History
In this video, we take an in-depth look at the ancient Tichitt culture of West Africa and examine how it supports the groundbreaking theories of historian and anthropologist Cheikh Anta Diop. Diop argued that African civilizations were far more advanced than often recognized, with Africa’s history frequently overlooked or misunderstood. According to his model, many modern West African populations trace their roots back to the Nile Valley (the Hapi River basin), having migrated over millennia. This perspective reshapes our understanding of African civilizations as interconnected and deeply influential in the ancient world.
The Tichitt culture, which flourished around 2000 BCE in what is now Mauritania, provides compelling evidence of an advanced society with organized agriculture, monumental stone settlements, and a structured social order. New archaeological findings reveal how this culture aligns with Diop's theories, not only affirming Africa's role in early civilization but also challenging misconceptions about Africa's historical contributions.
Join us as we explore the connections between the Hapi River basin and Tichitt, uncovering how these migrations shaped West African culture and heritage. Discover why Tichitt’s ancient legacy is essential for understanding Africa's place in global history and how it serves as proof of Diop’s enduring influence on the study of African civilizations.

Between the monumental Pyramids of Giza and the beautifully illustrated Book of the Dead, a religious revolution took place. For the first time in human history detailed accounts of the afterlife and the rituals to transcend death first appear engraved in the twilight of the Old Kingdom. Known as the Pyramid texts, these elaborate rituals, spells and incantations detail how the Soul can be made immortal, by traveling with the Divine Sun through the night, reborn in Osiris, before being emerging between the thighs of the Sky Goddess Nut. The Pyramid texts represent the earliest and most sustained literature on the Afterlife and are among the oldest religious literature in the world.

Dr. Gad Barnea is not your typical Bible scholar—he’s reshaping how we view ancient Judaism and the Hebrew Bible, tackling one of its core assumptions: that Moses and his story are older than the 4th century BCE. As a Lecturer in Jewish History and Biblical Studies at the University of Haifa and a Research Fellow at the École biblique et archéologique Française, Dr. Barnea focuses on Yahwism under the “Iranian Age of Empires,” exploring how Persian rule and Zoroastrianism likely shaped early Judaism, suggesting the Moses narrative may have emerged far later than commonly thought.Beyond texts, Barnea has uncovered a groundbreaking ostracon from Elephantine, the earliest known Jewish curse text, and evidence of a Jewish priestess—a revelation about ancient Jewish rituals. He’s also restored a Qumran scroll (4Q550) containing a forgotten Achaemenid court tale, set to release with Brill, and co-edits a book on “Yahwism under the Achaemenid Empire.”With years of tech experience, Barnea is also advancing Digital Humanities, making biblical studies accessible and transforming how we understand figures like Moses in light of hellenistic influences.overing a history that reshapes our understanding of the Bible and Moses himself.Dr. Gad Barnea linksAcademia - https://haifa.academia.edu/gadbarneaHis new book free open access - https://www.degruyter.com/docu....ment/doi/10.1515/978 the other awesome interview with Dr. Gad Barnea on @GnosticInformant https://youtu.be/ZEEhqRxfFck?si=i8iK20IDP6J0ZYmz
On September 12, 1977, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa was dealt a heavy blow due to the death of Bantu Steve Biko, a popular voice of Black liberation in South Africa between the mid 1960s until his death in police detention in 1977.
Biko was one of the most prominent leaders in the anti-apartheid struggle and in some quarters he was seen as “the most important black South African leader of this generation.” So important, in fact, that the Apartheid Government was terrified of him.

In the early 1900s, Germany carried out one of the first genocides of the 20th century, wiping out over 80% of the Herero and Nama people in Namibia. This brutal campaign, fueled by colonial ambitions, involved mass killings, forced labor, and starvation. This documentary uncovers the horrors of this forgotten atrocity and its lasting impact on Namibia’s history.
