I spent almost 18 months in Nigeria (Onne Village, Port Harcourt ) and got to know a few of the Brits and other foreigners that were working there as well.
One of the fellows was fighting during the mau-mau progression and the atrocities that were brought to light during those bloody years. The stories he told were as gnarly as they get.
There has been very few bright spots in African history as a whole. More so in the past when the empires hailed from that part of the globe.
There will always be political unrest and strife due to the lack of resources and technology. All with money try to rule there nowadays.

The ancient Nile Valley and the civilizations that came before it lower down the river, super ancient West Africa (7000 BC-ish there was astrological structures built), Carthage (Clear glass, boats that can leave the sea and more), etc
The birth of humans, as far as we know. (Ethiopia)

I guess Egyptians consider themselves Africans. I have never thought about it before.
I was thinking more of the other portions of Africa. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any major ruins or such in the rest of it. There might be some but it is not talked about much.

egyptians are NOT black africans, nor are carthaginians or punic societies.

egypt is not a black african society, and never has been.
egypt is populated with aryans from indo-persia, and has been since the rise of the cities on the nile.

What you are talking about when you say "Ancient Egypt" is actually a civilization that grew out of something else, and the origins are under hot debate between scholars and historians, but there IS solid evidence in west Africa (I am pretty sure you can find it on Google by searching "Sahara Stone Circle" It's outside of Egypt and it is a astrological structure that points at the constellation "Orion's Belt". This is west Africa if I am not mistaken. This is from SEVEN THOUSAND BC making it 9000 years old and if I am not mistaken, the oldest structure EVER as well as the older scientific/religious installation EVER.
And from there, if you go south of what we call "Ancient Egypt" there were actually civilizations that predated it, and tombs to the kings that ruled those civilizations. And something strange about Egypt, the Heiroglyphs have NO developmental period. They just come up out of no where, and exist as they are and have the meanings they have. So, to me that just says that the previous cultures further down the Nile (the tombs) and deeper in the desert (the stone circle) started it all first.

Ancient Egypt was populated by Semites with Asiatic and African blood, and Carthage was the descendants of the Phoenician Semites and unless "Bronze skin and wavy black hair" is describing some form of ancient Mediterranean Mexican I have never heard of, then I am pretty sure it was nothing CLOSE to white.

i have "bronze skin and wavy black hair" yet am NOT black african.
also, they were NOT semites. they were caucasians (people from the cuacasus mountains of indo-asia) who are in fact the Aryans, who are also the progenitors of the persians jews and arabs, but their languages and societies are all markedly different based on the time between the migrations.
arabic and hebrew are both semitic languages, while persian and egyptian are definitively NOT semitic.
there are a great number of aryan derived cultures in the eastern mediterranean, and not a single one of them is Black African.
they didnt draw themselves as negroid, describe themselves as negroid, or talk about how different they were from other groups in the orient and near east.
Protip: carthaginians are of GREEK (european) extraction mixed with native north african punics (also aryans) NOT negroids.
archaeological evidence has demonstrated this conclusively.
you persist in describing various NON NEGROID cultures as negros, while there are several fine examples of anciant cultures in africa who WERE negroid, for example:
the kingdom of Punt
the Kush civilization (no relation to the Hindu Kush)
the ancient empire of Ethiopia
the Ashanti Empire
The Sao culture
these all predate islam's headlong rush into africa, and their destruction of most of the civilizations they encountered there, which also happened long before europeans began expanding into africa.
