Anyone else think they're overrated as fuck? Personally I always found other civilizations like Rome or China or even the Inca more interesting.

Why are they overrated according to you?
They gave us a wealth of monuments compared to the rest of the bronze age Near East.
They were artistically above any other bronze age civilization.
They were architecturally, artistically and technologically the top dogs for millenia

Would the confederacy have won if they had tigers, since 1 tiger can beat 5 shermans, and the union only had 1 sherman?

There are many instances of one Sherman destroying multiple tigers.

Why is he considered a "bad guy" exactly? The guy seems like a modern progressive by todays standards when he spoke out against the laws against homosexuals and when he spoke out against the oppression of blacks in Africa. He even dropped out and told everyone to support labour because he would rather lose and Britain win rather than the other way around. Im not british, so maybe someone from there can shed some light on the culture sorounding Enoch

Not him, but even in WWII horses were still used for a large part transportation. I think only the US army and maybe British were fully motorized.
Both German and Soviet still used carriages.
Cavalry was still used and still had sabers, like the Polish cavalry, Cossacks and in many countries in the Balkans.

Ever heard of the theory that ancient Rome never existed (at least not in Italy) and that the "ruins" were build in the 13th century?
I thought it was dumb too, but then I visited Rome and noticed these ruins were build in the same material ass WW2 era buildings (concrete, metal strucure inside, bricks...)
What the difference between a Roman ruin and a German bunker in the end?

I am a fourth year university student researching Sub-Saharan Africa for my thesis (potentially). Mainly, I wanted to explore their way of life and contributions to the rest of the world. I checked several history books and am having a hard time wrapping my head around what I'm reading. This entire region of the world has done absolutely nothing for 50,000 years. No advancements in architecture, medicine, literature, philosophy, linguistics, science, math, or even agriculture. For pete's sake, you put a seed in the ground and it grows. But these guys can't figure it out for some reason.

Sure we totally believe you OP
I'm sure you just randomly decided to pick sub-saharan Africa, with no pre-tense or past knowledge of it, or even the most basic aspects of it such as the Benin or Mali Empire. Or the contributions that Mansa Munsa and a variety of other kings and leaders contributed not only to Africa but also Europe.
I'm sure you're an University Student working on a thesis. I'm sure you're not just trying to make some retarded African-bashing thread. That is totally why you decided to post an IQ map that has no correlation whatsoever to what your post is about.

What did Pol-Pot want to achieve? What was his endgame?
e'd turned schools into death-camps, he'd had everyone and everyone who looked too smart killed, and he'd had people worked close to death and then buried alive, Pol-Pot's reign of terror was without a doubt an insane and dangerous one but what did he want to gain from doing it all?

Are you kidding me? Hitler only targeted places of strategic value. If there was civilians in the way, so be it. He wouldnt randomly target civilians though.
