A genuine response here, voodooism is practicised in Benin, in Haiti in Toga as well as other African nations. It was less than a decade ago that it was permissible in voodooism to sacrifice human beings! In at least some African tribes cannibalism is still a part of their culture. Therefore I disagree with your assertions, there is mass killings and open savagery in Africa. That is not to say that all africans are savages but for many all they have ever known is mindless violence, sacrifices and god knows what else.

I can relate to that...all their history is based on lies starting with the Greeks.  There once was a peaceful civilized world and that was before alexander the great thief. 


African people were sculpted on the walls of persepolis 2500 years ago....way before white europeans had anything to offer this world.  East and north africa were all satrapies of the Achamenid empire who lived in peace under mutual agreement.

And thats ^^^ Real!

Alexander's era was the end of Greece. Hellenic math, science, and philosophy flourished long before Alexander took the throne. Even if Alexander did go around stealing things Rome came in right after and took over anyway.


I've always wondered; how extensive is ancient African and Egyptian math science and philosphy? I mean we all know the Greek stuff. The reports are easy to find. You can read the books by Plato and Aristotle. You can see the geo-centric and helio-centric models of the universe. You can find Eratosthenes' measurement of the circumference of the earth. I always hear people say Greeks stole from Egyptians, but I've never heard mentioned which Egyptians (individuals) or what works they stole from. I'm not doubting it. I'm just asking to see the source material.
