have the same concept of a church. Lets put facts over yall emotions. Yall cant defeat islam with facts
Lately "ive been trying to do research on African history because all I was ever taught is that Africans were only slaves, which is not true, and now finding your channel is even better. I also like that we have an African person doing the research and recording it, because its usually Europeans going into these African countries and telling our HISTORY. One love brotha
Thank you Evelson. Hope the channel continues to help as you continue to find out more about our people. Blessings to you
All love to the brother
Our people are brilliant. We're taught that the Europeans were first, but our people were writing books when the Europeans were in the Dark Age.
Yes indeed!
@@aeafilmsuk How many books are published in Arabic currently compared to other languages ?
🖤🙌🏾
The garden of Eden is in Africa. How could it come from Europe? We will go back to the garden
@@intramotus More deflection and moving the goalposts. Had you people not invaded us and enforced your languages we would not even need to discuss this but I’m in the mood to entertain your nonsense. We have writing system in African 60,000 years old, our writing system are 10x older than European life span, at least. These languages and writing systems still exists and are taught, thousands of manuscripts in Bamum, Shumon, Nsibidi survived the destruction brought by the Europeans, so there you have it.
The Dogon must be protected at all costs.
Because we were taken from West Africa and brought to the Americas. In the Caribbean when ever we are planting crops we have to wait on certain shape of the moon to plant in order for crops to yield plentiful . i use to enjoy doing that so we understand about the Dogon people. Thank you for that !!
You're most welcome sister.
It's time We as Africans to rewrite our history, work well done
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
The "supposedly"s are gold. This entire film is gold, thank you and all who contributed. Messages for the present is reflected in the ways of our Ancestors. This has granted me greater vision for my plan.
Peace & blessings
Peace and blessings to you too, family. Thanks for the comment. Be sure to watch the other documentaries on the channel.
The Dogan are amazing. Those guys look like my father's side of the family. It's sad that the youth dont want to continue their practice, and that mindset has hurt ADOS around the world. We begin to forget who we are. Thanks, for ypur many videos brother.
You're very welcome, brother.
We will rise again. AŚE!
I'm seeing this in March 2021 for the first time, so
I checked AEA"s site as it's new to me.
Your comments are quite true about the youth, as well as the familiarity of the men's faces.
You can sense their wisdom too.
It must have been an amazing experience sitting and communing with them.
I believe I may have seen that library in a different network's presentation, if not, a similar one.
Onuara, this is another great docu. keep shining light on our heritage.
Thank you brother Nii. Please be sure to share on your socials. Thanks.
As a white European, I thank you for this enlightening and boundlessly interesting and informative documentary. I wish we in Europe would learn much more about Africa and its ancient history and cultures.
Thanks for your kind words. God bless you.
@11: 46 the carved wall for the lamps so as not to stain the wall and the hole to circulate the smoke around it, is really Genius. Unfortunately most africans disregard all this type of Knowledge.
✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
You are doing great work brother, keep the history of our ancestors rollin lol 🖤✊🏿
Thank you, dear brother. Please spread the word.
@es Johnson It is sad indeed, sister. Thanks for the watching
I feel like Im really connected to Africans who stick to their heritage, I wish to visit one day
✊🏿
As a young African I can't even tell you how proud and happy to see a brother undertake such a huge but soo extremely important mission. Keep up the great work brother, and let us know how we can help
Thank you dear brother for the very kind words and we hope you check out all the documentaries on this channel. Feel free to contribute to either our CashApp: £OnuoraAbuah or

this is so beautiful. i'm grateful for your gift of storytelling and wealth of information. Looking forward to more videos :)
Thank you very much, sister. Very well appreciated
I really appreciated this mini documentary. One Love Brother. I loved when he said "we have more than the church" he knows there is only ONE and very few know how to connect. Thanks to the ancestors the Dogon knowledge has been preserved throughout time.
Thank you brother
I'm currently doing a character brief for my university course and was given to research into the dogon and its culture. This video has been so enlightening and educational. Thank you for this documentary!
Glad we could help, Axel.
African history told through the eyes of an African. Nothing more precious than that.
🙏🏿🖤
Thank you so much. Sending love and appreciation for your hard work from New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 🙏🏾💖
Bless you, sister!
I’m glad the Dogon ensured not to get converted by Islam! I wish more of us can go back to our respective AFRICAN faiths. Awesome documentary!
🙏🏿
Thank you for this extremely comprehensive piece!!
You're very welcome!
This is what should be taught in schools ❤
Thank you.
@@aeafilmsuk Thank YOU
This is the best documentary for the future generations not to conform to anyone but our ancestors 🙏🏿🌍
Thank you!!!
And like someone mentioned earlier it is really nice to have a african person doing the show, he is so calm interested and respectfull, great aproach.
Thanks for the kind words
FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for this. Professional, informative, and highly interesting. Couldnt stop watching.
Thank you Veronica. Glad you found it interesting. Please check out the other docs on the channel.
AEA Films I have subscribed so I will definitely do that
Amazing video. It is concerning to realise how much of our history exists and is just completely ignored. Yet we are bombarded by the history's of a few cultures as representatives of the ancient world.
Your videos are a godsend, because alot of Africans and black people have internalized the belief that our culture is babaric and not worth noting.
Na gode, Maryam
Thank you so much, for all the work you're doing for us! Love you!
Thank you family. Hope you watch all the others too.
I'm so happy I discovered this. Thank you for doing this work.
We're glad you discovered this too. Thanks for your kinds words. Be sure to watch the other documentaries.
A excellent and accurate film. I visited this of Mali in 2009. Stay the course Dogon.
Very much appreciated brother. Please be sure to share on your socials and look out for part 2 this January
Amazing production, I love how interactive this series is.
Most of the time we only get flyovers of the mosque, and b-rolls of the manuscripts but you actually took the time to give us the internal tour of the Djenné mosque and analyze the manuscripts, sensational!
One small correction However, whilst modern Djenné only dates to the 11th century, the ancient settlement of Djenné-Jenno actually has settlements which dates back to 250 BC.
👍🏿👍🏿
I just discovered your channel and I wll have to say your documentaries a very informative and your film production is amazing, bless up!
Thank you Amed

Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching.
That was a beautifully inspiring documentary!!!
Thank you, Mirci!
I love Mansa Musa, but sometimes I think his Hajj was the worst thing that happened to Africa writ large, and he couldn't have foreseen it.
I often think of his hajj a gift and the curse.
He couldn't have foreseen it because he had already disconnected from the culture. The man here says they can foresee it as the ancestors because they stay connected to the culture.
@@drkchocolatguy Yes. We do.
True
His brother betrayed him
Fantastic. Thank you for this education!
Thank you brother. To do more work, we kindly ask you to SHARE on your socials or support our work on our gofundme. Thanks again

Excellent documentary. I’m learning so much about my beautiful culture and will be able to teach my daughter now, thanks to you!
Thank you, Tracy!!!
Most excellent !!! Please return to the Dogon....would love to learn more. Truly a magical kingdom to be discovered yet.

Wonderful --Thank You ---Soooo glad the Dogon did not lose their culture to an Abrahamic religion .
You're welcome.
Havent even watched yet but I know its good
Much appreciated! ENJOY!
this is great :D
Thank you, brother.
Good job brother. I love what you are doing and I wish to do same someday. I have traveled all of West Africa and the second time I will be doing it will be to do things like this. Keep it up, we are looking up to you.
Well appreciated family. Hope to see your work soon!
Your documentaries are always so well done I would love to know who’s your guides are and how I can get in touch with them I’m doing a major west African tour in December
Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for the compliment. Onuora happens to have contacts in all these places who aren’t guides but Fixers who help him on his travels. If you need assistance, we can see if there’s a way we can help
I love your work for it is time for us to learn our history as Africans. Please am following you which i have subscribed already
Very appreciated Gwauza. Please be sure to share the videos to your social media handles. Blessings to you.
TOP VIDEO 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
✊🏿✊🏿
incredible documentary xoxoxo
Thank you
Dogon traveled to the America's quite often
That's why we need to display the most grandest story of all, our story. We were once great King's👑 and Queens 👑 of Mighty Empire's, someone should write a series about our Glory years in power. Call it "The time before time", that Michael Jackson video "Remember the time" would be a great place to draw inspiration from. Or even the Hyksos events that took place between the 10th and 17th Kemet dynasties. "Kemet" would be a great Title series too.
👍🏿
Great job, thank you so much! We europeans have soooo much to learn from African wisdom and connection
You're very welcome, Gaia.
very nice video ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you. Be sure to share on your socials
Butyfull
Will North Nigeria/Hausaland be featured on the series? It's interesting how West African islamic empires/caliphates were able to intertwine different ethnic groups under the banner of Islam.
Hello Brother. Northern Nigeria will be on a seperate series which we shot a few months ago. It's interesting how Islam in West Africa differs to that of the east and is evident across the region. Thanks for the comment and be sure to share.
@@aeafilmsuk Will do! thanks
I am glad you are uploading videos again ... :-)
And may God bless and watch over the baby and the entire family.
I love how the Wife is the Alpha person in the family who provides depth with warm emotion .... but the Husband still shows maturity, strength and standard to drive and lead the family together with the Wife to the ultimate purpose of life, which is Happiness (then the Wife follow into his wise mature masculine). This matriarchy system is how we as FULANI people understand the universe around us (the prehistorical Kemet Indian Vedic spirituality)
My genetic map consist of:
(1)West African Bantu Garamante (Fulani Futa Toro - The Moors) = 60%
(2)East African Cush Nubia-Kemet (Borgu Jelgoore) = 30%
(3)Indo-Aryan (Dravidian Harijan Dalits & Vandals Hanover) = 10%
Our FULANI family name in local language is "Elbahi" from West Africa Mali which is historically related to the Afro Brazilian culture in Salvador Bahia Brazil. Our family is also genetically related to the Dravidian Harijan Dalits of South India and most recently the Afro Indian or Indo African culture, the Siddi/Habshi.
The Bantu Garamante people follow a Matriarchy society (The Khemit School of Ancient Dravidian Mysticism). Matriarchy is a social system in which the older females (Kandaka) hold the primary power positions in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property (similar to the Dogon people who are an ethnic group indigenous to the central plateau region of Mali, and are the descendant from ancestors who built the Pyramids and the keeper of the Egyptian Hieroglyphs language decipher code).

Kandaka” means queen of the old Cush Nubian Kemet civilization. It was used as an all-encompassing name for a revolutionary woman and became the name for the women who returned for the massive protests in Sudan earlier in year 2018/2019.
The Garamante people (The Moors or Berber consist of: Amazigh, Tuareg, Fulani and Hausa):
were an ancient prehistorical civilization based primarily in present day Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan, Chad, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central Africa, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea, The Gambia and Senegal. They most likely descended from Iron Age Berber tribes from the Great Sahara desert. They are known by locals as "The Camels" Tuareg herders and "The Cows" Fulani Herders.
Kindly please watch the latest discovery dated 28-Oct-2016 by Prof Charles Bonnet (London lecture). This new findings have linked all Sub Saharan Sudan Cush Nubia-Kemet and Mali Ghana Bantu Garamante cultures together as one prehistorical civilization located in the Great Sahara desert, that stretched from the Atlantic to the Red sea. This prehistorical empire had two capitals, the east capital in Sudan was called Kerma / Dukki Gel and the west capital in Mali was called Timbuktu / Gao.

This new findings contradict what the main stream Western academia has been telling us for the last 100 years?
Kindly please watch this famous personality (of Bantu Garamante origin), who was challenging the American narrative in 1807 …
Omar ibn Said (Arabic: عمر بن سعيد ʿUmar bin Saʿīd; 1770-1864) was a slave born in what is now Senegal in West Africa, who was enslaved and transported to the United States in 1807. There, while enslaved for the remainder of his life, he wrote a series of works of history and theology, including a posthumously famous autobiography.

@@shaggy6013 Much love!!
Izon, Dogon and perhaps Serer are brothers. Degema Rivers State was called Dogon Province. Many of our groups migrated from. the Nile Valley, on the route through Lake Chad so much assimilation must have taken place. Still if we look closely we will recognize each each other. Good job!
Thank you.
Thanks. Make one about the Mossi, you were near the land.

What people of that region need to do is, take pictures of that place, take notes and so on so that should they be destroyed, the memory lives on.

This video just came across my fb feed. Funny enough I was recently looking for the meaning of my middle name. Today was the day to find out-- my middle name is Jenné.
My mom had no idea it was the name of an ancient African city.
Glad we helped with the revelation, family.
I love believe and respect the dogon tribe!!!!❤ 🤍 💙 🧡 🖤 xo

You make great films. Are the beads locally made or imported?
Could you make a films on written languages in Africa - Geez, Tamacheck, Moroe, etc?
Films on masks and taboos?
Amazing that anywhere oil is discovered conflict errupts and the UN and Europeans have to move in and keep the peace?
I'm very interested, a White African in the South.
Thank you for the compliment.
We would love to make films on all of these topics but it's a question of resources. Keep watching though. ✊🏿
God protect you 🤲
Thank you family!
West Sahel is a treasure of history, beautiful people & art!!! My favorite region of all the African continent since I was very young. Especially Niger & Mali are the best countries to meet the authentic sudano-sahelian Africa.
But I didn't knew that the Great Mosque of Djenne was such a so new building. I thought all that time, it was a medieval or a between 1400's and 1700's building. Also I have read in Greek the history of the Dogon, they are great people & maybe their ancestors had connections to the named "Greek Gods". They described them as beautiful extraterrestrials on star-ships!!! As about their knowledge of the universe & especially the Sirius star system... it's amazing. How can they know so many things about that star system??? I read that some of the Dogon are believing that they are coming from that star system. But as we know, the Sirius star system is just a binary system of 2 very hot stars, not a planetary system.
15:30 I wonder how far back it goes!!
Do you have any docs on Aksum?
Not yet family.
AEA Films ok cool, I had to sub after watching this vid. Will catch up on your other docs so long. Very enlightening, keep up the great work king
