Also a map of Oyo and surrounding kingdoms
was that like the most successful african empire or why did you choose to look more into it
There were a lot of Successful African empires like the Ashanti, Benin, Kongo, Great Zimbabwe/Mutapa, When I talk about African history I tend to talk about the Non Islamic ones
but w h y
but why what
why not the islamic ones <:RageWojak:552581416022704132>
Because everyone knows about them and has this belief that Arabs civilized them and blah blah blah
Even though the Islamic ones are just as interesting I believe that if I talk about the non islamic ones, the ones that didn’t really have relations with other races, it’d be more interesting since people just can’t say “Arabs/euros civilized dem!” out of nowhere lol
thats understandable
but i have this urge to educate you on islam rn
lmao
you dont know how it feels lmao
its tuff
I have this urge to talk about African History sometimes lol
u r g e s
Here’s this picture of Benin Bronze plauques
do you know what that weapon is in the first picture
like a sword obv but whats it called
I don’t know what it’s called but it’s a ceremonial sword that’s held by the king
what are some weapons they used for war
They used bows, shields, swords, spears and later on, Guns
Guns would become a big thing with their army later on
The name of the sword is called Kuba Ikil btw
cant find any pictures 😦
All that is mainly restricted to their plauques
But the swords however I could probably find if I search enough
cool thing i was able to find a picture of the sword in the statue
the hat is interesting too
thats a thicc sword
Look at that knife thing
Ye
Isn't it heavy for him lol
must be
looks big as compared to the one the Statue’s holding lol
