Who Were The Zanj/Zanji? Primary Sources, Descriptions and Comparisons::Part One Inyenyenzi 2024-10-18 | This is Part One of a Two Part Series on identifying the Zanj/Zanji. Part One::Primary Sources, Descriptions and ComparisonsPart Two::Location and EtymologyThe identity of the Zanj has always been clear and well-documented for anyone willing to consult primary sources, such as the writings of Al Jahiz an influential Afro-descended scholar, writer, philosopher, and polymath from Basra and Al-Masudi, a leading geographer during the Abbasid Caliphate. The narrative that associates the Zanj with East African Bantu populations was largely promoted by European historians. When Europeans arrived in Africa, they encountered the Zanj living in Bantu regions and, based on assumptions or statements from locals who had forgotten their origins, concluded that the Zanj had always been there. This contributed to the misconception that Africa was a place where people lacked historical awareness.However, we do know our history—it is preserved in our languages and in sources that predate European influence.Subtitles are included this time(so proud of this one)Sources -Al Jahiz - scribd.com/doc/141634408/Al-Jahiz-The-Glory-Superiority-of-Blacks-Over-WhitesAl Masudi(English Translation) - scribd.com/document/367933048/Masudi-Meadows-of-Gold-Vol-1-English-TransAl Masudi(Arabic) - loc.gov/item/2021666164David Livingstone - gutenberg.org/files/1039/1039-h/1039-h.htmSupport This research and channel (Thank You) - ko-fi.com/yenzi
What Did Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Amenhotep & SobekNeferus Names Really Sound Like? Inyenyenzi 2024-10-03 | For centuries, it has been widely accepted that the Ancient Egyptian language is extinct—a belief based on incomplete research and Eurocentric perspectives. However, this assumption overlooks critical linguistic comparisons between Ancient Egyptian and living languages in Africa, particularly those spoken south of the Sahara. Evidence points to the existence of close linguistic ties between these languages and Ancient Egyptian, suggesting that the language has lived on through the region's oral traditions and cultural exchanges. These connections also reveal that the region known as "Pawantu," "Pwnt," or "Punt"—the fabled ancestral homeland of the Ancient Egyptians—was likely situated in sub-Saharan Africa, linking the roots of Egyptian civilization directly to its southern neighbors.This video seeks to open a groundbreaking discussion on how the Ancient Egyptian language likely sounded when spoken, using comparative linguistics from African languages. By revisiting the phonetics, vocabulary, and names from this ancient culture, we aim to uncover how the names of gods, kings, and cities were originally pronounced, offering a more authentic reconstruction of Egypt's linguistic heritage.If you'd like to support this channel, please buy us a Ko-fi at this link - ko-fi.com/yenzi
The Purpose Of the Shaka Zulu Narrative Inyenyenzi 2024-09-24 | The narrative of Shaka as a violent tyrant emerged years after his death, primarily through the writings of Nathaniel Isaacs and Henry Fynn, both of whom had questionable motives and personal interests in the region. Their exaggerated accounts served British colonial ambitions, portraying Shaka as responsible for the "Mfecane" and depopulation of lands that the British sought to control. The video also highlights the political tensions surrounding the Boers' migration, the British Ordinance 50, and the complex relationships between African leaders and colonial powers during this period.If you like this content you can help the research and support this channel by buying us a Ko-fi at - ko-fi.com/yenziSources Wylie, Dan. “‘Proprietor of Natal:’ Henry Francis Fynn and the Mythography of Shaka.” History in Africa 22 (1995): 409–37. doi.org/10.2307/3171924.Isaacs, Nathaniel - Travels and Adventures in Eastern Africa... archive.org/details/travelsadventure01isaa/page/n1/mode/1upFynn, Henry Francis - The Diary of Henry Francis Fynnarchive.org/details/the-diary-of-henry-francis-fynn-1950.pdf/page/n117/mode/2upLegassick, Martin Chatfield, and Robert Ross. “Griqua Expansionism, II: Church and State at Griquatown and Philippolis, 1836 – 1842.” In The Politics of a South African Frontier: The Griqua, the Sotho-Tswana and the Missionaries, 1780-1840, 266–91.

Reasons For Reassessing African History:: The Cape Colony, Mfecane, Mercenaries, Apartheid :: Final Inyenyenzi 2024-08-09 | The reassessment of African history highlights significant issues in the way the continent's past has been documented and interpreted. Historically, much of African history was written by non-African scholars who often lacked direct consultation with African cultural custodians. This approach has led to misinterpretations and a narrative that many find misleading and offensive. Crucially, it has overlooked the intricate relationships between African languages and cultures. By re-engaging with indigenous knowledge systems and consulting those who hold cultural heritage, historians aim to create a more accurate and respectful account of Africa's rich and diverse past.

The Bantu Migration Never Happened, It Was A Nilo-Saharan(Zanj) Invasion :: Part I Inyenyenzi 2024-05-23 | The adoption of this inaccurate Bantu Migration theory has been a result of ignoring African History before European Imperialism, which explains the origins and conditions that led to the formation of many of the modern ethnic groups in Africa.The presence of the Proto-Bantu in Southern Africa as early as 3000 BCE, throws the entire Bantu Migration theory out the window, because this theory states that the people speaking Bantu languages began migrating out of West-Central Africa in approximately 400 CE.It’s not a pretty story, many won’t like it, but begins to explain proclivities, loyalties and why things are how they are.If you'd like to show your support for the creation of these videos, you can give to out kofi here :: ko-fi.com/yenziThanks for watching

Hidden Southern African History: When Mzilikazi Assassinated The Pharaoh Inyenyenzi 2024-03-15 | In mid-1838, Mzilikazi is credited with leading the destruction of a Kingdom that was left to become a footnote in history. Mzilikazi was instructed by Robert Moffat to instruct his trusted Induna to lead a horde of women and children including Mzilikazi's teenage heir to a specific location in modern day Zimbabwe, trouble is, this location was within the boundaries of the oldest Kingdom in Southern Africa. According to the fragmented narrative, the Ndebele arrived and that was it. But that wasn't it. This region was within the Proto-Bantu Kingdom, that was almost two thousand years old that tied Southern Africa to Ancient Egypt. After the attack, Mzilikazi ensured no one talked about this atrocity hoping it would forgotten with time. As for Robert Moffat, he never named these people, only reported the story as a tragic footnote in history. Emill Holub's detailed writing helped piece together what Mzilikazi and Moffat did. This video is a summary of the hidden destruction of the Proto-Bantu Kingdom in Southern Africa.
