No, it is YOUR MAKING, and YOU keep changing the definition!

The Great Pyramid of Giza was conceived, designed, and built by Egyptians during the 4th Dynasty (c. 2500 BC) for Pharaoh Khufu. Constructed over 20 years by thousands of skilled workers, it utilized massive limestone blocks and sophisticated logistics, reflecting their deep religious beliefs, engineering skills, and complex, organized society.
No mosque is "ancient" in archeological terms.
Many of the buildings in Mali in pre-colonial times were influenced by the Islamic world; again, these are not "ancient".
Likewise, the "rock-hewn churches of Lalibela", which date from the 12th century C.E. and Great Zimbabwe, which is 11th-15th century.
Population figures of Egypt are not available, dude.
Nubia was part of Egypt.
Oh? YOU JUST POINTED SOME OF THE OUT! DON'T TRY TO DENY YOUR OWN POSTS!
Nubia was part of Egypt. It was not a separate nation.
Of course. Nubia was part of Egypt. Egypt occupies Egypt.
Nope. Two Pharaohs...an upper one and a lower one. Eventually merged into one, with governors administering matters locally (what you call viceroys).
Go review your history of Egypt, Africa, and your geography.
No, it is YOUR MAKING, and YOU keep changing the definition!
Think so? Then I cannot help you.

Is the generalization wrong? Do I need to show you the stats on young black males not in workforce?
You yourself always say “there are jobs they don’t want to do” which is why you say you support importing cheap low level labor.

The coloreds. You even say so yourself when you clamor for more illegal immigrants
The generalization is wrong. There are many reasons people do not join the workforce other than lack of work ethic.
So "many" could be any number.
At times.
Try it with someone else, will you? Fallacy fallacy fallacy times infinity!
Maybe you should look it up.
See above.
I didn't call them viceroys; that's what the Egyptologists I consulted called them.
So?
Redefinition fallacy. You keep trying to redefine what you mean by 'ancient'.
Buzzword fallacy. You obviously can't come up with a consistent meaning of 'ancient'.
So?
How so?
So you want to discard this definition as well. Therefore, any further references you make along these lines I will also consider a buzzword.
No. The generalization is fine. No composition error occurred here.
Feel free. I already know of it. This is largely inner city problem is caused by Democrats. They are the modern 'plantation', designed to keep black people illiterate, dependent on Democrat 'welfare', and riddled with gangs, which the Democrats support.
Ooooo. Nice shot!
DON'T TRY TO DENY YOUR OWN POSTS!
It doesn't seem so to me. I freely acknowledge that people of any race may have societally-positive and negative traits.
Are you familiar with pattern recognition as a human mental process?
Sociologists do it as a matter of course. There are different types of generalization. For example, a cultural generalization is a statement about a group of people. For instance, saying that Americans tend to be more individualistic compared to many other cultural groups is an accurate generalization about that group.
A cultural generalization may become a stereotype if it is definitively applied to individual members of the group. however, it would be stereotyping a person to assume that he or she must be individualistic by virtue of being American.
A physical generalization would be the observation that men are generally larger than women. However, outliers exist,as you must have observed, but seizing upon an outlier (a non-typical example) to "disprove" the norm is illogical.
Do you dislike it?
So you are asking where are the ancient structures in Africa, in the "Current Events Forum"? Do you know what current events are?
The Nazis always wondered where the ancient German monuments were. They decided there must be some long lost homeland of the Aryans, in Tibet or somewhere, where their ancient moments were.
But back to your question. Obviously, you do not mean Northern Africa, where most of the truly ancient structures are. There was a huge amount of mixing with the Nubians, so it would be a fair argument that all the greatest ancient structures in Egypt had a sub Saharan influence. That goes both directions, in that there are the Nubian Pyramids which while not as big as the Egyptian Pyramids, were much steeper. There are also the Ethiopian Obelisks. If you want to go forward a bit, there is the Djinguereber Mosque in Mali.
It is doubtful that the pyramids were built by slaves, because the Egyptians and Nubians would never have allowed dirty outsiders to touch their most sacred sites. It was built by peasants in the off season from their farming. They did this as a devotion to their religion.

Teflon Don needs to be deported to Angola.
Egyptians made cultural distinctions, but not racial ones. Someone with black skin who had grandparents born and raised in Egypt, and who conformed to the Egyptian culture would have been considered Egyptian. Egyptians fully accepted they were a mixed lot between the Middle East and Sub-Sahara Africa. They did not generally accept Europeans, until very late in their history, but other than that they accepted all.
