For generations, we’ve been taught a version of history that glorifies Europe’s rise while burying the brilliant civilization of Africa. The image of the African continent portrayed in schools, media, and mainstream documentaries has often been portrayed as one of poverty, primitiveness, and dependence. But what if that image was never true to begin with? What if the truth is that long before Europe emerged from the Dark Ages, Africa had already built empires of unimaginable wealth, science, architecture, and power?
From stone cities without mortar to universities with thousands of manuscripts, from precise astronomical calculations to complex political systems… these African civilizations weren’t just advanced… they were more advanced than Europe at the time.
