Rome went so hard on Carthage their descendants are still salty about it.

Yeah, Carthage is a strange symbol of greatness to bring up, since it was famously super-ultra destroyed by an even more obvious and more famous glorious greatness.

Carthage is gay, that's why.

Not Mozart, but certainly Beethoven.

Part of that problem is Americans think "Africa" is a place, they saw pics from there, rhinos and black people, and they think "Cool. That's Africa then I guess. Oh wait whaaaaaaa-aaa-aaa EGYPT is IN AFRICA!?"
