@re.john21: Some argue Africa wasn’t civilized because it lacked the wheel, but history proves otherwise. In West Africa, Nok terracottas showed artistry without the potter’s wheel. In East Africa, the Haya built furnaces reaching 1,800°C to produce carbon steel nearly 2,000 years ago. And like the Inca, Maya, and Aztec, Africans built cities, monuments, and trade systems adapted to their environments. Civilization isn’t one path and Africa had its own. #storytime #blackhistory #blackexcellence #africanhistory #History

They love to throw out “the wheel” for their argument like their ancestors werent cave dwellers. But look at everything we built WITHOUT the wheel and get back to me

Western philosophy refuses to include the Atlantic World histories. Metallurgy being exercised in African culture was new to Europeans. Not others.

You people like to lie because you are emotional. Stop talking about Egypt. We are talking about black people. Even today there is no black country that has industrialized, how much more 1000s of years ago. Instead of us to learn we want to seem like we are already there

Same for Australian FNP, the terrain was not right for wheels. Roads represent scars, not song line maps.

Agreed - the wheel is not the sole indicator of civilisation.

Whether or not a culture or people had wheel is far less important than their agricultural and artistic development. Could they feed their people, and did they have time to make art.

I look at such arguments about the wheel like ones by religious people who claim their path is the only right one.

The wheel was not even independently made by Europeans, they adopted it from others.

The archaeological definition for "civilization" is so ridiculously eurocentric and they refuse to recognize any evidence of past societies being anything more than savages.
They're the same people who find artifacts they don't understand and fall back on the "it must have been a ritualistic item" idiocy.
It's white supremacy masquerading as science
