So mighty Romans were afraid of a little sand?

>>3232970
The heat and the fact that it's thousands of miles long, more than anything

They could've sailed along the coast to establish colonies and later subjugate the inland tribes with a huge armada. But it wouldve been too costly for little resources they wouldve gotten in return and many men would die from african diseases.

Blacks are amazing.

Whites are disgusting.

They already had enough slaves as it is.

Logistics
Duh!

West Africa? There was nothing fucking there. They made some strides getting to Lake Chad and river Niger but beyond that really it was too far away and too hard to get too, especially with naval technology at the time.

East Africa may have been doable, but the Nile is impassable swamps as you get to Sudan, and pirates from out of Parthia and Arabia made getting to India by sea just as much of a headache as going over land. It really wasn't until you had large ships capable of sailing into the ocean out of reach of local Kang Gibmedats could trade between west and east safely be established.

>They could've sailed along the coast
Actually, sailing along the Moroccan coast is impossible without going out to the open ocean. Europeans didn't manage it until 1434.

They conquered Egypt, so that can't be the case
