2 – Africa has no history
I am an historian and I studied history in my country. I was really sad when in a bookstore I heard a father telling his son that the Egyptian pyramids are located in Asia. A reknowned historian from the 19th century said that Africa has no history and made no contribution to human history. he said and all great cultures which developed in Africa must have been connected to Asia and Europe, but not uniqueAfrica. Nowadays we know that is not true, but the gap here is really serious.
