Think so.

Also @Grano-Grano - they mention the Adal Sultanate, but the entire conflict between the Solomonids and Adal is from the Ityoppiyan perspective

The economic power of Somalia in the middle ages was underreported in the doc series. It was blatant propganda for Habasha side.

I am not done watching the first episode, but it is suspect so far. It gives an "oh look africans are people too" vibe. Henry Louis Gates is tap dancing.

I just pressed play on Part 1.........



Is Gates trying to take back out of his comments about Ancient Egyptians not being black on the low by opening up the documentary talking about everyone descended from ancestors on the African continent?

Episode 5 rightly points the hypocrisy of the Sokoto Caliphate. Founded as a means to stop enslavement, yet enslaves millions of Africans

I'm hearing from others around the net that Gates states that the Ancient Egypt came under "black rule" with the 25th dynasty. But worse... He states that it was white Berbers that invaded Iberia when there is zero proof for that. The Berbers who invaded Iberia were the Saharan type who were all described by primary sources to be black.
Lets Talk African History: The Moors. Who Were They?

Yeah, I'm not giving this series any of my time. Just another Eurocentric platform that ignores primary sources to fit their agenda. Its 2017 now...
