Do Bantus have sucessful civilisations/history?

[Hararboy]

Maybe Im just ignorant. Most people know about Abyssinia, Ajuraan, Mali, Songhai Adal, etc. Yet I hardly hear about Bantu civilisation other than the Swahili coast which had significant Arab influences. Educate me on Bantu civilisation

wtf are you trying to start bruh?

Some empires/kingdoms:

• Zimbabwe.
  Kongo,
  Benin.
  Ashanti.
  Songhai (biggest empire in Africa)
  Ghana.
  Buganda.
  The Zulu.
  etc...

Some history:

Way back - Bantus started agriculture and an iron age on their own! (with no outside influence) in Africa and had a population explosion so they conquered most of the continent bringing their agriculture and metal works with them through out the continent. That's why they occupy most African countries and their population is more than 800 Million. By far the majority in Africa.

Ancient history- Very old calculator was found in Congo. Some kind of ancient unearthed civilizations are gonna be discovered in Congo once conflict stops. Also, Bantu kings in the south attacked and ruled Egypt more than once. Also, Benin had sewage systems looong before European countries.

Modern history- Shaka the Zulu defeated the whites. Ashanti were badass. Kongo was the only other christian empire. Portuguese took more than a hundred years to subdue the Bantus because they weren't as tame as the Native Americans they invaded. If the Bantus weren't so successful at resisting the whites it would've been like in the Americas. Whites would have had a big population in Africa.

Right now history- Bantu majority countries are all much better off than the countries in Horn of Africa. They'll be developed long before the Horn countries get their shit together.

The only reason y'all look down on them is because they were slaves. Well they wouldn't be slaves if Arabs didn't set a system of slavery for the whites to manipulate and exploit. Also, Jews were slaves of Egyptians and look how successful they are.

quit your racist bullshit

quit your racist bullshit

I havent even said anything racist and i mentioned plenty of black civilisations in the OP. I didnt even mention slavery. You guys are so sensitive. Or maybe youre all just self projecting.

I said I was ignorant and I wanted to learn more about our bantu cousins

[GAMES]

well you can't blame us.. this post looks very much like one of those "why are Bantus so primitive" posts I see all over the internet not just here.

Also, why don't you just go to Black history sites or Wikipedia or Afrocentric YouTube to find out more about their history instead of asking this here in Somalinet with their superiority complex and anti-bantuism lmao

If I dont see west Africans as primitive, why would I see bantus as primitive. Youre making too many assumptions. And I like discussing African history here.

All these empires, and yet no written language. Was there any reason they didn't need to develop an indigenous writing scipt?
