How is that possible when in reality Bantus have always been miles ahead of you backward Cushitic people throughout history — and we still are today. Nice try. Bantus developed, by far, the single most influential and impactful civilizations in East Africa; Nilotic’s and Cushitic brothers didn’t develop anything worthwhile they developed zero art and architecture elements far beyond what the Bantu men developed.

The documentary shows how inland ethnic Somali nomads were civilised into a coastal maritime way of life by the native Bantu communities of Barawa (Brava) . My source:United Nations archive footage of the Bantu fishermen of Barawa (Brava) teaching your nomadic ancestors basic maritime skills. In the 1979 UN Audiovisual Library documentary Nomad Fishermen (Production Date: 1 January 1979), 5,000 inland Somali nomads—who had never seen the sea—were resettled on the coast after the drought. Local Bravanese fishermen took them in and taught them how to swim, handle boats, cast nets, and catch fish.

I have nothing but love for my West African brothers and sisters, but why use one of the worst examples of Bantu architecture to compare against one of the best examples of West African architecture? I don’t appreciate the disrespect. Try comparing it against prime Bantu architecture. Regardless, the Bantu are one of the few African groups that mastered both masonry architecture and earthen architecture—something quite rare in West Africa except Mauritania just saying 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️
