Is this why Africa didn't have much civilizations ?

Imagine being an empire and never realizing you can build houses and mosques with rock too.


I respect Songhai and Mali Empire,

but I remember seeing a documentary once
where these people jumped and ran around with mud
to restore their great mosque ( which was made of mud) for 2 weeks.
It's an annual ceremony

in Tumbuktu

Imagine restoring a mud castle for centuries smh

walle hate Africa man

Imagine it raining 1 day or river flooding it's bank, RIP whole city.

Nothing wrong with not having a historical civilization, history is still being recorded and what matters is how we create a good chapter in history today. Everyone starts from somewhere.

Africans are good at music and sports.

It probably rains there once a month, so it might not even be that high of a maintenance

Still doesn't change the fact that West Africa is superior to Horn of Africa

Its not effective to build out of mud, no doubt. They're probably just keeping it for history

Africa is filled with great civilizations, white people were jst smart enough to start writin and kappin about theirs

 

[Marquis]

Nice bait

What has Somali achieved that even deserves to be in the same stratosphere as Ghana, Mali and Songhai?

Probably true and they probably kept using mud smh

 

[Al-Burcaawi]

I'm surprised they didn't eat it yet

Don't bother with them, these same people run around making 15 threads over their tribal "kingdoms"

Don't compare everything to Ancient Rome or China or to the modern world.

I find those Medieval Sahelian civilizations still impressive.

Iraq 5000 years ago.

Would Africans today be capable of building such cities without the help of Europeans and Chinese?
