Why Hollywood doesn't make movies about these?

A lot of them didn't have written languages(Ethiopia the main exception) so we have barely any records that aren't from outside sources. Records we do have are mostly fragmentary nad in Arabic until modern times.

>gold
And slaves

Mansa Musa I was the richest man who ever lived. They could easily do a movie about him but it's not yet another King Arthur rehash and nobody knows who the fuck he is so they won't.

I ask this alot. There's a lot of interesting shit going on there in classical and early medieval periods. Like, Jewish/Christian/Muslim kingdoms duking it out around Ethiopia.

What made Ethiopia so advanced compared to other African countries?

>writing system
>never colonised
>BTFO italy

>Mansa Musa I was the richest man who ever lived.
lol no

>it's a Yas Forums talks about Africa thread
Oh boy. I do think Nada the Lily could make for great tv. Truth be told, no one is interested in Africa,not even Africans.

Are there any cool stories of the Ethiopians fighting off Muslims? That could be kino.

And the Arabic records aren’t really flattering
He was rich in the same way Queen Elisabeth is technically ultra-rich due to legally owning a good chunk of the planet through the commonwealth.
He was a despotic monarch of a state with a lot of gold, but its not really comparable to personal wealth.

Based

Relatively. Which isn't saying much since its Africa.

Proximity to the middle east
Long history with Egypt

>“Empires” of dirt and literal sticks in the mud
So? A movie just needs a good story and characters.

One of the reasons they never got Islamized.

>the only interesting history just so happens to be my people's history, weird coincidence I know

I could've sworn the Arabs had mixed feelings. The stuff that gets posted here are the same excerpts from texts I doubt most on here have bothered to read in it's entirety.

>Mel Gibson is the only man in Hollywood with the balls to make this.
That would guarantee kino.

If someone cares enough about Prince Ngubu and how he courageously stole 6 cattle from the Ubuntu tribe then they can make a film about it.

This, you could do historical fiction. A bunch of slaves and forced laborers in the salt and gold mines of west Africa rise up against some despotic Kang. I'm sure something like that happened once in a while

Look at that naval access, both to the Nile and the Red Sea

No one makes films about historical Africa for the same reason no one makes films about ancient Ireland

bruh every American knows about Mansa Musa, he's required teaching in elementary school

Hollywood has no idea about African culture. I mean, have you seen Black Panther?

It was also the only place in pre-colonial Africa to use the plow. They also made much greater use of irrigation and the wheel. It was relatively centralized and well administered which gave them a military edge compared to other places so Muslims and Europeans never conquered them. Indeed, they took advantage of the scramble for Africa in the 1880's and set up an alliance with places like the U.K. It was still super poor and feudal but maintained independence. However, that autocracy was pretty severe led to the monarchy's overthrow by communists in the 20th century which really f'd things up even worse.

Africans have no history. They never even composed storytelling.

Nobody's saying he wasn't. He was a ruler in the middle ages. I'm not saying he was a modern entrepeneur. Would still make for an interesting story.

Relative to all of humanity. My god Yas Forumstards are incredibly thin skinned.

The "African" culture (similiar to "European" culture as if it's a single country) presented in Black Panther had to match people's general notions on what "African" culture looks like, so spears, dances and lip plates.

>das rite lil’nigga, one day Massa Musa gonna come down from hea’ven and get all us niggas some gibs!

no reddit, it's pretty easy to understand, being the relatively richest man in a shithole like Africa isn't much to make a fuss about and impresses nobody but poor saps like you desperately trying to elevate those poor monkeys out of their savage state

Africans have no culture beyond dancing and sex.

African history is terrible. Slavery, oppression, infighting, and tyranny. European, Mid east, American, Asian, and Indian are much more interesting.

Why would you try having an honest discussion about Africa on 4Chin?
Is this masochism?

Yes. Exactly. Imagine them trying to make a movie based on actual African history with that attitude.

>Slavery, oppression, infighting, and tyranny
whoa how unique to Africa!

Is this the same guy who make all the "we wuz king" drawing? it's always the same art style

That's the thing. Other regions moved on in epic ways. Africa didn't move on until colonization and STILL has slavery.

yes every story told is of a country moving on to modern liberal values, thanks for creating that market

Hardly any history in Africa was written until Muslims came in right? Everything else is just cool shit archaeologists dug up.

Now I see you are just a retard.

Because Hollywood and the western pop culture in general runs on rampant narcissism.

And despite all the ancestry fetishism the entirety of the Hollywoods black cohort are the whitest people in the world, a direct product of an extremely narrow and established system of values and education that has everything to do with European philosophy and fuckall with Mali.

Pretty sure that African historical dramas are an untapped mine of pure kino (I mean, they made one out of Chernobyl), but don't expect the hollywood studios to make it.

Literally the biggest cuck in history. Crawls out of subsaharan Africa to make a pilgrimage to Mecca and gives away actual tons of gold simply because he has no understanding of how to use money to power and influence.

>el dorado was in africa
>bastet is a black god
>hanuman was a black god as well
That was a mess.

they already made an excellent movie about real Africa

Are there no myths or legends worth telling? No stories about love, adventure, courage or heroism?

I thought croesus of lydia was the richest?

See

Just so everyone is aware of how retarded Mansa Musa is as a businessperson. Pic related is regarded as one of the greatest mosques ever commissioned by Mansa Musa. He paid the designer of this building 200kg of gold for his work, equivalent to $10,786,400 in today's value.

>subsaharan Africa
Mali is Saharan. Look at your map.

Didn't he crash the local and even regional economy of every place he visited when he went on that tour of his, because of all the gold he simply gave away for fun? That sounds pretty in-line with richest man who ever lived to me.

>He was rich in the same way Queen Elisabeth is technically ultra-rich due to legally owning a good chunk of the planet through the commonwealth.

Monarchs back then literally did personally own their kingdoms. Even the british, when they were having their republican period, had really big issues with problems like if it was even possible to put the king on trial for a crime. Technically, crimes were defined as opposing him. Ultimately, they concluded that they actually couldn't, but they went through with it anyway because he was such a dickhead.

Based Yas Forumstard know absolutely nothing about world history and thinking he can talk about it with confidence anyway. I genuinely wish I had this little self awareness.

Yes I saw that Historia video too

They should get Chris Pratt to play him.

did u like it?
