Pretty impressive but if they were so smart they should have used concrete like the Romans did.

He's confusing Mediterranean Africa with sub-Saharan Africa.
They aren't the same.

Losing the Library of Alexandria set us back a millennium or two.

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus is the oldest manuscript written in algebra and trigonometry, dating back to 3,550 years ago.
It shows that the Egyptians used first-order equations, geometric series and a second-order algebraic equation, related to the Pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c²
It also describes how to obtain an approximation of p accurate to within less than 1% and one of the earliest attempts at squaring the circle.
Our ancestors were no fools.
Those who developed the foundations were brilliant.

Mathematics is the universal language.

I thought this was a known fact for quite some time, not news?
Or perhaps I’m thinking of their knowledge of geometry being used to figure land area/crop yields…?

And yet today's Dept of Ed can't get people to read or count pocket change.

He formalized it for teaching, much as how textbooks are not original work, but known work that is then formulated in a way that makes instruction easier.
But yes, to your point much of the hermetic cult he was a part of had prior knowledge of much of early geometry.

But I was told it was the Muslims who invented everything
