 | Bantu trading network part 1 You can see the whole series from link bellow http://www.youtube.com/user/bfq3000 Piles of boulders were nestled at the summit, to be rolled down upon visitors. Here Van Graan's party found the typical remains of daily life: broken pieces of pottery, bone fragments, spindles for weaving, pieces of iron and copper. But they also found a tantalizing wealth of gold objects: a scepter covered with gold plates expertly hammered to within a five-thousandth of an inch in thickness, free from holes. A magnificent rhinoceros fashioned from gold plate tacked down with gold pins onto a core material that had long since disintegrated. There were graves bearing skeletons adorned with gold and glass beads, and wooden headdresses that had been covered with gold sheathing, as well as a superbly crafted golden bowl.... Mapunguebe quickly became the most excavated site in South Africa, but the results of these efforts went virtually unpublished since the existence of the oldest urban settlement discovered in southern Africa flatly disproved the Afrikanner myth of origins.... It's as if these rare artifacts were left so scandalously unprotected in order to facilitate their decay and disintegration, thereby relieving apartheid South Africa of the embarrassment of Mapungubwe's achievement.... After Mapunguebe, we drove to another stone settlement, this one only recently discovered: Thulamela (which means "place of giving birth"), located in the Kruger National Park. Established by the ancestors of the Shangaan, Tsonga, and Venda peoples, this settlement thrived between AD 1350 and AD 1650 and was in regular contact with traders from the great Swahili states along the coast. Today the stone-walled hilltop site is covered with ancient, sprawling baobab trees. Thulamela is clearly a part of the larger trading and Metalworking Empire associated with Great Zimbabwe and related to similar settlements found in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, and Mozambique. The contrast between the governments's handling of Thulamela and Mapunguebe could not be greater: First excavated in 1996, this site has been reconstructed from the original stones found by archaeologists from the University of Pretoria, in the atmosphere of openness created by the ANC government. People living near the site have been actively engaged in the excavation, sharing oral history with the scholars. Thulamela proves that black South Africans had evolved sophisticated mining skills long before Europeans arrived. Their metalworkers succeeded in converting iron ore into carbon steel for use in tools and weapons. -"Wonders of the African World" by Henry Louis Gates 1999 |
 | Zimbabwe's Ancient Ruins Part 1 In the heart of southern Africa stands the remains of a once mighty city, Great Zimbabwe. For hundreds of years a mysterious civilization reigned supreme here on the Zimbabwe plateau. Then suddenly, in the 16th century, it crumbled, leaving behind only a riddle: Who had built these massive walls? Obsessed with legends of a lost white civilization, a German explorer stumbled upon the ruins. Was this the legendary city of Sheba, he thought, whose queen captured the heart of King Solomon? Fifty years later, an archaeologist in her quest for the truth unearthed an even more remarkable past. Had Great Zimbabwe been the center of a powerful black culture, one of the greatest cities of its time? This idea sparked furious debate and was responsible for overturning centuries of bias about Africans and their history. |

 | Arab or African? The Swahili part 1 This video talks about people coming from all over the world to Africa and taught Africans arts and crafts. The article in this link http://www.jstor.org/pss/529465 talks about the high level of sophistication these people had in metallurgy, carbon steel! Some of the most advanced technologies in ancient times have been shown to develop independently by freaking Africans What if Africans went to visit Germany and taught them various arts and sciences, that would seem crazy wouldn't it :D :D :D What if In the 1950s Mathew G., an archaeologist, wrote "the architecture forms a distinct variant among the medieval Islamic culture." I assumed that the ruins of the sites I was investigating were the remains of Arab or Persian colonies along the coast... but gradually I have come to doubt: now I am beginning to think that the history of the coast in the medieval period is more easily intelligible if it was the history of an African culture gradually Islamized than if it is merely the history of Islamic colonies from the Persian Gulf." "Sometime in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries," he goes on, "the culture of the coast became integrally Islamic. But even if the culture had become Islamic, still it would seem to be Negro." The 14th century traveler Ibn Battuta said Kilwa was one of the most beautiful cities he had ever seen and the inhabitants were Zanj jet black. "Now, trek inland to the remote site of Great Zimbabwe, a fabulous "lost city," which reached its glory in the 14th century. Then, sift the sands of time to uncover the equally splendid culture of Africa's Swahili Coast. The fabulously wealthy center of the thriving gold and ivory trades until the 16th century, its cities now lie all but forgotten, buried under centuries of indifference. Reclaiming their past from a long tradition of racial prejudice and neglect, the descendants of these lost cultures are only now discovering the extraordinary achievements of Africa's indigenous civilizations. Actor Sam Waterston hosts this ten-part series that revisits ancient cultures on four continents. Dramatic re-enactments recall key historic events, and attractive location footage provides viewers with interesting information about the featured cultures. This episode looks at some of the trade routes established by the ancient, sub-Saharan tribes of Africa." |
 | The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey (14/14) A Video Clip from the MSNBC Today Show 2008© As Seen On Television (US) Today Show Crew Guest: Dr. Spencer Wells The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey / Extra Clip MSNBC Today Show SUMMARY: Dr. Spencer Wells discusses Genetic Roots with the Today Show Crew. The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey is Documentary from the National Geographic Society based on the book and work by Dr. Spencer Wells, an American geneticist and anthropologist, in which he uses techniques and theories of genetics and evolutionary biology to trace the geographical dispersal of early human migrations out of Africa. It is now known, on the basis of genetic evidence, that all humans in existence up to 60,000 years ago lived in Africa. The earliest groups of humans are believed to find their present-day descendants among the San people, a group that is now found in western southern Africa. The San are smaller than the Bantu. They have lighter skins, more tightly curled hair, and they share the epicanthal fold with the people of East Asia, such as the Chinese and Japanese. His extraordinary journey ultimately lands him in Africa where he pinpoints the birthplace of human kind. Using the latest technology in DNA research and forensic anthropology, Wells and others reconstructs the Journey of Man in a Genetic Odyssey.

 | Caravans of Gold pt 2 West Africa's empires known as the "Land of Gold" became great not only because it controlled the greatest source of gold for both Europe and Asia, but also because of its iron mining and iron manufactures, not to mention the famous University of Sankore, drawing students from all West Africa and scholars from different foreign countries. Stay tune for more videos on West Africa's empires. |
