I'm Portuguese, I don't know how are history classes in Spain, but here we are taught about pretty much everyone who was here at some point: the Phoenicians, Carthiginians and Greeks briefly, with not much detail, then we are taught about the Lusitanians and Celts with some detail, then we are taught about the Romans with a lot of detail, then we are taught about the germanic tribes (Vandals, Alans, Suebi, Visigoths, etc) with some detail. Which is understandable, because the Romans were here for a long time and they recorded everything, while the others didn't. After that, we are taught about the "Mouros" (Moors), but let me tell you, whenever they teach you this period, they rush it very fast and it's even with less detail than some of the minor people I mentioned before, not only that but the book we use in class usually has like 5 pages on this, which is the equivalent of "well, they were here, then the Reconquista happened, the end"...for me, it's sad, the Moors were in Portugal for 530 years (780 in Spain)...so how can you teach 500 years of history in a few minutes and teach some of the other minor tribes throughout several classes? And I'm pretty sure it's not due to lack of records, the Moors were advanced and introduced a lot of technical things to the Peninsula, I'm sure they had records just like the Romans. I for one wish we valued more this part of our history, unfortunately, for some reason, I don't know if it's because of religious differences or if its for us to "identify" more with our Reconquista, I'm not sure...I just know that we should be taught about our christian forefathers, for sure, I'm all for that, but I think we shouldn't miss 500 years of history because of something that happened more than a milenium ago.

You covered the Berbers?! The Berbers!? I love this channel. You actually cover all of history, not just the same tired out mainstream topics.

Salute to All my Berber Amazigh Brothers 🇲🇦🇲🇦💪💪

I love the way you explain history. It is worth following up and all the support. Thank you. I appreciate that 🇩🇿

As descendants of Portuguese i do have North African blood and i am very proud of that.

Al Qarawiyyin university was built in morocco- Fes... But you showed it to be in Tunis.... The one in Tunis is called Kairaouan.. even today they still get confused for each other

Love from an Amazigh Algerian from AURES! Great Videos on an overshadowed topic and civilization that lasted more than their occupiers throughout history! the dream of a united Maghreb still lives on!

♓ As an Aboriginal Amazigh ♓ i say thank you ,we appreciate your insightful Documentary ❤ 🇲🇦

This was the apex of Amazigh power! Thank you for shedding light on our glorious history

I am an Amazigh from Morocco (Aith Wayaren tribe which is one of the biggest tribe in the Rif region) and this is very interesting. Most people in Morocco are genetically Amazigh, but some (especially from the south of Morocco) consider themselves Arabs , which they are not. It would be nice to see another episode of Abdelkrim Alkhattabi who was an Amazigh from Morocco, and with just a small army defeated Spain and France in Morocco. In the end Abdelkrim had to surrender because France and Spain (with the help of other European countries) bombed villages and civilians with poison gas. You should check the Battle of Anwal where the Spanish army was decimated. Can you make an episode about this?

That was amazing ،Great detail of historical events appreciate your work from Algeria 🇩🇿

I am not sure but maybe quite some people would be interested in learning more about a impressive chapter of Berber history, the revolt of the Rif during the early 20th century, shortly after WW I. The berbers crushed Spanish colonial armies, worried the French a lot. To crush them chemical weapons were used in a horrible way.

finally, I was waiting for this episode for 2 years

Thank you for this awesome video ⵣ

I think these two Berber videos are among this channel’s best works. Whichever part of the team did these videos should be promoted ASAP. Fantastic work.

As a moroccan i'm so proud

I love this. I think that Berber/Amazigh people should not be confused with Arabs (although they have been Arabized to a degree).

I listen to this channel under my welding hood everyday. Thank you Kings and Generals for great content everyday.
