First? Let's not forget that the greatest of the older Samurai...as Dr. Ivan van Sertima and Ruanoko Rashidi proved in thoroughgoing fashion in their revolutionary work of science, AFRICAN PRESENCE IN EARLY ASIA...were themselves either entirely or partially Black. European knights were themselves matched and overmatched by the quilt and mail armored Malian, Mossi, Kanem/Chadean, etc warriors of their respective Empires or Kingdoms. The Vikings...despite their justifiably feared berr serker wearing berzerker raging warriors ( the word "berzerker" came from The Old Norse "berrserkr" meaning "without armor ") would have been overmatched by the Unstoppable Imbangala, Nubian, etc warriors of Alkebulan. Secondly? Because Alkebulan miscalled Africa is unique, this "answer " would vary; depending upon the regions and era in question. The devastating Kipura warriors of The Empire of Kongo. The ferocious Imbangala of Lund ( also in Kongo ). The lethal Asante. The unyielding Mandinka. The rampaging Oyo, the territorial warriors of Benin. Etc etc.

They have erased much of African history even from Africans even the knowledge of the use of war elephants and from even talking about the use of war elephants making it seem like Europeans trained African elephants and Africans didn't why, because it shows the power of Africa on the battlefield before modern weapons and the Elephant is what Europe feared the most

Special thanks for all those who support on Patreon as you guys literally make this happen! Animation can be expensive and I'd like to bring these kinds of videos to you guys more consistently. If you would like to be a part of this new animated direction for African History content consider supporting on Patreon: www.patreon.com/HomeTeamHistory Quick note about the video... Sources will give different accounts on the campaign of Sunni Ali. I used a combination from the sources as posted in the video but relied more on a recent analysis from the great works of Michael Gomez. Also, I thought it was important to include oral tradition and so the works of Songhai scholar Hassimi Maiga helps us understand the early life of Sunni Ali from a Songhai perspective. Thanks Again

On the contrary, they deposit these goods with a man of confidence … until those who have a right to the goods present themselves and take possession.” ― Patricia C. McKissack,
