Hey /pol, first post on this board. I'm actually very curious about the history of the continent of Africa.
>inb4 uneducated Amerifag
Just a quick run down about the largest empires and the most useful inventions to come out of Africa (outside of Egypt, I know plenty about Egypy)
Pic unrelated
>>
>Egypy
Fuck ignore that I clearly meant Egypt
>>
The largest empires are egyptian (obviously) and the ethiopian empires. There was others and various city states but I don't recall there names and they were shitty.

Supposedly atlantis is somewhere near egypt as well but that's not conclusive or even real.

Don't know how I forgot Ethiopia, thank you!
>>
As for inventions, nothing to spectacular aside from make-up, perfumes, spices, gold-smithing and crude mathematics.

Mesopotamia was where all the inventions started, they were the heavy lifters when it came to civilization.

No worries, supposedly egyptians learned gold smithing from the atlantids but nobody is certain.

Took a bullshit course on this last semester because I had no other choice. They tried pulling the whole sob story but couldn't avoid talking about how they were so retarded to sell their own working-age people into slavery outside of the fucking continent.
Most of it is basically caveman tier until about the 1600s when the slave trade started.

Nope.

Only the Pygmy and Khoisan were Stone Age past the Roman era. Everyone else herded and farmed.
