Is it a matter of providing support? Is it an aesthetic thing? Shit looks cool in an alien sort of way

Romans were building aqueducts 1 000 years prior to this shitheap

And Egyptians were building pyramids 2000 years before Romans built aqueducts

Yea, ancient Egyptians were cool

Do these adobe mound buildings have rooms in them or are they solid?

That isn’t an answer to my question.

You can literally see an entrance on the one on OP's pic

This building looks pretty good.

So people can reapply the mud over the walls with ease.

Orgrimmar....home

Same logic behind reinforced concrete. Mud is strong in compression and stick is strong in tension

Egyptians are not "africans" they colonized Africa but originated in West Asia, they are genetically closer to Finns than to you.

no they did not.

Serious talk, where there any two story buildings in pre-colonial sub saharan Africa?

that is not serious talk.

You can see the entrance to a brick building. It doesn't really imply anything about the minaret.

There are windows visible in other photos though, so it's clearly not a solid mount of mud.

nice copium retard

Yes, but recorded african history is tied hand-in-hand with contact with other cultures, so it's hard to tell what influences came from where. This doesn't really discredit it because no European architecture was constructed in a vacuum, but it's worth noting. Pic is Madagascar.

When was this built?

Prevents some cracking and cross lateral support so the walls can’t easily fall inward or outward easily.

The site was a compound of buildings since the 1600s, but reconstructed into one large palace in the early 1800s. Used as the royal palace until the French colonialization in 1895. Currently under deconstruction because it burned down in 1997, some progress has been made by UNESCO and France donated a ton of money and it got embezzled.

How does a mid building burn down? Or is this one made out of something else?

>>14951878 (OP)

It makes a composite structure more resilient to stress. It’s like how there are steel girders embedded in western concrete pillars. 



>> /sci/

The palace was built in the 19th century

Right before the French colonized, the rulers of Madagascar tried to modernize and it ended up killing millions

It was built by this guy.

The whole city was full of European buildings. They were trying to modernize half a century before the Japanese, but it was a massive failure because they tried to use unpaid forced labour for everything.

It was stone brick, by so was Notre Dame Cathedral. Supports burning and high temps can ruin any building.

The council in place of reconstructing it is reconstructing it, even after stealing a ton of money, but they also want to make a concrete replica of the Roman Coliseum, which i find hilarious. The natives hate the idea, so time will tell if Madagascar gets a coliseum or not.

>Egyptians are not "africans"

Glad you think Whites are native to Africa 

Gib colonies

Audibly kek'd

Whites aren't even native to Europe.

They are.



Keep coping subhuman

lmao
