Date: September 29th, 2023 11:35 AM Author: Garnet reading party kitty There are a number of factors that may have contributed to why Africans did not sail to Madagascar earlier.
Distance: The distance between the African mainland and Madagascar is significant, ranging from about 200 miles to over 1,000 miles, depending on the starting point. This would have made it a challenging and dangerous journey, especially with the technology available at the time. Winds and currents: The winds and currents in the Mozambique Channel, which separates Madagascar from Africa, can be unpredictable and treacherous. This would have made navigation difficult and increased the risk of shipwrecks. Lack of motivation: There may not have been a strong motivation for Africans to sail to Madagascar. The island was not particularly well-known at the time, and it did not have any obvious resources or attractions that would have made it worth the risk of a long and dangerous journey. |

Date: February 23rd, 2024 12:16 PM Author: Garnet reading party kitty its lolzy that the central highland areas has the NOWAG looking ppl but go to the coast where im now and there's not a single one, its 100% NIGGA... the NOWAGS found out the hard way u cannot live arnd niggas, there's no way they started in the highlands, when they first arrived the island had no one and they were definitely on the coast, but eventually bantu niggas came and though there was some intermixing (prob from rape) even the descendents who had part bantu DNA formed their own diff ethnic group and wanted to get the furk away, so they fled to the center of the islands into the mountain areas... its all so lolzy. some shitlibs will claim it was to escape malaria but the real malaria was NIGGAS (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5415154&forum_id=2)#47430962) |
