The African Steel Technology Europe Tried to Erase

Описание: The Industrial Revolution is taught as a European breakthrough—but that story ignores a stunning African reality. In ancient Tanzania, the Haya civilization developed advanced steel furnaces capable of reaching temperatures higher than those used in Europe until the 1700s. Using preheated air, carbon regulation, and complex furnace engineering, they produced high-quality steel nearly 2,000 years before the Industrial Revolution.

So why isn’t this taught in schools? When colonial-era researchers encountered the furnaces, they dismissed them as “primitive” or accidental—because acknowledging advanced African metallurgy shattered the narrative that Africa lacked technological sophistication. Later experimental archaeology proved the furnaces were intentional, controlled, and reproducible.

This is not myth. It’s documented science. And it exposes how African innovation was erased to justify colonial domination and the idea of a technologically “backward” continent.
