Nigger story: antecdotal evidence nigger.
I legit had an thread of 20 sources, in which Europe was in endemic poverty from 10th-17th century nigger.
plus the sand castle thing isn't unique to Africa, here are some other bulidings that were neglected:
- The Colosseum’s original features (Rome, Italy)
- Hadrian’s Villa (Tivoli, Italy)
- Palatine Hill Palaces (Rome, Italy)
- Baths of Caracalla (Rome, Italy)
- Trajan’s Forum (Rome, Italy)
- Roman Forum Temples (Rome, Italy)
Again the exception is not the rule.
I can find 50 or 100 structures that was neglected in the same way by Europeans as the sandcastle was.
Nigger you are retarded, Europe was in endemic poverty from the 10th-17th century. Foids prostituted themselves onto the streets lmao.
The Trans-Saharan network existed 500-700 years before most of the major European trading routes.
Africa discovered iron-age smithing a thousand years before europe lmao.
And you know how Mansa Musa, got his wealth from? He got his wealth from advanced metallugry and massive gold mining operations which were unknown to Europeans at the time, and Europeans didn't have access to lmao.
Even (West-African) riverline technology predate European riverline/ocean navigation technologies by an few centuries or thousand years.
Of course, most of these are ancient civlizations that were lost to the sands of time lmao.
Even drainage and advanced sewage/plumbing systems predated European towns/European cities adopting them lmao.
Stop coping. You can't deny the endemic poverty that went on for 8 centuries in Europe due to feudalism.
