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
do you have any pictures or the names of the types of swords and shields
The name of the sword is called Kuba Ikil btw
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
