The conversation was about picking an elephant today. In 2024.

Africa had some amazing kingdoms. Some exaggerated stories claim they had palaces with roads encrusted with precious gemstones, but the truth is that the reality of their civilizations were impressive even without embellishment. That's not what our conversation is about, though.

I would still pick the African ones, nonetheless.
