Question:

What was the African civilizations like pre-Iron age?

I imagine they would still have been Neolithic due to them being far from the Tin routes.

True, Africa never developed "real" bronze. All objects from Africa that are called "bronze" would be called "brass" outside Africa.

However, the Nok culture already had iron in 700 BC and there are some archeological sites that point at an even earlier origin of African iron production.

Development of iron metallurgy in Africa probably led to the Bantu expansion.

Speaking of Haille Selassie, could someone give me a brief overview of why he eventually was overthrown?

From my understanding, he and the landed aristocracy of Ethiopia had some issues with one another, and although he gave Ethiopia a rapid boost in modernization during the first half of his reign, the country began to stagnate in the second half, partly because Sellasie would not even remotely consider to weaken his own power over his subjects.

>Speaking of Haille Selassie, could someone give me a brief overview of why he eventually was overthrown?

From what I remember, the direct cause was that he failed to satisfy the military when the country was on the brink of a revolt due to famine in the north and the Oil Crisis.

However, his status in Ethiopia had significantly fallen due to his failure to modernize the country and his authority was disregarded as he had previously backed down from one of his positions on modernization after a land owner had challenged it.

>Good

They were barbarians that copied what little art they had from other cvilizations (esp. the Mixtecs).

Inca > Aztec

They had a much larger territory and much more advanced technology. I mean fuck, they were peeking into the Bronze age when the Spanish came in, if they went on for another two hundred years they could have discovered the Tin in Bolivia and gone full bronze age. The Inca were pretty much the Rome of Injins

Niggos should stop claiming achievements of the Hamitic civilisations.

If not for trade with Berbers/Arabs/Horn they would be nothing. As primitive as Abbos, "Zanj".

>>33280

Not Great Zimbabwe, they pretty much started from scratch other than their crops.

But if were going to use that logic the Europeans built their civilization off of the Semetic Civilizations

They were more like the Achaemenids tbh.

are you being paid to shit up every board since the elections are around the corner or something?

>>35634

why are you talking shit about him when he was replying to a shitposter who literally disregarded all historic evidence that had been posted in this thread?

>>35637

because topical shitposting is perfectly fine. as it is topical. bringing your homosexual internet slapfight to a completely unrelated topic/board however, is not.

>>35597

xD le funny brah

>>35637

I didn't disregard anything, I posted "we wuz kangz", don't make something mean more than it needs to be, cuck.

>I didn't disregard anything

>I posted "we wuz kangz"

I like how much sense this makes.
