Hehe. Asante is a new defiant group that arose as terrorist to the bigger Akan fraternity. And unfortunately for the rest of the world, civilization came to stamp it and made them stronger through slave trade.

Stop the inferiority complex. Where are hebrews mentioned in the great african kingdoms? Africans are africans and hebrews are hebrews. Always trying to be or associated with someone else.

Hahaha Gold hehe. You want to find your identity? You believe your ancestors were Jews? So why do you pray against them knowing definitely the Jews were oppressed? Do your research well.

The writer should have continued till the last empire of Africa: Ghana, Songhai and Sokoto empires are missing in the write up because they also played their roles in the civilization of Africa.

Talk about the Abbysian of present Ethiopia. And the Berbers of present Morocco and beyond.

They hate their own brother, Kwame Nkrumah, and encouraged White supremacists to take over the African continent, why wouldn't africans suffer? Look at their descendants ruling us today and looting our resources! When they were coming they said they were financially okay and they were only coming to help us. We are more poorer now and they have become rich. God punish 'em!

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE AFRICAN CONTINENT IS THAT, WE ARE STILL COLONIZED BY WESTERN COUNTRIES. CAN WE IMAGINE WHITE MEN COMING TO THE CONTINENT TO WRITE OUR OWN HISTORY AS BOOKS FOR US TO USE IN SCHOOLS ? ARE WE THAT STUPID ??? AFRICANS ONLY GO TO SCHOOLS, LEARN TO MEMORISE SENTENCES AND PARAGRAPHS, WRITE AND PASS EXAMS, COME OUT/GRADUATE FROM SCHOOLS, AND THAT'S IT !!!
WE SIT ALOOF FOR WHITE MAN TO MAKE VACCINES FOR DISEASES WHICH ORIGINATE ON THE CONTINENT. WHERE ARE OUR SO-CALLED EDUCATED SCIENTISTS ?????? FOR INSTANCE, IN GHANA, WE EVEN HAVE TO IMPORT CASSAVA FROM CHINA. WHERE IS THE "WORKERS BRIGADE", WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED BY DR. KWAME NKRUMAH ????

The write-up is quite educative, but left out Africa's influence all the way even
into the Orient across the Silk Road, along which people seeking knowledge and wisdom travelled all the way from China, India and other parts of the afar Eadt came to Egypt to learn. Also, your statement after the qeute-up about Kush where you summed up with the comment that the Egyptian and Affrican influence on advancing world civilisation was remarkable, means that ypu do not consider Egyptian civilisation to be African. This is an unfortunate reinforcement of the Eurocentric propaganda that Egyptian civilisation was not developed by Africans, which Eurocentric concientisation through
Christianity and Arabisation through Islam has deeply entrenched.
