The Meroitic script developed by Kushites in Sudan around 300 b. c. Ge'ez script. The Ezana stone was written by the Ethiopians in their own language and script called Ge'ez, in the year 330 a. d. The Adinkra symbols of Ghana go back to about 600 a. d. These are similar to how Chinese characters work. The Ikom monoliths of Nigeria display inscriptions that archaeologists have not yet deciphered and represent a lost script. An inscription was found carved in the post of a door way at Great Zimbabwe, but it was stolen by a European so archaeologists have no way of deciphering it. And of course there's the famous Hieroglyphic writing from the Nile valley that began in southern Egypt by indigenous Africans and goes back as far as 3200 b.c. Btw, Europe/Greece didn't have a written script until it was brought to them by the Phoenicians. And the Phoenicians got writing from the Egyptians, who are Africans. So Europe can thank Africa for teaching them how to write.

All places that are expert in using history for achieve higher racial esteem in the peoples. Definitely, all the countries of the G7, NATO, the UN Security Council, the main members of BRICS, the ASEAN countries. Definitely, all the major protaganists of World War 2. The pattern: Building higher racial esteem is a means or tool for building POWER, and power ensures genetic racial survival. Ask the indigenous Americans, Australasians, the Herero of Namibia, and the indigenous Tasmanians what happens when you don't have power. GENOCIDE!!!

Yeah, this is BS. The ancient Greeks did not say that the Ancient Egyptians were "black people." In fact, until 1000 BC or so there weren't any "black people" (which means Niger/Congo and Bantu peoples) in most of Africa, since this was before the Bantu Expansion had reached that far -- Central Africa was Pygmies and southern Africa was Khoisan. Greeks connected Egyptians, quite reasonably, with Nilotic peoples like Nubians, but that's the whole other side of the continent. I suggest not building racial esteem by trying to steal other people's history, when you actually have Bantu empires like Ghana.

The Songhai Empire is a story of greed, dominance, war, barbarism and slavery. They made war against and sold their fellow black people to slave traders. Europeans didn't generally hunt down and make slaves of their own race as did black Africans. The Europeans bought black people who were already slaves from black people. But I'm all about history, blacks should study their 'true' history, warts and all. All races have as similar history of brutality, greed and empire lusting. Look at the American Indians for instance, they made war and enslaved other tribes long before the white man arrived. For example, the Mayan Empire wasn't just conquered by the Spanish alone, there weren't enough Spaniard soldiers. They allied with several of the Mayan's tribal enemies that were tired of getting enslaved and sacrificed before Mayan Gods. White Europeans didn't generally enslave war captives for the purpose of human sacrifice but the Mayan did. By the way, the Moroccans kicked the crap out of the Songhai and took over their empire along with the gold and slave trading.

How can you know of ancient African slavery, they had no written history. However we know that Arabs practiced chattel slavery and that Africans did the same afterwards according to written history. The European, Mungo Park, was one the first explorers into interior Africa and he wrote about tribal slavery. He wrote: "The slaves in Africa, I suppose, are nearly in the proportion of three to one to the freemen. They claim no reward for their services except food and clothing, and are treated with kindness or severity, according to the good or bad disposition of their masters. Custom, however, has established certain rules with regard to the treatment of slaves, which it is thought dishonourable to violate. Thus the domestic slaves, or such as are born in a man’s own house, are treated with more lenity than those which are purchased with money. ... But these restrictions on the power of the master extend not to the care of prisoners taken in war, nor to that of slaves purchased with money. All these unfortunate beings are considered as strangers and foreigners, who have no right to the protection of the law, and may be treated with severity, or sold to a stranger, according to the pleasure of their owners."So, there were all forms of slavery in Africa prior to European contact. War captives were primarily the ones traded to Europeans for weapons, gunpowder, shot,and other items. In turn, the tribes would go into the interior of Africa and using European weapons they made war on their enemies and marched them to the coast. On the journey from the interior to the coast, more slaves died than those on the trans-Atlantic journey to the New World, where the slave cargo died at a similar rate to the crew. So don't try to tell us that somehow uncivilized Africans treated their slaves better than Europeans. It was all brutal.

The same can be said of any empire, if you look through history even of the western African Ghana or Songhai empires those that came after often presented in text a disparaging review of those who came before. Conquerors re-writing the history of those before them isn't just a European issue, it is a issue of all humanity throughout history. Thus when any historian reads historical documentation you have to take into context the narrative of the author. So for example when later regimes in the Songhai region wrote about Ali Ber being barbaric and a despot you have to understand the context of them wanting to make their leadership look better than those before. Your anti European diatribe is a massive corruption of intellectual analysis of historical content. You are literally saying "water is wet" thus I can gas light all Europeans as terrible. The historical reality is "all humans can be good and bad" and ancient Empires where never built on being overtly civil. Am I excusing the acts or Europeans in the past, hell no what they did to others is terrible. At the same time casting Europeans as the only devil in hell only makes me wonder about the one sided context of the speaker.
