Well frankly I don't know what you expect from South Africa. We're a 3rd world country, our economy is shit, and our government is literally a bunch of baboons who take all the money that could be put into research and keep it for their fat selves.

I wonder if africans 2000 years ago had abit more to worry about than building fucking massive useless buildings? probably seeing as finding water was probably more important

Actually the early Islamic Caliphates conquered Egypt, thats why its such a predominantly Muslim country

Sorry for the wikipedia article but it's easy to read

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musa_I_of_Mali

TLDR: Basically this Malian was the richest person that there has ever been (relatively), spent fortunes on construction, Destroyed the egyptian economy making gold worthless because he gave so much out on his Pilgrimage to mecca, and his predecessor may or may not have discovered America.

Nope... They were constructed much before any colonial power settled in Egypt.

As spear said I wasn't talking about the pyramids, they're a marvel in their own right, I was talking about Johannesburg. Was it that easy to miss the links i said about South Africa? As for my comments about nothing coming from Africa, I'm sorry, I consider Eygpt as part of the Middle East, even if it's now officially geographically correct. I forgot most others don't.

He was talking about Johannesburg you bell end.
