Lost and ignored. The history of African Americans and of the continent itself has been ignored by the western societies. Even in maps Africa was shown as smaller than Europe and North America. The land mass is actually larger, but it displays the views of western cultures and the discrimination of people of color.

Why did some historians believe that Africa had no history?

Some historians believed that Africa had no history due to a Eurocentric perspective that emphasized written records as the primary source of historical evidence. This view dismissed oral traditions, indigenous knowledge systems, and the rich cultural practices of African societies, which were often not documented in the same way as European histories. Furthermore, colonial narratives often portrayed Africa as stagnant or primitive, reinforcing the idea that it lacked a historical trajectory. This perspective has been challenged by contemporary historians who recognize the complexity and depth of African histories.


When did the Tethys sea disappear?

The Tethys Sea gradually disappeared during the late Mesozoic and early Cenozoic eras, primarily due to the tectonic processes associated with the collision of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. This process led to the closure of the Tethys Ocean and the uplift of mountain ranges, such as the Alps and the Himalayas. By the late Cretaceous to early Paleogene period, the remnants of the Tethys Sea had largely been transformed into smaller bodies of water, such as the Mediterranean Sea.
