What is so fucking sad and pathetic about this, Chinese recently show up and build fucking 750 buildings. How many have the Africans built in the past 50 years?!?!?!?!?!?!
Race is real and racial differences are definitely as deep as genetics.

"The master plan for Abuja defined the general structure and major design elements of the city that are visible in the city's current form. More detailed design of the central areas of the capital, particularly its monumental core, was accomplished by Kenzo Tange, a renowned Japanese architect, with his team of city planners at Kenzo Tange and Urtec company.

Total length of fortifications is more than 160 kilometres (99 mi). Fortifications consist of a ditch with unusually smooth walls and bank in the inner side of ditch. The height difference between the bottom of the ditch and the upper rim of the bank on the inner side can reach 20 metres. Works have been performed in laterite, a typical African soil consisting of clay and iron oxides. Ditch forms an uneven ring around the area of ancient Ijebu state, an area approximately 40 kilometres wide in north-south, with the walls flanked by trees and other vegetation, turning the ditch into green tunnel.
As a construction project, it required more earth to be moved than the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Cant say i care about your materialistic standards of personal value. Shows how shallow you unfortunately are little sock puppet. its sad enough you are a sexist pig.

The grammatically correct way to write the question above is:
Have Africans ever built a city on their own?
And the answer is obviously YES plenty of times, and not just ancient Egypt.
In your vast ignorance and stupidity I will just recommend this children's book to you for your education:
The book above just covers one of many urban centers in Africa before European conquest and colonization-- the same European conquest that destroyed and annihilated many towns and cities.

ent watercourses and biogeography of the Sahara explain the peopling of the desert
Evidence increasingly suggests that sub-Saharan Africa is at the center of human evolution and understanding routes of dispersal “out of Africa” is thus becoming increasingly important. The Sahara Desert is considered by many to be an obstacle to these dispersals and a Nile corridor route has been proposed to cross it. Here we provide evidence that the Sahara was not an effective barrier and indicate how both animals and humans populated it during past humid phases. Analysis of the zoogeography of the Sahara shows that more animals crossed via this route than used the Nile corridor.
Furthermore, many of these species are aquatic. This dis- persal was possible because during the Holocene humid period the region contained a series of linked lakes, rivers, and inland deltas comprising a large interlinked waterway, channeling water and an- imals into and across the Sahara, thus facilitating these dispersals. This system was last active in the early Holocene when many spe- cies appear to have occupied the entire Sahara. However, species that require deep water did not reach northern regions because of weak hydrological connections. Human dispersals were influenced by this distribution; Nilo-Saharan speakers hunting aquatic fauna with barbed bone points occupied the southern Sahara, while peo- ple hunting Savannah fauna with the bow and arrow spread south- ward. The dating of lacustrine sediments show that the “green Sahara” also existed during the last interglacial (?125 ka) and pro- vided green corridors that could have formed dispersal routes at a likely time for the migration of modern humans out of Africa.. ...
The Sahara today is largely populated by speakers of Afroasiatic languages, Berber and Arabic, with some Nilo-Saharan languages (Teda-Daza and Zaghawa) in the region of Northern Chad, and Songhay cluster languages scattered across Mali and Niger (Fig. 3). However, it is clear that this situation is recent; Berberspeaking Tuareg moved into the Central Sahara ˇ«1500 y ago and the spread of the Hassaniya Moors into Mauritania probably dates from the 15th Century (39). Before this time, the central and southern Sahara are thought to have been populated by Nilo-Saharan speakers. The Nilo-Saharan language phylum is both widespread and strongly internally divided, suggesting considerable antiquity (40) (Fig. 3). Its greatest diversity is in the east, where a large number of small branches are found (Fig. 3), suggesting the original locus of expansion. Although fragmented into enclave populations today, the presence and pattern of relic populations in the northern desert points strongly to a much wider distribution in the past, covering the region from the Ethio-Sudan borderland to Mauritania and southwest Morocco."

RE-QUOTE RECAP:
1-- The climatic zones of Africa are a moving target historically. The Sahara was once a lush greenbelt for example.
2--As credible mainstream scholars repeatedly show, tropical Africans range throughout the continent. They are not conveniently confined behind some artificial climatic Jim Crow barrier. They are not static entities, nor are they confined to tropical zones. This is one of the central fallacies with Eurocentric models- they want to present and use a static, stereotyped picture of tropical Africans as somehow huddled next to some environmental "apartheid" line- whether it be the Sahara or the Tropic of Cancer.
3-- The data on the peoples of the Nile Valley clearly show ancient Egypt was fundamentally populated by tropically adapted Africans.
4-- The cultural and material data, from religion to pottery, to art, show close links between Egyptians an other tropical Africans.
5-- Limb proportions studies repeatedly show the same physically.
6--Tropical environments have numerous micro- climates, from hot deserts, to cold, cool mountains, to cold jungle, yes jungle plateaus. Tropical Africans again, are not static. They inhabit all these environments WITHIN the tropic zone. Thus narrow noses on the cold slopes, in the thin air of East African mountains are nothing special, and don't need any "race mix" or "wandering Caucasoid" migrations to explain why.
7--Tropical Africans are the most diverse people in the world, and are not bound by mere environmental factors to explain how they look. Broad nosed, tightly curly-haired peoples appear on cold mountain slopes, while narrow nosed, looser-haired peoples show up on West African savannahs and in deserts. As the cradle of modern humanity, the African genetic pool is the base. Thus native peoples in Africa without say a heavy limb proportion index are not necessarily from elsewhere outside Africa. The genetic diversity of Africa, and the environmental diversity (including tropical zone micro-climes or interzones) covers a wide range.
8-- The tropical zone is right adjacent to the sub-tropical zone, with substantial overlap. In fact the Tropic ZOne cuts through part of Southern Egypt. The notion that tropical people from the Sudan cannot walk 100 miles across the artificial climatic line of the Tropic of Cancer into the Nile Valley, and that somehow "wandering Caucasoids" from 900 miles distant are needed to explain a narrow nose, is still part of the Eurocentric mindset, and fulfills the racial agendas of that mindset.
9-- Finally tropical adaptations are deeply embedded in humans, much more so than mere skin color, nose shape or hair texture. This means that when such adaptations are found, you can be sure that the people are indeed related to those from tropic zones. This is why ancient Egyptians cluster with Black Americans on limb proportion measures- both peoples are tropically derived. Again keep in mind that a slice of Southern Egypt is within the tropical climate zone.
"The Lower Egyptian cultures in the fifth and fourth millennia are marked by an architecture of ovoid or circular huts (pl. 1:8) made of light material (mud and reeds), rather close in aspect to the traditional architecture of sub-Saharan Africa." --Olin and Blin 2003
Olin and Blin made the focus explicitly on Palestine not the Sudan or other southerly areas, but Watterson 1997 offers more detail on how the Lower Egyptian sites like Merimda also shows certain similarities to cultures in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Sudan.
QUOTE: "Entrance holes were probably set high up in the wall at its junction with the a roof, a method still used by the Nuba tribe in the Sudan. None of the Merimda houses is more than 3 meters in diameter, room enough for only one adult, perhaps a woman and her children. his type of single-adult dwelling, arranged in clusters, each house inhabited by a member of a close family group is found today in sub-Saharan Africa.." --B. Watterson .The Egyptians. 1997
The picture is thus of a pattern well established in Africa that is supported by numerous other cultural similarities in art, religion, and material culture in the Nile Valley. Given the weight of the data, these African architectural influences are clearly in place in the north, and may have overlapped with Palestine in ancient times,
And as to Lower Egypt, we all know trade contact was well established as was small scale movement. But as conservative scholars note:
"While not attempting to underestimate the contribution that Deltaic political and religious institutions made to those of a united Egypt, many Egyptologists now discount the idea that a united prehistoric kingdom of Lower Egypt ever existed."
"While communities such as Ma'adi appear to have played an important role in entrepots through which goods and ideas form south-west Asia filtered into the Nile Valley in later prehistoric times, the main cultural and political tradition that gave rise to the cultural pattern of Early Dynastic Egypt is to be found not in the north but in the south."
--The Cambridge History of Africa: Volume 1, From the Earliest Times to c. 500 BC, (Cambridge University Press: 1982), Edited by J. Desmond Clark pp. 500-509
And as to population affinities, the high diversity of Africa makes for a wide range of types, and yet limb proportions gtoup the northern areas with Africand rather than Europeans
"..sample populations available from northern Egypt from before the 1st Dynasty (Merimda, Maadi and Wadi Digla) turn out to be significantly different from sample populations from early Palestine and Byblos, suggesting a lack of common ancestors over a long time. If there was a south-north cline variation along the Nile valley it did not, from this limited evidence, continue smoothly on into southern Palestine. The limb-length proportions of males from the Egyptian sites group them with Africans rather than with Europeans."
-- (Barry Kemp, "Ancient Egypt Anatomy of a Civilisation. (2005) Routledge. p. 52-60)
Primacy of the south is also duly noted by some conservative references
"What is truly unique about this state is the integration of rule over an extensive geographic region, in contrast to other contemporaneous Near Easter polities in Nubia, Mesopotamia, Palestine and the Levant. Present evidence suggests that the state which emerged by the First Dynasty had its roots in the Nagada culture of Upper Egypt, where grave types, pottery and artifacts demonstrate an evolution from the Predynastic to the First Dynasty..
"Egyptian contact in the 4th millennium B.C. with SW Asia is undeniable, but the effect of this contact on state formation is Egypt is less clear... The unified state which emerged in Egypt in the 3rd millennium B.C. however, was unlike the polities in Mesopotamia, the Levant, northern Syria, or Early Bronze Age Palestine- in sociopolitical organization, material culture, and belief system. There was undoubtedly heightened commercial contact with SW Asia in the 4th millennium B.C., but the Early Dynastic state which emerged in Egypt is unique and religious in character."
--(Bard, Kathryn A. 1994 The Egyptian Predynastic: A Review of the Evidence. Journal of Field Archaeology 21(3):265-288.)

^ Now, now, Zarahan. You don't want to overload the mind of the factually stupid one, do you? All that info for him to process. As I said, he can check out the book I recommended above or any other book on African history from the children's section of his local library.
