He assembled 500 slaves behind him knowing he was so rich that not one would attempt to Assassinate him

He had hundreds of pages using solid gold instruments and weapons merely for show

@OrthoGoat

if you are going to try and shit on black people at least shit on the tribespeople of the south

not one of the biggest trading centers of the entire world

You can't even shit on nomadic tribes for not having a stable place to develop big cities

Also IQ. Completely uninformed opinion. Have you seen rich blacks from Africa? They're as smart if not smarter than most people for the same reason rich people tend to have higher IQ. Better environment.

everything you guys said makes zero sense

that is what happens when you take 100% of your information from 4chan boards

besides that. border can't preserve cultures.

kinda funny how you guys fucked off real quick after you tried to blatantly make up stuff you didn't know about

@moira they had gold and an army Indeed but they couldn't do anything with them

The area only offered gold and relied on the north Africans for salt

The tribes nearby didn't have many resources worth collecting

Not to mention that the good metalworkers of Africa were all in the south, I don't think they even had iron for a long time

It's literally foolish to say that Ghana was a world power when they had no world influence besides fueling the slave trade

as far as i can see about west africa (a) limited productivity of the territory meaning high cost of administration, (b) lack of eurasian or south american domesticated animals and vegetables, (c) painful disease gradients, and (d) isolation from trade once they reached sufficient scale, that they needed eurasian technology from others to continue scale. I’m just too ignorant still to understand. But it looks like a ‘Jared Diamond’ argument there.

> Mali was an anarchist shithole where the natives had scraps whole the Indians and Arabs traded
I doubt any Indian actually stepped inside Mali lol

Traders

<@&588707615643795456> Daily Question ✝️

**-** Purgatory. Is it real or fake? What is like? What's its purpose? What in the Bible affirms it's existence?

The bible is not the sole authority on christianity

Well uhh I've never been there but I think it would be a logical consequence of having people who have not done enough to get into Heaven

Christianity is not the sole authority on religion

Its asking about christianity tho

@GlobalDelete tfw you know nothing about mysticism

If you arent good or bad enough to go one way or another, Purgatory seems like a logical conclusion

Real, it's not fun, it would be good to know that you are guaranteed into heaven

I yaint got time to justify it, I'll leave it at that

Atleast in Purgatory you can work off sin. It seems like a good place to put those who's only sin would be a distinct lack of faith

F

@Monty There hasn't been many non-christian questions though

And?

Dont care, all other religions are wrong

@GlobalDelete theres a reason for that you absolute not intelligenct individual. Because other religions are either satanic or heretical

According to who?

the immaterial essence is the same

the way of worship and being of worship differs

low iq

> According to who?
@GlobalDelete
According to anyone who knows anything about mysticism

You can disagree on the different denominations but that's it
