White folk jealous as hell in the comments.
Great documentary so far though.
You got the source to this?
Let those Miserable Muthafukkkas keep hating.
Iron work in Africa, especially West Africa and Central Africa goes back THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
Germanic "Whites" had a "Late Bronze Age"(Nordic Bronze Age), starting AFTER the African, and "Mediterranean" Bronze Ages began.
West Africa didn't even have a Bronze Age, just went straight to Iron working.
They are always spying anything related to black people and history or archaeology, because they've built their entire self-esteems based on "If we didn't do something, then there is no way that black people did it...Look at now, we're doing better and that shows it that it has always been like this".
When in reality, whites really didn't do anything alone. They didn't pioneer any scientific concept on their own. Everything(from architecture, agriculture to science) they brag when discussing with other groups, can always be traced to groups outside of Europe. Every single thing. They simply prey on the fact that many people are visuals, shortsighted and analyze things based on now, completely disregarding history.
For instance, they will be showing you the white house and similar structures as proof of European architecture, when none of that is European. You have similar buildings in the Arabias, dating to 2000 BP, 2500 BP etc. However, similar buildings in Europe date from the past 200-600 years. So, how did they invent something, that shows up 1st in other regions?
Black people pioneered way more indigenous concepts, in any field, than whites did.
If you are not blinded by poor optics, you can easily see the origins of everything they brag as not being indigenous to them.
In most of their buildings, you will always see cornices, pediments, columns, pillars etc, and none of these architectural features were developed by Europeans. Even more recent things, like archivolts
Or, you will have one them discussing with you and telling you that black people didn't invent agriculture. You then give him a list of crops that were domesticated independently in Africa(Sorghum, cowpea beans, millet, yam, palm nuts, kola nuts), and then ask him to do the same with Europe...Lmao, crickets, deflections, "look at now", but they never answer why Europeans failed to change the genetics of any agricultural crops around them.
Breh,
For real, they were literally LATE to the "Civilization" Party.
But keep on lying to the world as if they started this Shyt, SMH!
That is why All Black Folks, need to study history.
The more you know about Actual World History, the less they can Bullshyt you.
i first heard about it from a video on youtube with dr. charles finch and it is mentioned on the wikipedia articles about steel and iron metallurgy in africa the with citations.
