The Great African civilizations
The silence of world historians on the great African
civilization seems astonishing. While this civilization should be counted
among the great civilizations. There are cultural elements,
factors of love, and solidarity that will make the world more knowledgeable.
There are many misconceptions about the lives of Africans
before the arrival of European and American colonies. According
to some historians, Africans were nothing but savages whose only share in the
world was agriculture and slavery.
This is not true. The history of ancient Africa is as
interesting, complex, and sophisticated as any other ancient civilization,
but without exception. This is the only Egypt that has any consideration
when writing history.

Because of this
mentality, European and American historians have long understood that Africa
and its inhabitants had no culture or history of their own, except that it was
given to them by external factors.
However, long before European colonization, Africans built
kingdoms and monuments that competed with any European kingdom.
However, because of
racial prejudice, much of Black African history has been distorted and
ignored in order to justify the enslavement of millions of people for financial
gain. This article will discuss the ancient African empires of Miro, Ghana and
Swahili and their full contribution to the pages of history.
Kingdom of Meru
Miro's reign began in 1000 BC when Nubian rulers formed a politically independent state that the Egyptians called Kush. Eventually, the Cushite rulers moved to Nubia and established the kingdom of Miro.
These rulers established their capital, Mero, around 300 BC,
and the empire lasted for more than nine centuries. Couldn't get its culture to
the pages of history.
This fact is not true.
According to archeological finds in northern Sudan, which is 2500 years old,
there was an ancient civilization on the banks of the Nile River in the Nile and
Upper Nubia. (modern Sudan) which was older than the civilizations of the north
(Egypt). Also, there is evidence that the famous Egyptian civilization was a
high level of ancient civilization in Sudan.
This evidence proves that Miro had a culture and history that
was even older than the Egyptians. If anything, Egypt was a carbon copy of
Marrow.
This country also had its own language. However, most
historians attribute their language and alphabet system to the Egyptians. It
was a common belief that the ancient Black Africans could not develop and
develop a written language.
However, things written in a separate local alphabet appear
in the marrow as early as the second century BC, proving that these assumptions
are incorrect.
This written Meroitic language dates back to the 5th century when it was finally replaced by Old Nubian. The monuments mention Meroitic
extensively, which is especially readable by a certain percentage.
However, the significance of these writings is not known, as
the hieroglyphic script is still unacceptable. Another little-known fact about
meerkats is that their numbers are extraordinary.
Whatever the queens intervened to rule. A queen, Queen
Emeritus, fought the Roman warriors in 24 BC. He won the first battle and lost
the second, Rome's shops were quite a battle, no agreement was reached, and he
returned to Rome.
Rome never conquers Marrow, and this sultan continues to
prosper for another 200 years. In fact, "contraction" is more
accurate, because the leader of the marrow was usually a warrior queen.

Socially, Merro was widely known for its large-scale iron ore
production, the first large-scale industry of its kind in the Nile Valley, as
well as extensive trade with Greece and Rome. Because of Logan's production,
the army is being used for better weapons during the war and has better axes
and hoes to work on farmers' land.
Merrow merchants exported ivory, challan skins, shooter
wings, ebony and gold, and soon gained direct access to the Red Sea fruit
trade.
Miro's kingdom eventually fell into disrepair. The reasons
for the decline of the Meroitic Empire are still largely unknown. A powerful
Abyssinian state in the eastern state of Ethiopia, due to the expansion of one
direction, the Meroitic Empire had to study quest competition. About A.D. 350,
an expeditionary army captured the city of Marvi, ending the kingdom's
independent existence.
The West African Empire of Ghana is another kingdom whose
history was backward and it canceled out external factors. Although the Berbers
actually founded Ghana in the fifth century, they worked on the southern shores
of the Berbers.
Over time, the land
was dominated by Soninke, a market people who live along the Sahara border. It
occupied the right side of the Sahara, the capital, Kambi Saleh construction
and the rapid transfer of the city became the center of the Saharan trade
routes.
Most of the wealth in Ghana on Friday due to transfer routes.
This wealth made it possible for Ghana's local chiefs to pay tribute to the
conquered and subjugated states. However, this tribute is to be gained from the
merchandise business which stretches from West Africa to the East to Egypt and
the Middle East. The trade consisted mainly of gold, salt, and copper.
A hereditary king named Ghana ruled over Ghana. The kingdom
was a married life (as were all friendly states). The ruler's sister gave the
beneficiary to the seat. It seems that
in addition to military power, the king was the supreme judge of the kingdom.
The advent of Islam in Africa
Although Islam has been the largest religion in North Africa
since the eighth century, the state of Ghana has never changed. However, the
Ghanaian court allowed Muslims to settle in the cities and even encouraged
Muslim experts to assist the royal court in governing the country and advising
on legal matters.

The original founders of Ghana eventually died. Unlike Ghana,
the Berbers, who now call themselves Al-Murad, strongly converted to Islam and,
in 1075, declared a holy war or jihad against the state of Ghana.
Little is known about what actually happened, but Ghana
ceased to be a commercial or military power after 1100. The Moravian Revolution
finally overthrew Ghana.
The African people and their rulers have played a passive
role in this process, Europeans and Arabs have presented the history of the
Soviet state, one of which was Muslim-Arab domination.
Recent archeology,
however, suggests that the Swahili people are a descendant of the
Bento-speaking people who have lived along the East African coast for thousands
of years.
Although both Arabic
and Persian married Swahili, neither of these two cultures had anything to do
with the formation of Swahili civilization. These cultures have emerged in the
African civilization that was founded by the ancient Bento Africans.
The east coast of Africa changed profoundly around the first
century AD. Meanwhile, Bento-speaking Africans from within the country migrated
from Kenya to the coast of South Africa.
Thereafter, traders
and merchants of the Muslim world realized the strategic importance of the east the coast of Africa for commercial traffic and settled there.
Between Bento women and Middle Eastern men, marriage,
religion, agricultural architecture, textiles, food, and purchasing power, as
well as a rich Swahili culture, were formed.

After 900 AD, the arrival of the Shirazi Arabs on the east coast of Africa came from the Persian
Gulf and even from small Indian settlements. The Arabs called the region
"Black" and the coastal areas gradually came under the control of
Muslim traders from Arabia and Persia.
By the 1300s, East
Africa's major ports, from Mambaza in the north to Sofala in the south, had
become fully Islamic cities and cultural centers.

The language derived from this civilization is a very common
and broad Franca language: a lingua franca is a secondary language that is a
combination of two or more languages.
Swahili or Kiswahili comes from the Arabic word Swahili,
which means "beach". Swahili belongs to the subcontinent of the Bento
languages on the northeast coast. It is closely related to the former
Canadian languages, Pokemon, and Nagisa.
At least a thousand years of intense and varied dialogue with
the Middle East has given Swahili a complete overhaul of loans in various
languages. Even in Swahili, despite a large number of Arabic loans, the
language is, in fact, Bento.

By the time Zanzibar (from the Arabic word al-Zan) arrived,
Swahili civilization had spread to the south. Later, its inhabitants developed
a small area further south around Safari in Zimbabwe.
Although the northern city remained indigenous and had little
effect on African culture from the coast, the Teflon actively moved inland and
popularized deep Islam and Islamic culture in the African region.
The largest Selvic states were Mogadishu, Barua, Mombasa (Kenya),
Gaddy, Pete, Malindi, Zanzibar, Klui, and Safari, in the far south. Kluwer was
the most famous of these cities and was particularly wealthy because it
controlled the southern port of Sofala.
The interior (near
"Great Zimbabwe") had access to manufactured gold and was located to
the south. On which ships coming from India can expect to sail and return in
the same monsoon season.
These city-states were very cosmopolitan for their time and
all were politically independent of each other. In fact, they were more like
competitive companies or corporations, each ready to win a lion in African
trade.
The main exports were ivory, sandalwood, ebony, and gold.
Arab traders also brought textiles from India and porcelain from China.
Although Arabs and Persians played a role in the development
of Swahili civilization, the nobility was of African descent and ruled the
cities. However, the elders were Muslims and the Muslims controlled the wealth.
Below the nobility were ordinary people and resident foreigners who made up a
large part of citizenship.
However, among the hunters, animals, and peasants themselves,
Islam rarely entered. Even coastal areas near commercial cities were relatively
unaffected. In the towns, mud and knife houses of non-Muslim commoners surrounded
the stone and coral buildings of the Muslim elite and it seems that most
followers of Islam were rich, not poor.
Nevertheless, Swahili developed a culture that blended
African and Islamic elements. For example, both lineages were traced through
the maternity line.
Who controlled the property, through an African practice and the Perrin line, which was a Muslim
tradition. Swahili culture had a strong Islamic influence. But it retained most
of its African descent.
These cities began to decline in the sixteenth century. The arrival of Portuguese trade blocked old trade routes and abandoned Swahili
shopping malls.
The Portuguese wanted
Africans not to participate in African trade and to be fully engaged in
conquering the states of the Islamic cities along the East Coast.
At the end of the seventeenth century, the Imam (religious
leader) of Oman drove the Portuguese off the coast and gradually established
his rule on the coast.
The existence of these ancient Black African civilizations
proves once and for all that Africa had a culture and a history of its own that
existed for centuries before the advent of external factors other than the
Egyptians.

Miro's kingdom ruled
for centuries before the Egyptians and deserved its rightful place as one of
the world's oldest civilizations. The state of Ghana has proved that Africans
are capable of handling their own affairs without European interference.
Swahili and their language existed for centuries before they were
"discovered" by the Arabs and others.
Before the arrival of Europeans and Muslims in Africa, these
civilizations had their own culture, language, and trade and most of the world
knows nothing about them. This is a great crime against the study of history
and it is hoped that through the study and writings of further archeology the
rich and interesting history of these magnificent civilizations will be told to
future generations and will be their treasure.
