@Soul-entity https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/85/Arable_land_percent_world.png wheres the arable land
if desert were barrier there would be a silk road retard
sahara is a great barrier and you can simply see that north africa developed completely differently to subsaharan africa
Exactly
subsaharan africa was barely connected to the outside owrld
wrong
there were some contacts, but not many
its because if the arab invasion
you are completely wrong on everything
stop posting
This is why Rome never expanded south
NO
bro learn history
thats not why
North africa was already developed in antiquity you moron
Imagine if Rome invaded all Africa
Holy shit
north africa had egypt, had carthage and other phoenician colonies
but its by far the largest
<:WAT:485874536332656650>
It's the biggest one
also the hightened competition between civilizations in europe was much greater
in north africa also
and all deserts are hindrances
not really
Soul is trolling
in africa there was much more land available
What if the African continent experienced snowy winters
well I meet many people who see only black-white and cant see any nuances at all
so competition down there was rather weak as you couldnt make use of it all anyways
he can only do 1-0, he sees there was a trade route through sahara
so he says there was a contact
but he wont consider how intensive it was compared to europe or asia
Imagine if the Roman empire managed to cross the Sahara
so europe's size in particular provides perfect conditions for innovations
and developement of tech
as opposed to stagnation
same with arable land, theres not much arable land in africa at all, but there is SOME, so he thinks its rather 1 than 0
