Serious question

T. A. Gardner said:
The Pyramids were built by Egyptians who weren't Black. There are a handful of stone structures scattered mostly along the Indian Ocean side of Africa, but those pale in comparison to what was built in Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe. Construction in Rome and Greece might have seen some portion of the workforce being Black, but they weren't the ones contributing to the engineering, surveying, or production planning of the huge projects those empires did.

Oh. so it's not a contiental thing with you, it's racial.

I don;t know why I expected anything else.

The egyption empire included many black peoples, including Nubians and others of a skin color that frightens you.

Is there?

Last time I checked, the the 11th and 15th centuries weren't considered "ancient".

They also aren't even all that impressive for any era.

No, they weren't. Egyptian texts of the time call Blacks "Nubians" and make that distinction.

Shows what you don't know. Yes — many people living in Egypt 4,000 years ago would be considered “Black” by modern U.S. racial categories, but not all Egyptians were. Ancient Egypt was a Northeast African civilization, and its population included a wide range of African phenotypes, from lighter‑skinned North Africans to darker‑skinned Nilotic and Saharan peoples.

But it’s crucial to understand that ancient Egyptians did not think in racial terms the way modern Americans do.

We are always to,d that blacks built America. If that is true then where are the ancient structures in Africa? I mean you have the Coliseum in Rome. The Parthenon on Greece. Surely Africa is as ancient. Where is the technological marvels from that time in Africa?

I am sure that instead of coming up with an answer the JPP Marxists will just scream “RACIST”

But that will only prove my point.

  • North Africa & Nile Valley: Great Pyramid of Giza (Egypt), a 4,500-year-old engineering marvel, and the over 200 Pyramids of Meroë (Sudan) belonging to the Kingdom of Kush.
  • Sub-Saharan West Africa: The Great Mosque of Djenné (Mali), the world's largest mud-brick building, and elite palaces with sophisticated, early-industrial era bathhouses found in GAO, Mali.
  • Eastern & Central Africa: Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela (Ethiopia), 11 churches carved from stone in the 12th century, and the elite residences of the Aksumite Empire.
  • Southern Africa: The Ruins of Great Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe), featuring massive, mortarless stone walls (11th-15th centuries) that housed thousands.

Now let's look at something more modern:

  1. Cairo, Egypt (~23–25.6 million)
  2. Lagos, Nigeria (~12.7–24 million)
  3. Kinshasa, DR Congo (~10.9–17.8 million)
  4. Luanda, Angola (~8.6–11.3 million)
  5. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (~7–7.7 million)
  6. Alexandria, Egypt (~5.4–7.2 million)
  7. Johannesburg, South Africa (~5.7–10 million)
  8. Khartoum, Sudan (~6.1–6.8 million)
  9. Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (~4.9–6.7 million)
  10. Abidjan, Ivory Coast (~5.3–6.6 million)
  11. Nairobi, Kenya (~6–9.6 million)
  12. Giza, Egypt (~8.9 million)
  13. Algiers, Algeria (~4.4–7.8 million)
  14. Kano, Nigeria
  15. Cape Town, South Africa (~4.7–5.2 million)

So much for your racism. Go stuff it up your butt.

Key word was "ancient".

Okay. The Coliseum in Rome no longer qualifies. Everything I've listed is older than the Coliseum of Rome (other than the modern cities built by Africans).

Ancient history typically spans from the beginning of recorded human history (around 3000–3500 BCE) to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE.

No one is talking about the Egyptians you fucking moron. They were not "blacks".

The blacks haven't built their share of Africa into anything to be proud of to this very day.
