The only other "real" one I could name would be Ethiopia. Mighty kingdoms and such would be Kongo, Mali and Songhai

>>1992077
That is not a black African empire.

>>1992070
>that ottoman empire
Calling bullshit

>>1992077
to be fair let's say Brazil, which is bigger

>>1992068
>let's smash together all the "states" from different time periods just to make it look like there were some
I'm not even polack and I know there were some really great native African states like Mali and Congo, but map like this makes sad, I can't imagine how such a map would look like for Europe or Asia.

It's just a map of some highlights over a stretch of time, since OP never specified a time period.

Don't be fooled, there were blacks in power in Egypt, and not just during some shifty dynasty. Here's tiye, mother and grandmother of two of the most famous pharaohs aketahen and tut.
