This includes all of africa since the old monuments in north africa are indigenous because prior to recently they shared genes with "sub-saharan" africa,
however...

Bareasskmeagain, you didn't get it, but your second answer was closer to the side/area!

Someone could search up:
africa's largest monument

It's the all-around largest, so it could be the tallest and widest, but maybe not.

HINT: What have nations built as barriors for foreigners?

The character it's mythically connected to goes WAY back over time: A Biblical queen often associated with africa.
~hope that helps~

There is the stone structure 'Zimbabwe' in the country with the same name. . .matter of fact that is where the country's name came from, formerly it was Southern Rhodesia

Presently Shona is spoken there, however, since they did not have a recorded language one must assume that today's language is a derivative of the ancient.

The mythical figure is a bird, looking like a falcon, the emblem is carved on a rock above the entrance to the structure.
It is the greatest Medievil city in sub-Saharan Africa dating back to the eleventh century. Estimated to have had 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants. It was a religious and temporal capital. The name is believed to come from Shona words: dzimba dza mabwe(great stone houses). The culture who build it is known as Rozwi culture. They grew rich from gold trade with the Swahili from the north and along the east coast of Africa with Arab traders. They became a victum of their own success, by the 15th century they have depleted their resources. When the Portuguese arrived in the 16th century, the city was vertually depleted. There is evidence that the ancients were smelting iron and making weapons.

One more is the great mosque of Djenne in Mali West Africa. It is credited with being the largest mud brick building in the world(been there done that seen that). This mosque was rebuilt in 1905 based on the same design and size as the previous dating back to the 11th century. In Mali they speak Bambara and also French since it was once a colony of France

They did, simply no longer within the equal manner as many of the leisure of the arena sees it. "Western style towns, nation farm civilization" is determined by convenient transportation and ample uncooked constituents (coke, iron ore, metal making constituents). The local Africans didn't have both. Hacking a avenue via very thick jungle is plenty tougher than constructing a avenue from Brussels to Paris.
