trao, So much truth telling is rejecting the narrative that black and Indigenous people's historical cultures were not technologically advanced.
It turns out the iron production methods that turned the UK into a superpower were appropriated from enslaved Jamaican people.
Reminds me of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu that describes engineering in Aboriginal societies that was erased by white settlers.
