Creating buildings out of bed stone was necessary in the harsh climate of The Ethiopian highlands. Countries like France benfited from its temperate and relatively mild weather, which meant Europeans could utilize ideal building materials like sandstone to create beautiful and intricate building structures. Ethiopia had intense monthly monsoons that would create massive inland seas and flooding events that would destory any building structures. The nile river gets most lf its water from the Ethiopian highlands.

I've known a lot of human garbage Africans in my life, but literally one family of Africans were not. They were from Ethiopia, and both kids were fucking math geniuses, the dad had a Phd but worked as a taxi driver because it wasn't recognized. Every Somalian I've met is a wannabe gangster thug, but this family was so nice and hard working it made me question my racism 2bh. Wouldn't be surprised if Ethiopia was the best of Africa based off how they were.

Racism is stupid. It never be a question of race but a question of culture.
Take a ramdom baby nigger in the shittiest shithole of Africa, give him to a white european familiy in Europe, raise him properly without any mention of his past "culture" and you will have a perfect european. No more idiot or thug than anyother people here.
That's why multiculturalism is a cancer. Because all culture are not equals. They are superior culture and inférior one. Trying to mix French or English culture which have enlightened the world during millenium with shitty culture like African one wich have only brought mudhouses to the mankind should be a crime.

I just think you're being too generous with regards to culture. Caucasions and Negroids were isolated genetically for tens of thousands of years, we recognize physical differences. The idea that any intelligence or impulse control difference is dismissed without thorough research in favour of "culture" or "institutional racism" seems very anti-scientific for me.

Alss you have to take account that Ethiopians were Christians for thousands of Years, and throughout history, they were very pro west. They even allied themselves with the Byzentine empire and attempted to spread Christianity to the Arabs . This was mentioned in the Quran, 1500 years ago. They were a major power in the middle east at the time and comtrolled Southern Arabia for hundreds of years.

your own image excludes them from sub-saharan group. They are cushites, which is a branch of the semites, I believe.
also unlike subsaharan africans they had connection to the fertile crescent and thus to civilization for some time, unlike other places though, the abyssinians got cut out by the muslim expansion and became isolated which made them lag behind.
I'd say they are burn montain-jews more than anything else

It's substantially more arid than France or Rhinish Germany, with a mountainous landscape significantly impeding lines of communication and the ability of monarchs to exert power over the disparate peoples of Abyssinia.

The Balkans are in a similar situation but benefit from a more temperate climate and access to the Mediterranean trade and information networks.
>>
>>52380005
Nah, the structures in Latin America are about as old as this stuff. The Inca empire only started in the 1430s. Obviously they built on what came before, but it is not much older than this stuff. Also their architecture was a bit less advanced because they mostly just rubbed stones together with sand in between them so that they fit together perfectly. They didn't have iron tools to do really detailed stuff. And then in Mexico/central America, they have older architecture but I don't think it's by a huge amount and it's also mostly stone age/bronze age stuff. But you've got to keep in mind that new world civilizations didn't have many others to copy from/trade with like old world ones did. The terrain even kept the Andes and mesoamerica fairly out of contact with each other, so they had to discover almost everything on their own.

This is not true. Abyssinia was always centralized. The reason why the country never controlled the entire territory of modern Ethiopia historically is because modern
Ethiopia is the result of the establishment of an Ethiopian empire under Emperor Tewdros in the 1880s, and also because the Oromo migrations into Ethiopia gradually tied tribal southern Ethiopia to civilized Abyssinia, facilitating conquest and integration - the other part of the empire the east was over historically hostile Somali people and is still very contentious with what Somali authorities there happen to be at any given moment.

>they could have expanded their territory by going down in africa but they didnt
Not much incentive for their trade empire to expand deeper into Africa, itself riddled with difficult terrain and disease, which is why most of central africa as well has remained an isolated and uncivilized shithole

the Highlands provided them with excellent defensible terrain and ports from which they had access to the rest of the world

Their empire fell off the map and disappeared after the muslim conquests, which cut them off from the sea and Christian Europe. Ethiopia slowly became a more militaristic society as they fought off repeated incursions by Muslimshits, and by the time contact was finally re-established with Europe, they rejected Catholicism in favor of their orthodox christianity.

Ever since, Ethiopia was repeatedly shit on by famine and climate. Didn't help either with the two wars against italy

Probably for the same reason the people from the south didn't try to conquer Ethiopia, the mountains were an obstacle. Obviously it's easy to leave mountains than it is to invade them, but still all their military was adapted to their geography, they probably wouldn't perform as well outside of it. Also idk what resources they would want that they didn't have but existed in the rest of sub Saharan Africa, they were still feudal so they didn't have quite the need for raw materials that early capitalist European empires had. Who knows, maybe if European colonialism never happened and Ethiopia developed like European countries did, they probably would have tried to expand south. I'm just speculating about all this though.

And it's a bit more extreme, but the reason South Sudan isn't Muslim is similar, their climate is much wetter and full of disease, so it was hard for Muslims/Arabs to conquer it. It's easy to downplay the role of diseases in history because it's much less of a concern for us in the 21st century, but back then it was a hugely powerful force in history.

Congolese please,thats the thing about African, Native american etc architecture. They have some of those buildings which makes you go like "woo, thats beautiful for such an old building, must be 2500 years old. Then you realize its actually only 200-400 years old.

That building is not impressive for a 17th century/18th century building. Its a fucking mudhut in comparison to european buildins.

Impressive old architecture = China, Europe and the Middle east including pyramids etc in north africa (well, whats left after ISIS ravaged the place)

Arab invasion

On the long-term impact of this battle, Sir Muhammad Iqbal wrote: "If you ask me what is the most important event in the history of Islam, I shall say without any hesitation: “The Conquest of Persia.” The battle of Nehawand gave the Arabs not only a beautiful country, but also an ancient civilization; or, more properly, a people who could make a new civilisation with the Semitic and Aryan material. Our Muslim civilisation is a product of the cross-fertilisation of the Semitic and the Aryan ideas. It is a child who inherits the softness and refinement of his Aryan mother, and the sterling character of his Semitic father. But for the conquest of Persia, the civilisation of Islam would have been one-sided. The conquest of Persia gave us what the conquest of Greece gave to the Romans."[16]

The Nubian Empire was extremely well-developed and heavily engaged in trade and cultural exchange while Scandis were worshipping rocks and invading other regions for supplies because they were too stupid to have a self-sufficient population.
