This is one of the reasons why i respect Egypt, Ethipia, Syria and Greece. They've managed to maintain the name and the territory from then to now

Egypt was never conquered at any point despite threatning expansive wars from Greece and Mongollia

Shame on Babylon and Assyria that werent strong enough to resist those world powers

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.

Egypt was never conquered? What did the British and French do there? Drink tea?

Egypt was conquered by Alexander the Great of Macedonia and he named a city after himself called Alexandria, that city is still in Egypt till this day. The Romans also conquered and Ruled Egypt, don’t forget Augustus, Marc Antony and Cleopatra.

Is this a joke?

Egypt was conquered several times. By Greece (Alexander the Great), by Rome, by the Ottoman Empire, by the Arabs, by France and by Britain.

It's funny that the once great Persians who had control over most of the world at one point are now rabid, extremist muslims. Zoroastrianism just gave way so easily to backward, violent Islam. Well, it's the power of conquest. African empires too have been made impotent, by Europeans- breaking them up to form weird nations, and taking away their religion (culture)

Several major empires and kingdoms flourished in what is now Nigeria before colonialism:

1. Kanem-Bornu Empire (c. 700–1900s): Located in the northeastern part of modern Nigeria, it was one of the longest-lasting African empires. The Kanem-Bornu Empire was influential in the trans-Saharan trade and was known for its military strength and Islamic scholarship.

2. Sokoto Caliphate (1804–1903): A large Islamic state founded by Usman dan Fodio during the Fulani Jihad. It controlled much of northern Nigeria and part of neighboring regions. The caliphate was a major center of Islamic culture, trade, and scholarship.

3. Oyo Empire (c. 1400–1835): Located in the southwestern part of Nigeria, it was the most powerful Yoruba state. The Oyo Empire was known for its sophisticated political structure, trade, and military prowess, particularly its cavalry.

4. Benin Empire (c. 1180–1897): Located in the southern part of Nigeria (not to be confused with the modern country of Benin), the Benin Empire was a highly advanced and organized state known for its art, particularly the famous Benin Bronzes, as well as its trade relations with Europeans.

5. Hausa City-States (c. 1000–1800s): Located in northern Nigeria, these were independent states like Kano, Zaria, and Katsina, which were centers of trade, learning, and Islamic scholarship. The Hausa states were later incorporated into the Sokoto Caliphate after the Fulani Jihad.

6. Nri Kingdom (c. 900–1911): Located in southeastern Nigeria, the Kingdom of Nri was ruled by the Igbo people and had a unique system of governance based on religious and moral authority rather than military power.

These empires and kingdoms played critical roles in the political, economic, and cultural history of the region that is now Nigeria.

But Syria are more Persian than iran
Syria is Syria and the north eastern part of Syria was part of the ancient Assyrian empire. And it should also be noted that before the coming of the Arabs who brought Islam and the Arabic language to Syria, they speak Aramaic which is an ancient Semitic language which some Syrians still speak a modern variety till this day. while Persia was known as land of the Pars, or Fars that was were the name Persia came from and they speak Farsi, it was later changed to Iran during the first half of the 20th century.

Dude, go and read Egyptian history well. It was conquered many times over.

How do you think the Greek General Ptolemy Soter came to found the ruling dynasty that later produced Cleopatra?

What was Ptolemy's boss, Alexander the Great's position over Egypt before his death? shocked shocked shocked shocked

What of the Ottomans?

In fact there were several.

No Nigeria
Nigeria has no ethnicity history. It started as a company, then amalgamation, then regional government before it was turned to federalism with the seat of power concentrated in Aso Rock (previously in Lagos).

Regional government was what Ojukwu kept insisting on — hence the reason for Biafra.

Basically, Nigeria is a man-made country not a natural country with one or similar descendants

Kemet to Egypt

FANTASTIC.

Thanks for reminding them. 😊

And the meaning of Kemet was “Land of Blacks” because Egypt was BLACK AFRICAN, and our ancestors built the pyramids and temples there.

Also, ‘Kush’ or ‘Nubia’ has become ‘Sudan’.

Sudan has over 250 pyramids, many older than any in Egypt, although they are smaller in size.

Nubian Pyramids, Sudan

The territories once occupied by Assyria and Babylonia are part of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran.
Egypt was first conquered by the Nubians of northern Sudan during the 25th dynasty. The most popular Nubian pharaoh was Tarhaqa (Called Tirhaka in the Bible). Latter, the Assyrians conquered Egypt but later formed alliances during the rain of Ashurbanipal. But later, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated the alliance. Since then Egypt collapsed and was ruled by different prevailing empires including Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and British.
Also the Greeks were conquered by the Romans. During the time of Jesus the Romans were rulling over Greece and all it's former territories

STOP talking thrash. The black man doesn't have history. He has no alphabetical means of writing, but only oral history which is not valid as it is corruptible.
Africa and indeed the blacks are useless and never contributed to the human development and advancements.
If in doubt, see Buhari and Tinubu, are they useful even with power given to them?

Your problem is you are a school dropout who has never read a single book on African history in his entire life.

Meaning you know absolutely NOTHING about your African history.

You are a disgrace of a person.

I would suggest you start with Cheikh Anta Diop’s seminal work, “The African Origin Of Civilisation - Myth or Reality”.

But of course we know you won’t bother.
