Ya'll need to detox yourselves from the tranny and will smith threads. These are the ruins of Dhar Tichitt, located in Mauritania. It's considered the "cradle of civilization" for West Africa.

The term was originally used to refer to China, Egypt, Indus Valley and Mesopotamia but archeologist have begun to refer to ancient areas that developed independently from these cultures.

North America:
Cahokia
Illinois Valley

South America:
Norte Chico
Valdivia

Asia:
Mesopotamia
Indus Valley
China

Africa:
Egypt
Dhar Tichitt
Mapungubwe

Europe :
Minoan Civilization

Older than anything in Europe!!! The Cacs NEVER post anything about this. It had it’s own writing in the form of “Mande Script”. Dr. Clyde Winters writes a good bit on the Mande who built this.

The ancient fertile Sahara once it began to dry between 5-2 thousand BC most Africans there went East to Nubia-Kemet, but the Mande and some Nilotic groups migrated into the Western Sahara where Dhar Tichitt is located.

Point being the ancient fertile Sahara was a place that could be considered the source of ancient civilization. “Atlantis” perhaps or at the least we can say that there was a giant African party there. The other civilizations that off shot are the after parties.

You mentioned the Kingdom of Mapungubwe, founded in 1075

That's not an early civilization, wouldn't that be Medieval?

It's the earliest civilization in south africa so it would be the cradle of civilization for that region.
