To their defense, theoretically you do have Egyptian and Moroccan as Africans and they have some nice structures.
I also think there was this great mosques built by Arabs and some castles built by Europeans.
There was also a palace in Somalia? that was built by them once they drove away the foreigners (apparently that is a good thing)
At the height of their civilization Egyptians were literally white.
It just says African castles, not sub-Saharan castles - even then they do have Nubia
Yes but as established in the rest of the thread, when a building is built by non-africans but just so happens to be in Africa, that doesn’t make it an “african castle”. These “castles” are as “african” as the Supreme Court building in Johannesburg
Supposedly Great Zimbabwe . Was something of a fortress, I think.
Mostly a really high wall with perhaps a turret.
Obviously what is and isn't a "castle" can get bogged down in semantics.
But calling the Great Zimbabwe a castle is kind of like calling all the North American colonial forts castles as well.
