This documentary is called "Prince Among slaves"

"The museum plans to highlight a little-known connection between its host state and the manuscripts of Timbuktu: the story of Ibrahima Abd ar-Rahman, an 18th-century prince from what is now Guinea who studied at Timbuktu before being sold into slavery in Natchez, Miss. The prince's saga contradicts another widely held Western belief -- that Africans sold in the slave trade were uncivilized. In fact, many were doctors, dentists, lawyers, professors, musicians and members of royal families. And a large number were Muslim"

Another documentary on West Africa, a far away land that has captured the imaginations of countless Europeans

In Africa (a quarter of the world)
men's skin are black, their hair is crisp and curled;
And somewhere there, unknown to public view,
A mighty city lies called Timbuktu.
-William Thackeray
From the Land of the Incas to the Land of Darwin... Ancient Peruvian civilizations left fantastic monuments and artwork. And close up with the wild and wonderful wildlife on the Galapagos. Contains a few pix of my family, but mercifully, not too many.

The further we inquire into the depths of our ancient civilizations on Earth, we continue to find ourselves looking to the stars for the genetic origins of the human race. The missing link is in the stars. Finally we discover that religion, science & athiests are all in many ways right, we are all indeed connected to a greater force, we are all bound by the process of evolution & we are all co-creators & players in the process of self transformation. Does a caterpillar know when it is to transform into a butterfly & take flight, does a flower know when is to sprout at the first light of spring? We all withhold the genetic code which unravels as we awaken into geater consciousness, like rings in the growth of a tree, as we expand, the past remains within us; in our becoming we reach for our inner knowing. The ancient peoples of Earth knew full well that we shared this universe with many star civilizations, just as we share this Earth with countless species. Spending time in the outback of central Australia amongst the ancient land of the Aborigines certainly opens your mind, body & soul to the infinite possibilities of the past. Further still, we come to consider the wonderful seed energies which lay waiting to sprout within the human consciousness. If we are all from the stars, then surely our evolution will find us returning to our primal home & as we look up at night into the vast expanse of space, we are drawn to consider who we really are & what we are to become. We live amidst a great time of transformation inspired by intense social & environmental change & with this adversity the human spirit is forced to rise beyond the ordinary. We are forced to take an evolutionary leap & with this comes a transformation in consciousness. We are galactic, we are dimensional we are extraterrestrial.

Text on the subs:
In the second millenium B.C. mighty sea power apperared on Crete.
The Cretans left the big cities with poved streets after themselves.
The walls of their palaces were decorated with amazing fresco.
The Cretans' huge fleet dominated on the eastern Mediterranean.
The power of Crete controled the most important trade routes and metals deposits.
The Cretans attacked Egypt, settled in the Crimea and imported amber from the Baltic.
But suddenly in 15th century b.c. Crete's power ceased to exist.
The palaces were destroyed...
and the natives left lived-in lands.
What was the reason for so sudden and tragical Crete's power downfall?
What nation was the founder of this state?
Scientists suppoused it to be the Slavs' ancestors. Is it right?
And what did narrate mysterious inscriptions of this the first European civilization?
i made this video in response to all the videos that claim that ancient mesopotamia was part of the african empire...i am NOT racist i just don't like when people try to steal my country's culture
