They knew how to craft bronze brass iron and steel and example is that in the nigerian city state of oyo the Smith's would use slag from previous smelts to reduce impurities such reduction of phosphorus content

Fascinating. Niggers have the capacity to be slightly smarter than I thought.

Thousands of years ago people were just as smart as today.
They just had less education and means.

How old is it? If it's 19th century or something it is not impressive.
Liam Watson
Africans were not as primitive as colonists portrayed them as. They definitely lagged slightly behind the rest of the world but thats because of how big Africa actually is. For example it took 6 months to go from Egypt to Timbuktu by caravan.
