Corrections - The Omani Ruling Family was the Yaruba Dynasty, not the Yoruba. Sometimes I say 17th Century but the timeline says 1700s. Forgot to put Burundi and Rwanda as Belgian after WW1.

I gotta be honest my jaw dropped when I realized that this wasn't a podcast or something like it and realized its a documentary. Three and a half fucking hours of detailed African history, fully scripted, and well articulated. Just spectacular!

I love how long your videos are. I'm a truck driver over the road and it's so nice not to have to change videos every 10-15 minutes!!

I love any video on the history of Africa but your videos are fantastic. They don’t paint Africans as weak, ignorant “others”, nor do they rewrite history as portray Africans as ancient superior humans. They portray Africans as being as important and equal to human history as every other group of people. There was so much going on throughout the planet pre-Euro/American dominance (let’s say 1600 to the present) and Africa is usually always left out of that conversation.

This is a masterpiece. Nothing on youtube compares to this. There is nothing more concise or thorough i can find about the recorded history of africa. Its 3hrs plus long yet sharp to the point. And it just enough to fill in anyones blacks and que further research. Truly the finest creation ive seen. Wow man👏
-
The most comprehensive history of the scramble for Africa ever released on video, and one that doesn't rely on basic narratives and tropes. Truly a historiographical triumph.
-
As a black man in the southern USA, this definitely gave me a lot to think about. This is an existential reality check.
-
Oh my god finally. There's so little information about African history before European colonization. I've been trying to find info on 18th century Africa and previously to no avail. Thanks for the video.

Your work on a vast and under-understood area is greatly appreciated. I've never seen such a work on any part of Africa outside of carthage or Eygpt

loved this video very much. I'm a very proud Somali and was pleasantly surprised at how generally accurate your information was. Often Somali history is overlooked when discussing pan African history I'm glad this wasn't the case in this video. You very skilfully provided generally holistic and contextual history of the continent for those 400 hundred years. you even created links between different regions demonstrating you depth in knowledge. Keep up the good work

Thank you for such an informative video! I am ADOS living in Senegal and having a source explaining exactly who did what to whom helps me put into context what I already thought I knew from my own research and observations. Congratulations on a job well done!
-
I'm absolutely amazed at how detailed this is. I'll need weeks to even begin to properly digest this information. Bravo, sir and thank you. This is humbling.

After watching that in the background while playing age of empires, i realized how much i didn't know about colonial african history even though i pride myself as someone who does, and how i literally learnt 4 years worth of university education in nearly 4 hours, excellent job Jabzy 💪
-
awesome work. This an important period in history, that no one else on youtube has managed to cover in anywhere close to this amount of depth. It was a great series and now its all in one place
-
Amazing video! Thank you so much for covering this sweep of African history. This is my second time watching and I'm still just as glued to it, discovering new things about nations I'd barely heard of before.
-
I cant imagine how long this must've taken you to make. Thank you so much. Crazy how detailed this is.
-
Never did i hear anyone speaking about Africa,than Africans themselves.Great man!
-
Thank you as a historian myself I think it’s so important to tell more of sub-Saharan African history… It is not my forte/time and area of expertise and while I know more than the average person my knowledge of this region an it’s history is pitiful for my standards (for myself).
-
What a work. Thank you so much for this. Obviously running through the entire huge continent in only (ha!) 3 1/2 hours meant skimming through things. But just wow. Thank you so much for this riveting documentary. It could be my all time favourite ... so far that is. Thanks again.

Amazing! The most knowledgeable and informative case study about Africa History I ever came across until now! I have learnt more watching this video than all what I have been told in school or by others. In 3 hours of video you created a masterpiece that should be an compulsory case study in Africa history education. I salute you for this amazing case study you put together! Well done!
