>>12066042>Care to show me the african equivalent of greek and indian mathematics?Anyone along the Trans-Saharan routes would've had access to the same information. I'd love to go into detail with the information from the Timbuktu Manuscripts, but most of it is Ajami or Old Arabic, so I don't know if they've finished parsing it.
>Any african equivalent to roman architecture? Walls: Superior.
Sungbo's Eredo. Much larger than any wall the Romans managed, and in their environment, it served to keep large armies from moving in/through.
Even without that, the Yoruba decided to make use of a strategy I'm entirely surprised nobody else has tried: Walling off their farmlands.
Aside from that, Benin did make use of storm drains and public lighting projects. Due to the abundance of rainfall, there was no need for something like the aqueduct, and if they attempted to counter leaching with the system used by Westerners today, burying wood, we'd have no way of knowing.
>Metallurgy existed in Africa and trying to poke out cataracts can be considered early surgery, but having greater than 0 metallurgy and surgery is not an achievement.I was talking about further isolated developments in casting, production of carbon steel, and performing C-sections without killing the mother.
Tell me: Did your men ever figure out things like Agroforestry or variolation? How long did it take for you to figure out how to simply walk beyond the shoreline without dying?
