there has literally never been a major empire or advanced civilization below the sahara.

Not to split hairs or anything, but one would think kings and gods would have mastered a technology known as electricity, by now....

school children can name great empires of the native americans in south america and central america.
can they name a great empire of sub sahara africa?
Nope...because there literally isn't one.
Those South and Central American empires were contacted by Europeans. As a result, everyone in the western world knows about them. That isn’t true of the sub Saharan places.
Was the Incan empire greater than Axum or Mali? Who knows, but African empires and kingdoms aren’t taught in schools at all. Hell, Sundiata Keita is estimated by historians to be the richest man who has ever lived.

This is an excellent read and an eye opening account of Africa.
After reading through some of that it seems that our own inner cities still bear some of the same cultural mentality towards outsiders of a different skin tone. Almost like it is something genetic in the behavior…

Human evolution seemed keen on getting “Out of Africa” to continue to evolve and adapt. It also seems those leaving were ultimately more successful than the ones that stayed.

Back before the white man stole all the vibranium and the Black Panther suits. Africans used to be the most prosperous people in the world. Now they reduced to living in straw huts and digging through garbage piles. While the white man is enjoying all them skyscrapers in New York city they built with vibranium. Legend has it that before the white man pillaged all the vibranium the local Africans were able to escape to create a new Wakanda known as present day Atlanta right under the white man's nose.

They don’t matter. If they did they would have been spreading their culture around the world, or others making impacts would have spread it more after meeting them. In teaching world history there needs to be an impact.
People know about ancient Egypt and also about Carthage.
Do we need participation trophies now for these African “kingdoms” just for existing?
We also can’t teach about the ones who sold blacks into slavery or practiced slavery which was of some impact.

Can anyone recommend a travel agency that specializes in tours to the ruins of these great empires?

Yet it never occurred to these Gods and Kangz to use the equine as anything other than bush meat. The tribal peoples of North America stole the very first equines that they laid eyes on and were breeding them nearly instantly. Of course, most of the world's tribes had been using them for hunting, travel, war, and farming for most of their histories.

Somebody tell that stupid "kang" that Ramses the Great had naturally red hair, pale skin, and a thin hook nose.
They have his actual physical remains. This is not a theory.
