Its very inspiring hearing about the british empire, Roman empire, greek mythology etc. Just wondered did black people ever rule the world? When(BC)? where (country)? Which books could i buy to read up more on such topics? Or which website could i visit.
I mean we all know about the slavery saga, what about the glories - success, wealth, beauty and much more?
Thanks for your help.

No-one has ever ruled the world - just parts of it. Many Egyptians were black - and they were at one time very powerful. As you say, the African slave trade was largely run by black people, it was a massive industry (although it is now fashionable to to codemn this and blame it on the largely white buyers).

No but they ruled their OWN peaceful little "world". As we all know, Africa was a very lush/fruitful country w/ kings and queens until they were thrown into slavery, killed, robbed naked, and forced to live a life that was not their own. End of story.
Look up Kush....

To my knowledge blacks have never "ruled" the world. Yes, they have had a few countries flourish a bit, but that was after the introduction of other cultures to them. So, they have never succeeded on their own.

look up 'Benin' - it was an empire at one point and very advanced in bronze artworks
But world-wide domination, no - that hasn't happened yet.
