Now that’s not “black” per se, nor African… but definitely dark skinned people.

“The Ottoman Empire. Now that’s not “black” per se, nor African… but definitely dark skinned people.”

You’re right—The Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was not black. Not sure what the dark skinned people you refer to are, but racially, Turks are considered Caucasian.

So just to be clear, my point was there is no advanced African civilization known in the history of the world.
