In the past few centuries, few corners of the African Continent were quite as busy as the south. It's a winding river from the first migrations and waves of colonists in the Cape Colonies to the Rainbow Nation we know today, so let's dive in and see how it all played out!

— Lastly, looking to modern times, it's important to recognize how the COVID crisis has exacerbated massive preexisting disparities between healthcare for Black and minority communities and that of white Americans. It's not enough to just acknowledge history, we all have a responsibility to understand modern problems and work on solutions.

The African Kingdoms goes over the BOTH the Ancient and Medieval periods of African history. It is meant to be an overview.

It begins with a general look at Africa's different natural regions, before getting into Ancient Africa (the Nubians, kingdom of Axum, the smaller cultures in North and West Africa, and the Bantu migrations), and then Medieval Africa (African religion, the coming of Islam, the Ethiopian Empire, the Swahili Coast, West African Empires, the Central and Southern kingdoms), and ending with daily life, slavery, and arts and culture.

NOTE1: A part of one of our previous videos (Ancient Africa) was used for a couple of sections near the beginning
NOTE2: Ancient Egypt was covered in our last megadoc

The Medieval World Series:
https://youtube.com/playlist?l....ist=PLaWQkkziGGfcJ9n

Welcome to The Medieval World series! This series is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, this series is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. The series will be divided into 8 videos about the Medieval Period, which we call Phase 2. Once these 8 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 3, but this project will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 8 parts.

The history of Africa from ancient Africa to decolonization.

CHECK OUT MY HISTORY OF THE WORLD DOCUMENTARY THAT COVERS ALL AREAS AND TIME PERIODS:
https://youtu.be/T5PwyuzSYcs

The history of Africa is long, complex, and has often been under-appreciated by the global historical community. Africa, particularly Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes). The earliest hominids and their ancestors have been dated to around 7 million years ago, including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster— the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) remains, found in Ethiopia, South Africa, and Morocco, date to circa 200,000, 259,000, and 300,000 years ago respectively, and Homo sapiens is believed to have originated in Africa around 350,000–260,000 years ago.

Early human civilizations, such as Ancient Egypt and Carthage emerged in North Africa. Following a subsequent long and complex history of civilizations, migration and trade, Africa hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages. The last 400 years have witnessed an increasing European influence on the continent. Starting in the 16th century, this was driven by trade, including the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, which created large African diaspora populations in the Americas. In the late 19th century, European countries colonized almost all of Africa, extracting resources from the continent and exploiting local communities; most present states in Africa emerged from a process of decolonisation in the 20th century.

Prédication chrétienne : À la recherche de la vraie foi | Distinguer le vrai Christ des faux Christs

Savez-vous qui est Christ ? Si vous savez vraiment que Christ est le Sauveur venu sur terre, maintenant que les désastres s'abattent et que les derniers jours sont sur nous, pensez-vous avoir besoin d'un Sauveur ? Si vous avez besoin d'un Sauveur, savez-vous duquel vous avez besoin pour être sauvé ? Le Seigneur Jésus en personne a prophétisé : « l'avènement du Fils de l'homme », « le Fils de l'homme paraîtra », « le Fils de l'homme viendra » et « le Fils de l'homme en son jour », ce qui montre que lorsque le Seigneur revient, il S'incarne de nouveau en tant que Fils de l'homme, et qu'il s'agit là de l'apparition de Christ devant l'humanité. Le Seigneur Jésus a également prophétisé que, dans les derniers jours, de faux Christs viendraient tromper les gens. Savez-vous comment distinguer le vrai Christ des faux Christs ? Savez-vous comment accueillir le Sauveur ? Ces questions sont liées à la réussite ou à l'échec des gens dans la foi, et à leur issue et leur destination finales ! Cet épisode de À la recherche de la vraie foi vous aidera à chercher la vérité pour trouver des réponses à ces questions.
