African Mythology: The Moon Prince

I asked a question to Google years ago. "What was african history before slavery" it came up fruitless. Now 3 years later you answered my question. We are awesome!!!

What a wonderful story! Thank you.

My question is when can we stop calling it mythology because it was actually real but as many things take time to come to light so will this.

Is there any African mythologies similar to the Phoenix

I love your content. Keep it coming!

I name my daughter Wisdom. I have literally been calling her Wizrod and Moon Goddess since birth. Great story. Great channel.

This is interesting. I’ve heard another variation of this myth where the son seeks revenge...still from the same tradition. Nonetheless, I had to switch it up lol. The moon prince is one of my favorite myths that I used to tell my third graders. What’s the source of this myth? Is it from an anthology of African myths?

Do you have the summary of the story? I just need it for my assignment

Whats the intro song please.

I love this mythology storytelling very interesting. I wonder why i was told some things but not all. My skin is brown but in the summer it turns red, like red clay all i see is the color red. And my are eyes are piercing like the light that shines in use to have a glass glase from time to time. light did affected my sight but nothing so far. Just a nomal human being, but stories always ?? Questtioned in the back of my mind??

Hi, I am learning a lot from these videos. your voice though is so low. Too low

Dude: can see the future
Same dude: marries one who will kidnap his son and swap it with a dog
Also same dude: proceeds to deem the whole ordeal as legit

So proud to be african, and i am very much digging this channel. Really big thumbs up. But i have to say, that it's very sad how women in mythology, no matter how powerful (queens, princesses) are often only as good as their son or father. It's really obvious that even legends, mythology, history.. are written through a man's perspective. In this story, the king divorced his first wife, then took her back, because of a "legitimate heir to the throne", which is very sad. In how i would like to remember this story, the king divorced his first wife because he was in love, and blinded by the idea of having a rightful son. His blindness and ignorance led him to feel betrayed, jealous and gullible when she gave birth to a puppy instead of a son. Thus showing that such a mindset never goes nowhere, and can lead a wise man to trust in lies and illusions.

What are some of your sources for this story? I can't seem to any info on this legend

DUDE. I've literally been wanting to learn about African mythology for ages!

The Jealous second wife name was Queen Latifah , that's where the rapper got her name from.

Can somebody spell the of the people this story is about? I would love to look more into them.

What's the name of this moon Prince?

Who wants to see a movie of this story?

So in ancient Africa all you needed to be a god king was a shiny polished White Rock glue to your chest or perhaps a necklace but to be a garden ancient Greece you had to build a blast lightning from your hands to be able to fly to have a chariot that controlled the Sun to be able to control the ocean but all you needed an ancient Africa was a shiny Rock glued to your chest

I tell you what.... That was 🗣 EVERYTHING !

Dam That’s Wild Bcuz They Have A New Anime Out And The Main Character Is A Mystical Moon Elf Who Has Super Powers. Turns Out They Was Africans

Beautiful ♥️

Stories you don't hear enough in schools unfortunately.

I was born with a circle symbol in ma chest but with some dots in it but I don't know what it means

I came with the hopes of being less ignorant, so far it has been awesome.

The biggest criticism I have about Africa is that threw its history mainly being oral these things arnt as widely known. Fascinating mythology’

How this not a movieeee that’s criminal

Thank you for the Wake up.of my people.

The guy has prophetic abilities and than that . . . Beeing special and gifted is often seen as a devined right to rule but that he fell for the puppy thing and punished the poor women showes, that maybe he was not the brightest, makeing the best decissions. In modern stories we got the same concept in the Tagaryens from Game of Thrones/asoiaf, their dragons mark them as "supirior" but looking behind that one finds it does not make them better rulers at all!

Beautiful story

I find African mythology fascinating- a welcome change from the European and East Asian ones that are so dominant.

I really like this

I'm an Iranian but I really love your culture please do a video of mamnam

How do you spell the name? Kodi Seflbang?

The link in the description for African history books no longer works, any recommendations or tips on places to find some or which in particular to grab?

What was the name of the tribe? Bosoko? Can't find them anywhere on Google. Anyone have any resources?

This is amazing story

I love being African

Awesome mythos..Will share with my viewers! Bless Up!

I would love to see this as a movie

I love this

This literally has the potential to become a disney movie

Do you know what time period this story is set?

There are some great African mythologies that should be on tv shows and movies. I've seen Japanese, Native American, Norse, and Greek mythology on tv shows and movies and I would really love to see something different for once! The entertainment industry most likely doesn't think African mythology is worthy enough for all of people to see. Im sick and tired of us black people only being portrayed as gangs and drug dealers and shit! So many of the mythologies I've heard of have been from many different tv shows and it's always interesting to learn more and search up what certain words mean in different languages. I would love to watch a supernatural show where the main character or main characters are black.

Hai ke..

What was that song at the start I want to know please ❤

Interesting

Nice stories
