But ye

2019-10-29 06:41:07 UTC  

yup ^

2019-10-29 06:41:22 UTC  

i always forget when it comes to Hungary

2019-10-29 06:41:47 UTC  

uralic people need to pick indo-european or turkic

2019-10-29 06:42:31 UTC  

theyre like the barely noticeable person that sits in the back

2019-10-29 06:42:39 UTC  

well hungary had civilization despite not speaking afro-asiatic. Plus hungarans weren't very ethnically different from others in the area

2019-10-29 06:42:53 UTC  

@Fidel Castro why dont you understand?

2019-10-29 06:43:18 UTC  

were not saying all civilizations are from the natufians, just that all the african civilizations of any notability are

2019-10-29 06:43:19 UTC  

sorry if i'm misunderstanding you

2019-10-29 06:43:40 UTC  

Europe is predominately indo-european due to the yamnaya expansion

2019-10-29 06:43:46 UTC  

>all african civilizations of any notability
mali empire tho

2019-10-29 06:43:59 UTC  

i used the term notability for a reason

2019-10-29 06:44:21 UTC  

it was notable

2019-10-29 06:44:28 UTC  

mali couldve literally been conquered by any civilized people but their geography made it a pain.

2019-10-29 06:44:32 UTC  

no, not really

2019-10-29 06:44:36 UTC  

it was even in Civ 5

2019-10-29 06:45:26 UTC  

they were tribal people with one guy who came into power, enslaved other tribes in the form of serfdom and dug up a lot salt and gold to then give and trade to the muslims that he himself converted too

2019-10-29 06:45:30 UTC  

Mansa Musa became the richest guy ever

2019-10-29 06:45:57 UTC  

Mali wasn't that impressive it was just had lots of gold mines

2019-10-29 06:46:10 UTC  

Which made it "rich"

2019-10-29 06:46:33 UTC  

It was easily conquered by Songhai which was in turn easily conquered by Morroco

2019-10-29 06:46:36 UTC  

Mansu Musa is considered the richest simply because of the inflation of gold and the fact that they wont give other emperors their fair shake

2019-10-29 06:47:02 UTC  

Morroco, which wasn't even a second tier power, easily conquered the nation that conquered Mali

2019-10-29 06:47:25 UTC  

African history south of the Berbers really isn't very impressive.

2019-10-29 06:47:33 UTC  

Kublai Khan owned all of china. What do you think has more value, all of China or the Gold mines in Mali? @Fidel Castro

2019-10-29 06:48:30 UTC  

but they give all of the worth of China to kublai khan? no because they view it towards the lens of the modern state

2019-10-29 06:48:44 UTC  

Kublai Khan didn't 'own' all of china

2019-10-29 06:48:48 UTC  

it wasn't all his

2019-10-29 06:48:49 UTC  

but for some reason that lens goes away when its comes to the Mali empire

2019-10-29 06:48:55 UTC  

yes, he literally did

2019-10-29 06:49:02 UTC  

there were lower down lords who owned parts surely

2019-10-29 06:49:32 UTC  

thats all of china my man

2019-10-29 06:50:11 UTC  

and unlike the indian and european feudal societies, the khanates were far more centralized and autocratic

2019-10-29 06:50:23 UTC  

this aint the holy roman empire were talking about

2019-10-29 06:51:47 UTC  

@Fidel Castro dude, read your own post

2019-10-29 06:51:57 UTC  

the majority of those titles are prince

2019-10-29 06:52:17 UTC  

there are otehres

2019-10-29 06:52:26 UTC  

and the "kings of states" existed in the most southern regions and were technically owned by the emperor

2019-10-29 06:52:58 UTC  

a vassal is basically a slave
