African architecture would include North Africa, meaning Egypt. What you're talking about is Sub-Saharan Africa and there are a few examples there of more advanced civilizations. Nothing too spectacular, but still. Today with the importation of knowledge and engineers Africans are capable of building.
Yeah colonists build that Today version. It's all going to slowly decay and turn back into the village now that they've left and it's only blacks left to their own devices again.
This would be true if all links between our cultures would be cut. But of course they're not colonists, they're trading knowledge and skills for resources in a mutually beneficial exchange. The African continent has billions of people that can contribute to the wealth of the world, that more of them will be in the role of say manual labor than the managerial positions is unfortunate but not a death sentence. Capitalism will make them rich as well.
Hahah yeah go to Africa and check out how much trading is happening. That billion there can nearly figure out how to rub two rocks together and wants nothing to do with capitalism.
In the Bible yes, in real life archeological evidence, not as clear and probably not based on them being Jews. Ancient world slavery was not generally based on race; it was usually based on who had been conquered, who owed large debts and couldn’t pay them, and who broke the law.
and in the bible it says how the Jews werent conquered. The Egyptians didnt like the idea of so many Jews and thought they might try to take over so they made them slaves, so in general slavery wasnt based on race, this is an exception.
Youre saying Egypt is in Africa (duh), giving credit to engineers who used a combination of slave labor and paid labor to pile up rocks. Im SmArT bEcAuSe I kNoW wHeRe EgYpT iS! Youre arguing against a joke and downvoted the fact they used slaves as labor for some reason. I guess the better question is: what are you driving at?
I didn't downvote you I just didn't understand the point. Egyptians are not blacks and they did a lot more than 'pile up rocks'. The pyramids are miraculous but they of course built all sorts of spectacular things and not just in terms of architecture. The early Greeks went there to study, for a long time it was the highest point of civilization that humanity had reached, well, at least outside of China. They had a school system and stuff like that. We find tablets with math lessons for example. They had philosophy and advanced religion. It was beautiful.

What are you talking about? Things are bad enough there's no need to slander and I don't understand what's supposed to be gained from that.
Didnt the Egyptians enslave Jews for 400 years?
In the Bible yes, in real life archeological evidence, not as clear and probably not based on them being Jews. Ancient world slavery was not generally based on race; it was usually based on who had been conquered, who owed large debts and couldn’t pay them, and who broke the law.

Not sure what you're driving at.
