We were minding our damn business, that's what we were doing.

My first thought😂😂😂😂🙏🏾
Lol facts we wasn’t fucking with no body
Lol facts
To busy not paying attention to their enemy
Answer: minding their own business and living their best lives to be exact...
Bro in the video he says that they were fighing civil wars and trading with the portuguese. I don't know if that is "living their best lives"
Ase
@@maninabush8449 that man flew here,our African ancestors never pocked their noses in anyone's Business.
@alvarez🙄 what are you talking about,am literally an African,who by the way studied the African history in and out. I don't stand by the whitewashed history,I stand by the history written by my ancestors. Bye
@alvarez I know that king Leopold killed 15 million people in congo and dicapitated thousands,I know the white man still lead to apethied in south Africa, slavery in more than 19 African states,France had a hand in the Rwandan genocide, the same group of people contributed to the lynching of people in Ghana. If you ask me,the white man really never seems to leave Africa up to day,so who is interfering in who's issues. Give me your historical perspective then.
I went to the University of Maryland, College Park, and I signed up to take an African History class, assuming I would learn stuff like what you cover in this video. Instead, the info started at the end of the 19th century with the division of Africa by European powers and their subsequent occupation of the continent. It was portrayed as if Africa didn’t have history of its own. It was very disappointing, and didn’t settle right with me.
Thanks for the video!
Yeah. Now all of a sudden they were doing big things. Weird how they devolved so quickly.
@@scruffydogbiscuit4675 not all of a sudden we been doing it lab rat
I believe you. I wrote to a UMD professor who wrote an African history book and it was all about colonialism. I actually had to educate him. This was like 8 years ago
But it don't have a history of its own because Africa is a continent many different cultures that have many different histories
@@roeb4209 cause they were of different empires hence their different cultures before they came to merge them together in colonies
Here in Zimbabwe, we were never taught history of other regions in Africa particularly West Africa and Eastern Africa , which is truly sad. We were however taught about the Mwenemutapa Empire which of course is part of the history of the country. I'm also very impressed by your pronunciations of the Shona names, which most people get totally wrong. It's a very impressive and informative video that's is well researched and done, very impressive!
Wow you have wifi there
@@euromohawk4687 Are you stupid?
The same problem exists everywhere. In American schools they teach very little about European history and even less about Eastern European history.
@@euromohawk4687 Funny joke :/ whole squad laughing why not educate yourself first before making bold accusations?
Maybe because there are too few written history so it basically become a guessing game from there, you cannot retrace important events and details of history if there's no writing, that's why we know more today about 3000 years old Egyptian history than most of african multiple ethnies history. African history is a rabbit hole from conspirationists and manipulators the less you know about it the more you'll have people who will come with their own version, history is a living science, it follows the scientific method.
Schools teach about ancient Egypt and think “welp that’s Africa covered” and we just accept it
wtf 🤣🤣🤣 true
Egypt is africa
Every curriculum is different. I was fortunate enough to learn about Mali, Songhai and Portuguese influence In global history. The details from this clip is great. This is a great immersive video.
At least y'all got atleast one thing. I never learnt shit about Pacific Island history😩 and there was so much to learn.
@What's Happening? they dont need to,if you want extracurricular course buy a book read.is like that around the world.and if you got a problem stop going to a public school bust your ass working and pay a private school to your child .is simple.instead of thinking about buying a fckng boat, trips to another city.you are speaking from a comfortable life hahha
I feel like if African history was taught in school so much of the misconceptions of Africa wouldn't be as bad. If we can learn about the Roman Empire and ancient Greece I'm pretty sure we can learn about the Mali Empire and the songhai empire.
Exactly as a kid i use to hate on my on ancestors thinkkng they dumb because im learning all the great things these other empires did. Im 20 now and barely started to educate my self on afro history
@@graveslegacy7134 very relatable. I used to think the only thing that happened to Africans Is slavery which is something most people don't want to be learning about. Luckily more black people are becoming more interested their TRUE history which is not just slavery.
DRE DRE we can brother but we are conquered people so the winning side must tell their side of “His story” history we lost and they have won until we stepped out of their way of thinking and take our free national name as Moors and build our own government and be part and parcel with this said government Noble Drew Ali brought us what it takes to save a nation trust him and follow only his instructions

jewish owned company 'Pearson Education'; however, this video is garbage and anyone who even mentions Mansa Musa is a dead give away of someone trying to reach for a documented historical achievement. There is one crude drawing where you can tell the gold was added at a later time. Yet the claims are grandiose to a laughable degree. the drawing is hilariously simple and looks like a child drew it. Sub-saharan african peoples and their history has been recorded by other peoples; they are what everyone knows them to have been; primitive, stone aged, nomadic warring tribes. Northern african peoples werent "black" and they have a longer recorded history, that has nothing to do with "africans" as black people would like to think. History is fluid and you can trace peoples and migrations; art and architecture, language and food, et cetera. There are no big missing gaps on record, only in a person's knowledge of historical events. When there is a large amount of missing information it is due to a population's lack of written record, as with the stone aged tribes of the americas, africa and islanders. As the narrator said, "according to oral traditions", when it comes to the "records" associated with those population groups. Take the tribes of papua new guinea; one being the "cargo cult". They think the airplanes are sent from their ancestors and that the white men stole them from them. They dont write about it, but carry on oral traditions. Imagine a youtube video 500 years later recounting their oral traditions of grandeur and the accuracy of their claims. We know whats what; sorry african blacks, your history simply is what it is.
Absolutely taught in world history, most of this is information that was taught in my world history AP class in Texas at my high school in 10th grade.
It’s a shame. People would LOVE for us to believe that our history started as us being slaves.

As a white european I'm only just starting to learn the extensive and interesting history of africa. As someone who was always very interested in history it really shows me how whitewashed history has been and how overlooked the amazing achievements of african cultures are. Thank you very much for this video and educating people.
What were these 'amazing achievements' again?
Whitewashing is a term that attempts to exonerate African form their part in the slave trade. They started it a ran it 700 years before the African slave trade.
@White man invented everything Oh, you mean like black powder and higher mathematics *hrmpph*
You cant tell me 1 thing that is whitewashed and i can tell you several that are blackwashed :)) you filth of the race
@White man invented everything that you cant tell me one historical fact that is claimed by whites but in reality is not theirs but i can give you many examples how black people steal others history and culture.

True and we as Africans know our enemy
Your a smart man. I tell people that samething all the time.
Damn
That is correct.......that is what is happening with this dumbass video.
In school we're taught American history, European history, even the history of other countries. But not when it comes to Africa or black inventors, or contributors to this country. It's made to look like we're just here along for the ride. This is why we need to educate ourselves.
I never knew till a few years ago that there were African explorers. That went to the Caribbean ad well as South and Central America.
In addition, we're not shown how developed Africa is. What's shown is unrest and the Serengeti. Did anyone know that The Moors ruled Spain from
792- 1492. That's why Columbus set sail.
The same in Europe, mostly European and American history 😑 almost nothing about Africa or India (my birth country)
@@truth803 Ask what??
Is it Eurocentric His story?!?!? Ancient America is never taught in American schools. 🤣😂
@d. Max not really, but play the victim I guess
It's a Huge Gap in History missing involving Black people that was the erased part
Was not taught African History in school, but if it had been taught , I would have loved for you to had taught it .. Thank you sir
This is a legit question: Where did you go to school? In Africa? Or elsewhere?
I love your channel, when I was a kid and ignorant to why mostly European history was taught it always puzzled me until I became an adult and learnt more about the constructs put in place. So when I see anything African Native American etc basically stuff I was never taught it blows my mind everytime.
I wished this was taught back when I was in school. All we got was mostly about slavery, the civil Rights movement, and the civil war if you were lucky.
Afrika Smith. The first economic and military alliances between African tribes and Europe were made by the Portuguese navy, before the Spanish and the English. Portugal made an empire from North Africa to Japan based on trade, not on territory conquest. That came later.
This is very well known by historians, but not by the public in general, because Portugal does not play the major league nowadays, and unfortunately, African countries have much to worry than past history.
They don't teach New Zealand history in New Zealand. We only learn that there was a treaty and everything else is ignored.
In my school they rarely talk about history and when they do they just talk about world war and some of my class mates even say that I was teaching them because of the information I know about history
Afrika Smith, well in Africa esp Kenya we are taught world history... I mean WORLD HISTORY. By the time you leave High School esp if you continue with it in your 2 final years, you can lecture at a University.
@@monjier 😔 sad.
The Mali empire is so interesting it doesn't get nearly enough recognition in my opinion
It's because it was isolated from everyone else and we don't know much about them. They had connections with other empires, but those connections were very loose. If you were near the Mediterranean you were in the center of most civilizations. Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greek City-States, Roman Empire, Islamic Empire, Persia and many many more fought for the same land and resources. Even China had better connections and they are even further away.
@@SerjEpic true. And the massive desert btw Mali and the ancient world serving as an obstacle obviously didn't help..
@@vibrations69 true but that alone is not the only or even main reason
I think the first problem you face with anything related to African history or culture (including the Mali Empire) is lack of documentation and overall recording of events. Most of what know about the history of Africa is through oral traditions or through foreign writers like Arabs or Europeans who visited. Arabs especially have made a lot of writings about the Mali Empire and thoroughly described it.
Adam O It’s because they’re black they don’t teach about black success
History is meant to guide and to let us know where we are coming from.
Listening and viewing your content is a significant approach in letting us know our history even thou we weren't thought in school i.e I am from Nigeria and when I was growing up, I was thought Current Affairs and not History. But as time goes by, i came to an understanding that Current Affairs is different from History. History tells us where we are coming from while Current Affairs tells us where we currently are in history but it doesn't give in details about History itself.
Thanks for this video.
It's an eye opener for me.

Sometimes Africa being talked about like it is a country, when it is a continent. When I was growing up, it was said that Africa is the richest Continent, but I suppose, the people don’t know it’s worth. Oil in the ground, diamond,ivory , gold, silver you name it, but the people that knew of its value Well well well
@scorpyus4ever keep in mind most african nations just gained independence bin the past 60 years
As Economics teaches us, the only resource that matters is the Human Resource. Gold, oil, diamonds, etc - they are all just commodities, sold at the price set by the lowest cost producer.
Mansa Musa read about him peace brother
@scorpyus4ever Why would you even say that? You just called all African countries dull, lazy and violent! No... That's like me saying the Americas are nothing but drug dealing dictators with no value for human life. Again, Africa is not a country... Fyi, IQ follows a normal distribution curve everywhere; whether Europe, Asia, the Americas or (yes) Africa.
@scorpyus4ever - Exactly.
I am from Kenya, I learnt part of this history in my primary school level. This history seems to get lost in the higher levels of learning. Besides history, we need to expose the inventions and other contributions that the black man has offered to humanity. No one else is going to speak for us. Our history and contribution has been stolen, hidden or manipulated over the generations.
What example of contributions and inventions?
Did you know that the brown eyes made arithmetic and have Europeans the alphabet?
Or maybe nobody gave a shit....that’s a good possibility too.

1. Coffee - as a beverage originated from Ethiopia in the 10th Century BC
2. Modern Art - The world ignores the fact that African art greatly inspired European artists like Picasso, Matisse, Kirchner and others.
3. Iron Age - Our Iron sculptures prove that Iron Age in Africa pre-dates European Iron Age. Africa lept from Stone Age right into Iron Age while Europe was still in Bronze Age. Iron Age smelting facilites discovered in Nigeria date back to 2000BC
4.Mathematics - The Lebombo bone from Swaziland and Ishango bone from Uganda are the worlds oldest mathematical objects. The Ishango bones date 8500BC and proves Maths was birthed in Africa. These bones have series over calculations carved on them.
5. Music - Every musical element - Rhythm, Harmony, melody, timbre and basic forms of Jazz is African in background and derivation 6.Mummification - started in Africa. Started in South Western Libya in 5600BC 7. Irrigation- Started in Africa. The oldest Irrigation scheme has been traced to Engaruka in Tanzania done in the 15th Century
8.Architecture - The stone structures of Zimbabwe date 11th Century BC, built without mortar!
9.Astronomy - The Dogon people of west Africa since ancient times had their own systems of astronomy, calendrical measurements, calculation methods, anatomical and physiological knowledge. The Dogon knew about Sirius B prior to western civilization
10.Metallurgy - African metallurgy predates other civilizations. Artifacts from the Yoruba and ancient Congo proves this.
11. Surgery- The Banyoro people of
Uganda used to perform C section before the arrival of the white man in the 19th C as recorded by an eyewitness British explorer Robert Felkin
12. Writing - Hieroglyphics done by the Nilotic tribes discovered in the Nile Valley predate Greece and Rome

Your voice is so calming, and this is all so interesting. As a South African, I still find it strange that we were taught so little about African history
Edit: I went to school after apartheid ended, meaning the ANC was (and still is) in power, meaning they have control over what is taught in schools.
It’s tragic how, instead of using their power to empower the nation through things like including more education about Africa and making learning more African languages such as Zulu or isiXhosa accessible, they’ve simply focused on breaking DOWN the quality of education in schools.
I always thought it odd that, after 12 years in school, the only languages I was exposed to were English and Afrikaans within the school syllabus, despite the fact that we have ELEVEN national languages. There was also absolutely no schooling on helping us understand the wealth of cultural diversity.
And again, those in power with the ability to control and shape what we learned were not white. Which was the point of my original statement. Insinuations that “it’s by design to push a western agenda” are dumb, because the heads of the education department were and remain black. If you are a South African, you’ll know how poorly our education system is being handled, and how it isn’t a tool for empowerment as it should be, which I see as an utter betrayal of the ANC’s original promises to us, their people.
I just feel history as a whole isn't taught enough.
In school I was taught a lot about apartheid but I don't remember a lot of anything else.
Sure there were some references to great Zimbabwe, Mark Shuttleworth, Shaka and the world wars.
There was never context, why was Germany attacking the allies, where did Germany even come from? Who's Prussia is it like Russia?
I never knew Namibia was a province of South Africa until I looked more into the world wars. I never knew Ethiopia was a Christian country for a longer time than a lot of western counties.
So yeah, I feel history in schools is not only inadequate at portraying events in Africa but the world as a whole.
If I can find out more about the world in 4 years online than 12 years I paid for school I think I should be entitled to a refund.
I do think other people are starting to think the same way however, many people that play history games have started to name African nations as some of the most interesting and fun to play. Such as Butua and songhai in EU4, Abysinnia and Hausaland in Ck3 etc.
It was a evil agenda to hide everything from us B1.
@@afrovarangian I think this was done intentionally. Right now the motto is "history is not important. You can't change history. Focus on the now, and work for the future."

And we are 'kept busy' by focusing on the things we are told are 'important' by those who started this narrative. Which is the europeans.

As an East African, I know thru oral history that we were cultured folks, with tribal chiefs and systems of government. We traded with neighbours and settled disputes in local courts led by chiefs of the different villages. Men, Women and Children roles were well defined. Life was simple but elegant in its own right.

There are deeper issues going on. A lot of black people in the US hate on white people and think they're the main cause of all bad things in the world. Attacks on white people are ignored by mainstream media but they happen. White people tired of all this want to prove that Africa had the same issues today, or was worse, before whites came along.
Then there are white Americans who treat black people like they're a dumb race and can't accomplish anything, because they're in poverty more than anyone else in America. Some racists point to the problems of Africa today as evidence that black people are genetically inferior. For this and other reasons there's a lot of fighting about how Africa used to be.

@@jalousy100k7 i feel bad that a white teenager stepped into a diaspora discussion as if they had any place here. But that’s the colonizer in you. Stay in your place, Chad. The strife that exists within the black diaspora is your fault. Stfu
Also, who said I’m african ameeican? I feel bad that white people think every black person not in Africa is african American. Did you know only 5% of the slaves you all dragged from Africa were taken to the USA? The vast majority were taken to the Caribbean and South America.
Im surprised you didn’t know that since you know so much.
You left me on the brink of wanting more. The lingering desire to know more, more, more about my ppl. Thank you for the work you do.👏

Africans never felt the need to leave their homeland to find a "promised land" because they were already blessed with everything they needed. Mansa Musa is symbolic of all the various groups across the continent sitting on top of all kinds of gold, silver, minerals and everything else, so why would they want to leave. And of course they knew what gold had value as they have been working it and using it for a very long time. The connection between West African legends from the Mali Empire and the gold of Mansa Musa is partly the reason why the Spanish wanted to find the mysterious lands of gold in the Americas. And it is this gold that is another reason that Europeans wanted to conquer and colonize because Europe is a tiny place and not blessed with all the land and resources of Africa, Asia or the Americas.
Good stuff. Keep it up. Rich diverse history should include EVERY people and region
11:14 For those Confused when he was talking about how Negus Eskender the Ethiopian King was Christian he mean't Coptic Christian which is separate from the Roman Catholic Church and the many Protestant offshoots as it is closer to the original Christianity in the Levant, Ethiopia was one of the only places in the world to never become Colonized and there is still a very strong Coptic Christian population there today.

This is one of the best formats of teaching African history I’ve ever come across.
Honestly
The best format is called "honest own investigation". Video presentations are entertaining enough to take away from us the need of revise what is being told to us through it. And that is too much of a risk.
If you are from the western world then thats the history you should mainly be taught with less detail on the history of other parts of the world unless the event happening in those places is very significant. I think people from Africa should also learn more about African history and less about western history

Its funny how everyone is African experts in the comments.
Lol truth
Jamal Al-Uqdah most of the black men and women here arnt from Africa so it isn’t anywhere near there family or there culture. Super racist to say I have something to do with Ireland or Poland I mean why because I’m white? Irish and polish are pretty different people, they have distinct cultures. It would be disrespect and lacking honor to pretend to hold something close to them just because some of my genetics come from a VAST and diverse section of that continent.
I mean that’s all race based right?? All genetics? That’s racism. I mean technically then I have African genetics because all humans are based from that continent.
Man they been holding us down brother, shout out my great great great great great great great uncle homawanatumbay. He was a good guy

Peter Turner id argue that mostly whites would be called european much like blacks are considered african I dunno why we cant just accept that where all planet earthers but thats just me
There's Pyramids in the Americas also oil and gold, God's people were circumcised without all the piercings
Ice well I figure that when there isn’t anything bigger than the flesh or the world to bring us together, then we focus on those things and there little deference’s because it’s all we have.
There's something so magical about history. Especially for those of us who were lucky enough to have good history teachers as a kid! I remember in middle school my history teacher was so enthusiastic and energetic with the way she described history she wasn't reading out of a textbook she was really telling a story and we all got captivated by her enthusiasm. That's how history should be taught. Not by memorizing a bunch of dates out of a textbook.
That's why I use to love history as a kid. Eventually it got boring to me.

First off Africa is a continent not an ethnic group...
A point not to be forgotten for sure. A very large, geographically and ethnically diverse one, yet, in the course of global events, one whose nations share a general past period of absolute European colonization and destructuring, and still struggle to free themselves from various force imposed situations of the most cruel exploitative economic colonialism; where do most of the famines happen? A now Euro-American colonialism that when it has murdered a champion of African nation's economic freedom and bombed a prosperous nation into bloody dust, cackles "We came. We saw. He died", claps it's hands, and laughs. In that context, some reference to "Africans" as a whole can be useful, without at the same time forgetting it's limits.

@Cooters BBQ A lot of truth spoken here. I hope you're just real and not one of the ones who has something against other colours.
Pure facts spoken either way
I am from cabo verde, ex Portuguese colony. I'm very familiar with the Portuguese which were the first European country to start colonization in Africa, and later on, other European empires followed. I never knew the king of Congo at the time asked the Portuguese for help and that it was for that reason he converted to Christianity. Which allowed the whole process of colonization to start ... Now, a quick pop culture reference, Kanye west once said "slavery was a choice" and everybody went nuts, he wasn't that wrong!

Good video my brother
It is great to learn about the history and importance of other cultures. I am white and live in the US and it’s crazy how I have never been exposed to any history and culture that doesn’t relate to the United States. I have only ever learned about other countries in relation to how they help or hurt the US, and I have been taught through the lens of only white people and a world that began about 500 years ago. it’s extremely unfortunate that such rich and relevant histories go unrecognized by many parts of the world. I feel so ignorant that I know absolutely nothing about most of the world. Anyways, thank you for creating this video and I hope that although unlikely, recognition can be widely brought to all of earth’s amazing cultures, histories, and people
Awesome post. Thank you.
Erin_ you are right because the educative system is restricted and most americans don't travel outside US so you need to seek for history books
It takes strength of character to be honest. Unfortunately many of your people are driven by their delusions and narcissism which requires them to be indenial. That's how schools can be sure a beacon of hope for future generations, so crucial to the development of the mind and yet be executed in a way whereas you realise you've been deceived and kept in ignorance, that automatically implies covert malevolence in the higher echelons of that institution and government, and you should believe those people in those places operate with a eurocentric paradigm that benefits Europe (whether the benefits be small or great in scale...but when we talk about communities small benefits usually amount to bigger ones if no crime has been done to interrupt that progression (which is why black market crime is more of a focus for white society than white collar crime).
Erin _ well said. I feel the same way. Because of being black here in the states, all of the history and culture of Africa was definitely hidden.
Don’t kick yourself that hard. It is practically that same in Europe as well. Herodotus, the historian wrote about Blacks from the Caucasus with their roots to the Narts(now centred around Abkhazia-Afro-Abkhzians) over 2000 years ago, Athenes, Crete and Italian islands have their share of native blacks for over 2000 years. Only Turkey proudly shows and writes about its native blacks as ancient citizens. In Austria-Turkish war 1716-1718 the mighty Turkish army consisted of 30,000 black Turks fighting alongside other Turks. Remember that the sub-continent Europe suffered so much in the Middle Ages to get rid of its impoverished over populated Europe. It isn’t nice to remind the rest of the world about the past Oliver Twist poverty stricken lifestyle in present day history of Europe. It may not be fair to underrate European achievements. Europe has achieved at lot in just 500 years. I am not hear to justify the means of achievement which was really dark!!
Literally everybody made it there before Columbus. Vikings, Africans, Asains..buy the last to the party is the one that said they discovered it
Minus Africa kang
Mtpimenta nah... they where an invading species like kudzu that threw off the eco-system... if we want to be honest and argue this point
Mtpimenta wow u got all the facts wrong... did you not watch the video.. Africans created the system of measurement. Algebra created by an African Moor is standard for measuring.. you are confused
Mtpimenta John Baldwin wrote in his book “PreHistoric Nations” (1869): “The early colonists of Babylonia were of the same race as the inhabitants of the Upper Nile.”
Mtpimenta More Than 50 Million Brazilians Live in poverty. You’re glad whites colonized Brazil? What good did that do?
Wow!... Great Video... So many stories that have not been told.
Love your content bro and your intro
Europe learned so much from moorish occupation after so many hundreds of years that once they started conquering they never allowed African continental ambitions to grow as far as it once it did...
*"They never allowed," who tf needed their permission? This is the problem with black men, always failing to deal with reality & taking the victim stance!!!*
True this was further enhanced by colonisation and slavery
The problem with the Moors, which were the most powerful blacks, is that their Muslim and Arabic religion made them vulnerable for a number of reasons. They fucked outside their race, and interbred, whose offsprings claim to European power, caused strife and distrust, poisoning and killing their half brothers. That's a simplistic view, and they were too content, and never thought they would lose power. They controlled most of Western Europe, and revered, and ended up marrying out of their race, and no trace of their lineage, except their coat of arms in Germany, Austria, Italy and many other European countries. And it still happens today with many or most wealthy blacks. They marry out of their race!! The same thing in Egypt, Greece, Italy, and present day
@@riflechess7693 ahh what's your problem brother...just an expression. If you and I playing bball 1v1...and I don't allow you to score in the paint how is that not having a handle on reality.

Read the book : "they came before Columbus" by ivan van sertima. He talks about african visiting the Americas by ship way before the Vikings or Columbus.
That has nothing to do with the topic. Many of us know this already
Crazy thing about it is that wipipo disregard it as pseudo. Now I expect them to view it that way but it kills me when other melanted folks have that mentality too.
The Olmecs were not Black people. Those stone heads only share a superficial resemblance to Black people.
Here's how the Olmec likely looked:

What's happening sis it's me the "Nobody". Hellafied crossover on the information. I've never even heard of Ivan and I love it when I get shut down. I guess I have more studying to do. However check out Merkabah the first series alone still has me going over it again. It's a 6 hour session so if you have a hectic schedule look at it in increments. Thanks again and as always love one another
ONE
@@CrowdPleeza the Olmecs spoke the Mende language, which is the same language spoken in West Africa. And BBC confirmed that the oldest human remains in South America came from an African woman named Luzia, so it's not that hard to believe that the first major civilization in South America was founded by Black people. Especially not when you consider the fact that Africans were the first to sail the world.
Sailing across the Meditteranean is one thing, but sailing the Atlantic to unknown destinations is a different matter altogether.
To make the point the text should have read, "by the 1400's the Muslim nations had a trade network and settlements which reached as far away as the Philippines." It was not only sailing the Mediterranean. It is possible that they crossed the Atlantic it would be cool to find the hard evidence.
But being that they were in contact with Polynesians they would have at least known information of the Pacific too. And the Polynesians reached the West Coast of South America.
We live in the pacific and our oral history is about sailing from tanganika in africa.
You never lied. But the ancient and middle men did it somehow.
Many nations came to the Americas because Columbus. I fact he never set foot on what is now the USA.
I think you misunderstood my point. The way the French and other colonists reached other parts of the African continent was by sailing along the coast. Transatlantic travel is another thing entirely. To take away credit from intrepid explorers like Columbus is ignorant.

@@MrTopshotta15 I never did something always felt off . Always felt like I was being brainwashed I started to hate school in prek and was even spanked as a kid. The doctrine in public school never felt right felt sinister.
Jaimie Free I was raised as a Christian all my life teen life pretty much forced really never had a choice. But Always questioned everything because I always felt that things didn’t make sense. The more I researched and diversified my self the more things started to make sense. We only know and believe what we are taught to weather it’s the truth or not so I reprogrammed my mind. Everyone is controlled by there emotions and I think that is the key about a lot of things in our life our emotional state.
Me too!

Can you do something on the Barbary coast pirates, you know the north Africans, that took and sold black and white people to the Arab Muslims....
True.....they have an anti-western and anti-white narrative like blm and never tell the truth or distort the real facts!!
Islam has dominated the African slave trade for more than a thousand years, and still does today.
