The pics thread

I'd just like to point out that there are large, modern cities in Africa and many Europeans who live in primitive squalor.
 
I'd also like to point out that there were cities in Africa that predate anything in those pictures. Nice going.
 
People have been touring Asia for 400 years? Cool story bro.

Ever heard of the Silk Road?

All those civilizations (Timbuktu, Axum, Kush) were in northern Africa. The huts in that picture are likely from southern Africa, where the climate did not force the inhabitants to "advance" in civilization in order to survive. Great Zimbabwe was an exception, but even then it was merely a giant cluster of such huts.
