Can a country/ethnic group have a richer history than another country/ethnic group

[Pipit]

 

[Marquis]

Yes of course, goes without saying.

 

[Removed]

Yes, but it is next to impossible for it to be objective. For example one could argue all day the merits of various different empires whats even worse though is that not all of history is recorded there is so much we don’t know it could possibly be that the richest history could lie in Oceania with Polynesian explorers or with some ancient African empire within the interior of the congo Basin.

Also how do you decide who descends from what empire if someone has partial ancestry to one but less than another group does that nullify it being apart of their heritage?

For all we know there could have been an Alexander type of figure that conquered much of deep Sub-saharan africa and if you ask me that is very likely to have happened but we will never know.

Depends on how well they where wrote of them selfs and how long they have existed independently as a civilization

By default Europeans have a richer history than Africans. So it depends on context

No they don’t, the europeans thrived on the backs of foreign cultures. In the time of islamic Spain europa was for around 97% illiterate. Islam gave them real universities and hygiene. If we are going to treat every other continent like shit, we cannot forget about europe the most backward continent in certain era’s.

i mean even the plague didn’t reach the horn region, even though we heavily traded with the infected regions.

the only thing the europeans have been good at back in the day was conquering and lying. without the so called third world europe would have been more fucked up than the rest.

Not if you count the Egyptians as Africans

I count Egyptians as Middle Eastern. The same way I count Russians as European.

Russians are europeans
Anceint Egypt culture was more african
Dont see any middle eastern culture close to ancient egyptian culture

1) Russia is technically both a European and Asian country as most of the Russia Is in the Asian continent. But it’s culturally European.

2)You’re right Ancient Egypt culture was more African but it was conquered by the Greeks,Romans and Persians so some of the history maybe plagiarized or distorted to fit a bias.

3) But i see current Egyptians as Middle Easterners that’s more to do with the fact of the Arabization of Egypt that happened 1000 years ago.

Current egypt is more middle eastern, current egypt is also a toilet bowl, if they were the continuation of thousands of years of advanced civilization I would think they would be doing better than this.

Tbh Most Arab countries in the Middle East are shitholes except the Saudis,the Emiratis ,the Qataris and the Kuwatis . But that’s more to do with the fact they have a lot of oil.

The problem with Africa is that throughout history we relied on oral tradition, rather than writing. Much of our history is lost and also, there hasn't been a lot of archeological interests in certain parts of Africa like Somalia for example.
