Subsaharan Africans never developed a written language. In fact the first person to transcribe a subsaharan African language was a white man.
Ask yourself how you develop a civilization without the written word?
>>133845409
Kongo and mali
>>133845409
no
Nubian Empire/Kingdom
Basically the south Korea of Africa. They copied Egypt and outlived them.
>>133845409
Ethiopia is actually a very interesting civilization. Hey are where 'Lucy' was found, so they could be the birthplace of man. They are incredibly religious orthodox Christians, and were actually some of the first ones, becoming Christian Right around the time Palestine did. They claim to hold the Arc of the Coveneant AND the Holy Grail but put it in a secret location. They have some relatively beautiful women too, pic related. They are the fastest growing economy in the world and were never colonized, except if you count by Italy for around 7 years.

> they were never colonized, unless you count the time they were colonized.

Yes, the Nubian pyramids in Sudan were built by the ancient Kushite Kingdom, the same people who went on to conquer Egypt and establish the Egyptian empire.

It was more of a short occupation shortly before world war 2 and during it. They never stopped fighting them and pressure from other world powers caused them to withdraw.
>>133845409
Axum, Ghana, Ashanti, Dahomey, there's probably a few more but I can't remember. The zulus had a lot of military prowess compared to neighbouring tribes
No but we can build one now.
>>133845409
Yes there is lots of kingdoms. If Africa is ever stable for a long period of time some archaeological finds might reveal a lot more.
>>133845409
It depends what you really want to qualify as civilization, and African.
For instance, Phonetician colonies, Egypt, Berbers, etc are all "African."
Likewise, with civilization. If civilization is defined with actual cities, you have plenty... but none in isolation.
>>133845409
Not really.
There were kingdoms but they were kingdoms of idiots who gave away all their wealth.
>>133845554
>Muslim empire built on goldmining
>>133846504
Actually, they found a human in Bulgaria older,(and I believe more advanced) by about half a million years.
Yeah, the white ones that were uplifting them from savagery
>>133845554
>more powerful than rome
>comes even remotely close in size to even one half of the mediterranean sea
>rome encompassed the WHOLE sea and vast areas in every direction.
Trade routes mean shit btw. Romans had trade routes reaching as far as China and Indonesia.
>>133845862

How can someone have a renaissance if it didn't have anything to mention before that time?
You know renaissance literally means rebirth and the term in Europe refers to the rediscovery of ideals and knowledge of ancient Greek and Roman civilization, right?
>>133845593
>I mean 'black' Africans, not Arabs/Europeans that moved into the northernmost parts of the continent.
Egyptian civilization existed way before Arabs came in.
>Europeans
