        Yes. Leftoids are a plague on this board and always block any meaningful discussion rather than contribute to it. OP wouldn't be wasting catalogue space this shitty bait thread if you morons weren't here.

          When your political views are made up of the most moronic failed ideologies that are rejected by 99% of the population, everyone is a leftist to you.

    Define 'pre-contact' Africa, as Africa has had contact with Europe, the Near East, and the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years.

    Also spears > swords. Bottom text.

      This, plus there's plenty of places that obviously could make swords where they still weren't weren't widely used. Spears and bows dominate everywhere.
      Ancient Egypt for example wasn't fond of them, they had the khopesh which isn't even really a sword, and even that largely stopped being used after the bronze age, swords didn't become important until the greeks.
      The mighty Egyptian army was pic related.

    The bigger question is why didn't Norsemen invent swords despite being in Europe?

    Literally all Viking Swords are just imported Frankish weapons.

      They just used the same style dumbass
      >inb4.muh ulfbert or something of the like
      Frank's had better metalworkers and so Frankish swords were prized, but the vast majority or swords in scandinavia during that time were made in Scandinavia

    1. OP states something obviously wrong about Africa using literally the same sentence structure and lexicon for the 1000th time

    2. OP changes his IP and starts arguing with himself

    3. OP dumps his autism folder for the 1000th timr

    Bonus points if he pretends to be Somalian or some other African ethnicity halfway through

    The Shotel is a sword that dates back to the Aksumite Empire.

    We have some metal weapons from Africa that are so weird they couldn't have possibly been copies of anything from anywhere else. Like these... things.

      I assume those were used strictly against other humans, to catch and disarm, no?

    I watched this kino a couple months back called Genesis of the Ashanti. And these Africans made it low budget but it was interesting to see how Europeanized they made their storytelling, like it was Jungian. And the costumes were weird, some would call it gay but it isn't, and the leaders among them had a few European style weapons, most fought with spears and other more traditional style stuff. They even put the God of War 3 theme in it. I genuinely enjoyed the movie btw it was pure SOVL
