No one gives a shit about Africa no matter how hard you redditors try to force it

You know in 2100 there will be close to a billion Africans and how many white people? So I'm pretty sure African history will become very important soon enough (as if it wasn't always important, you are simply ignorant)

They're gonna end as Chinese debt colonies anyway, poor people don't get to enforce their own history.

Agreed but also add
>Akkadian, which was the lingua franca of the ancient world prior to Greece, used in international trade and diplomacy.
>Arabic, for the sole reason that many ancient Greek texts were preserved in Arabic, so deriving the original Greek text requires a strong command of both languages.

Also completely unrelated but picrel looks like a Chinese Spongebob fucking a hand and I can't unsee it.

Greek was the most common language in MENA for most of antiquity and the Early Middle Ages.

Also not only do English, French, and Spanish give you free rein over all of the Americas (Portuguese is mutually intelligible), but people from those places also produced vast amounts of written records about various countries around the world that kept few written records themselves. Most of what we know about early modern Southeast Asia for example comes from Spanish writers.
