Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of ancient civilizations continues with a video on the Kingdom of Nubia - a rich civilization that started during the Bronze Age as Kerma and then became one of the first Christian realms, forming a unique brand of this religion based on local traditions. This kingdom in the heart of Africa managed to keep its faith despite Muslim expansion and even stemmed it for a time.

    Holllywood: We will empower black people by puting them in european lore and history. Black people: But we have our own history and our own kingdoms Hollywood: Nah you are going into european's history movies

    I’m a proud Nubian from a village called Kusha, Sudan.. and I thank you very much for this. We still have our language alive and write it with a modified greek alphabet.

    As an anthropology student, I've been screaming at the top of my lungs attempting to get people to notice Nubia/Kush, to understand that they deserve just as much credit and attention as Egypt. For years in my undergrad every time I would attempt to do research projects on them or presentations, I was shut down and told "they aren't big enough, the stories aren't true" despite all the research that says otherwise. Finally, Finally people are noticing. I legit want to cry. I hope that this is just the tip of the iceberg for acknowledgement

    I must say, being a Sudanese Nubian, I'm very thankful to King and Generals for shinning light on my Country's amazing history. Thank you guys! Keep up the great work
  • Kings and Generals bringing into light the most interesting videos on history. The best channel ever for all buffs.
  • I pray for the Almighty Algorithm for the monetization of this video and the well being of the team.
  • @WRAnglican
    It would be interesting to know how Christian Nubia interacted with the other African Christian kingdom in Ethiopia.
  • @kasino007
    I can't speak for others, but as an African American I feel something so valuable to these type of stories. Growing up in school we were shown Roots and Glory and that's about it. To hear these stories about these Kingdoms in Africa are enriching to my soul. From my heart, thank you Kings & Generals and everyone involved with producing these videos.
  • I must say, being of African decent, it feels so good to be reminded of the rich culture and grand history of Africa's past. Thank you so much for making this video, and the future ones you have planned on the African Kingdoms. It's hard to find documentaries highlighting this history, so you have done us a great honor by featuring Africa's past.

    "The first widespread construction of pyramids in close to 2,000 years." And that itself is well over 2,000 years ago. Crazy.
  • @desidark1243
    Both African and Indian history is criminally underrated and in my humble opinion, both of them are much older and exciting civilizational stories.
  • I feel very impressed for 2 reasons. Firstly, in Greece we have never been taught about subsaharian African civilisations and I believe that there are many things to learn about. Secondly, it's impressive how Greek language and a part of Greek civilization reached modern day Sudan, via religion. Keep up the good work guys! You're great!
  • Definitely more African history. Its neigh impossible to find videos on African civilizations. Thank you.
  • @hiimryan2388
    Gotta give them credit, they beat the Arabians when everyone else just melted
  • @Numba003
    Weren't the Nubians rather famous in the ancient world for their archers? I didn't realize they were so staunchly Christian for so long. This is good timing as we talked about Cush in my Bible Study class this morning too lol. Thank you for the fascinating video! Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you, friends. ✝️ :)
  • YES, mali, ethiopia, the swahili, songhai, morocco, IM SUPER HYPED FOR THE NEW SERIES
  • @CoqPwner
    I've learned more about the History of Africa (pre-colonisation) in this video than in my entire education from elementary to high school to university. KInda sad, when you think about it
  • @ahmedosman7085
