Abzu: The Lost City of Samira – The Hidden History of South Africa and the Zanj

Abzu, the legendary first city of Samira, holds the key to a forgotten history that traces back to the ancient civilizations of Azaniah. Located in what is now known as South Africa, Abzu was the cradle of a mighty civilization that flourished long before colonialism and modern history. Azaniah, a land once inhabited by the Zanj—meaning "black slave" in ancient texts—gave rise to one of the most powerful empires in African history. The Moors, legendary travelers and scholars, carried the wisdom of Abzu into the wider world, influencing the cultures of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and beyond.

In this video, we journey through time, uncovering the lost story of Abzu and its role in shaping African identity, history, and the biblical narrative of ancient Egypt. We examine the mysterious connections between Abzu, the Zanj, and their place in the annals of African civilization. Through the lens of the Moors and their influence on both Africa and Europe, we explore the profound impact of Abzu on the rise of African empires and its legacy in today’s South Africa.
