10 African Kingdoms No One Talks About But Should

[Asclepias]

You do realize that steel is just iron with some more carbon in it right?
Even if they did manage to make steel,which I doubt,it was more than likely an accident.
A Brief History of Iron and Steel Manufacture

Just remember tho...at first Africans didnt contribute tho...now that you have some information...uh "ok ok they contributed steel but like...maybe it was by accident and steel? Who cares about that?"

When you consider charcoal is used in the fire,I would bet whoever it was who invented steel did it on accident.

So?

Accidentally spilling some charcoal in the ol smelter is hardly an accomplishment.
Making steel an affordable alternative was.

According to you creating steel is a no biggie huh? LMAO...Now you're going into sillysville.

If it was no biggie why then: Haya people - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

In spite of the lack of practice the elders were able to create a furnace using mud and grass which when burned provided the carbon needed to transform the iron into steel. Later investigation of the land yielded 13 other furnaces similar in design to the re-creation set up by the elders. This process is very similar to open hearth furnace steelmaking.

These furnaces were carbon-dated and were found to be as old as 2000 years. Steel of similar quality did not appear in Europe until several centuries later.[5]

No big deal but Europe couldnt do it until hundreds of years later. LOL!!

Its funny how the monkeys try to discount things when their own people couldnt accidentally do it.

Architecture and engineering
Various past African societies created sophisticated built environments. Of course, there are the engineering feats of the Egyptians: the bafflingly raised obelisks and the more than 80 pyramids. The largest of the pyramids covers 13 acres and is made of 2.25 million blocks of stone (3). Later, in the 12th century and much farther south, there were hundreds of great cities in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. There, massive stone complexes were the hubs of cities. One included a 250-meter-long, 15,000-ton curved granite wall (9). The cities featured huge castlelike compounds with numerous rooms for specific tasks, such as iron-smithing. In the 13th century, the empire of Mali boasted impressive cities, including Timbuktu, with grand palaces, mosques and universities (2).

Lot of good all that does for ghetto rats today.

Face it, wherever blacks are, most are in a mess.

Might be whitey's fault though, but a mess is still a mess.

Since a black President didn't help much, elect an old white woman to take care of you.

You will she how that works out!

Medicine
Many treatments we use today were employed by several ancient peoples throughout Africa. Before the European invasion of Africa, medicine in what is now Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, to name just a few places, was more advanced than medicine in Europe. Some of these practices were the use of plants with salicylic acid for pain (as in aspirin), kaolin for diarrhea (as in Kaopectate), and extracts that were confirmed in the 20th century to kill Gram positive bacteria (2). Other plants used had anticancer properties, caused abortion and treated malaria — and these have been shown to be as effective as many modern-day Western treatments. Furthermore, Africans discovered ouabain, capsicum, physostigmine and reserpine. Medical procedures performed in ancient Africa before they were performed in Europe include vaccination, autopsy, limb traction and broken bone setting, bullet removal, brain surgery, skin grafting, filling of dental cavities, installation of false teeth, what is now known as Caesarean section, anesthesia and tissue cauterization (3). In addition, African cultures preformed surgeries under antiseptic conditions universally when this concept was only emerging in Europe (2).

Tell us about bullet removal in ancient Africa.

Sounds fascinating.

Almost everything you list were universal human achievements that happened in many places and at many different times.

Instead of mythmaking about the past, how about moving into the modern world.

Mansa Musa is long dead, slavery long ago abolished, Civil Rights act 50 years old.

Better quit shufflin' and catch up.

Africans invented steel centuries before those slow whites did.


Haya people - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia


"The Haya people of Tanzania have been linked to one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of all time: the invention of steel. Archaeologist Peter Schmidt discovered through a literalist combination of archaeology and oral tradition that the Haya had been forging steel for around 2000 years.

Say what? Oral tradition? Oh, they couldn't write. Didn't have wheels. I call bull on making steel.

So why didnt whites invent steel on accident? Didnt they have charcoal?

I would have to say it's because they had a better process to make iron and they weren't so inept as to accidentally spill shit in their smelter.

Sorry but everything was done first in Africa and whites only learned it last. Instead of worrying about Blacks learning Black history you should worry about your people lagging behind.

I'm talking about steel not iron. If they had a better process what were they waiting on? Oh I forgot they were still eating each other and painting themselves with chewed up blue berries like in Braveheart.

How does that help the plight of anyone today?

Can it bring back any of the black youth shot by black youth last night?

Will it create any jobs for the chronically unemployed/unemployable young blacks who never advance beyond minimum wage jobs?

Just a bunch of silly, and not even always credible, feel good "history" to deflect from the fact that 150 years after slavery, and 50 years after the Civil Rights act, if you look at the back of the line, there's most of the black folks, shufflin' to catch up.

Time for a new strategy.

It helps immensely. Not really my job to figure that out for you.

Its like when illiterates say Africans never had writing scripts and math then they find out the oldest evidence of math was found in the congo thousands of years before whites even existed.

You stupid MFer...if they were following a certain process to make iron why the hell would they dump charcoal in it?
Dumb as a bag of hammers....

So you could make steel if thats how its done. The fact whites had to learn how to make iron from someone else in the first place is the reason they couldnt make the next step. Youre a stupid little monkey. Typically you couldnt take the next step and figure that out.

Doesnt really matter what you call bull on. Facts are facts.

Unfortunately, they had yet to develop the wheel and the steel was too heavy to carry, so they apparently said "fuck it".
