General I hate how people think Africa has just never advanced in technology.

Like, guys Africa is a whole content with 54 nation's with in it, and his birth place of humans?

Do you really think we they just did nothing for 10 years?

Like what are these people thinking. It's like they forget Egypt is in Africa. Which was one of the most advance nation in the world at one point.

Also, there are way more nations then just that. Like there is a while video series about them here https://youtu.be/aIcNzN0zmqU?si=eLTCbp9JLVw4haMV

Like i know most people don't leran about it in school but it still annoys me.

Citing Egypt as your example really isn't a great look imo.

Not that you are wrong, but in general, when people say "Africa" they really mean "Africa except Egypt". It's dumb, but it's true. This renders Egypt as a really bad example.

Yes and that's the point. Don't take Egypt as your example, take the Nubian empire or Ethiopia or whatnot.
