Black People Where Discovered By White People. An insult to where life begins by fineboynl(op):
The black people never built a ship to explore the world. at the peak of civilization in Europe and asea the black people where completely cut off.

Until henry the navigator built the first ship sea worthy to sail and explore the African continent. Black people never think of building a ship for exploration neither school, education or written text.

The lag is among the major reason black people still lagging behind other race.

Your claim is incorrect...

Here is why.

Ancient Africans built ships and navigated the seas, engaging in trade and exploration. For example, the ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Carthaginians were skilled shipbuilders and navigators.

Africans had established trade networks across the continent, Mediterranean, and Indian Ocean before European explorers arrived.

Africans developed writing systems, such as hieroglyphics, Nubian, and Ge'ez, and made significant contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and architecture.

During the Age of Exploration, European explorers, including Henry the Navigator, who you mentioned built upon existing African and Arab knowledge of navigation and shipbuilding.


What hindered African growth was the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism which disrupted African societies, suppressed indigenous knowledge, and imposed European dominance, contributing to the perceived "lag" in development.

The Europeans were amazed at the level of sophistication and organization of the ancient Benin empire when there arrived.

Egypt has one of the first known civilization. How the pyramids were built is still a mystery today even with modern technology.

Mali and Morrocco has some of the first known universities in the world!

what a sad statement, when it is well known that the earliest ship on earth were made by EGYPTIANS (which means Africans)... and just because they didnt try to use their ship to conquer the world, doesnt make them any inferior to others.

as for education, abeg educate yourself on the subject so we dont have to do it for you... if you go to any mathematic/geometry class in the world, you will be told that math and geometry was discovered by Archimedes and Euclid, when in fact Sumerians (aka Africans from the Nile region) were using mathematic/geometry from as far as 3500 BCE... we are are talking about mathematics (from African scholars) that is 3000years older than when your so called European scholars (Archimedes/Euclid) were even born.

So the Egyptians are black Africans now?

As far as Black (NEGROES) are concern this is a load of nonsense.
Mention the Negroes that built the first ships that has been documented, add citations while you are it.

due to its location, Egypt consisted of a various type of race and people (Black/middle eastern mix), thus why the earliest images of Egyptians often look like the below:

So much deception in modern day history.
That told us that Christopher Columbus discovered America, whereas the Vikings got to America long before Columbus voyage.
They told us that Mongo Park discovered the source of River Niger.
All bunch of lies.

the Egyptians were not the same breeds of black Africans. Aka negro's.

The location which Egypt find itself was a hotbed at center of civilization. The middle earth and asea all had contacts and trades.

Contacts with a civilized group will expose an uncivilised group to creates better civilization base on the existing civilization they learnt.

Egyptians have blacks among them probably from freed slaves. We all saw in the bible how Joseph was made a. Egyptians with Egyptian names. Because he was able to solved a problem for the king. Probably so black freed slaves east Africa where also freed in like manner and dwell in Egypt.

If Egyptians build a ship does it mean it was built by a negro's when other nationals live in Egypt?

If black live in Egypt it only means they had contact with civilization there.

According to the history they told us, human existence started from somewhere around Eithiopia

Are Eithiopians black or white?

He means sub Saharan Africans. The Egyptian were diverse, even at some point we're Greek. That's not a point. The Universities you mentioned are Arab institution. Stop countering the truth.

Mention them. Tell us the places they founded there. At least, the Dutch founded New York, the English Boston, the Spaniards, Los Angeles. Tell us the Malian places. You're just being emotionally ignorant.

Read to comprehend not just react and look stupid
Did I say they founded any place?
Did all explorer found places?
The first set of explorers, the pioneers were mostly sacrificial lambs because most of them perished in new lands they dare to explore as a result of diseases and unfamiliar terrains.

The Mansa Musa expedition didn't return (which isnt unusual at that time ) but there was news they reached new land


Ask Google a few questions for you to be more enlightened

do you know anything about Nubians/Nubia and the fact that some Egyptian pharaohs were of Nubian origin (aka Black)...
here let me help you:
Nubians are a Nilo-Saharan speaking ethnic group indigenous to the region which is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt. They originate from the early inhabitants of the central Nile valley, believed to be one of the earliest cradles of civilization.

Don't argue with people that are not willing to learn. To people like him I will just simply ask them to Google it.
There are more pyramids in Sudan than Egypt as a result of the Nubian civilization but if you tell this kind guy that, he will be arguing
