Same for my aunt. Those people over there love her dearly. My uncle thinks she’s looney tunes and he stays in his golf lane, you can miss him with the Africa talk. He doesn’t go anymore.

They are retarded. Don't some African countries have average IQs in the 80's
I remember being in Catholic school in the 4th grade and seeing all the "feeding starving kids" videos and thinking, " well that just means you will have to keep feeding their kids and their kids etc. forever.
That was 1970 - same fundraising pictures as today, about 3 generations (for them) later.

Look man, this isn't rocket science. I was speaking to the idea of them inventing things. That means we are talking about long ago. Not how things stand now. Long ago Africa was a happening place. Back before the Sahara existed and the place was a barren wasteland. The testaments to their work still stand there for all to see and awe at to this day.
But again, it's hard to say who invented what. A lot of the shite was rediscovered like I was saying before and the more the archaeologists uncover, the more the dates on all this shite gets pushed back even farther. The truth of the matter seems to be that back before the flood there was a global, advanced civilization that existed here that was wiped off the map quite literally.

The shittiest place I've been to is South Odessa
Some spots of rural Virginia are pretty shitty as well
I'm aware that there are many sketchy places in the cities but I'm not going to venture into those areas

It isn't just Egypt. It's the entire northern half of the continent. The entire part that is now covered in sand.

If they can’t get water then how are there any people left in Africa?

That's why you might need continuous support to accelerate the change in culture.

They built everything, even tho, when I look at pictures of things being built in 50's and so on, it's always white people. So where are the projects they built, besides ghettos and crime?

Exactly, the guy didn’t even stick around for the rest of his life to give daily reminders and tutorials on how to drink the water. He just created functioning water wells and hauled arse.
What a loser
Obviously this is sarcasm and I wouldn't call him a loser with a claim it's all for show. However, I wouldn't call him some hero or really anything special either.

He's literally leading the horses to water and like last time the horses will let the work go to shite and will continue to go thirsty.
Beautiful landscape over there at least.

What's retarded is thinking that a guy living in the deserts of Africa 3000 years ago is smarter than modern scientists and medical professionals... and basing it off how well they wrap a dead body.

I didn't say they were smarter. Try to be accurate please. What I said is they were much more advanced than we think they were. And that's unquestionable.

He spent his money to build wells. The people were taught how to maintain them. They couldn't handle it on their own. Was he supposed to move there so he could personally maintain every well?
Whether it was for clicks or not, he spent his time and money trying to provide drinking water to people. We are talking about 10,000-year-old technology. If water wells are only helpful in the short term, then it is because the people can't be helped.
